Wonderful experience. Chef Dans ability is by far the apex of the culinary arts . The staff and environment is friendly, warm,... welcoming and charming. This is a perfect experience for someone who is suffering “the same old dining experience” and wantsto taste excellence. Bravo chef Dan Read more
Beautiful, delicious food and great service. Sometimes at restaurants the idea of the dish is better than the actual... execution, but here that's definitely not the case. Portion sizes are also just right. Read more
Really great culinary experience overall. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, very interesting and unique dishes. Cocktails... were also top notch. Highly recommended for those looking for an adventure and appreciate excellent attention to detail withfood and service. My only complaint is menu was kind of tough to read, even more so in low light. Choosing function over formwith menus is always a bonus for some. The Sea bass was amazing. Read more
Read on for FULL explanation of a 4 star rating. In short - if you’ve never been, this is a 5 star culinary experience. If... you’ve been dining with them since their early days in Delaware - I miss the early days. Overall, you will find this anunique, flavorful small plate dining extravaganza. Dishes you’ve never seen or heard of and will never see again. (See photosfollowing). The early days, Veritas was a small bar / restaurant with 4 tables and bar seating. The original staff was awesome.The chefs would come out to greet you and allow a little sample of something at times (or maybe that is partly because wefrequented the place). Always some faves on the menu (mushroom toast, scallops, the desserts were off the charts, the egg servedat an exact temperature on top of risotto that you’d stir so precisely to make this incredible result). And I’m ALL for newitems and rotating menu, but some of the fun and character is lost. Unable to send “kool-aid” to the kitchen (shots to thechef - again, maybe that’s why they came to visit). The drink menus are simpler. Used to have some fabulous smoked drinks thatwere inspiring to watch being made. Etc. other odd thing to miss…the old Veritas appeared to get all its plates and servingware from rummage sales. While that sounds crazy, it brought part of the eclectic party to the occasion where every plate,saucer and glass was different and having its own back story of how it came to move from your great grandmothers antique case tonow presenting this delectable dish in front of you. Veritas made a great business decision to take their concept downtown andexpand. 4 tables and bar certainly made it difficult to expand. It’s a great venue and nice bar above. (Same owner) but againthat bar is simpler in terms of exotic and hand crafted cocktails. Used to love all the little jars of bitters and one-offs theywould create and especially when Tristan would smoke the drinks for you. It’s a set menu (during Covid at least) a Read more
Incredible experience. The autumn tasting menu with wine pairings was the best way to celebrate my birthday!
Service and quality of food is phenomenal. Each dish takes you on a culinary adventure. Cannot remember the gentleman that... served my party but their quality of service and expertise on the menu was 100% value build to my time here. Wine pairing wasspot on for each dish. You can tell there is dedication and passion put into each plate. I enjoyed every single course and waspleasantly surprised by the ones I would have never imagined putting together. Every ingredient comes together into perfectharmony. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. Read more
