"Disappointing experience! Invited friends there who had not been before wanted them to like it, BUT ... On the menu was Cromer Crab on main menu at £13.95, but a special on the night at much less. Also chilli crab cakes as a special . The two ladies ordered the dressed crab salad. When servered, the crab meat was BLACK, smelled decidedly off and tasted foul! The new potatoes were cold. No self respecting chef would have served the dish in this condition! The waitress kindly offered to exchange the two crab dishes for some other dish, thereby delaying the whole meal for the four of us. We were told the cost of the two crab salads would be taken off our bill really! Admittedly, the replacement steak was good but my wife 's replacement fish and chips was poor. Again, the fish was not fresh and was undercooked no doubt in haste! The chips were cold and tasted stale (as did mine with the Bull burger)! Our bill was approx £100 a significant amount for a disappointing eating experience. On the positive side, the place itself is lovely and the staff very helpful with good service. We suspect that the crab, and fish, had been in stock for some while and was being off loaded as specials , the chilli in the crab cake there to mask the off taste. This is dangerous practice with crab in particular. The problem is probably in the kitchen and needs addressing urgently."

This restaurant is amazing! While in Columbus for work, I discovered it on Yelp and decided to walk from our hotel to try it out. Upon entering, we found ourselves in a charming brewery. View menu

I stumbled upon Wolf's Ridge after an Ohio State football game while staying downtown. My friends and I love craft beers and microbrews, and we were impressed with the quality of the taproom at Wolf's Ridge.

Great service but very average food that was well presented. Wine list disappointing. The highest priced red was barely average in taste. This restaurant looked promising but sadly didn't live up to its promise.

Saturday lunch with my daughter was excellent, food good, ambience excellent and staff really helpful and friendly. An extra special thanks for looking after us as there was a pre drinks reception for a wedding but nothing was too much trouble. Have previously been for Sunday Lunch which was excellent and will certainly return soon.

Having booked The Bull via Open Table, we arrived for our meal to find the restaurant had closed down. While we were stood with our guests, the owner arrived apologising as he hadn't been able to contact me. My fault entirely, as I had not updated my mobile number on Open Table. Thank you to the owner for driving over to explain to us.
