Jayme’s 4-star review: I recently visited this location of Yellow Brick Pizza and it did not disappointment. My sister and I were hungry, but we were also very thirsty. Thirsty for wine that is! When we arrived there was only one other table in the entire place and we both love getting to pick the perfect seat in a restaurant. We tend to be rather moody and we were excited to snag a seat up against the wall and off on our own. Eventually we were brought waters and we placed an order for a bottle of wine. Pro Tip - Bottles of wine are half off on Mondays. Yep, we'll be back! After sipping away on our wine for a bit, we ordered a small Fresh Prince pizza, some tots, and a half order of hot wings (for my sister). The tots came out piping hot, but let's be honest. You can't really mess up tots. The shining star in my opinion was the Fresh Prince pizza. This was a white pizza meaning that it didn't have red sauce. Instead it had olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, mozzarella, ricotta, fresh basil, and tomatoes. It was light and tasted really fresh. My sister didn't have a piece and even after ordering a small, I took half of it home. The ladies running the shop during our visit were nice and gave us prompt service. The space itself was cozy and inviting. Expose brick and cool art covered the walls. We'll definitely be back and most likely on a Monday for that wine special. Glad to have them in their neighborhood! -

Jayme’s 4-star review: Friends and I decided to take advantage of the warm spring day with happy hour! We arrived with about twenty minutes to spare before the happy hour specials expired for the day. Phewwww, we made it just in time (happy hour is Monday through Friday three to seven)! The have specials on drinks, apps, and small bites, which is a pretty stellar deal. We also scored major by snagging a table on the patio. Overall, the evening started out as a major win! After sitting at our table for a good fifteen minutes, our server finally came over to take our drink order. We ended up ordering two drinks at once since by this point there was only two minutes of happy hour left. No worries though because they were totally cool with us double fisting so we could take advantage of the specials. Everyone at the table ordered Moscow mules. They were really refreshing and certainly didn't skimp on the alcohol. Two thumbs up! For starters we ordered the roasted cauliflower and the goat cheese board. Both of them were delicious! The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and the pimento dip that lined the plate was super tasty. The goat cheese board was absolutely divine. It included fired and whipped goat cheese with honey, pickled blackberries, some sort of jam, and candied walnuts. Oh my goodness, the fried goat cheese balls were out of this world, especially with a smear of the. After my friends and I chatted and finished our first drink, we decided to order entrees. I went with the veggie black bean burger and truffle fries. Both of my friends got the regular burger. Our food didn't take long to prepare and came out piping hot. My truffle fries were fantastic even without a dipping sauce. I found myself eating the fries more than the black been burger. The burger simply wasn't my favorite. It comes with mixed greens as opposed to a solid lettuce so they got really soggy and icky after the hot patty was laid on top of them. The cheese was a pimento spread and while the spread itself was good, I would have preferred a normal slice of melted cheese. I also didn't like the caramelized onions. The entire burger just felt soggy. There wasn't enough texture for me. That's something I'm pretty peculiar about so maybe it's just me. Overall, I would definitely come back to The Crest Gastropub... Maybe not for the veggie burger, but for everything else, YES! Without a doubt. The happy hour specials were on point, everyone was friendly, our starters were delish and there were several other items on the menu that looked good. Major thanks to The Crest for making the first legitimate day of spring a fantastic one! -

Jayme’s 3-star review: This place is an interesting one. It seems to have a split personality and while I've only experienced one of those personalities, I'm slightly hesitant to meet the other one. Let me explain... Friends and I arrived on a Saturday evening around nine after enjoying a plethora of bars and restaurants along High St. in the Short North. It wasn't very late, but folks had been out and about all day due to the noon Ohio State game. There was no line when we got to the door yet there wasn't a hostess either. We noticed other patrons coming down the stairs and asked them if we were welcome to mosey on up. They nodded so we went with it. We were specifically there to get drinks and we were happy enjoy those on a patio. After getting to the top of the stairs we notice the atmosphere change entirely. Downstairs was an elegant dining experience (so it appeared, we didn't eat) and the top floor was being staged like a night club. Booths already had reserved signs and ladies were running around to clear them off and reset them. We must have gotten there during their "transition" stage. We made our way to the bar and there we remained for quite some time. I had to jump up and down just to get someone's attention so my friends and I could snag a menu. Eventually we decided on drinks and while the $17 cocktail sounded delicious, I went with the more realistic $12 cocktail. After what felt like forever, we finally got our drinks and made our way to the patio. The weather was perfect, they had televisions airing football games, and fun tunes playing. That being said, we only stayed for one drink and decided to bounce. Their website deems themselves as the SN's premier nightlife and game day destination, but it's confusing for me. I don't typically like watching the game at the club with bottle service. And... I thought this was a restaurant. I suppose I'll have to come back to give the grub a try. I do like that they have a variety of items for all dietary restrictions and partner with spots like Shagbark farms. Until then, this spot gets a solid three stars from me. -

Jayme’s 4-star review: I had an absolutely random experience here with friends, but it was fun! We were in the area with the goal of dining at a different restaurant nearby. Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation and the wait was going to be about an hour. Instead of sticking around, we whipped open our Yelp apps and found this Japanese steakhouse across the street. Their Yelp rating wasn't bad and it had been forever since any of us had been to a Japanese steakhouse so we headed there ASAP. We arrived, were greeted right away, and taken back to a table immediately. Our waters were out in an instant and I also ordered a plum wine, my guilty pleasure when dining in this environment. As for food, I ordered the shrimp Hibachi which also came with soup, salad, and two shrimps as an appetizer. As we waited for our chef to get ready, our table filled up to just the right amount of people. While our table was more on the quiet side, we made the most of it and our chef read the room (well, table, lol), really well. He didn't do much of the fun jazzy stuff you expect from a Japanese steakhouse but it was fine. I pretty much ate every bite of everything that was placed in front of me. I was really hungry, but more importantly, it was good eats. Fun fact: They also have sushi on the menu. My friend ordered a roll and enjoyed it. They also have pretty darn good lunch specials.
