French Restaurant Review in Columbus: The Refectory Restaurant

This French restaurant on Bethel Rd has a low-key exterior, but stepping inside feels like entering a French winery. The lighting is quite dim—maybe to create a hazy, romantic vibe? ✨ 🌟 Appetizers—be careful not to order randomly or try something too adventurous. For example, my husband ordered a cheese sampler to "try something new," and oh my... let’s just say it was an intense experience 😂. The main courses were just okay—nothing outstanding. If you’ve never been, it’s fine to try once, but if you’re expecting a memorable gourmet experience, you might be a little disappointed. After the meal, I didn’t feel particularly impressed by any dish… maybe French cuisine just isn’t my thing 😅. 💰 Price-wise, à la carte dishes average around $100 per person. If you add wine, the bill goes up depending on your choice. In short, if I had to describe it in a few words: "style over substance." Probably won’t be returning—definitely not my cup of tea 😂. #ColumbusEats #FrenchFood #RestaurantReview #ColumbusOhio #FineDining #NotForMe
