I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

The options for Vegan and Gluten Free is amazing! First time here and we will definitely be back. So many more items on the menu to try. Get the Bang Bang sauce to substitute the sauce on the TownHall veggie burger if you are making it vegan. Worth a stop especially since they are attentive to your food requests for allergies.

We drove 20+ minutes to come visit as last minute dinner plans. I've been looking forward to it as it's picked as one of my 2 restaurants I picked on Offline! We didn't realize you closed at 9 and we arrived after 8pm. Everyone was welcoming even though it was late. We started with the nori fries and pork messy fries (can’t remember exactly what it’s called) and they were yummy!!. My son got the Katsu, my husband got the tonkatsu with duck, and I got the shoyu, gluten free. All was delicious! Can’t wait to go back to try more items!

Love coming here for happy hour and dinner! Firstly, the ambiance and atmosphere cannot be matched anywhere else in Columbus. Such a fun elevated atmosphere. The hostess’s are very sweet and helpful in getting to the rooftop and getting seated in general. All of the menu items I have tried are excellent. My personal favs are the Korean street chicken and the firecracker roll. Being someone with celiac disease, finding places that accommodate allergies is huge. Mandrake does a great job of having a huge selection of gluten free options but also everyone here is very knowledgeable. 10/10 recommendation.

So the pizza is fine, I prefer deep dish pizza though this one comes with vegan and gluten free options (within reason as they cook on the same surfaces it appears). The bar is a riot though, very comfortable with some kind bartenders. The lighting isn't great though the decor is fabulous.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden Gem Alert: Brooklyn Vibes Meet Columbus Culinary Excellence I stumbled upon [‘plas] on 5th Ave a few nights ago and WOW – this place is everything Columbus’s food scene deserves. AESTHETIC: Tucked into what looks like a converted brick townhouse, this spot nails the effortless Brooklyn industrial-chic aesthetic without trying too hard. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that perfect balance of exposed brick warmth and a modern feel that makes you want to linger. You also have options for interior or patio seating - both having their own, unique qualities. FOOD: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Food Game is STRONG. A large portion of the menu is made from scratch in-house, and you can taste the difference in every single bite. They offer seasonal menus and seem to have a lot of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free offerings. Fair Warning: this place uses spices. Not just “heat” but actual FLAVOR (think cumin, garam masala, and Cajun spices). I had the Sea Bass and it was an absolute masterpiece: perfectly prepared, with sides that enhanced rather than competed. We also tried the Creole Tartare (tuna) and the Chef’s Charcuterie - everything had fresh, intense flavors that somehow never overwhelmed. It’s clear they have a passion for food and their kitchen knows exactly what they’re doing. DESSERT: 🍫🍰🥮 We went full dessert mode and sampled almost all of the dessert menu (don’t judge). We tried the Espresso Pots du Creme, the Peanut Butter Mousse, the Hazelnut Olive Oil Cake, and two of the “dessert cocktails”. Everything was phenomenal. SERVICE: Shoutout to Xander, our server, who struck that perfect balance between attentive and chill. He made genuine recommendations, kept our glasses full, and added to the relaxed vibe. OVERALL: Whether you consider yourself a foodie, need to plan a date night, or just want an elevated meal that doesn’t feel stuffy, ’Plas delivers on every front. The seasonal menu concept keeps things fresh, and the execution was excellent. I definitely want to go back and try more things.
