We welcome guests for dine-in Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9 pm. Click the
Menu tab at the top of the page to see our regular menu, or scroll down to see our
specials this week. We have a nice selection of beers and wines to accompany our food.
Reservations are ONLY accepted for parties of 7 or more. There are
many smaller tables that are only used for our walk-in patrons.
Please note: Keri begins taking orders by phone for contactless "Keri-out" when she arrives at 2 or 3 pm, so if you call before then and leave a message, expect a callback around 3 pm. Ordering early helps the kitchen staff to plan and prepare for your order, so, when you can, please order early! (You may pick up your order at a time you choose, between 5 and 8:30 pm.) The number to call is the restaurant's land line: (740) 594-3800. If it rings busy, we are fielding other calls to those who have left a voicemail. Please don't continue calling over and over; we can't retrieve our voicemails while you are doing that. . We do not call back unless we are responding to your voicemail, so please do leave a simple message with your name and callback number!

ORDERING for CONTACTLESS PICKUP
You may order specials or regular menu items for pickup until 8:30, and can phone in your order as early as 2:00 pm for your choice of pickup time starting at 5:00. (Ordering early helps us with workflow in the kitchen and is always appreciated! DO leave a voicemail; we will call you back in the order that calls are received.) You are welcome to pay by phone (use the restaurant number: 740-594-3800) and take advantage of our contactless pickup in the REAR of the restaurant. To do this, please proceed in the direction of travel on South Congress Street. Don't turn left onto Washington Street... just pass it and then turn left to enter the parking lot behind the restaurant. You will see a big blue shelf unit on our rear patio, where we will place your bags of food as soon as they are ready. No need to call when picking up, unless there's a problem with your order.
