Chapman’s Eat Market - Columbus

Chapman’s Eat Market is located in German Village. Unfortunately, I’ll have to take off some points despite the amazing service and good food. I tried calling twice to see if I could move up my reservation but no answer. It just kept ringing and this was after it opened. I sent them a message on IG. No reply, they just read it. That’s a full point off. The restaurant itself is beautiful, there’s a secret room just for special occasions/tastings. Seating is limited since it’s not a huge restaurant. Please make a reservation. I’ll rate the food. Overall a 3.5. Honestly, if they would have answered the phone or message then this would have been a 4.5/5. General Tso’s cauliflower 5/5 favorite dish of the night. You wouldn’t even know you’re eating cauliflower because it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Smashed cucumbers ⅘ it was tasty but nothing memorable. Duck and gnocchi 5/5 gnocchi was soft and not too chewy. Duck was tender and cooked to perfection. Kola lamb rack ⅗ it was good but the smokey taste was a bit strong. I think it could have tasted better if there was a little less of the smoked ground cherry salsa. Also, I wished there were less fries. It makes sense that there are a lot of fries since half rack is not a lot. Tasting of ice creamFlowers and cheese ⅖ least amount I liked. Goat cheese ice cream was great but I’m not a fan of lavender in my ice cream.Philosophy major 5/5 favorite. I liked the combination of earl grey ice cream with chocolate ribbons. It wasn’t too sweet.Khao soi “sherbet” 5/5 close second. You have a lot of flavor here. You have coconut, lime leaf, gooseberry, and tamarind. Definitely a treat I wouldn’t mind snacking on.

The highlight of the meal for me was definitely the dessert. The kettle corn ice cream with pickled peaches was amazing, but the corn pound cake was a bit disappointing; it was dense and dry, resembling more of a cornbread and didn’t add much to the dish aside from being filling. On the service front, everything was excellent. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the host provided useful information on how to navigate the restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and dimly lit, making it a lovely setting for a date night if you’re after a distinctive dining experience. It’s also a good spot for cocktails and appetizers. In summary: **Pros:** Great service, eclectic menu, fantastic cocktails and desserts, charming atmosphere. **Cons:** Small portions, higher price point, and the food was somewhat underwhelming for the cost. **Parking:** It was a bit tough to find a spot nearby.

This place is just incredible. Everything my party ordered (which was quite possibly everything on the menu) was top notch. The service was exquisite, and the hospitality of the entire staff was reason enough to return. And y’all the decor is SO. CUTE. I will absolutely be back.

Been meaning to come here but my work schedule has not allowed it until today. Tyler was knowledgable, fun, and attentive. Will be back soon!Dietary restrictions: everything is clearly labeled, vegetarian vegan gluten free dairy free etc. There is options to modify a lot of things and they have mocktails!

However, while our server was a genuinely nice guy, he repeatedly interrupted our conversation every time he approached our small table of three. It would only take a moment for him to stand back and wait for us to acknowledge his presence and finish our sentences. It was quite surprising that he continued to do this without realizing how rude it was. That said, don't miss the chance to dine here – your taste buds will thank you!
