    We have been to Galli’s on High multiple times and like to take those who haven’t been there. Which we did last night. The newcomer enjoyed the food tremendously and a great time was had by all! I asked the gentleman with if he would return and he said he definitely would.

    My partner and I went to Columbus for an overnight and booked the Guild House for dinner. To say the least, our experience there made our entire weekend. We loved it. It was fine dining at its best and a very European style dinner. The service was excellent in that our server took care of us but allowed us to enjoy our meal and only came over when necessary. The food was presented beautifully and was very good and in just the right size servings. My partner had the Cavatelli and i had the Joyce Farms chicken. Both were excellent! We shared the Caramel apple for dessert. Excellent as well! A visit that made our entire weekend! Strongly recommend eating here! THANKS!

    We went to the Chalet downstairs and it was awesome. Decorated like a ski lodge, it was a great atmosphere, and the cocktails were very good and unique. Our server Michael was fantastic. Highly recommend a trip here before the Chalet goes away until next Christmas.
