Located on the rooftop of the Canopy by Hilton in Downtown Columbus. The views are spectacular with two patios furnished with fire pits and dining tables. Our menus are driven by the local bounty of Ohio and the Midwest to produce creative New American Cuisine. Executive Chef Jonathan Olson works with local farmers to bring beauty and creativity into the kitchen. The innovation doesn't stop with the culinary program! Our knowledgeable and experienced bartenders are driven to create unique signature cocktails as well as staying true to the classics. Our goal is to create bold and flavorful dishes that rotate throughout the seasons as well as a curated cocktail menu. We highly recommend making reservations to ensure your experience is superb.

At Forbidden Root, we value the way great beer creates pleasure. We also love how beer builds community, whether we're sitting sitting at the table with family or with newfound friends in a community environment. Through both our beers and brewpubs we envelop our guests in a rich multisensory experience through the textures, flavors, and visual sparkle of our beer, food, and environment. Located in The Yard at Easton, we feature creative cuisine from Executive Chef Paul Yow and imaginative brews from Masterbrewer Nick Gabriel. Join us for one of Paul's signature dishes, The Duck & Dumplings, or perhaps a crowd favorite Strawberry Basil Hefewleizen, in our warm and open atmosphere.

    Good food and great atmosphere. Only negative was our server disappeared after the mains came out. Had to go to the bar to get more water and ask for the check. Otherwise was great.

    Guild House is consistently wonderful. We had a great meal during a lively Friday night. The food, service and overall experience were excellent. Guild is a great choice for an intimate dinner or a large group with plenty of options for all dining tastes.

    Solid place to get food and beer, cocktails, wine, etc. We all enjoyed our food quite a bit. The eggplant, avocado/pineapple dip, and kale salad were good. My guests reported good burgers and fries. And my other guests enjoyed their salmon salad. The charcuterie board was disappointing, especially for the price. It was very underwhelming, and presentation was fair at best. All the beers we tried were actually pretty good. None of us ordered a cocktail. Ambiance is nice. Didn't love that we were forced (all of us under 5 ft 3 - to sit on a high top with our feet dangling) - had made a reso and when I inquired about the table at check-in was told it would be over an hour for a regular table. I wish I would have known and requested this up front. Overall, however, I do recommend Forbidden Root - and would return again.
