Chapman's Eat Market

Chapman's is always our favorite restaurant to go to for special occasions.
The wine list is always fantastic and the food is unbelievable.
This is the first time we did a full tasting menu and we were so glad we did.
Each course was amazing and well curated to the theme.
The service is the best in town and the decor is everything I dream of for my own home! So glad we have Chapman's in Columbus.

2.5/5 Hmmm where to begin...
Came here for my husband's birthday to try the new April menu.
I was told we would be "hooked up" for my husbands birthday when asked if we were celebrating anything special - usually that means a discounted dessert or drink at other restaurants, but that never happened.
I don't expect anything from restaurants, but to be told that we would be "hooked up" and "treated nicely" by multiple people when we are paying a decent amount of money was...
interesting.
For drinks we ordered the colored something and a popcorn style cocktail (I don't remember the names as the new drink menu is not up on their website).
I don't like sweet cocktails, but the popcorn drink tasted like it was not properly mixed, with all of the flavor at the bottom and the alcohol was more forward on the palate.
We then switched to wine and beer. For appetizers we had the General Tso's cauliflower (always delicious and a menu staple) and the mushroom "Dino nuggies" (just fine).
For dinner, my husband ordered the fried chicken which was very good.
I wish the kimchi had a stronger gochujang flavor because it was bland in comparison to the other sides.
I ordered the Radiatori a la Confit Rabbit & Pesto and it was very dry.
I'm not sure how a confit rabbit can be dry? But it was very much lacking and I had to drink a lot of water.
The pepitas, which both looked and tasted like edamame (??? So were they even pepitas????), were not needed in this dish either and did not really do anything for flavor.
I liked the addition of nori, i found that to be very unique. For dessert, my husband and I had the mochi cake which was delicious.
We also ordered the brandy Alexander which was sub-par. I would eat at other places before coming back to Chapman's.

Chapman’s is always incredible.
Excellent food and service.
They have limited seating times meaning that you get a table for 2 hours.
Some of my dining partners haven’t loved this but I think 2 hours is plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Must haves: 1.
Get the general tso’s cauliflower appetizer.
It’s a little spicy but crunchy and soft too. 2.
Get an order of the fries with ranch dipping sauce! 3.
Chicken & shrimp Khao Soi as a main- super flavorful and especially great on a cold night 4.
Definitely get dessert, all options are amazing but the ice cream trio never fails. 4/5/24 Came here for an anniversary dinner and enjoyed the new spring menu.
The miso halibut was delicious.
Cauliflower and fries are still solid appetizers.
We tried the Dino nuggets which were actually good but the texture of the mushrooms was a little odd, but generally good flavors.
Wish the desserts had more chocolate.
