Excessive Financial institution Distillery debuts its third restaurant on Tuesday, August 20! The newest outpost of the award-winning distillery makes its house in Uptown Westerville, within the former put up workplace constructing on South State Road.
The area has been given a contemporary makeover that displays Excessive Financial institution’s two different areas – Grandview and Gahanna.
The largely open space options tall home windows and a skylight.
And on the south-facing wall is a protracted bar embellished with white subway tile.
Excessive Financial institution serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with a full bar choice that spans Ohio beers, wines, mocktails, and – as anticipated – a size-able cocktail menu that highlights their whiskeys, vodkas, and gins.
Right here’s the smoked quaint made with their Whiskey Battle.
And right here’s the Blood Orange G&T made with their Statehouse Gin and a house-made tonic.
We tasted a set of appetizers, beginning with the deviled eggs flavored with a contact of white BBQ sauce, spicy crunch, arbol chili mud, and a facet of dill pickles.
The crispy Brussels the place an enormous hit: they’re given a candy chili glaze and tossed with cilantro and candy potato shoestrings.
You possibly can’t argue with the plate of nachos both: house-made tortilla chips piled with pico de gallo, queso, feta, bitter cream, and avocado. You too can add hen tinga, chorizo, or barbacoa.
We made a fast cease for a second spherical, just like the Finish of Nervousness with Whiskey Battle, Buffalo Hint, Aperol, Averna, demerara, and citrus.
You too can pattern the spirits! I ordered a neat pour of the Whiskey Battle Double Oaked.
After which it was on to dinner! The Korean Philly is filled with shaved ribeye, pickled onions and peppers, provolone, and a gochujang aioli. All of the sandwiches include fries and a very good house-made aioli.
The Excessive Financial institution Deluxe is an easy-to-love traditional cheeseburger: a pair of Ohio beef patties on a brioche roll with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and a home “secret sauce.”
The spicy dipped hen sandwich may be very wealthy. It takes an enormous piece of buttermilk-brined fried hen, totally coats it in a spicy sauce, and serves it with pickles and Duke’s mayonnaise on a brioche roll. The sauce had hints of a Korean gochujang combined with Nashville scorching hen seasoning. We ended up re-ordering it with the sauce on the facet, because it registered as too salty for our tastes.
The lunch/dinner menu additionally contains salads, a pair pizzas, and a quartet of signature dishes like peppadew pasta, steak, a hen schwarma bowl, and fish and chips. General, the fish and chips was properly composed: crispy breading, tender fish, well-seasoned chips, and a beautiful home tartar sauce.
