Veritas started as a small recipe-testing operation north of Columbus before chef Josh Dalton moved it into the historic Citizens Trust Bank building downtown, where it opened its doors in 2012. The space keeps an all-glass kitchen, putting the cooking on view as part of the room.
The menu runs on elevated small plates, with the lineup shifting around rotating themes rather than sitting fixed for a season. Wine pairings run alongside, matched to each version of the menu as it changes.
Regulars describe the experience as immersive, pointing to knowledgeable, attentive service and a wine program that draws specific praise. The price point comes up in conversation too, but the recurring take is that what arrives at the table backs it up.
Columbus Monthly named Veritas one of the city's best restaurants of 2025.
