The diversity and passion of those behind the restaurant help create a unique experience that is seldom found in pubs. We are dedicated to bringing you not only quality, fresh food, but also one of the most unique drink menus, from beer to cocktails and everything in between. Our commitment to the environment and community is sincere as we take great pride in offering a holistic approach to food and drink. We are always looking to learn from and partner with individuals, groups, and businesses who share our passion for the advancement of sustainability, community empowerment and great food.
It has been said, "There's a strong sense of civic duty in Clintonville; it's people who don't know each other today coming together tomorrow on projects...We lock arms and fight passionately for our community." The progressive nature of those in the area has been all the support any responsible business would need to thrive, and it's for that reason that we are not only humbled but forever appreciative.
The majority of the herbs and vegetables you see on your plate, or even in your cocktails, are grown right here in Ohio. In fact, some of them are even grown on our rooftop, around our parking lot, and cocktail gardens here on The Crest premises. Growing food is a key aspect of self sustainability that better connects us all to our environment and encourages healthier dietary choices. Industrial farming uses fossil fuels at almost every step, from the fertilizer/pesticide/herbicide in the ground to the gas to plastic packaging. When you grow your own, you can limit the petroleum used. Our gardens allow us to maximize the space we have in order to bring you ingredients that are both sustainably grown and just about as fresh as you will ever get.
We are committed to continually learning ways we can mitigate or eliminate negative environmental consequences associated with running a restaurant. Knowledge guides our actions in order for us to empower community, embolden sustainability, and offer healthy, fresh, and tasteful meals. Here are some of the initiatives we have tried to incorporate into our restaurant. Through trying to achieve these goals, we have realized that there is so much more to be learned, please feel free to share your ideas with us.
