Rhapsody Restaurant

Chose this place because we were taking a fall foliage ride on the Hocking Valley, Scenic Railway. We ask for a reservation at 5:15 and arrived slightly after disbarking. We were seated immediately in an empty restaurant, and attended to by an obviously new waitress.This is a very small restaurant that is, obviously trying to be upscale. That said the menu lacks diversity and his price for upscale, but it's not seasoned nor served in such a fashion. Given our experience, we would've preferred to return to Logan to the Home Tavern for some really good food.When questioned about the menu, she was unfamiliar with what a caper was and was unable to explain the dish stating she's never tasted it!

We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and was seated right away. The wait staff were very helpful, professional, and personable. I ordered the white truffle risotto with salmon and my husband ordered the scallops. Both the salmon and scallops were cooked PERFECTLY! Really impressed! The bill at the end was a nice surprise as we're used to paying a lot more for such quality food. Nelsonville has a good one here and I hope it continues to serve the community for a long time!

We stumbled upon this super cute restaurant on vacation just exploring Nelsonville. We ordered some tasty handcrafted cocktails, enjoyed super delicious ravioli, and finished off with some yummy beignets at the end. We truly had the best time and enjoyed some live jazz music. If you are in the area you have to stop in and give this place a try!

I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked as requested! The herb butter maintained flavor on every bite of the steak! The eggs were cooked as requested. The house potatoes were freshly fried - not frozen. Pleasantly suprised!! The bar area and the seating area are very quaint. Will definitely visit again!!

After a long day of hiking Hocking Hills, this was the hidden gem for amazing food we needed! The Rhapsody Restaurant has an incredible menu that left me wanting to try more than one thing. We started with the Mac and Cheese croquettes, which were FANTASTIC! I ordered the lemon pepper snapper and my partner enjoyed the hibachi steak. Everything was great, and our sever was very attentive. I usually hate live music, but the musician was very relaxing. We were very surprised how few people were in there on a Friday night. Definitely would recommend!!

Came here for our 10 year anniversary and didn't have the best experience. My wife's food overall was salty, she had ordered a rare steak (steak was medium at most) and shrimp scampi with fries. About halfway through the steak my wife had found bits of plastic in her melted butter. I ordered the fish and chips and my fries were cold and my fish was so battered it looked like a fish corndog with a little bit of raw batter inside. We were also the first ones inside and the first to order. The interior was nice with candles on the tables and lowlights. Our server was kind and answered any question we had.

Came here after hiking at hocking hills and it's nice restaurant with great food. We sat on the patio furniture inside and we were able to have our dog with us which was nice. Best part of the restaurant was the service, the waiter was fantastic and went above and beyond. We ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection, recommend checking it out

While in Ohio hiking the gorgeous hocking hills area, my husband surprised me with a reservation to this unique restaurant for my birthday dinner. To start here's what's unique directly from their website: "When you have a meal at Rhapsody, you not only get to enjoy our cutting-edge American Cuisine featuring seasonal offerings in a relaxed atmosphere, you give our students an education.Under the watchful eye of professional chefs and managers, students from Hocking College's Culinary Arts, Baking, and Hospitality and Events Management programs use the restaurant to hone the skills they'll need in their professional careers." HOW COOL IS THAT?! Service was great, atmosphere was upscale and the menu was eclectic. Flavors on our meals really shined and presentation was great! Great selection of wine, cocktails, full bar and local craft beers. We got calamari which is our very favorite appetizer to try literally everywhere. I chose to get an Asian fusion dish which I enjoyed. Bang bang shrimp is a favorite of mine and this was with chicken. Husband got a blue cheese crusted steak with fries. So great.

4 of us stopped in for our first visit and were extremely impressed. Great atmosphere and staff.All the dinners were great. Scallops, fish and chips, bang bang chicken, and lamb shank. The unique sides complemented the mains very well.The entire evening was A+

The food was very disappointing! The coconut shrimp appetizer was over-cooked and had little flavor. Got the spicy meatloaf which was also over-cooked with a very unique, unappealing flavor. Our server was friendly, but when asked about the menu item, "sautéed vegetables", she first reported "cucumbers," but then reported it was "zucchini" when helped by diner. Item was served and it was flavorless, under-sautéed broccoli.... Had very high hopes based on reviews, but was disappointed veey much with the food. Would not recommend. Atmosphere was decent and female musician was pleasant.
