About
Alqueria, in Columbus, OH, is a *New American* restaurant in the University District, opened in January 2019 by co-owners Jacob Hough and Patrick Marker inside a building more than 100 years old. The restaurant describes its style as *'rustically refined'* dining built around Ohio-sourced ingredients.
What to expect
The menu centers on cheeses and cured meats, starters like *Brussels sprouts* with blue cheese, apricot gastrique, and Marcona almonds, and entrees ranging from *buttermilk fried chicken* and a farmhouse burger to gnocchi, lamb chops, and ribeye. The kitchen also serves rotating fish specials and a full cocktail and whiskey list.
Alqueria hosts one or two ticketed *wine and cocktail dinners* most months, and can accommodate private events in its Farmhouse Room or full restaurant buyouts for larger groups.
Highlights
Alqueria is best known for a trio of dishes that have stayed on the menu since it opened: a *Brussels sprouts* starter, *buttermilk fried chicken*, and the *farmhouse burger*. The restaurant sources as much as possible from Ohio farms, including a local Amish farmer and Ohio beef.
Pricing
Starters and cheese/charcuterie boards run *$8–$19*, and dinner entrees run roughly *$21–$39*, with the farmhouse burger at $21 and larger plates like the ribeye and lamb chops toward the top of that range. A daily happy hour, Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., offers discounted food and drinks.
Good to know
Alqueria is a small, roughly *60-seat* restaurant with a side patio, good for solo diners, couples, and groups alike, with no strict dress code. *Reservations* are recommended, especially on weekends and around special events. Parking is on the street — the restaurant recommends the *ParkColumbus app* and notes some spots on Neil Avenue and further north and west are time-restricted but free.
