Ghostwriter Public House

What a recommendation! This little town gem is one of those places that just catch you off guard. The decor was was very nice and the vibe was classy. I would say if you are looking a intimate dining experience you would have to come when it is busy. Our server Jenn was awesome! She was super attentive and provided excellent service. Her knowledge of the menu made it easier to order for sure. The seasonal cocktails were amazing. The menu offer a nice balance of a bit of everything. All of the food was delicious and plated lovely. I would recommend this place to anyone. Just a 30 min drive for an experience that is well worth it! Great place!

We loved the atmosphere here from the moment you walk in. It’s clean and beautiful. We ate on the patio which was wonderful. They had a heater going so it was very comfortable. They also have pillows and blankets sitting around that you can use if you get cold. We got the chips and Queso and black radish creamery cheese curds for appetizers. The curds were incredible. We enjoy some tasty drinks as well. My husband and I both got the filet and our steaks were cooked perfectly! They were so tender. Our friends got the veggie burger and the hot honey chicken sandwich. She said it was delicious but not spicy. They are opened Wednesday through Sundays. We made reservations which I think is a good idea because they were busy. We will definitely be back.

Lovely place for a meal or just a drink at the bar. The cheese curds are excellent (from Black Radish Creamery!) and the creme brulee is a must try. Nice atmosphere. Our waitress was the sweetest, very attentive and I loved chatting with her. I had the veggie burger. It was good but could've used a bit of salt. Husband had the NY strip and said it was perfectly cooked (high praise from him). All in all, we will be back for another date night!

My first visit to the revamped Ghostwriter was a great experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I loved the overall vibe. I didn't have a chance to sample the food yet, but I enjoyed exploring the space and trying out a fun new game called Trifle. The special drink of the day, the Hibiscus Margarita, was delicious. I'm already looking forward to returning for a full meal and another round of games. Check it out yourself. Go with friends. It is different but it's a good different.

This is an incredible location for a quick bite or drinks with friends. Update for February 2025: We were admittedly pretty surprised when we stepped since the changes because the entire environment felt much different, not necessarily bad. They basically restructured how they are running things to better match the client demand. This place is much more relaxed, go-grab-drinks-with-friends type of place. I love it! The menu is smaller but still had my favorites. I really like how they added several spinoff pool tables in the second room. This is still the same wonderful place with the awesome staff (shout to Sam who is seriously so wonderful!) I still stand by my word that if you are in Licking County or coming to the area to visit, you need to stop by this place! If you haven’t eaten here yet, you have misplaced priorities. Trust the cheese curds will replace the childhood joy you lost becoming an adult. You also cannot go wrong with the cocktails. Perfectly crafted, delicious to drink.
