Please note: Keri begins taking orders by phone for contactless "Keri-out" when she arrives at 2 or 3 pm, so if you call before then and leave a message, expect a callback around 3 pm. Ordering early helps the kitchen staff to plan and prepare for your order, so, when you can, please order early! (You may pick up your order at a time you choose, between 5 and 8:30 pm.) The number to call is the restaurant's land line: (740) 594-3800. If it rings busy, we are fielding other calls to those who have left a voicemail. Please don't continue calling over and over; we can't retrieve our voicemails while you are doing that. . We do not call back unless we are responding to your voicemail, so please do leave a simple message with your name and callback number!
