Founded in April 1983 by brothers Ken and Paul Pendery, The National Exemplar has been a cornerstone of the Village of Mariemont for 42 years.

Ken and Paul Pendery had the vision to open a restaurant built on consistency, fresh ingredients, great food and great people. They brought their vision to life on the first floor of the Mariemont Inn, right in the heart of Mariemont. The restaurant started as a place where family, friends, and neighbors could gather, share stories and make memories together. With its cozy fireplaces, comfortable atmosphere and delicious food, the National Exemplar became an instant hit.

Over the years, the restaurant has become ingrained in the community. As Mariemont has grown, so has the restaurant. With five refreshes since it opened and the latest in 2022, The National Exemplar strives to grow with the neighborhood. Since 1983, The National Exemplar has become a place for families to dine and spend quality time together. Forty-one years later, members of those families continue that tradition by bringing their children and grandchildren to dine with us. Countless memories are made yearly through dining, wedding and anniversary celebrations, birthdays, baby showers, graduations, and more. Through this time, more than 15 “National Exemplar couples” have met while working at the restaurant, and their children now work at the restaurant.

As a neighborhood restaurant, The National Exemplar always serves the community in the best way possible. From supporting local schools, hosting its signature Great Food for a Great Cause program, and supporting other businesses and programs, The National Exemplar is still as important in the neighborhood as it was the day it opened its doors in 1983.

The National Exemplar is open for breakfast lunch and dinner and is located at 6880 Wooster Pike, Mariemont, OH 45227. Reservations are accepted at dinner only. Please visit www.nationalexemplar.com for more information or to make a reservation.
