Delusions of Grandview

They just posted on their facebook page that a second location will be opening in April 2011 at 1400 Grandview Ave (which looks to be in the new building that is replacing the one that burned down last year).
I've only been to their Dublin location once, but I did quite like it. I like the idea of having them within walking distance.

Wow, this looks to be a great addition to the area.
Kind of surprised to see they are allowed to open up in the former kingswood building. I recall reading that due to zoning and not having enough parking spaces no restaurants were going to be allowed. Perhaps they were able to reach an agreement with the church next door.
So what's the vibe of the Dublin location? What places are like it?
FYI, 1400 Grandview Ave was where Aveda salon was on the end by the church in the former kingswood building.

Going into the Dublin location I was expecting a kicked up version of an Old Bag of Nails or Rusty Bucket, but it was much more refined. I believe that specific location in Dublin was previously a Burgundy Room and it had more of that kind of feel to it (minus the wine and tapas menu, of course). Food and service was great. Should be a nice addition the area.

I reviewed them back a few months ago: Review of Matt the Miller's I really, really loved their ahi tuna flatbread, and the garlic aioli they give you with fries is downright addictive.
Good gastropub food - I'd go again in a heartbeat and am psyched that they will be closer to me than Dublin. :)

I am super excited. I bet the terroir of 5xNW will make for much better spinach and artichoke dip.

Grandview Cafe is no longer my cup o tea anymore.
Why's that? Yeah, what is up with that?

I'm excited about MTM opening. I've been to their Dublin location twice and was very pleased with the whole experience.
Grandview Ave corridor is starting to get pretty crowded. All of these restaurants better bring their A game every time if they want to stay competitive. I'm sure a few more places will eventually pop up in the "Yard" as well.
Hopefully Grandview's finest won't be sitting outside MTM at nights waiting to pull people over.

If you drive through Grandview much (I do it daily) you would know the Grandview PD is pretty zealous in their enforcement of ALL motorist laws (day & night). So much to the point where it's borderline militant. I have heard a handful of horror stories of GPD giving out tickets to people in parked cars, or them just waiting outside of area bars and restaurants and following people to their car in an attempt to pull them over once they drove away (not just waiting for someone to speed or swerve).
That level of enforcement definitely deters customers which hurts the businesses.

Regarding the GHPD statements, Matt the Miller's Tavern is in Columbus, not Grandview. Grandview ends at the alley* just north of Shoku and Panera. If your infraction happened in Grandview they can follow you into Columbus.
*Grandview Cafe is also in Columbus.

I drive through Grandview pretty regularly and I've never been pulled over. I have heard horror stories though, but they generally revolve around night time DD enforcement. Which I don't really have any problem with strict enforcement.

Grandview police are pretty good and one of the facets that make Grandview a very nice community in which to live. Last summer I could not sleep and was out walking around 3am. The GHPD drove by me and then circled the block passing me a few more times. Kind of letting me know they saw me. I imagine the cop was pointing two fingers at his eyes and then pointing at me, but it was too dark to know for certain.
The CPD and GHPD also actively keep panhandlers off of the Grandview Strip. On more than one occasion I have seen them 'talk' to the pioneering panhandlers and see the panhandlers leave (probably headed back to High St).
As far as DD enforcement, there are always cabs loitering near Panzera's on busy nights. Why would anyone risk so much to save $15? It is a poor bet and one you will lose someday.

I do most of my marathon training in the Grandview area. I'd feel less safe running if potential DD's and speeders were emboldened through flaccid law enforcement.
