The top 20 Dining Guide ’07
Friday, September 28, 2007
By Jon Christensen
The Columbus restaurant scene is the most competitive ever, with more types of cuisines and price ranges than ever before.
Top-notch establishments abound, so restaurants on this list aren’t the only local sources of quality food.
Like any other restaurant ratings, this list is subjective. The primary criterion: quality of the food. Value, the surroundings and the level of service also are taken into consideration — as are other factors, such as the willingness to take reservations, noise level, menu variety and attention to details (quality of the bread, olive oil and butter, for example).
I’ve compiled just the list of restaurants below for those in need of instant gratification (in alpha order, split into “Top 10” and “Next Tier” as in the article):
Top 10:
Dragonfly Neo-V Cuisine
Handke’s Cuisine
Kihachi Japanese Restaurant
L’Antibes
M
The Refectory
Rigsby’s Kitchen
Rosendales
Trattoria La Tavola
The Worthington Inn
And the Next Tier:
Barcelona
Barnum & Tibbets Prime Kitchen & Wine Bar
Bar of Modern Art
Doc Henderson’s Restaurant
Hunan Lion
Latitude 41
Scali Ristorante
Spagio
Thom’s On Grandview
Z Cucina Di Spirito
