First up, it is absolutely imperative that you order the eggplant fries at the Tip Top. I know, I know, the sweet potato fries are delicious, too, but the thing about the eggplant fries is that they are so surprisingly amazing.
The decor of the Tip Top is dedicated to Ohio memorabilia – our table featured an ancient picture of the Circus House (which is at the SW corner of Buttles & Dennison in Victorian Village); it was taken so long ago that Dennison was a broad street – no sidewalks necessary – filled with horse & carriages. It was pretty cool to see something so familiar and yet so strange at the same time.
The Tip Top is a gem in the otherwise rather listless downtown area at night. Don’t let the dark facade steer you away – the interior is warm and charming, the food is generous, reasonably priced and hearty, and the service is casually low-key. A great first date spot.
