Food Scene

South American cuisine, flavors are fresh and clean. I like this place because it's close to my house, easy parking, no waiting and reasonable prices. I like to sit on the patio and I order the Patacon frequently. I think Thursdays are the live music night.

A historical 125 y.o. establishment that celebrates German food with German attired servers. Very popular, there is always a wait and parking behind the restaurant. Put your name in and walk around the other shops, get the cream puffs for sure. Close to our home.

One of the best. Expensive but appropriate for anniversaries, birthdays and celebrations. Highly rated they do have valet parking, or you can take an UBER from our house it's 2 miles away.

Very simple deli in Historical German Village. Good sandwiches and sides you can eat in or take with you in a brown bag! We like to sneak these sandwiches into a Columbus Clippers game (don't get caught) or take them to a park. $8-12.

Historical traditional Jewish deli. All the Kosher food you may be looking for. I don't like their pickles and really only go there for the smoked white fish. It's my fav. $12-16 easily. Hard to find parking.

Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch, they close @ 2:30pm daily. Very healthy, quality food at a good price. Almost all foods are breakfast. A place that strives to accommodate food allergies and uses organic and fresh as part of their standards. I like the atmosphere here also and you will see families along side others conducting business.

Many of our guest want Pizza and this has become our 1st recommendation. Lots of toppings to choose from and liberally applied, medium thickness crust in a nice neighborhood. Rubino's down the street has a cracker thin crust very affordable, or Plank's is a neighborhood pizza pub. You can feel comfortable picking any one of the three based on what you want.
