Ocean Club
Fish Market
M
Marcella's
Martini
Cap City
Cameron's

I think there might be more, and I'm not certain he owns each of those. He was big here in Columbus and sold some of his places to Ruths Chris years back. He's really the only name you need to know for fine dining in Columbus.

The CIA is very much a college.

thanks--I've been to the Fish Market and absolutely loved it--I'll definitely hit some of these other places on my next visit.

Cane's is only good when your drunk.

The only people that I know that still eat there are college freshman.

For fine dining, The Refractory, hands down. It's one of the better restaurants in the entire country, let alone Columbus.

I agree. If you don't like that particular cuisine, that's one thing. It would be a tough sell to convince me that they don't do what they do extremely well.

It did, in June 2009. :( Handke had sold it about a year prior to that, though.

It did, in June 2009. :( Combination of the recession and the general decline of the Brewery District as a dining destination.

Handke had sold it about a year prior to that, though. Wise old bird, eh?

Marcellas (the one downtown) but you have to go with a group of 4 or more to really enjoy the experience of sharing different foods and Rigsbys.

Can't believe no one has said Hyde Park......though I'd also give M a nod.

Gotta love Thurman's though, as well as Jack and Benny's for breakfast.

i like Mitchells Steakhouse. Starliner is alright, but i guess since thats around the corner from me i've had it too many times.

canes is good, plently of people outside of college freshman eat at canes. Only drunk college freshmen eat PJ's, that shit is disgusting.

but overall i've gotta go with the Top too.
