My partner managed a store in Bexley at the Towne and Country center but we lived in Victorian Village. I went to OSU for 8 years and lived and worked in Columbus for about 10 years after graduation. I really liked Columbus because it was clean and easy to get around. I find it much more progressive than Cincinnati. Back in the early 1970s there wasn't much happening there, but now it is much better. At one time there were few decent places to eat. The Swill Chalet was on Dublin-Granville Road near Cleveland avenue. At that time fine dining was the Brown Derby, the Wine Cellar, The Jai Lai, Christopher Inn, Marzetti's, and a couple of steak houses like the Top. One bright spot was the Engine House. I often went to their lower level restaurant, "The Spot," for late evening casual meals. We especially enjoyed the Charlie's Chowder with a salad and that great bread. My other favorite place was the Jai Lai where I had a house charge account. I had lunch there at least twice a week and often ate dinner there on week nights. I remember Max and Erma's when they had only the original German Village location. The franchised heavily and then had lots of problems. They are back into the expansion mode but the food is awful now and the menu is very weak. One open near me and after giving them a try we felt there was no reason to return. |
