A recent trend

Callie and I have been out and about like everyone else this holiday season. Unfortunately for us, we've noticed a bit of a recent trend at the restaurants we've dined at.The service has just been terrible across the board. We're not talking bad food or the wait staff being rude. We've had trouble just getting refills or to even get or waiter/waitress to come and do their job.Take today for instance. We're at a local Big Boy for lunch today. There's maybe 7 tables with people and our waitress...

Boston's The Gourmet Pizza Review

Location: 191 W. Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, OH, 43218Sports bar specializing in pizza, pasta, and other pub items.Design:Brad: It's the Arena District so you know you'll be paying to park. The inside of Boston's is nonsensical. You walk in and there's not really any hostess standing there. So you just kind of stand in the middle of nowhere until the hostess walks up or the bartender gets sick of looking at you. The design is kind of goofy. The bar takes up a lot of room and the entrance is...

Pete's Place Review

Location: 14211 E Broad Street Reynoldsburg, OH 43068 Pete's Place is an odd mix of your traditional American dishes with Mediterranean dishes. Design:Brad: Pete's Place is split off into two sections. A more traditional diner area and a more modern style eating area. The families seemed to eat in the more modern eating area while older people or lone wolfs ate in the diner area. Callie and I decided on the diner area because there were no children on that side. There were televisions...

Fujiyama Review

Location: 5755 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, OH 43231 Fujiyama is a Japanese steakhouse. The chef cooks your food in front of you and gives you a little show while he does it. You menus selections are pretty much steak, chicken, fish or shrimp.Design:Brad: You walk in and you're immediately interested in the look of Fujiyama. The first thing you see is the hostess standing across this little bridge with a fake pond running underneath it. It was really neat and your first instinct is to stop and...

Johnny Buccelli's Review

Location: 5091 N. Hamilton Road, Columbus, OH 43230Johnny Buccelli's is a sub place that has a little more. You can also find pizza, soup, ice cream and hamburgers on the menu. Pretty basic menu that tries to provide something for everyone.Design:Brad: I'm not going to hold the punches on this place. The interior is terrible. Callie and I walked in and we were immediately confused. They appear at first to be a sit down restaurant but you really bus yourself. The sign wasn't readily apparent...

I am

Callie, one of the co writers of Adventures in Columbus Dinning. The focus of this blog will be more for the middle class. You will not see ritzy restaurants on here very often. What you will get is an idea of where you can get dinner tonight, enjoy yourself, and afford it. We will focus on taste, service, design and customers. I like a little bit of everything. I love Indian food, medium rare steaks and any kind of potato. When I receive food in a restaurant I expect a certain temperature,...

Burgers and pizza are just fine by me. With a new restaurant...
