TTQ B4U Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hyde Park is good. Mitchell's too. The Top Steakhouse isn't bad. Those are my three. I usually select Hyde Park and Mitchell's for my company events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Top will be the next one I try. Wife and I have done Smith and Wollensky the last 4 years. Last year was the worst steak I've ever had anywhere......including Golden Corral. Shitty steak and it'll be my last Smith and Wollensky steak.

cruizin01 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Top! J Gilbert isn't terrible. Pretty decent amount of food for the money. I had a pretty decent steak at Ocean Club recently. The Barn has decent Ribeye as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 J. Alexander (Prime Rib), The Elevator (Beer, The Rock Filet), Smith and Wollensky (Bone-in Ribeye). My three faves, and the things they do best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Top is awesome. Eddies is fantastic. Hudson 29 certainly doesn't suck. I love Hyde Park. And if you want a casual but fantastic experience you cannot go wrong with the rock filet at the Elevator. You really cannot go wrong with any of these options. Good Luck! -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I read Ruth chris bought Mitchell's steakhouse and fish market in 2008 for $92 million then sold them in 2014 for $10 million. Holy shit that's a terrible loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I read Ruth chris bought Mitchell's steakhouse and fish market in 2008 for $92 million then sold them in 2014 for $10 million. Holy shit that's a terrible loss. this is a pretty good analysis of the deal: http://nrn.com/blog/why-did-ruths-sell-mitchells-so-little My wife used to work for Ruth's Chris Corporate when we lived in New Orleans. It was an ok company to work for but she hated her manager. Still got to eat a ton of free steak though. In terms of the national chain steakhouses I would rank it higher than Smith and Wollensky and The Capital Grille in most locations (but not Cbus since they closed), but not higher than other chains. A lot of solid suggestions in here food wise so I don't have much to add. Can I ask though - is anybody else bothered by Elevator's Decor? The awful two tone green carpet and that leftover 1980's booth fabric kinda bothers me for how "high end" the menu seems to be. The bar area, private booths, and pool table area all are great - it's just that general dining room that reminds me of a dentists waiting room circa 1987.

RC K9 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hyde Park and The Elevator are good. One place I never ate while I lived in Columbus but heard great things about was The Refectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I didnt enjoy Hyde Park. The steak I got really didnt blow me away and I was not too stoked about ordering sides on the side. I like it when they have it all plated, chefs choice lol. Give me a full dish with sides/sauces/ect that compliment each other. I think the Refectory food was good, but I hated the actual place. Huge cathedral...cold, musty, lit pretty brightly if I recall, and just totally full of old people lol Eddies was superb as well, but again...the place looks like a Holiday Inn. I guess I just like unique, dimmer places for date nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Checked out elevators menu since I have never heard of elevator. What's this rock filet and how it's cooked? Also it's only 4 oz. how many do you order because 4 oz is a warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
