Tinkering pays off for Latitude 41’s happy hour
Good restaurants stay good by consistently delivering the goods that regulars have come to crave.
 
Better restaurants are restless and will address shortcomings as well as tinker with success. Latitude 41 exists in that latter category.
 
Leading Latitude’s current (gradually progressing) tinkering team are sous chef Andrew Bell and new mixologist Nicolene Schwartz. I like their enthusiasm, style and new-fashioned offerings.
 
And I like attending an improvised Latitude food party created by rounding up eager tablemates along with a smorgasbord of nicely priced small plates ($3 to $10). This feasting fiesta is thoughtfully enabled — and delightfully discounted — during Latitude’s two-for-one happy hour (Monday through Friday, 5 to 6:30 p.m.).

LATITUDE 41 IS OFFICAILLY THE GRILLED CHEESE CHAMPION IN COLUMBUS!
The results are in! Our esteemed judges (Monica Day of NBC 4, Chef Eric Till of Commonwealth Sandwich Bar, and Rick Wolfe of The Cheesy Truck) have declared Chef Dave MacLennan of Latitude 41 Restaurant the overall winner of the Grilled Cheese Throwdown and the newly crowned Grilled Cheese Master! A close second goes to Chef Jeff Lindemeyer of Cameron's American Bistro.

Our featured "grilled cheese" was somewhat a twist on a BLT as well. We used Brioche bread, a luxurious tomato jam, pork belly, and of course CHEESE! Stay tuned for the recipe so you can make Chef Dave's winning creation on your own!

This was my first visit to Latitude 41. I wanted to provide my 12-year-old daughter on her friend with a special dining experience. we skipped the child menu, and selected to go with the chef's menu for the three of us. this was a tricky proposition since I am vegan and I had two kids with me. our server, Charles, could not have been any better. The chef came up with a very child friendly menu for the girls: Pear salad, lobster macaroni and cheese, steak, and a delicious toffee cake dessert. I had for delicious and perfect vegan plates each pair with the perfect wine selection. If the chef can accommodate my dinner party he can accommodate anybody's needs.

One of the best meals we've had in Columbus in years.

Loved our dinner out. We ate outside and enjoyed the early fall weather. Our waiter, Tiffany, was perfect. The staff makes you feel very welcome; like they've known you forever. I think I go there more for the people than the food. But the food is fantastic too. Not something you'll find in other restaurants.

We took friends to Latitude 41 for their first time eating there. They said the food, T-bone lamb chop, sweet corn risotto, and lobster macaroni and cheese as weel as the desserts we chose, definitely raised the bar for their dining experiences. Bravo to the chef.

I love the decor, which has a quiet elegance that warmly invites the diner to be comfortable and relaxed. I adore the menu, which offers unusual and immensely interesting dishes. The food is exquisite, with tastes that educate but never overwhelm the palate. The prices make it accessible to all. I really treasure this restaurant. The location is superb, giving an urbane sense of cosmopolitan chic while retaining the connection with pastoral farmlands. The experience of dining there lights one up without any neon flashiness. The reception is heartful without one degree of cool, cold reserve.

Absolutely fantastic food--all four people in my group loved it. And a lot of it made from local sources. The sweet corn risotto, grilled brussels sprouts and chocolate dessert were especially good. Also, an excellent Negroni from the bar.

Our waitress was fantastic. She asked if we were going to the show afterward and when we said yes, she said I'll make sure I get you out of here in plenty of time and she did.

"My family celebrated my husband's birthday at Latitude 41. The goat cheese rasoto was amazing. I had the h Hangar steak with sweet potato gnocchi and it was divine. We also enjoyed a bottle of Klinker Brick old vine Syrah that was lovely."

"We recently visited Latitude 41. Have heard many great reviews so for our anniversary we tried it out. We had believed that the menu would be much more pricy and was pleasantly surprised by the selections choices priced in the mid-teens to low $20's. We opted for a tasting menu of 4 courses with a wine pairing. Total was $50pp. We were amazed my the presentations and flavors. They all were spot on!! Wines while not top end were wonderfully matched with the selctions presented by the Chef."
