Adventure 4: Schmidt's Restaurant Und Sausage Haus

Schmidt's Restaurant & Sausage Haus
German Village
240 E. Kossuth St.
Columbus, OH 43216
614.444.6808

Schmidt's ranks as one of the favorites for all the boys in the group, but really, what could be better than an all you can eat Sausage buffet?! This place has a great German flare and the food and the beer are deliciously authentic. Arrive early if visiting during dinner time as this place does not take reservations and the bar is teeny tiny.

Adventure 3: Hoover Grille

Hoover Grille
170 N Sunbury Rd
Westerville, Ohio 43081

The atmosphere at this restaurant was top notch. The bar was very elegantly modern and the views of the Hoover Reservoir were amazing. Even in the winter we enjoyed looking out the huge windows that overlooked the reservoir. (We would suggest trying the patio in the warmer weather.) The food was fabulous with top praise going to the Sausage Penne Diablo and the Top Sirloin.

Adventure 2: Amazon Grill Steak House

Amazon Grill Steak House
245 East Campus View Boulevard
Worthington, OH
614.431.9100

Bring your appetite if you plan on trying out the Amazon Grill. While the meat was delicious and endless, the salad bar really left something to be desired if you were looking for something to compliment the meat. In comparison to other Brazilian style steak houses, like Brasa in Cleveland, this one falls a bit short. But it is decently priced, and if you are looking for a night filled with meat gluttony this is your place.

PS... Call ahead before trying this place out. We were told it was days away from closing when we went.

Adventure 1: Bexley Monk

For our first dining adventure the Bexley Monk was a great pick. The atmosphere was interesting with a piano player and an upscale vintage decor. Food was decent and appropriately priced. Dinner was aproximately $70 per couple, including appetizers and a bottle of wine.
