Columbus Restaurant Week – Dine Out With Dine Originals
Posted by CMH Gourmand on March 8, 2009
Dine Originals Columbus is serving the city a Restaurant Week March 9th to 15th.
If you are not familiar with Dine Originals, it is a group of 42 independent restaurants in Central Ohio. During Restaurant Week each restaurant will feature special meals to showcase house specialties with value in mind. Chefs at each of the Dine Originals created a fixed-priced (prie‐fixe) menu at $15 or $30 (which does not include gratuity or tax). Many of these menus can be viewed on the link below. The offerings listed at Alana’s, Basi, Betty’s, Columbus Brewing Company and The Refectory are exceptional deals in my opinion. Restaurant Week menus serve as a fine introduction to these establishments if you have never visited. If you have “dined originally” do so more.
