To start the evening off, we were a little disheartened to find out that since there was going to be a band playing at The Tavern a little later on in the night, the menu was only certain selections and not a full menu. Then, much to our delight, Chef Mo came to the table to talk with us, and told us that he would be able to cook anything off of the regular menu as well. People always say personal service comes at a great price, and we can tell you that it was priceless to have Chef Mo walk us through the selection process.
When the time came for us to order our meal, Chef Mo again came out to the table to give us some suggestions, and we decided to go with the 16oz Ribeye. Ed was a little bit more hungry, and Chef Mo told us that he can special cut any size of Ribeye we wanted, and Ed was very happy to get a 20oz. Chef Mo was very accomidating, especially in light of a special dinner party that was planned, and really took the time to speak to us and to assist us in making selections throughout the meail
The decor inside The Tavern At Main Street was very updated, pleasant, and modern, and it made guests feel as though Columbus has started to "break the glass ceiling" in the resteraunt world. Our server, Katy, was very friendly and helpful. The food was brought out perfectly on time, and suggestions regarding wine were made by the Chef and our server Katy on pairings with the flavor profiles of the steaks we were about to eat.
For our entrees, we each got a different one, and below you will see how we scored the entrees, and find out the reasons that each of us gave when determining our score.
Ed - 20 oz Ribeye - Ed gave this dish, and the resteraunt as a whole a score of 1 full fork. Ed felt that this was one of the best meals that he has every had, and thought that everything from the appetizers to the end of the meal was very good. Ed believes that the ablility to special order a particular cut of steak that is cut to size and order right on premises is amazing. Ed also felt that for the quality of the meal (a 20oz Ribeye was only $30.00 and came with two sides), the price was perfect.
Deb - 12 oz Ribeye - Deb also gave this dish and resteraunt a score of 1 full fork. Deb felt that from the time in the door to the time that we left, the service was excellent. The food was beyond anything experienced in Columbus thus far. As a transplant that is now here permanently, I am excited about knowing there will be many future visits to this establishment. In today's economy, there are many choices, and it iis nice to have a place that offers top notch service and outstanding quality, all while appreciating your business.
John - 16 oz Ribeye - John's score of 1 full fork for this resteraunt really shows the outstanding service and quality that the Tavern at Main Street really has. John felt that we received impeccable customer service, great food at a great price, and that the Tavern at Main Street is definately a "must-do" for anyone in Columbus
Ryan - 16 oz Ribeye - Ryan gave a score of 1 full fork to the Tavern At Main Street, because the experience was simply amazing. This place was second to none here in the Columbus area (thus far!), the steak was cooked perfectly, and the entire meal was top notch. Ryan did not feel as though there were any flaws in this restearunt from the beginning of the meal to the end.
Overall Score for this Establishment:
*A Perfect Score of 1 Full Fork! This is very difficult to achieve, due to the complexities that must go into the experience, such as customer service, rate at which good arrives at the table, how the food actually tastes, etc. The Tavern at Main Street should be fully commended for their service to this community, and we urge everyone to try it!
