Columbus Inn American Restaurant ·$$

With mentions dating back to the 18th Century, the space housing the Columbus Inn has a rich history. And with it's restoration and reopening in 2010, the owners have succeeded at not only updating it to a modern establishment that holds relevance today, but also bringing some of its glory back. A lesson in history, however, is not a requisite to having a good time at the Columbus Inn. On offer is a superb selection of contemporary American fare that changes with the seasons and a drinks list that shuffles flawlessly between the old world and new. From ancient concoctions and classics to modern takes, there's a fair bit of variety here and it won't hurt to try a little from every era. The interiors feature plenty of old-style wooden touches and some great lighting choices for a warm atmosphere. The contemporary seating choices provide a nice contrast. There is a choice of private rooms if you're looking for group dining or private parties. Check website for more.

I honestly cannot say that I've ever had a bad meal or experience here, so it's always 5 stars to me. I've not been to Happy Hour in years but a friend and I went after ending our business day on...

I grew up nearby but somehow never visited Columbus Inn until last month! My brother had his rehearsal dinner here and the private room was a great space for an event of about 50 people. I had...

Great spot. Busier than expected for a weekday dinner time. Warm and cozy atmosphere with beautiful hardwood floors and a fireplace. Started with Brussel sprouts, gnocchi (soft and delicious)....
