A self-description from the Web site includes: Located in downtown Columbus, just steps from Columbus City Center Mall, the State Capital Building, and short drive from Columbus’ hottest neighborhoods, Brownstone on Main opened to rave reviews and is poised to change the paradigm for dining and entertainment in Columbus, Ohio. The restaurant, situated on three levels, showcases what the best of brownstone living is: intimate spaces, exposed brick walls, expressive lighting themes, and great art. The menu, carefully crafted to include Southern favorites such as flavorful Farm Raised Fried Catfish, and sweet and sticky BBQ Ribs, has been dubbed “Contemporary Southern Cuisine”. It offers traditional dinner entrées such as pan seared scallops, as well as subtly spiced Cajun Duck breast.

Benton ; When Out On Main closed, the center city bemoaned the loss of one of its valued own—fine downtown dining with a creative flair extending beyond preparations of steak. Rigsby’s on-again, off-again “Market District” startup seems to be permanently off again (at least the “coming soon” signs have vanished), making this courtroom corner of Columbus very restaurant challenged. Enter a forward-thinking collection of investors keen on the potential for transforming the former Out On Main location into what they call “upscale urban dining and entertainment.” The result, Brownstone On Main, opened earlier this summer after an extensive design overhaul. The played-Out On Main makeover has resulted in a warm and inviting space with lots of exposed brick, faux Rothko color-swatch paintings and lush, earth-toned fabrics. The place is big, too. There’s a paint-the-downtown-red basement jazz club (appetizers are served), a first-floor granite bar (full menu), a large, comfortable dining room, plus a bonus upstairs dining/lounge area for private parties. - suggest change Soul food goes gourmet - Cuisine invented by slaves is fueling some of the hottest restaurants (and foodie travel destinations) in the nation - MS-NBC / Associated Press Article, By Carrie Spencer, 8 September 2004; COLUMBUS, Ohio - Specially commissioned abstract art is on the wall, jazz on the sound system, white linen on the tables and Dom Perignon ($190 a bottle) on the wine list. On the menu, below the stuffed portobello-mushroom appetizer and pan-seared scallops, are deep-fried catfish, collard and mustard greens, and macaroni and cheese. Don't forget the cobbler or sweet potato pie. Soul food has gone gourmet. Brownstone on Main, just blocks from the Statehouse and downtown theaters, about a year ago and was named one of the five best new restaurants of the year by the city magazine Columbus Monthly. Downtown attorneys meet clients over lunch, jazz fans watch bands from cushioned benches, and doctors leaving late-night shifts at a nearby hospital can get dinner from a kitchen open past midnight. “No, this is not the food my grandmother makes. It's just very good food,” said Danni Palmore, a political consultant and community organizer. Palmore lives downtown and likes the restaurant's convenient location and quick service for meetings, she said over lunch on a recent weekday. . . “What's happening in the last five to 10 years is Southern food is getting the respect it deserves,” said Jeff Gillian, who started Brownstone with fellow Columbus music promoter Greg Provo. . . - suggest change Show 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 reviews on each page Lot's of Character!
