This used to be an innovative restaurant. Now it's predictable and average at best. There is yet again a new chef, and the menu changed a few days ago. It's small with few interesting choices. The chicken entree was one tiny piece of bone-in chicken that would be appropriately sized for an 8 year old. The promised sauce was missing as well. The mushroom pizza was fine, but not as special as it used to be. Even though we have been dining here on and off for many years, I don't think we will return. read more

Wow, I had a great meal tonight at Latitude 41. I started with the fried pork belly appetizer with sliced pickled beets and mushroom topping (delicious) and my main was a perfectly cooked 14oz Ribeye steak with fingerling potatoes and broccoli. The waitress suggested a very nice Cabernet that was prefect with the meal. I couldn't decide between the home made Lemoncello Pane Cotta or the Apple Bread Pudding using locally sourced baked-in apples for dessert so she brought both which were amazing but I finished with the Pane Cotta that had a blueberry w/anise drizzle with delicate mint leaves that is one of the best desserts I've had. They said this was made with a year old batch of homemade Lemoncello. The chef visited several tables checking on customers, making recommendations and positivity engaging customers. I highly recommend. read more

7/2007 Once the server gave us a 20 minute 'overview' of the menu, we had a tough time deciding between all of the seemigly delicious dishes that were offered. We were flattered that he spent so much time with us - he seemed to be the host, bartender, water filler AND the server for everyone in the restaurant. Everyone loved their food - seafood, salads, pasta, flatbreads. My only criticism is the lack of subtlety. It was made clear to us from the beginning that Latitude 41 was no longer a hotel restaurant (despite the billing that included room charges:-) and our server used the phrase "as an upscale restaurant" multiple times. We must have seemed fairly country to him... read more

A delightful, delicious meal tonight at Latitude. Our meal consisted of a shared wild mushroom flat bread pizza and wilted spinach salad; the smoked tuna salad pita; the Juicy Lucy; and a side of hand cut fries. All were perfectly delicious. It was fun to see everyone around us enjoying their selections as much. Seated outdoors, the evening could not have been more perfect. The wait staff was lovely as was the chef who came to greet/meet us. It's the kind of place you'd want to take guests.. read more

Amazing food and service! My husband and I love trying new places, and after seeing the pictures, we couldn't resist trying Latitude 41. We actually decided to order carryout and had the caesar salad, lobster mac & cheese, goat cheese & fig pizza, and mushroom risotto. Everything was delicious. However, I was most impressed with the service. We ordered a dessert and realized when we got home that we didn't receive it. As we were enjoying dinner, the hostess actually called me to tell me that they realized the error. She was extremely nice and very apologetic. We didn't want to go back to get it, so they actually gave us a credit for next time! :) read more

We were staying at the hotel, and the weather was not great. So we decided to stay in and try Latitude 41. We were promptly and courteously greeted at the host stand, asked if we had reservations (no), and seated immediately. Our server was quick to show up and take our drink order and retrieve them. He was also very good at refilling our soft drinks during the course of our meal. My dining companion and I ordered The Latitude Burger ($7), the Lobster Mac & Cheese ($15), and the Sea Salt Chips with some kind of feta dip ($4). We asked the server if we wanted a pink center, how should we have it cooked? Medium. The burger tasted good, but it was definitely not medium. I would call it well done. There was no pink in it whatsoever. My companion wanted to send it back, but I am one that doesn't like to do that. So we just ate it...we both still agreed that it tasted good. When they sat down the Lobster Mac & Cheese, I almost started laughing. The plate/bowl was huge with this little scoop of Mac & Cheese in the middle. It was very good tasting, but I definitely did not think it was worth the $15. On the other hand, I thought the burger at $7 was an excellent value. The chips and dip were nothing to write home about. It was kind of a hard dip and most of the time the chip broke when trying to get dip on it. Would I eat here again? Yes, but I would not order the Lobster Mac & Cheese. ***UPDATE*** I just was looking at their website and realized that the Lobster Mac & Cheese is under the "Share and Small Plates" section. I didn't realize that on the menu when I was there and ordered it. So that makes the portion size make sense. But I still don't think it's worth $15. read more

Bland food. Three of us ate there and fought over the salt shaker. We had three different dishes. I will never go back. Completely flavorless. read more

I wasn't impressed for the prices. I only had breakfast though, so maybe its way different at later times. Service was .. meh... food was .. meh... so I won't be back unless I'm staying at the hotel. read more

Okay, so I stay at this hotel every week. I travel weekly to Columbus, OH and I just have to say that it's not freakin spectactular!! It's alright, but not the best restaurant downtown! read more

only had drinks here so this will be short. Bar staff were friendly and quick. had two boulvedaiers. nice open layout . If I was in the area I would stop by again for a drink. read more

I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel last week and had already yelped places to eat b/c I didn't want to pay ridiculous prices for hotel restaurant food. What a surprise when I opened the room service menu. After looking at the prices I thought that the food must be a reflection. Wrong! I had several dishes, including sandwiches (the fries have some sort of wonderful seasoning on them) and a lobster n mac for dinner which was so VERY tasty. The sides were great also. I would have given it 5 stars had I not gone down for take out one day for lunch. The wait was extremely long--and this was after leaving my workshop a little early so I could beat the lunch rush--so hardly anyone was there---yet. I was ordering the tasty sandwich I had delivered up to my room the day before so I figured I'd be in and out because it's a sandwich, right? Wrong. I must have waited for almost 20 minutes for a sandwich that required no cooked meat and fries and when I got upstairs to my room with it, they had forgotten the avocado which i LOVE. It was crazy b/c I was telling the person who took my order that one of the main reasons for ordering that sandwich was the avocado. I called downstairs and they sent someone up right away with sliced avocado, but after the long wait and then leaving out a key advertised ingredient, was a big no no. Everyone is polite, but skills are definitely lacking in the service area. With this in mind, remember, the food is absolutely delicious and the prices are extremely low compared to similar restaurants. read more

This is a fun place to eat outside and enjoy a city feel. The food and drinks are good. We came for our 1-month wedding anniversary. We sat outside on the couches which was comfortable and relaxing. We ordered a few of the tapas which were all good. read more

Place is typical hotel restaurant. Ordered lobster mac and cheese, side of spinach. Don't be fooled by the portion size of the mac and cheese. I was full when I was done. There was a lot of lobster meat. But here is the problem, it was all claw meat, wish it was tail or a mix, and also cut up. There was also way too much truffle oil, too powerful for my liking. Good thing I didnt get truffle fries or Ill have a truffle overload. The spinach was good, but it was a bit on the salty side. Also ordered Bell's brown porter, yum. Got the dark chocolate, vanilla bean and goat cheese ice cream for dessert. I think the goat cheese was the best really, trust me. Brent was a good server, but my pet peeve is when servers are scripted and does not do any chit chat. So if it wasn't for dessert and beer, I would've rated 3 stars. read more

Walked in at 6:15 pm on Monday 5/14/12 to sit at the bar for a drink and have a bite. There was no one to greet me and my coworker, no one behind the bar, and no stools at the bar. Needless to say I did not have drink or bite and walked back out. The only reason they got 2 stars is because the guys at the hotel bar that Latitude is located inside of were nice and had stools to sit at. read more

Had a salad with salmon. Was under dressed and fish was over cooked. Not bad but could have been better. Server was nice and ambience is warm. It's in a hotel so was about what I expected. read more

I always enjoy Latitude 41 and yesterday's lunch was no exception. We both had the pumpkin soup and spinach salad. I asked for bacon to be added to my salad--mmmm...bacon--which wasn't the way it was offered on the menu. Love looking at the beautiful two-tone wood floors and eating the fresh local food. read more

I love taking clients here for lunch. It's quiet, great food and service. This is a quiet place to have lunch. A rarity today, it seems.

Amazing Bluescreek Italian burger. Creative, tasty and unique. Kathleen, the Bartender was a sweetie. Very engaging. :-)

Curb appeal - Loved the look of this place but ... desserts are not their specialty. Stopped in for dessert and coffee. Strong coffee (bitter), carrot cake was an over cooked "raisin" muffin (burnt top and bottom). The apple bread pudding was acceptable. Not feeling a need to go back to try anything else. read more

What can i say. Wow this place is top in downtown cbus!!! I had a blast and i am planning my birthday party to invite my family and friends here!!! read more

We used our Faveroo for a first-time outing. Wow! Double wow! Great food - great service! We sat on the patio, ordered from the small-plates menu and had a nice glass of "big, bold red" and a Henrick's and tonic, which comes with cukes! Don't miss the stuffed dates. Maybe OK to miss the homemade potato chips with feta dip. read more

Ate here for Valentines Day and I thought it was great, and I'll be going back. Everything we ordered was very good and the service was excellent. If you are looking for HUGE portions, this is not the place for you. The chef here is obviously very talented! read more

I've eaten here twice. One meal, fish & chips, was excellent. The other, Shepard's pie, was strangely flavored and just fair at best. Staff was friendly and efficient if a bit pretentious for downtown Columbus OH. read more

I was in town for a meeting and ordered a cheese burger. The fries came raw and the burger was way below average. Since we were in a rush I didn't bother to send it back -- do yourself a favor and skip the burger if you happen to be eating here. read more

My very first visit. The atmosphere is modern and clean. Not many patrons. But it was Monday. The menu is limited however everything made fresh. I tried the pepperoni pizza. I enjoyed it. But the patron at the next table returned his food. He had octopus. He said it was soggy and salty. The wait staff are polite and appropriately familiar (none of that "how ya doin', sugah" crap). read more

Extremely dissatisfied! The Cheeseburger I ordered was black, over cooked for well done and dry. The French Fries were cold and it took over 45mins to get our order, oh and it was $14 for this mess of "food". We went there for lunch during work day and was not back with in an hour. Our company uses this hotel for our business travel, and some happy hour events. I will suggest to our management to forgo using them since there are many other options in the area. read more

I went here with my boyfriend for a weekend date. It wasn't overly busy, and we were seated quickly. The atmosphere is okay, feels like your in the hotel restaurant... But the food was pretty good. The homemade chips were delicious and I definitely recommend them. My boyfriend tried the roasted duck and I had walleye with mussels. Both entrées were great. The waitress was also super knowledgable about the specialty beers which is a plus. read more

We went on a Monday night so not busy. Smoked squash soup was way over smoked and served with Zesta saltines in cellophane. Not exactly farm to table. Autumn salad was nice. We had 2 servers for a party of 12. Food took forever. One of our party didn't get served for nearly an hour. No drink refills. Don't go. Columbus has much better restaurants. read more

Food was delicious...we had mushroom risotto and lobster Mac and cheese. Big portions so we had lunch the next day also. Only downsides for us was the martinis we had were not full the glass was small and it was only half full. For $10 a drink I expect a full glass. The place is pricey also. And not many vegetarian options read more

I tried a variety of items here, gazpacho, wings confit, goat cheese polenta...YUM! I will come back to try desserts and the whole latte love coffee cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the service. read more

I recently dined here with a group of about 15 people. The hanger steak was cooked properly, nice and rare on the inside. The truffle oil fries were very tasty, admittedly I have nothing to compare them to as it was my first experience with them. Portion size was perhaps a bit small, but left me feeling satisfied. The service was friendly, but when it came time to split the bill, the server told us last time it took her almost two hours to do it between waiting on the other patrons! Perhaps she was trying to get us to figure it out amongst ourselves, but why should we? Ultimately it took about 40 minutes to get the check. The manager jumped in and covered her tables so she could focus on it, after we complained. It was not a busy night. Time for management to upgrade their software! read more

This place sucks, all the way from grilled chicken salads, to turkey clubs. Their catsup tastes like BBQ sauce, tomatos are white an avocado is rotten. read more

The most exquisite meal I've ever had! The staff was friendly and playful. The menu is reflected upon seasonal items which keeps it new and fresh and keeps you wanting more! Brent was our server and an absolute delight! He was informed on the menu especially when it came to dessert! read more

We were here for my friends birthday dinner. We waited too long for our meal, food was good. Don't go for smaller plates you won't be happy.

I was in Columbus for the weekend with a group of family members; knowing it was homecoming weekend for Ohio State, we decided to go to this restaurant inside the Renaissance hotel. We figured we wouldn't get a reservation for a group elsewhere and would be able to eat relatively quickly at the hotel. Thinking this would be a place that could accommodate more people quickly since the restaurant was basically empty was a huge mistake. We were seated and the we ordered relatively quickly. We were a group of over 10, but there was only one other table occupied in the restaurant. We waited over 30 minutes for our food before we began asking the waitress what the hold up was. She said that we had ordered at the same time as the ONE other table and that's why it was taking so long. There were at least 20 empty tables... what happens when the restaurant is actually at capacity? Our waitress came out with soups which were pre-made but somehow took 30 mins to be ladled into a bowl. We spoke to the manager and he made the same excuses not being accommodating at all. Finally we got our food after almost an hour of waiting and it was not worth it. The broccolini was cold and the pizza was doughy and undercooked. Usually when you're starving from waiting and you get food it tastes even better, but that was not the case. It was not good at all... the best way to describe it would be extremely average or even below average. The best the manager offered to do was take off the broccolini which no one ate since it was cold and our $4 starter of fries out of a $400+ bill. It was ridiculous and not professional. We will never go back again when we are in Columbus next and I strongly recommend not even bothering with this place. What a terrible restaurant experience. read more

Worst Mother's Day Brunch, Ever! Our reservations were incorrect, the food was very disappointing, and the manager had more excuses than we could count. The 1st response from the manager was that he had been out of town for several weeks and came back to the "buffet mess". Denny's would have been better....never again! read more

Probably the worst evening out we've had in years. We are professional eater-outers (at least 3-5 times a week) and I was excited by the reviews of this place. When we arrived (after two emails and a phone call from them to confirm my reservation - can you say harassment?) we were seated by the kitchen. Don't sit there. It was not very crowded, maybe half the tables were open. While we waited and waited and waited for our waiter (apparently that's what waiters do at Latitude 41 - make you wait), we watched the sous chef get more and more annoyed that every time he called out Service! nothing happened. Don't feel bad, guy, we can't get service either. Finally a waiter came to take our drink order (I don't like to name names, but it rhymed with Charles) and then we again waited another 10-15 minutes for him to reappear with it and take our appetizer order. The tomato and artichoke spread was excellent - and we decided to shrug off the annoyance and continue our dinner. Both cocktail glasses were empty, but I guess the waiter felt that would save us money? Then the second appetizer arrived - the surf and turf. As soon as it hit the table, I burst out laughing. Five of the TINIEST little neck clams you have ever seen in a bit of broth and one piece of bread with the pork belly on it - $14!!!! Right about that time a server appeared with and presented us a bill - although it wasn't ours, we decided that was an EXCELLENT idea. And now that 45 minutes had already passed, we decided to Google a new restaurant near our location and went for an excellent dinner at Due Amici - right across the street. Great service, excellent food, I highly recommend it. And apparently they get a lot of rollover from Attitude & Overpriced 41... read more

Friend in town to visit so we decided on dinner at hotel she was staying at. Unfortunately, bad choice. Slow, poor service. Orders were mixed. Wrong plates arrived. Timing of food was off (entree arrived before soup/salad). They tried to make it up by zero charge for the soup. Which was nice. However, entrees then arrived back, relatively cold, dry and unflavored.... at that point, we decided to end the overall unpleasant experience and go for dessert elsewhere. read more

I went to Latitude 41 last night for dinner and it was a huge disappointment. Mainly the problem was the service. Our server seemed to be stressed out and had no time to actually give us the attention we felt like we deserved at a higher end restaurant. He came over and took our drink order, then came back to our table to tell me they were out of the gin I requested, then came over to serve my friend his drink (but he still did not have mine). Finally he came over again with my drink and took our food order. It wasn't a bartender who made our drinks like a normal restaurant it was our server! Keep in mind this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant. My friend's drink was poorly made and so he requested to have liquor on the rocks instead. This seemed to upset our server and instead of offering to take that drink away and offer a new or different one he made it clear that my friend would need to pay for both drinks. This guy had an attitude problem and was clearly annoyed by us and did not want to serve us. The food was decent, I order the steak with potatoes and brussel sprouts, however, when it's paired with such lousy service it leaves an overall bad impression. I am so surprised that this restaurants keeps such a grumpy terrible server on their staff. I do not recommend this place at all. It's a poorly run restaurant with inflated prices. If you are going to spend that kind of money, go some place else where they will treat you with respect. read more

Spent a little bit of time here at the bar when my flight was cancelled and had to stay an extra night at the Renaissance Hotel. The bar staff was very friendly. I enjoyed the pear passion bellini which I highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth. read more
