ightly specials just don’t cut it anymore, and two-for-one deals are ho-hum.

In an industry hammered by the recession, restaurants have been compelled to get savvy about wooing customers.

These days, some dining establishments pamper their patrons with wine tastings or live jazz; others

offer discount movie tickets to the theater next door. And many send out mobile messages describing the evening’s fare in luscious terms.

“Anything is up for grabs as far as trying to make it in the industr y right now,” said Mark Glasper, director of communications for the O hio Restaurant Association. “It makes perfect sense during this downturned economy that we’re experimenting.

“Restaurateurs are trying everything they can to stay in business .”

Standard & Poor’s has predicted that 2009 will be the worst y ear in four decades for the industr y, with revenues dropping 1 percent. And with labor, utility and food costs rising, Glasper said, restaurants are getting “punched in the middle.”

The good news for diners: mor e coupons, value menus and earlybird specials. Plus, the failure of

“There are a few things people carr y with them every day: their car keys , their wallet and their phone.This time next y ear, if you operate a restaurant and you’re not involved in (social-network marketing), you will be behind the eight-ball big.”

KEVIN MOLL National Restaurant Consultants connect with customers via Twitter feeds (mobile messages).

Black Creek Bistro, for example, Tweets 250 of its customers in late afternoon, just as stomachs start to rumble for dinner: “$10 special is grilled veggies right from the farm — eggplant, squash, tomato with risotto Milanese and assorted chili pastes.” Ted’s Montana Grill advertises its “Eat Great for $8” lunch specials

via the micro-blogging service.

Even fast-food restaurants plug deals via customers’ hand-held devices. Taco Bell offers free mobile applications that can be downloaded into Shaker iPhones: Users enter how much spare change they have, jiggle the phone, and a series of tabs roll like a slot machine to reveal the food combinations they can buy.

The bulletins alert cus-

tomers right when — and where —it counts, said Kevin Moll, CEO of National Restaurant Consultants.

“There are a few things people carry with them every day: their car keys, their wallet and their phone,” he said. “This time next year, if you operate a restaurant and you’re not involved in (social-network marketing), you will be behind the eight-ball big.”

Such elaborate tactics are necessary, analysts say, because discounts alone don’t generate enough dough— and sometimes, the markdowns even lose money.

“Three to six months ago, because of declining traffic, (some) restaurants were putting out promos that made sense to the consumer but did not make sense to the chief financial officers,” Moll said.

“Midrange chains were doing deep discounting, food promos — which in many cases have backfired,” he said.

“They generate more foot traffic, but they don’t pay the bills. . . . You can’t sell a salmon fillet for $5 at dinnertime and make any money.”

Many value menus have been repackaged to include fewer items. Fine-dining restaurants such as the Refectory have removed pricey menu items such as caviar and foie gras, said owner Kamal Boulos. Like many fine- and casual-dining establishments, the Refectory has expanded its fixedprice offerings. (The restaurant’s bistro menu features an appetizer, an entree and a dessert for $24.)

Many menus have been reworked, too, to feature comfort food that is sure to sell, such as Third and Hollywood’s cheddar-herb biscuits or Spagio’s oven-roasted chicken.

“They’re ‘approachable’ foods,” Moll said. “People understand them. . . . G reat food done naturally is a sizable trend that’s going to grow.”

Even if people’s dining-out budgets don’t.

central Ohio restaurants ranging from high-end steakhouses (Morton’s the Steakhouse) to quick-serve Mexican eateries (Baja Fresh Mexican Grill), has left surviving establishments to retool — beyond offering discounts.

Some, for example, are sweetening deals with entertainment.

On Monday nights, Due Amici serves up live jazz and half-price bottles of wine.

Chains such as seafood purveyor McCormick & Schmick’s and soda shop Johnny Rockets have partnered with nearby movie theaters to offer discount tickets. And Subway makes available $5 Live Nation concert tickets to customers who buy footlong sandwiches.

The Reel to Reel program at McCormick and Schmick’s — offering movie tickets to diners for $5 through September — is geared to datenight couples who want to take in a flick after dinner, Chief Executive Officer Bill Freeman said.

“Not only has the consumer reaction been phenomenal, but the number of tickets week in and week out has increased throughout the country,” he said, “which means people are getting into a pattern of coming in and finding that the dining experience with the movie . . . is a great value.”

Restaurants also have jazzed up their marketing, relying heavily on social networking to advertise specials. Facebook walls have become the new restaurant menu boards.

Pei Wei Asian Diner used its wall recently to kick off its new beef Ramen dish; patrons who take in storebought Ramen noodles get the entree half-price. (The noodles collected will be donated to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.) Chick-fil-A, which has more than a million Facebook fans, used its site to promote the restaurant’s Labor Day sandwich giveaway.

L’Antibe’s small-and-intimate size made it easier to manage thr ough difficult periods, says chef M att Litzinger.

Weathering the storm Many fine-dining establishments outlast difficult times

By Bill Chronister THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

T

alk of recession-born trouble for fine-dining restaurants might have been exaggerated, many central Ohio owners and chefs say. ¶ But the downturn certainly had an effect — especially dur ing the first half of the y ear. ¶ The most noteworthy casualty, perhaps, came in June when Handke’s Cuisine in the Brewery District went out of business. The venerable restaurant headed by Hartmut Handke for 18 years closed after less than a y ear under new ownership.

Overall, though, finedining chefs and owners say they’re getting by — or even doing better than that now.

“We read and hear every single day about how restaurants are struggling, but we’re doing great,” said Erin Chittum, executive chef at M at Miranova. “We have a new menu, we’ve been doing a lot of special functions, and we’ve seen a lot of gr eat results from our marketing efforts.”

Dennis Lombardi, executive vice president for foodservice concepts at Dublin consultancy WD Partners, said the challenges for highend restaurants center on the decline of two major customer groups: “aspirational diners” (who pay out of their own pocket and dine on special occasions) and travel and convention consumers (usually business travelers).

“Those two add up to a lot fewer cloth napkins being folded at fine-dining restaurants,” Lombardi said.

Bill Fenner, a professor emeritus in the veterinary school at Ohio State University, has watched the pace of diners ebb and flow from his favorite seats at L’Antibes in the Short North and Sage American Bistro near the Clintonville neighborhood.

Some weeknights in midsummer, he recalled, he was the only diner in L’Antibes.

“I understand what has been happening on a personal level, because the income of so many veterinarians is dependent on caseload; and if pet owners aren’t able to spend on their pets, veterinarians aren’t going to be eating out.”

Likewise, he said, other diners were apparently feeling the same squeeze.

The scene has changed in the past month, though, Fenner said. He was pleased when he visited L’Antibes without a reservation recently and was told that he might not get his usual table.

“They were slammed, and I was OK with that.”

Chef Matt Litzinger said

“It’s the same attention to detail and the same quality of ingredients, but it’s a nosh and tidbits and things people can share and snack on at the bar — a v ery casual way of dining.”

Despite the economy, some restaurants have flourished.

Kevin Bertschi, co-owner and operator of Alana’s Food & Wine, said his business has increased each year over the previous one — despite the added challenge of roadwork on N. High Street.

“There’s been a significant amount of construction, but neither it nor the recession has had much effect,” he said.

DeepWood, which opened on N. High Street across from the Greater Columbus Convention Center in June 2008, has seen steadily increasing numbers, according to co-owners Brian Pawlak and Amber Herron.

To help it along, Pawlak said, the duo started with a

bilevel approach — a lowerpriced tavern in the front and more-upscale dining room in the back.

“The recession has had an impact, slowing the speed with which our name has gotten out there,” Pawlak said. “But it’s picking up.

People are starting to know our name and what we do here.”

At the Refectory, Kamal Boulos said fine-dining will always have a place but that he and other establishment owners “just need to be more sensitive” to people’s financial situations.

To boost his business, Boulos expanded his earlyevening “bistro” menu and extended it through the weekend and started marketing via Twitter and Facebook.

“The first six months of this year, receipts were down 2 percent,” he said.

“But it’s looking better now.” bchronister@ dispatch.com

Central Ohio’s cream of the crop

By Jon Christensen FOR THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

T

he economy has taken a toll on fine dining, but central Ohioans haven’t given up on such splurges.

Some diners are finding ways to spend less, whether it be skipping appetizers, ordering salads instead of entrees, sharing entrees, making a meal of several shared small plates or forgoing desserts.

Restaurants, in turn, have responded by offering extra values, such as fixed-price meals, half-portions and more pasta dishes.

The most-notable change since our Top 20 list in May has been the shuttering of Handke’s Cuisine. (Also off the list is Rosendales, what with founding chef Richard Rosendale recently departed to become executive chef at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. Rosendales remains open and will be reassessed once the new chefs have settled in.)

Another noteworthy change: The Dispatch has narrowed this guide to the 10 best restaurants in central Ohio, instead of our traditional top 10 plus 10 “next tier” establishments.

Like any other such rating, ours is subjective.

The No. 1 criterion is food quality. Value, surroundings and level of service also are taken into consideration — as are factors such as the willingness to take reservations, noise level, menu variety and attention to details (quality of the bread, olive oil and butter, for example).

Visits to restaurants are unannounced. The selection of establishments to be evaluated is at this reviewer’s discretion, with meals paid in full by The Dispatch.

The area’s 10 best, in alphabetical order:

614-22 1-5602 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED

614-298-9986 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED

WWW.BARCELONA COLUMBUS.COM Barcelona’s busy, noisy, remodeled Victorian dining room and gorgeous smoke-free garden setting are wellserved by a professional staff.

Executive chef Paul Yow put Spanish food on the map in Columbus, and he has recently introduced a more Catalan-focused menu (tuna with smoked paprika and fennel, rib-eye served Basque-style with a sweet red-pepper sauce) while continuing to offer more diverse paellas than anyplace else. Yow also presents an outstanding seafood stew (zarzuela).

Pastry chef Hae Ran Yow is in charge of Spanish desserts such as a half-pineapple with a caramelized coating and Catalan custard sauce.

The wine list has many food-friendly choices (unfortunately, many at high markups) with Spanish selections expected to increase next month.

Serving lunch Monday through Friday, dinner daily; off-street and valet parking.

WWW.DEEPWOOD RESTAURANT.COM Remodeled into two pleasantly divided areas replete with various woods, DeepWood is comfortable, with no feeling of crowding or excess noise.

Chef Brian Pawlak’s New American menu is full of pleasant twists, from first courses (scallops Wellington) to main dishes (fresh, potato-crusted fish roasted over succotash; poached lobster with house-made orecchiette pasta).

Desserts get plenty of attention, too: Consider a classy take on spumoni (malted chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams with pistachio brittle); coconut tapioca brulee; house-made doughnuts; and a dizzying variety of excellent house-made ice creams and sorbets.

DeepWood’s lengthy wine list has many top-notch selections at prices less greedy than most.

Serving lunch Tuesday-Friday, dinner Monday-Saturday; on-street and valet parking.

WWW.DRAGONFLYNEOV.COM Vegan cuisine is prepared to the highest standards in a whimsically decorated, high-ceiling Victorian setting. The seasonal menu offers amazingly diverse ingredients, including mushrooms more exotic than any other restaurant’s (hon- shimeji mushrooms “calamari-style”).

Chef/owner Magdiale Wolmark makes just about everything here. (Where else could you enjoy creme brulee made without eggs or cream?) So it’s no surprise that even the bow-tie pasta is handmade and that it’s topped with a sauce made with tomatoes and eggplant harvested from the garden behind the restaurant.

The garden also yields ingredients for gazpacho made with borage flowers and shiso leaf. The menu is truly an eclectic collection made without meat, seafood, eggs or dairy products.

Pastry chef Allison Green produces a list of desser ts that changes daily. A specialty: house-made sorbets.

The interesting wine list favors organic and unsulfured wines and is designed to complement the food. During good weather, consider the chef ’s table and other outdoor seating.

Serving dinner Tuesday through Saturday, brunch Saturday; on-street parking.

Kihachi Japanese Restaurant 2667 FEDERATED BLVD., NORTHWEST SIDE 614-764-9040 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED Set in a suburban-style strip mall, Kihachi has little street presence and is simply decorated and small.

Still, it is no ordinary Japanese restaurant.

Chef/owner Ryuji “Mike” Kimura is passionate about high-quality, fresh ingredients — evident in the appetizers, which change daily based on his discoveries at the markets he frequents every day. Written entirely in Japanese, the appetizer menu is cheerfully translated by the two Englishspeaking servers.

The printed menu (with translations) includes a number of Japanese standards, such as sushi and tempura. The best advice is to order primarily from the appetizer menu and then opt for something unfamiliar from the main menu.

Another option: Put yourself into Kimura’s hands for the comprehensive omakase dinner. Be prepared for a leisurely pace; this is the opposite of a fast-food operation.

The wine list is per functory and not worthy of the food’s high standards.

Serving dinner Monday through Saturday; ample parking.

2 MIRANOVA PLACE, MIRANOVA CORPORAE TOWER, DOWNTOWN 614-629-0000 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED

WWW.LINDEYS.COM The original — and still the leading — destination restaurant in German Village, Lindey’s is bustling, from its high-energy bar on the main floor to the homey but well-appointed dining areas scattered throughout this one-time residence.

Chef Jon O’Carroll’s passion for seasonal produce is reflected in his appetizer and entree specials. The lengthy menu has a variety of offerings — from one of the better cheese plates among the tried-and-true appetizers to steaks, fresh fish and chops (the famous veal chop, crusted and sauteed in olive oil and butter).

Pastas are also noteworthy (owner Sue Doody’s pasta primavera made with house-made egg fettuccine, seasonal vegetables topped with creme fraiche and pesto sauce) as well as designer pizzas.

There’s plenty to like about O’Carroll’s desserts as well (the tarte Tatin still has more apples than even the tallest pie).

The wine list covers a lot of territory, with plenty of food-friendly selections, often reasonably priced.

The outdoor-dining venue is one of the most elegant in town.

Serving lunch and dinner daily, Saturday and Sunday brunch; limited on-street parking and valet parking.

WWW.MATMIRANOVA.COM New executive chef Erin Chittum is revitalizing the mostly American menu at M, the showcase restaurant of the Cameron Mitchell organization.

The new offerings, although organized in much the same way as the previous menu, reflect Chittum’s touches (white tuna with peas and wild mushrooms finished in a lobster sauce).

The freshness of the sushi lineup remains exceptional, and steaks now come with a choice of sauces, including bearnaise, green peppercorn and bordelaise.

The elaborate and elegant decor boasts some lighting changes throughout the evening.

Servers are knowledgeable and attentive.

The expensive wine list is not lengthy but covers a range of the wine world.

Serving dinner Monday through Saturday; valet parking.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009

The Refectory Restaurant & Bistro 1092 BETHEL RD., NORTHWEST SIDE 614-45 1-9774 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED WWW.THEREFECTORY RESTAURANT.COM The converted brick church provides an upscale and romantic setting; the well-staffed service is as accomplished as the classic French cooking of Lyon native Richard Blondin.

His extensive menu is loaded with carefully prepared dishes.

Starters can include a chilled tomato veloute with shrimp and cucumber, a filet-bean salad, salmon three ways and a chilled omelet with asparagus and portobello mushrooms.

Bison and ostrich are featured, and conventional meats are given careful treatments: The filet is complemented by a cardamom-seasoned sauce; the duck breast is cooked with lemon and rosemary and finished with a black-cherry red wine sauce.

The world-class wine cellar of sommelier Jeff Elasky — more than 10,000 bottles — deserves mention (and is not as expensive as most lesser lists).

Desserts aren’t neglected, either. Consider frozen Chartreuse-pistachio souffle; house-made sorbets with fresh fruit; and raspberry silk cake, multilayered with almond dacquoise, raspberry gelee, white-chocolate Bavarian cream and hazelnuts.

The bar area has a bistro menu of three courses (that changes weekly) for $23.95.

Serving dinner Monday through Saturday; ample parking.

WWW.RIGSBYSKITCHEN.COM Kent Rigsby’s Italianstaged meals can begin with consistently excellent pastas (house-made herb ravioli filled with four cheeses and presented with a browned butter sauce, fresh pasta with an intense seafood sauce), gnocchi and risottos (a farro risotto with seasonal vegetables is unique in town, and the mushroom risotto is sumptuous with chicken and lively with Marsala).

Fresh fish and meats are prepared primarily Mediterranean-style (fresh cod roasted at a high temperature then given a pungent oliveand-fennel finish; natural pork pounded thin, cooked scaloppine-style and finished with a porcini-Marsala-juniper sauce).

Appetizers are noteworthy: ahi tuna with grappa served with avocado aioli; oysters fried as a perfect accompaniment to crisp-fried Japanese eggplant.

The new dessert list, almost entirely housemade, includes unusual items such as budino, a type of butterscotch creme brulee, and vacherin, with layers of ice cream and meringue is enough for two or more people.

The wide-ranging wine list includes good buys.

The black-and-white setting is dramatic.

Serving lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday; on-street and valet parking.

614-486- 1114 RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED WWW.SPAGIO.COM Rustic, flavorful offerings (a well-presented charcuterie plate of three house-made pates; Alsatian flammekueche oven-roasted on a superthin crust) are highlighted at this venerable restaurant.

There’s also a lot of imagination, so the vegetable plate is not just a collection of what’s in the larder. Rather, it’s a light terrine of eggplant and summer squashes that rests on a bed of polenta and Asiago.

Then there’s the new pork-belly entree, the meat slow-roasted and given a terrific meat reduction over polenta and grits.

Owner-chef Hubert Seifert’s kitchen comforts without excess fat, sugar or salt.

The moderately lengthy wine list includes a number of food-friendly selections (at unfriendly markups), supplemented by the vast selection of the adjacent wine shop.

Serving lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, Saturday and Sunday brunch; off-street and on-street parking.

WWW.WORTHINGTONINN.COM In this carefully restored 19th-century inn with its relaxing dining rooms, chef Thomas Smith emphasizes fresh ingredients (and grows some of them), which find their way into more than the main courses.

Local heirloom tomatoes are featured not only in the tomato salad but also in the gazpacho.

Lake Erie Creamery goat cheese is served in the house salad as well as on the bruschetta. And, local basil is used in the pesto for the house-made gnocchi.

Specific local producers supply the chicken (an entree with buttermilk mashed potatoes) as well as ingredients in the pungently excellent spaghetti Cassandra and the pork (with corn pudding and Swiss chard).

Desserts include firstrate house-made sorbets and ice creams, in addition to American influences such as creme brulee with chocolate malt and a rhubarb spice cake.

The wine list has been expanding the past few years, with commendable results where drinkability and variety are concerned. A few of the selections are relative bargains.
