Thoughts bout our town and food

Ahh...soaking in the sights of Columbus on a day-to-day basis can be well...boring. The restaurant scene is also...boring. If anyone reads this post, let me in on the best restaurants in Columbus (I spent a few years out West) and I'll try to determine just how good they are by evaluating a few areas; seasonality of menu items, chef's reputation, pricing, service, cleanliness, taste, and finally, appearence. So far I have not seen any menu worthwhile (including two Short North locations) of rating as excellent. If you could, let me know something about yourself and why it is that a certain restaurant thrills you because I am a picky S.O.B. Let the quest for best restaurant in Columbus begin.
