Latitude 41

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

Wanted to thank Heather for making sure my Mom who is vegetarian had a great experience on Mother’s Day! We came here for brunch on Mother’s Day unaware that they only had a buffet. The buffet was fabulous but did not have many vegetarian options. We were going to leave but Heather offered to have the chef make a vegetarian entrée which ended up being a asparagus risotto that was delicious.
The buffet had breakfast and lunch choices and omelettes made to order. We all loved the salad and desserts. My son had prime rib which he said was cooked perfectly. They also had green beans, orzo salad, cheesy mashed potatoes and shrimp cocktail. So many choices and so limited stomach space!
They gave all the Moms there a rose at the end of the meal. Will definitely come back again for dinner.

Easter Brunch Buffet, $ 35 for an adult and $ 15 for kids.
Latitude 41 is located inside the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Columbus. There is parking nearby but we opted for valet parking, $ 5 with a restaurant voucher. The hotel is nicely decorated and very modern. The hostess and wait staff were fabulous but the food was ok.
I started out with a mimosa, fairly priced at $ 9. It was delicious but I don’t ever complain about alcohol. Ha. This buffet is not the best I have ever had but not the worst. When I think of brunch I think of having both breakfast and lunch items available. Other than the omelet station and the French toast being available the rest was lunch options. Protein options were ham, grilled chicken, and steak. No seafood available which was a bummer. The sides included macaroni and cheese (very cold and dry!), bean salad, 5 grain salad, house and Caesar salads, green been casserole and a few others I elected out of. The dessert station was small but delectable. Yummy choices like red velvet cake, original cheesecake, fresh fruit, cake pops, mini cupcakes and more. Little bites made me leaving happy but not sure I would return for another brunch. It’s hard to serve hot food for a buffet and most of these options were warm if not cold. Also greater variety would have been nice especially breakfast along with but not limited to more protein options.

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.

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.

Atmosphere– It feels outdated. Something about the fabric on the chair and overall décor/​ambience. There’s potential to freshen it up.
Service– Our server deserves a B. The manager was kind of meh at her job. We ordered a dessert that was supposed to be soft but it came out frozen. Our server told us they were hosting a large party at the hotel. Okay… but frozen dessert?! No excuses. The manager asked if we wanted a buckeye… what?!
Food– We went here for a tasting and it consisted of a seasonal salad, sea bass, bouillabaisse, surf and turf, dessert. We had 8 people and we all ordered the new year tasting. The steak range from well done to medium rare because they didn’t ask how we like them. The fish was good and the rest was okay. Nothing too exciting and presentation needs a little help.

I came here a few months back for restaurant week with the bf and I have no complaints. We chose this place because I saw the huge sign for this restaurant while driving around downtown and have always been curious, plus the name is kind of epic.
We ordered the Philadelphia sour and elderflower collins as our drinks (both were very refreshing), and the latitude caprese and watermelon gazpacho to start. While everything tasted good, the star of the show was definitely the grilled cap steak with potato pave which absolutely blew me away and I’m surprised that this place isn’t more highly acclaimed considering that they make a steak this good. My bouillabaise was also extremely good, and our desserts were the strawberry soup and the coconut panna cotta, which were perfectly refreshing desserts for rounding out a meal without being overly heavy or sweet. Our service was on point too, and I can’t wait to return, perhaps in the summer sometime so that we can sit outdoors and people watch downtown.

I live in San Francisco but was visiting family in Columbus. I wanted to treat my mother and grandmother to a tasting menu and was surprised that this was the only restaurant that offered one!
We were seated right away and ordered the 6 course tasting menu. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. When each dish came out, one of the chefs, including the head chef Ben, would also come to the table and explain the dish to us. I could tell that they enjoyed showing off their cooking skills and they made it a fun experience.
The meal started out with an amuse bouche of oysters, which was then followed by a charcuterie plate. The next dishes consisted of an autumn salad, duck, bone marrow, lamb chops and the most interesting dish, a coconut panna cotta in a bed of cotton candy.
Overall the food was tasty and inventive, especially the bone marrow and the lamb chops. If I have one complaint it was that the meal was so HEAVY. I needed some lighter dishes mixed in with the heavy ones, or at least a palate cleanser.
The food was great, but the best part of the night was the wonderful service. I’m from the Bay Area where restaurants can get rather snooty and there was NONE of that here! Everyone was so friendly and went out of their way to make it a truly memorable experience. So thank you Chef Ben and the rest of the crew! We’ll definitely be back the next time I visit.

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.

Most other reviews are correct. Great atmosphere, great location, good food… but the servers need training on how to facilitate more upscale dining. They were very nice, but more fitting for an Applebee’s or Champs, not the intent of this restaurant.
Biggest complaint was service…

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.

The food is very tasty! I had the pork belly small meal and the chicken with corn and kale something. Very tasteful indeed! I will be back tomorrow night to try something else :)

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.

The service was great however the food was awful! He pork belly was all fat and the wings fell flat. Also no daily additions to the menu was very disappointing. The rooms in the hotel are old and dated! The staff are not what I have come to expect when staying at a marriott property.

Great location and great hotel restaurant! Have had a couple meetings and used the bar and restaurant and all in all a great time. Food is Awesome, had the Latitude burger for lunch and the knocked it out of the park! Going for dinner you must try the Pastrami Cured «Filet» of Ribeye a taste that is unique and my first and won’t be my last! The total experience gets an Oh Yeah! Would have a 5 star but they need to work on the service! All in all a great place for
when traveling in Columbus, OH.

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).

Located inside the Renaissance Hotel, this restaurant is the classic example of a concept in need of proper staff execution. In fairness, the staff is extremely gracious and pleasant, but the training department seemed to have overlooked the kitchen staff.
Looking over the overly trendy menu our lunch order was angus beef burgers ordered medium well (no pink) but they arrived quite rare. Side choices included «fries» but missing from the description was how they arrived, seasoned garlic fries (not the thing you want when later meeting in-​close with a local contact.) In addition, the fries were limp and mushy indicating the oil wasn’t hot enough leading to a greasy finish.
Given the expensive hotel menu prices, if an establishment talks the talk, the staff needs to walk the walk. We decided to eat subsequent meals by walking down the street and dining elsewhere.

Oversized linens and soft opalescent lighting gives just the right amount of ambience to the restaurant. Open concept, and lots of room to navigate the other tables and patrons of the restaurant. Definitely a romantic setting.
The food though was very underwhelming. We split a flatbread pizza, which was actually the best part of the meal. The crust was thin and crunchy and the sauce to toppings ratio was perfect. Along with the shared flatbread I ordered a Caesar salad with no anchovy. The romaine lettuce came out uncut, and dry as a bone with hardly any dressing on it. The croutons were almost inedible bc of their ‘rock-​like’ texture. I had to ask the waitress twice for more dressing just to be able to make it through the salad. Terrible. Entrees ordered were lobster mac and cheese and short rib with polenta. The short rib had absolutely no flavor and was completely dry. The polenta was dreadfully overcooked and stuck together completely. The Mac and Cheese wasn’t bad, but for the price could have really used more lobster than was actually in the dish.
For a median price and being in a swanky hotel in downtown Columbus, I definitely expected more. If you’re thinking of trying it bc of its convenience to the guests of the hotel, make the one block north trek to the far superior Due Amici.

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.

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.

I found this restaurant on Unilocal.Generally I am not one to eat at restaurants inside of hotels, but this one is exceptionally good. Their craft cocktails are what I would suggest going for. The cheese plate is also a great appetizer.

I have eaten here several times over the years, and have only had the most positive of experiences. That’s the only reason why this is a three-​star review rather than a one-​star review.
At lunch today, about done with my salad, I arrived at a piece of lettuce with a very large and very dead moth in it. I stopped eating, and my friend called the waitress over. She removed the plate and said she was going to speak with the manager. She returned a few minutes later alone, and with the bill. She had removed my salad from the bill. And that was that.
I recognize that mistakes happen, at the best and worst of restaurants, and to the best and worst of chefs. But from a business perspective, saving me seven dollars after nearly eating a salad with a dead moth isn’t the most effective way of convincing me to return for a meal in the future.

I came to Latitude 41 with two colleagues when we were in town on business. The service was good and the food was just OK. We had 2 pizzas (Pepperoni and Margherita), which weren’t really memorable. The drinks were good and strong which I appreciated. However, they didn’t have Moscato which almost made my colleague fall out of he chair. Not a place is recommend, but if you are close by and want a strong drink then this is an okay spot.

A disastrous dining experience started with a bland bowl of black bean soup. Perhaps the chef had a bad day and took it out on a bunch of black beans — slaughtered them in a blender until they were mashed to pulp, warmed it up a little, had a little afterthought on seasoning and garnish and thought a dollop of onion cream would do the trick — it didn’t! I sent it back.
Second act — crispy brussels sprouts the menu said… the word should have been «charred» — yeah, the brussels sprouts didn’t fare too much better with the cooks — overfried, oversalted, crammed into a tiny bowl — bad taste, worse presentation.
By this time, all I was thinking about was whether to put this dinner down as a comedy or tragedy. The fried fingerling potatoes provided another angle — mystery!
This was perhaps the most confusing creation from the kitchen — served like Belgian fries, but the cooks were too lazy to even cut the potatoes to classify them as fries; a scavenger hunt couldn’t have unearthed the fried chick peas that were purportedly part of this dish!
I sought refuge in the warm moist cake from the concierge lounge to recover from the culinary ordeal
Why one star? I did like my Mediterranean inspired veggie wrap from a couple of days ago — it didn’t involve the use of a skillet or a saucepan!

Eh, it’s not worth the price. I was staying at the hotel and it was way too cold to go out in search of food (and there isn’t much in the area anyway). So I had a couple of meals here. Vegetarian options are limited, and sweet as the waitstaff are, they didn’t have a lot of suggestions.
I tried the buttermilk pancakes for breakfast, and for dinner I had the apple salad, the chips, and the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was okay – not amazing, not horrible, certainly not worth the price. When I ate breakfast here, the server also brought out a complimentary smoothie, which tasted pretty good but had lots of seeds to get stuck in my teeth. The dip that came with the chips was actually one of the high points of my experiences here – it’s some sort of creamy dip with herbs that was a pretty creative accompaniment to otherwise standard chips. The sticky toffee pudding tasted pretty good, but it was a little on the dry side; letting the ice cream melt helped it tremendously. It didn’t hold a candle to sticky toffee pudding I’ve had in a British pub, where they poured cream over it instead of serving it with ice cream.
The service does certainly help my impression of the restaurant, and the atmosphere is very classy, and I appreciated having food nearby so I wouldn’t have to venture out in the snow. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

Dined here with a large group attending a conference. The wait staff were very attentive, but the food left a bit to be desired. We started with appetizers that included jumbo shrimp and a cocktail sauce with a hint of horseradish, but not overwhelming. Also included was a tray of artisan cheeses, most of which were dried out, and I don’t think that was the intention. There was also some kind of cheese spread that I swear tasted like a dirty sock.
After our program, we were served dinner quickly. The greens salad was good, but had just a drizzle of what might have been a raspberry vinaigrette, but I’m not sure because there wasn’t enough on the salad to make a call. Next came the food. The food was nicely arranged on the plate, but it seemed that was the only intent. There was a bite of mashed potatoes, and I mean a bite. However, they tasted very good. Three stalks of asparagus were nicely arranged in «rays» emanating from this tiny dollop of potatoes. On one side of the asparagus lay a partial chicken breast with part of the wing still attached, and on the other side was a small beef filet. Some at our table received a a very small beef filet.
The chicken was well seasoned but overcooked. The beef was marinated and had a nice outer crust with a tender medium rare center. It was the best part of the entrée. Unfortunately, my dining partners with the very tiny beef filet received overcooked portions.
Finally, the desserts were brought out onto a side table. We had two choices, and again, the portions were very small. The chocolate mini-​brownie had a soft chocolate core and was delicious, and was the mini-​bread pudding. Maybe two bites in each one.
Don’t worry about overeating here. Or maybe I’m just too used to the over-​portions at other restaurants. In any case, I wouldn’t go back here if I had the choice.
