New Polaris restaurant brings local focus to unique dining experience

Mike Thomas

Sagas Restaurant Group—the group behind Atlas Tavern—is opening a new concept at 2050 Polaris Parkway in the Spring of 2020.

To help set itself apart from other dining options in the area, this yet-to-be-named concept will utilize novel pieces of restaurant equipment unique to the Columbus market: a Josper oven and Basque grill from Spain.

Imported from Spain’s Basque region, the hardwood grill will be one of only 100 in North America. This machine combines the best aspects of an oven and a grill, and is 100% fueled by charcoal and hardwoods. With superior temperature control versus other charcoal grills, the Basque grill can generate temperatures from 450 degrees all the way up to 900 degrees, creating amazing seared charcoal flavor while retaining optimum moisture.

According to a statement, this new concept will offer “approachable, upscale food at the best possible value,” utilizing the best sourced ingredients. Menu items such as oak barrel teriyaki New York strip, lemon rosemary short ribs, wood grilled peach goat cheese and arugula salad, and charcoal roasted chicken with lemon confit are already being teased.

Above all, the developers hope this concept will bring a much needed local focus to Polaris.

“We believe one aspect the Polaris area is still missing out on is the local Columbus culture,” a representative said via a prepared statement. “While Downtown, Easton or Bridge Park are all great destinations, the North Side population deserves to have an option for non-chain, locally sourced, and well-designed restaurants without having to drive out of the way or commit to an entire evening out.”
