“This classic French restaurant, housed in a charming former church, has a reputation as the place to go for fine dining in Columbus,” Yelp’s entry for The Refectory reads. “Chef Richard Blondin, a native of Lyon, France, who studied under Paul Bocuse, creates dishes such as a French country terrine with artichoke and pistachio, or filet mignon in cardamom sauce. The menu changes seasonally, and meals can be ordered individually or as a 5-course tasting menu.”

The other Central Ohio spot that made the list this year was Mount Vernon’s The Alcove Restaurant & Lounge. 

“For a roaring good time in an elegant, renovated eatery, look no further than The Alcove. Established in 1910, this cozy Mount Vernon steakhouse is the ideal place to kick back with a handcrafted drink, prime cut, and entertaining dinner theater,” Yelp wrote about the traditional American eatery. “Sultry wood-paneled walls, coffered ceilings dotted with crystal chandeliers, and white tablecloths bedecked with fine china set the stage for one-act plays paired with foie gras, oysters, lobster mac ’n’ cheese, and a variety of beef cuts.”

Two other Ohio eateries made the list as well, including The Sleepy Rooster in Chagrin Falls at number 41 and Fireside Pizza in Cincinnati, which took the number 67 spot.
