Editorial Review for Braddock's – by Terry Ward Libby
The Scene
The decor has a bit of an island feel, with rough wood shutters and lantern light--think seashore weather-beaten. Founding chef Michael Braddock (who has since moved out of town) worked wonders for other Columbus restaurants--including R.J. Snapper's--and earned credit for heading the first Columbus restaurant to give serious attention to gourmet grits.
The Food
Braddock's applies a refined, Southern-based style to seafood, steaks and chops; call it low-country new cuisine. Also find every variety of shell and fin fish that can be shipped to Ohio: Oysters Rockefeller are done the classic way, with a dash of Pernod; mussels are steamed in tomato cream broth; salmon is roasted on a cedar plank; and crab cakes are meaty and served with tomato-tarragon cream. A stellar, well-informed wine selection and rotating microbrews compliment the food; for dessert, dig into homemade ice creams, a chocolate-covered banana split or superb creme brulee.

After the closing of Braddock's form fire, I was invited to the re-opening party and found a lighter, brighter, more welcoming version of its previous existance. The food was wonderful and the wine list much larger than previous (and spelled correctly). I have to admidt I have not been back until recently. The Chef apparently has changed and the food has too. The staples that I've loved were still there but the new additions were incredibly creative. The wine list (as I was told that evening) is priced at only 9 over retail with a selection that took a good read and a pair of glasses to get through. Service seemed very professional although She did forget a little about the specials. My date and I were very happy that there was seating in a quiet spot and we were left to enjoy ourselves.
Pros: Food , Wine+++, Romantic
Cons: temperature, lighting, kitchen noise

Everytime I walk in there, it's never crowded. It seems like I have a private dining room to ourselves. Recently I dined there and recieved amazing service from a very experienced server and when he recommended wine to try, I gladly accepted and found myself in Nirvana after each mouthful. The Wine list is extensive and very cheap for the area, something not well publicized. The Food was absolute bliss, pairing flavours that we have never seen before (i.e. special du jour - goat cheese mousse and blackened fish!). This is a restaurant that demands the praise that it deserves. If one doesn't have a good experience there, one can always go to TGI Fridays. I'll take my Braddock's.
Pros: Cheap wine!, innovative food, Impeccable Service
Cons: Loud Kitchen
