Renovations have done wonders

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
Columbus' Best kept secret

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
The best of upscale Southern cooking in little ole Yankee Columbus.

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.
- Pros: great Southern dishes
Great wine list

I've never been disappointed by an entree at Braddocks, and I feel the prices for food are very fair. I am most impressed with the prices on the wine list... we always get a bottle of the Clou De Val (sp?) - they charge $35 and it's usually at least $28 at most wine shops... I think that's a great deal on a great bottle of wine! The service is very friendly - not necessarily very fancy:)
Really Overrated

Given a stained wine list with three readily noticeable misspellings. The first two wines I ordered were unavailable. THEN, the waitress brings me a list of wines she DOESN'T have and wants me to compare that with the list and DO MY OWN MATH.
Secondly, there's the food. Pricey for this town, but no biggie. But, a twenty-one dollar portion of duck shouldn't taste as if it spent the night in a barrel of salt. the "ragout" of butter beans and confit was absolutely inedible. (I was offered ten bucks off my bill for this, I have to add.)
Lastly, for dessert, the waitress called it "death by chocolate", a term that I thought only Friday's still used. Over-sugared chocolate cake topped with what tasted like canned sauce and served with a scoop of ice cream that, like this restaurant, seemed to be sitting in freezer of time since 1986.
- Pros: Outdoor seating
- Cons: Wine list, Food, Food
