Howard changes the menu, too, to offer variety to his devoted regular. At one time, I remember well, the majority of the household was empty-nesters or retired, and that’s all changed as younger families moved in with their children,” he says. The Chef-O-Nette’s classic diner style and famously low prices – as well as its long-time signature dish, the hangover sandwich, a hamburger with ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion – are the same, but Howard says a lot is different, too. Howard says he can’t find a record of any restaurant having one earlier. The Chef-O-Nette’s drive-up carryout window is one of the oldest in the country. Howard’s father, Maborn, bought the business in 1970 from Jim Reed and Chuck Zollinger.
Owner Harlan Howard, who purchased the business from his father in 1993, has updated the decor only as needed to replace worn-out items. In contrast, the space at the Chef-O-Nette is much the same as when it opened in 1955. Muralist Michael Dichinson painted the wall behind the gelato counter to resemble a scene from the streets of Italy.
The gelateria recently moved from the building’s north side to a glassed-in space on the restaurant’s south side. We thought it would be good to go fast-casual – good food made to order.” “When you look at the demographic in the area, there are a lot of couples with young kids. “We wanted to keep the good quality of the food, (but) we wanted to change the concept,” she says. The smaller space lends itself well to a fast-casual restaurant, but two things were mandatory, Elsea says: The food had to be of the same quality and she wanted to open a gelateria. When that place opened up with a ‘For Rent’ sign, my husband and I both looked at each other and said, ‘OK, let’s go for it.” “I used to be a runner, and whenever I’d run by that corner … I’d think about it. The white-tablecloth restaurant featured a large banquet room and was open until 2006, when Tina and her husband, Kim, decided to go smaller and open Caffe DaVinci at the corner of Tremont and Zollinger roads. She studied education at The Ohio State University and taught Spanish and Italian in Columbus Public Schools until after her first child was born.Įlsea’s parents, Dominico and Italia Ciotola, also helped run Monte Carlo on Cleveland Avenue before deciding to purchase a former funeral home at the corner of Henderson and Reed roads. Elsea and her siblings and cousins worked the restaurant throughout their college years.

“(My parents) started DaVinci’s Restaurant when I was a senior in high school … behind the movie theater on Henderson and Reed roads,” Elsea says. Though Caffe DaVinci is a relatively new restaurant – it opened in 2006 – owner Tina Elsea has been in the restaurant business since she was a high schooler. “You’ve just got to change with the times.” “Nowadays, everyone is in a hurry,” Matt says. Recently, Marshall’s added a breakfast buffet, a lunch buffet and more seating to the bar side. “There really wasn’t much else around,” he says. When Chris’s opened, there were few restaurants in Grandview Heights, Matt says, naming Paul’s and Spagio as two of the other long-time local eateries.

We concentrated on breakfast, lunch and the full bar,” Matt says. “I took out the booths and put some pool tables in and just changed it over. Shortly afterward, Chris took over breakfast and lunch duties and turned the bar over to Matt and Shannon. The closing of a salon next door paved the way for the restaurant to expand in 2000 – and add the koi pond and transparent tunnel that Marshall’s is known for.

“Then my dad purchased a liquor license and added the bar and changed the back of the restaurant to add some pool tables.” “Once we started in 1992, we did breakfast, lunch and dinner and closed at 8 (p.m.). Its ownership isn’t the only thing that has changed over the years. Matt and his wife, Shannon, purchased it from his father in 2004. The restaurant moved West First Avenue near Northwest Boulevard in 1992. It’s actually where the Arlington Bank is now,” Matt says. “My dad was renting the building from a church, and I think it got turned into a youth center. Back then, breakfast was all it served, says Matt Marshall, son of Chris Marshall and the restaurant’s owner. Marshall’s has reinvented itself a few times since it opened as Chris’s Restaurant in 1985 on Grandview Avenue. A few of the older dining establishments told us how things have changed over the years and how they stay abreast of the latest trends. Then – and now – innovation is a must for family-run restaurants that are mainstays in the Tri-Village community.
The Chef-O-Nette brought the first drive-through to Upper Arlington. Caffe DaVinci is the third restaurant in its owner’s family. Marshall’s used to have a different name and location.
