January 6, 20178 yr Has anyone been to Maplewood kitchen & bar yet? We went Monday and it was slammed. This place was freakin delicious. Def going back! I've been. The space is really nice, tall and clean, white with marble tops, and I love that the self-serve water has a plain soda water tap, which is what I always drink, and the food was great. I just didn't like paying up front when you order. Are you supposed to leave a tip? there is a line on the receipt for tip, but there is basically no service. I don't get it. This is like most fast casual places that are sweeping the country. You place your order and get a number and they bring it out to you. I work in the food industry in Los Angeles, and as the minimum wage pushes $15 an hour, this is the direction most new restaurants are going. The mid-tier casual "fine" dining restaurants aren't going to be able to afford to pay their bills, and are getting squeezed out. As the Director of Operations for a restaurant group told me the other day, the restaurant landscape in LA is going to change drastically in the next 5 years. Professional table service with polished servers will only be available at top tier, i.e. expensive restaurants. The $15/hr minimum wage is actually going to eliminate the very jobs the people it was supposed to help have now. McDonald's is going to go to an all touch screen system with no counter employees. As far as tipping, I tip 20-25% for good service at a sit-down restaurant. At the fast casual places with a tip line on the receipt, I tip a buck or two depending on the size of my order.
January 6, 20178 yr I just went to a brand new McD's that opened today and it seems like it could be switched to that setup at any time.
January 6, 20178 yr Northside restaurateur opening new establishment with focus on wine and retail A Northside restaurateur is opening a new concept in the former Tacocracy space that will have an emphasis on small bites and craft beer and wine retail.

January 8, 20178 yr In local news, my sources tell me that Collective Espresso is moving out of the Contemporary Art Center in March and will be replaced by something new from Wellman Brands.

In Ohio, tipped employees have a lower minimum wage, for now. The weird 30-hour provision in the Affordable Care Act complicated things for a lot of restaurants and forced them to hire more people who were limited to 3 or 4 shifts per week with relatively few full-time employees. I don't know what the motivation was for this part of the law but it was a nuisance that sent steam blowing out the ears of hardcore Republican owners.

Other than weekend nights, this location would be a ghost town. Look at the Mainstrausse location for reference.

I expect the new pool complex at Ziegler will be very popular, and having a Skyline next door would be a natural fit. Once the Neon's space is re-occupied, Ziegler is completed, and the underground garage is operating, that block of Sycamore will be a significant "entry" point to OTR. I'm not a fan of drive-thrus in general, and particularly not in OTR, but if Skyline insisted on having a drive-thru, they might be able to squeeze one in off of Cogswell Alley (though I'd much prefer they use that space for a walk-up window and outdoor seating): https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1095726,-84.5105615,3a,75y,111.44h,75.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sccW2EFuCGhpLypVYbw4KFw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
January 24, 20178 yr If Ziegler Park is even a quarter as popular as Washington Park, there's going to be a lot of foot traffic on Sycamore starting next year. Anyone walking from the new Ziegler Park Garage to the Main Street bars will walk right past the diner. An inexpensive restaurant in the diner would capture the Ziegler Park crowd, the Neon's crowd, OTR/Pendleton residents who want something cheaper than the existing OTR options, and the lunch crowds from the Courthouse, the Hanke Exchange, new UrbanSites offices on Main (above Japp's), and UrbanSites offices in Pendleton. Parking wouldn't be an issue for those lunch crowds since those people would be in OTR already.
