This week brings a new business to Kingsdale Center on Northwest Boulevard. Plus, an update on Harvest in Clintonville, and suggestions for those craving French cuisine after watching the Olympics.
La Loma Mexican restaurant opens in Upper Arlington
The first Columbus location of Akron/Canton-based Mexican restaurant La Loma recently opened for dine-in and carryout. Classic Mexican dishes including tacos, enchiladas and fajitas are on the menu, as are some enticing chef’s specials. And be sure to save room for dessert: La Loma’s Akron location has a bakery on-site, so the founders have experience in this realm. A grand opening and ribbon cutting is scheduled Sat., Aug. 3, at 3051 Northwest Blvd.
Harvest Clintonville shares progress on recovery from fire
After temporarily shutting down following its second fire in two years earlier this month, Harvest Clintonville shared on Instagram that the business is “making fantastic strides.” The account reports that the building on North High Street just south of Kelso Road is structurally sound, and the staff is focused on cleaning and repairs. Harvest does not yet have a firm timeline for reopening in Clintonville, and encourages diners to visit its restaurants in Bexley, the Brewery District, Dublin or Granville while the location recovers.
