Final week the primary Columbus location – and the primary Ohio location, at that – of Los-Angeles-based Sweetgreen opened final week within the Quick North. The chain began in 2007 and now options greater than 230 places nationwide. It’s recognized for its menu of seasonal salads, protein plates, heat bowls, and sides.
Sweetgreen remodeled the nook house at 700 N. Excessive St., on the southeast nook of Excessive Road and East Lincoln Road. We keep in mind when this was R.J. Snapper’s, however over time it’s been Stage and Monarch lounges. The construction was utterly gutted and opened up with flooring to ceiling home windows.
Sweetgreen’s menu is plant-forwarded, though not solely plant-based – you’ll discover salmon, hen, and steak on provide. You’ll be able to customise your personal bowl, plate, or salad, or select from 17-18 pre-set dishes. There’s additionally a child’s menu.
We tried two of their mounted meals, and loved each of them!
First up was the hen pesto parm bowl, with roasted hen, spicy broccoli, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, za’atar breadcrumbs, herbed quinoa, child spinach, Sweetgreen’s scorching sauce, and pesto French dressing.
And that is the miso glazed salmon plate: the salmon is layered with avocado, cucumbers, pickled onions, crispy onions, white rice, nori sesame seasoning, and a spicy cashew sauce.
With each dishes, we loved the combination of textures and flavors. The substances had been all contemporary, and the parts had been filling.
The prep kitchen is surrounded by glass, too, so you possibly can watch the culinary crew at work.
Whereas the house is size-able, seating did replenish shortly (though it was opening week), however there gave the impression to be a gradual carryout enterprise, too.
Nonetheless, we actually loved our meals, and we will see ourselves returning for a lot of extra visits!
