Food News: HillGarten Makes Debut; New Seafood Spot Opens in Delaware

Restaurant openings, closings and extra Central Ohio food and drinks information

Openings & Bulletins

HillGarten, a German-themed restaurant and beer backyard, debuted Saturday at 4131 Primary St. in Outdated Hilliard. Ohio beers function prominently at HillGarten, together with a large Bavarian-style pretzel, sausage charcuterie, hummus and quite a lot of handhelds on semolina rolls. A small children’ menu can be accessible.

The newest idea from chef Josh Dalton, Cove, A Seafood Joint, opened quietly on Friday in downtown Delaware. The Southern-accented seafood restaurant is Dalton’s third enterprise to occupy 15 E. Winter St., an area that after housed Veritas Tavern and Speck Italian Eatery. (Each of these eating places have since moved to Downtown Columbus, with Speck’s opening imminent.) Menu objects at Cove embrace a wedge salad, lobster roll, tuna tostada, mussels, New York strip steak and a seafood boil that includes lobster, king crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, potatoes and corn. 

Closings

The breakfast-focused meals truck Mersh’s Breakfast Café will shut down completely on the finish of July, based on an announcement on the truck’s Instagram account. 

Based on a message posted on its web site, the wine bar DeVine Tastings & Eating has closed at 958 N. Excessive St., citing the challenges of operating a enterprise through the pandemic. DeVine took over the area in 2020 from an Indianapolis-based wine store known as Tastings.
