Gallerie Bar & Bistro Named One of Columbus Monthly’s Top 10

The award-wining Hilton Columbus Downtown recently picked up several more accolades when its Gallerie Bar & Bistro was named one of Columbus’ 10 best restaurants and its hotel staff was recognized as among the best in Ohio.

Columbus Monthly for the second year in a row included Gallerie Bar & Bistro as one of the top 10 restaurants in central Ohio.

The publication praised the restaurant for “offering an imaginative, Ohio-inspired motif from the minds of Executive Chef Bill Glover and Chef de Cuisine Josh Kayser,” noting that “rather than playing it safe, Gallerie takes risks and honors quality ingredients. The local dining scene is better for it.”

Columbus Monthly also called attention to the restaurant’s dessert prowess, saying “Gallerie’s creative streak is never more obvious than on the restaurant’s dessert menu, where the work of Pastry Chef Aaron Clouse made an impression this year.”

Meanwhile, Hilton employees were honored at the Ohio Hotel and Lodging Association’s Stars of the Industry Awards on Nov. 21. Ryne Sanford was named OHLA’s Housekeeper of the Year, while Ty Sindledecker was named Manager of the Year and the entire Hilton staff was named Team of the Year.

The Hilton Columbus Downtown is no stranger to recognition and awards. It has won the Hilton organization’s highest award for service and quality – the Connie Award – three years in a row, as well as individual awards such as Leader of the Year for General Manager Christian Coffin for the last two years.

“We are humbled by this recognition from both Columbus Monthly and the OHLA,” says Coffin. “It is truly an honor to work with such a team of dedicated service-oriented professionals every day.”
