I
left
the
review
below
two
months
ago
and
gave
the
restaurant
five
stars.
I
came
back
today,
11/22/22
and
again
ordered
the
salmon
plate.
But
the
two
plates
are
just
not
the
same.
And,
IMHO,
Hubbard
took
a
big
step
backwards
with
this
change.
The
salmon
plate
in
August
was
beautiful
and
the
flavors
were
delicious,
delicate,
and
distinct.
The
Nov
2022
salmon
plate
was
a
huge
disappointment.
The
salmon
still
tasted
great
but
there
was
only
one
other
flavor,
a
heavy
and
sweet
glaze.
The
asparagus
was
replaced
with
meaningless
and
pointless
kale.
The
rice
in
the
August
plate
was
replaced
by
equally
meaningless
quinoa.
Both
the
kale
and
the
quinoa
added
nothing
to
the
plate
other
than
a
vehicle
for
delivering
the
sweet
glaze.
There
were
only
two
flavors
in
this
dish,
and
rather
than
compliment
one
another,
they
were
in
competition.
The
second
most
disappointing
aspect
of
this
November
salmon
plate
is
the
introduction
of
a
potato
squash
chunks.
I
cared
neither
for
their
flavor
as
a
paring
with
salmon,
however
much
disguised
by
the
sweet
glaze,
nor
for
their
dry,
mushy
texture.
But
the
most
disappointing
aspect
of
the
November
plate
when
compared
to
the
August
plate
was
the
substantially
reduced
size
of
the
salmon
portion.
I
finished
the
plate,
which,
by
the
way,
was
about
the
same
price
as
the
original,
in
just
a
few
minutes
and
then
picked
up
the
menu
in
search
for
more.
That
story
would
have
warranted
4
stars
because
the
salmon
itself
was
still
tasty
and
properly
cooked.
But,
it’s
three,
because
I
was
also
disappointed
by
the
facts
that
Hubbard
discontinued
the
olive
dish,
which
I
was
looking
forward
to
as
an
appetizer,
and
they
were
out
of
cheese
cake,
their
most
appealing
dessert,
and
they
let
Vee
go
(pictured),
the
most
entertaining
of
bartenders.
So,
on
this
particular
night,
I’ll
finish
my
now
routine
drive
from
Akron
to
Cincinnati
feeling
sorry
that
I
didn’t
try
something
new
on
the
amazing
High
Street
in
Columbus
OH.
August
2022…
This
place
is
amazing.
Great
food,
great
atmosphere,
and
great
service.
Ask
Vee
the
bartender
about
his
hand
crafted
cocktails.
They’re
awesome!
Never
tell
a
chef
how
to
do
his
or
her
job.
Always
order
your
steak
or
salmon,
“Chef’s
preference”
and
you’ll
never
be
disappointed.
Can’t
wait
to
come
back
with
the
family!
Great
prices
on
Calamari
and
Brussel
sprouts
during
happy
hour.
First
date?
The
marinated
olives
will
relax
the
atmosphere
and
fuel
your
conversation.
