Bar of Modern Art

Columbus locals and restaurant-goers are buzzing over the soon-to-be newest addition to the downtown cuisine landscape. The Bar of Modern Art, a church-turned-restaurant located on East Broad Street, will contain an art gallery, nightclub and exhibition space in addition to offering tantalizing dishes such as lobster-mango bruschetta and pumpkin seed crusted Mahi Mahi. Alex Rodriguez, the Executive Chef, says he wants his cuisine "to compliment the unique atmosphere and diverse dining crowd" expected at BoMA. Basing the menu on the "whole concept of art," Rodriguez is going to incorporate flavors from his trips abroad into his goal of recreating artistic scenes in the food he offers. "Presentation is going to be huge, very visual - something that pops in your mouth," he says. BoMA is scheduled to open in the next few months!
