WORTHINGTON INN Restaurant to Reopen in ’23

Written by David Robinson on . Posted in City Identity, Historic District, History, Local Business

Good news!  The Worthington Inn restaurant will reopen later this year.  In addition to its landmark location and superb food and drink, the opening will bring a welcome upgrade: greater accessibility (ADA compliant).  Stay tuned.

UPDATE @ 22.Feb.2023: Since posting the news about the reopening of the Worthington Inn restaurant, I’ve been asked for more details from a few persons. I get it—I too would like to know when the grand opening will happen, what the menu’s going to look like, etc.  But at present, I don’t know the answers to these questions.

I only learned about the reopening a few weeks ago when the owners told me about their plans for later this year.  Then, at our City Council retreat two Saturdays ago, the restaurant’s opening was briefly mentioned by staff, basically as an exciting news update.

When I later discussed this good news with a Worthington resident, they were glad to hear it and thought that the whole community would want to know.  I agreed.  So I asked the Inn owners if they’d be OK with me sharing the basic news—that they plan to reopen this year—with the community via a blog post, and they said “sure.”  And, not surprisingly, the response to the blog post has been enthusiastic.

I know the owners will be putting out detailed information in the coming months, but the basic news is good news—very good news—and I thought it important for everyone to know now.  Stay tuned.
