Columbus Dispatch: The Clarmont restaurant [in German Village] closes after 65 years

The story is here

The Clarmont, 884. S. High St.,  closed today after 65 years in business.

 

"It's been a tough couple of years, and I didn't want it to come to this, but there just comes a point where if you can't be successful you can't be in the business," said owner Thom Coffman, who has owned the landmark steakhouse since 1996. "I just want to thank all of the residents of Columbus who have supported us through the years. They were like family to us."

 

Coffman said the decision to close the restaurant was "one of the toughest decisions he's ever had to make," and that although nothing is set in stone, the restaurant will likely be offered for sale.
