Quoted from anothe tribute page, The Everglades Italian and American restaurant billed itself as "Greater Columbus' smartest" dining option.
I'm wondering why the name was originally chosen. My bet is maybe because Columbus (the Chirstopher guy) landed in what is now Port Everglades, Florida? Anyway, I'm sure there's a Columbus and Florida Everglades connection there.
Located on what is considered the historical west side of Columbus, the original building is still intact; however, it's now just a pretty generic looking furniture store.
