    Nice surprise in downtown Chillicothe- great service atmosphere and cocktail/beer selection! Cocktails were on the weak side so be warned.

    We love this place! Great waitress and staff. The drinks are reasonably priced and they aren’t “short” poured. Incredible beer selection. Food was excellent. Always a pleasure to have dinner here!

    The cowboy killer was a great cocktail. I loved the fish stew special. There was an abundance of mussels and the shrimp were enormous. My daughters look forward to eating off the lunch trays and I appreciated that they were given goldfish right when we sat down. The soft pretzel app was really good and I especially loved the beer cheese sauce. We topped off the night with molten chocolate cake. It was good and tasted homemade. I hope the creme brûlée makes a comeback. I loved it. We are returning next Friday for my 40th!
