It was not that busy but twice we had to get up and ask for our waiter. I feel like since the gratuity was automatically included with the larger party our waiter was not as attentive. Also, the music piping in over our table was loud. I asked if it could be turned down but it wasn't and it hindered conversation. The food and drinks were very good.”

The place is nice, clean, seating and overall ambiance top notch. Service was fantastic. Ordered shrimp cocktail. They were good but not properly chilled. Cocktail sauce could use a little tweaking. Steaks were outstanding. Tender and cooked to order. The crab legs were just OK. They were skimpy and were a little cool. I would highly recommend the Flemming potatoes. Deserts were fantastic. Price reflects service and quality. Was very satisfied and will return.”

The ambiance almost feels dive bar esque with the decor, stringed lights, and entry through the back, but the wine and food menu is definitely elevated. It's a great combo. This place just gives off comfortably and effortlessly cool vibes. We got a couple of glasses of an orange wine, which was delicious. I love getting orange wine when I see it on menus, as it's not that common! Also shared some marinated olives to snack on with our wine, and they might've been the tastiest marinated olives I've ever had.”

Olive Mediterranean Grill 44 W Third St, Dayton Mediterranean • $$
44 W Third St, Dayton

“We stopped here for dinner on a long, long, long drive north to the Detroit area. I really wanted to get a small taste of local flavor instead of just eating fast food, and Olive was more or less on our way, so we hopped off the interstate to grab a bite.Now, from some of the pictures of the outside on Yelp, it looks like this is a standalone business with a private parking lot. That might have been the case at one time, but either the business moved or it has a second location that's freestanding and the pics are in the wrong spot, as that's not the case now. This Olive is very much in the downtown-ish area, carved into the ground floor of a much larger building.As such, parking may be a bit more challenging since there doesn't appear to be a private lot. That said, we had no trouble finding a spot on the street within a block or two. Parking was paid for with the Passport app, and it was reasonable. Of course, it might be harder during nicer weather -- not a lot of people out on a rainy evening!We walked in to find the restaurant fairly spacious but almost deserted -- only two other people waiting for to-go orders. Kind of odd for a Friday night, but again...weather. The decorations are kind of sparse but the place, including the bathroom, was clean.We ordered our meal at the counter and sat down to wait. Husband got a gyro and fries, and I got the Shish tawook platter, which came with grilled chicken, a salad, rice, and pita. We also got an order of the Greek potatoes to try out as an appetizer. Service was a little gruff at checkout but gave us a genuine, kind-hearted thank you as we left, so I guess they just had to warm up to us, lol.The potatoes came out first and were my favorite part of the meal! They were clearly cooked fresh. I'm honestly not sure what's Greek about them as they kinda reminded me of hash browns (the cubed, hash kind) with a little squeeze of lemon and maybe some herbs on top...but if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They were piping hot and very crispy.Husband and I enjoyed our meals, too. His gyro was very large and almost over-stuffed with gyro meat. The fries were medium-cut but tasted like McDonald's fries somehow...not complaining. My Shish tawook was very juicy and flavorful. I've had better rice and pita but these were both quite serviceable and I enjoyed a fairly healthy-feeling meal.Honestly, my true rating is maybe more in-line with a 3.5...but I don't have any super severe criticisms and we had a quite pleasant time overall, so I'll just round up to a 4.Seems like they do a lot of carryout / delivery business. I'd recommend this spot for a decently healthy, very fresh Mediterranean bite if you're in the area.”

At first, I thought, breakfast is breakfast, but we knew we were in the right place. The cooks/register person was so nice and sweet. They helped us place our order perfectly. Don't take my word for it, but I wished I would've called my order in. All these "regulars" knew what's up cause they all came and got their pick up orders. I got to speak to a "regular" too and they literally came to my car and showed me everything they ordered so I could know what to prepare for. That's how you know we were in the right spot when service is great and the customers are too. We got all the favorites but my favorite was the breakfast burrito and don't skimp on the mayo, trust me. And the parfait, just isn't any other parfait. The granola was fresh and crunchy and it was just *chefs kiss*. Highly recommend!!!”

“Just left and we will definitely be back! Ordered the old fashioned pizza, the trio special, salad with ranch, and limoncello cake. The pizza was delish - good chew on the crust, cheesy, and delightful tomatoes. The trio - goodness gracious - meat lasagna, chicken parm, and fettuccine Alfredo. All to die for. The meat lasagna was good - real ricotta and flavorful meat. The chicken parm had excellent seasoning on the coating and the meat was juicy. And the Alfredo was creamy and rich without being heavy - I don’t know how they do that. So good!! The ranch tasted homemade on the fresh salad. And the cake was moist and lemony and the perfect end to the meal. Service was friendly and informative. We will be back very soon!”

“The Pine Club in Dayton, Ohio, established in 1947, is a timeless gem reminiscent of the 1950s era. With its cash-only policy and no reservations allowed, (I know right, cash only) it's a place where you are transported back in time to a different era of dining. The ambiance is unparalleled, exuding a classic charm that enhances the experience. Known for its exceptional steaks, oysters, and shrimp cocktail, the Pine Club delivered us outstanding food. If you're seeking a taste of nostalgia coupled with top-notch dining, the Pine Club is a must-visit destination. Just sit at the bar, have a few drinks, and wait to be seated ?”

Hello Thai 3301 Dayton Xenia Rd, Dayton Asian • $$
3301 Dayton Xenia Rd, Dayton

“There is nothing "wrong" with the food here, but it seems to have an identity problem. It's a Thai place in a Japanese body. The miso soup, bento box lunch special and sushi is very Japanese, but then they throw in Pad Thai to make it Thai? But then there is also Lo mein on the menu - so Chinese too? It just seems to be confused. Maybe a better name would be East Asian Fusion? Which is absolutely fine, just not quite Thai specifically. Food was hot and plentiful, flavors were okay. The HOT is not very Hot at all so if I visit again I'll have to try the Thai Hot and see if it lives up to the the reputation.Service was prompt and polite, place was clean! I would say come and try it for sure, there is much variety to choose from, haha!”

Roost Modern Italian 524 E 5th St, Dayton Italian • $$
524 E 5th St, Dayton

“My partner and I went to celebrate Valentines early. We made a reservation in advance and had zero issues the entire experience.BUT YOURE HERE FOR THE DETAILS so lets lay them out.1) We immediately were seated with no wait thanks to the reservation2) Their setup is different than normal resturaunts in that the waitress brings you the menus not the person that seats you so getting the menus did take a second but that wasnt an issue for us.3) As a person with a gluten allergy/celiacs the online menu was more helpful than the in-person menu but the waitress was super helpful/kind.4) We got the fries/frittes - THE DILL KETCHUP IS THE BOMB, if you dont like truffles then you wont like the aoli. The fries are the small shoestring kind so they are super crunchy and not oily. You get a whole bucket of them which we demolished.5) I will preface saying Roost is not about BOLD flavors their style is more enhancing and pairing the natural flavor of things. This is not going to be like Sueno (high end bold latin). Their food is complex but natural italian inspired.6) My partner got the Veal and potatos and I got the chicken with GF raveoli.7) I tried his dish and it was AMAZING. Cooked perfectly, amazing natural flavors with complexity. The tiny onions were adorable and delish. 100% will come back for this dish alone.8) Initially the waitress forgot about my allergy so they had to redo my dish but she was so sweet about it. They redid my dish in less than 10 minutes which was shockingly quick. Chicken was moist but skin was crispy. The raveoli were slightly better than Aldi GF raviolis (my GF people will know this is a big deal) and the sauce was light but still flavorful. Plenty of sauce for everything.9) We thought the meal portions were good sized for the prices. Keep in mind portions are made for courses! If you dont get an app/salad or dessert you might not feel there is enough food. This is not the place you leave with leftovers.10) We did the Sorbetto and the Spumoni for dessert. Presentation for these were great. I LOVED the hallowed out lemon. The gelato was really good, again light flavors but a sweet/salty combo (strawberry, chocolate, pistachio with a salty dark/semi-sweet shell and a sweeter chocolate sauce) BUT we should have asked for a knife and fork because the ball kept rolling all over while trying to eat it.11) We didnt do drinks because we went to Century Bar after12) Only minor stuff that is not Roosts fault is the parking -Oregon district parking sucksOverall meal was $115 ish including tip (1 app, 2 entres, 2 desserts). We left full and satisfied and felt we got really good food/service. I had no symptoms after eating everything. We read the negative reviews before going and felt they were likely due to impatience (good food takes time and this isant fast food), and people not realizing the type of food/flavors Roost is offering.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendlyParking: Oregon district parking is always bad”

I had the appetizer platter which brings you delectable tastes of seafood - smoked trout, peppered salmon, crab claws and shrimp cocktail. The filet mignon was tender and cooked to perfection. My baked potato was just right. I was unimpressed by the side salad as I'm not a fan of iceberg lettuce. The glazed carrots were overcooked and unpalatable. All in all, I'd say it was good but not great. I probably won't go back.”
