Great place, enjoy it each time. Highly recommend the Bison Poutine Appetizer and the chicken sandwich.
Phenomenal. Everything on point. We had the steak and cake. Steak was awesome and the crab cakes were the best we have ever had.Topped dinner off with peanut butter pie. That to was on point.This was our first time here and without a doubt we will definitely be back
Arrived for our reservation tonight and were told it would be a 20 minute wait even with the reservation. We quickly noticed there were two groups waiting who also had reservations and both seemed very angry. Another lady who was eating came up during this time to complain about something else. The hostess was often nowhere to be seen, and when she did show up she didn’t look at anyone or give any updates. One of the two groups ahead of us left, and after we watched them clear off two tables and leave them open for 15 minutes, we had to ask the hostess to be seated. She replied that she would ask the server because the servers were “backed up” and then finally did seat us. At this point it was 45 minutes past our reservation.After we were seated the service and food were fine, but not worth the wait. They also did not offer to comp our drinks for the ridiculous wait. Why take reservations if you’re not going to save the tables?What was truly baffling was that during our 45 minute wait, we quickly realized there were 4 servers and at no point were there more than 7 tables full, and none of them were big parties. At one point we watched a table of 4 leave, and then 2 servers and the hostess all began clearing the table, which took them 10 minutes to do, and that didn’t even include cleaning it, just clearing. After we were seated we noticed multiple times that a server and the hostess were just sitting talking at the register. There was simply no excuse for the terrible management of the seating and lack of haste among the workers.The food is good, but as a previous reviewer pointed out, for the price you can get better food somewhere with a nicer atmosphere and better service.
Excellent find. Came here because the wife saw it on the way to an auction we were going to and again when I had to run over because I forgot my credit card. Haven't had anything that wasn't top notch. Food is excellent, everything me, my parents, or my wife has had has been just terrific. Cocktail I had, the bison, was very flavorful. Too far out for us to make the trip here from the house regularly, but my folks don't live too far from here so we will probably be back whenever we take them out.
I would love to comment on the food but after driving 45 minutes to try this place for a birthday meal we arrived at 8:42 . The 3 females at the front informed us they take their last seating at 8:30 PM despite their website indicating they are open until 10PM. Very disappointing after such a long drive. Especially in the times of Covid, you would think business would be welcomed.
Most excellent dinner to celebrate my 50th Birthday. Despite the pandemic, the food was cooked to perfection and the service was impeccable. I will be back, with friends for many dinners.
I have enjoyed food from here many times. I do not rate often but it definitely is worth taking a trip to try it. even if bison and boar meat isn't your thing they have regular beef chicken and fish dishes as well as a wide array of sides. all hand made in house fresh daily.
Went for the 1st time last night. My wife and I loved it. She got the big sampler platter because she couldn't decide. I got the Bison mac and cheese and the bison and boar chili. We loved everything we tried. Its worth it. Also, if you go, do yourself a favor and order their boar belly poutine. The fries, the gravy, the belly n bacon, the melt cheese curds. You're welcome...
The food is always so good and the staff is amazing as well! Great place! So happy to have a local business like this in preble county.
Great food and drink. A little expensive, but the food was amazing. Crab and lobster cakes were moist and flavorful.

Great food and drinks! Staff is friendly and efficient. Definitely going back.
Excellent food and drinks! My husband got the NY Strip and I got the Prime Rib. Both steaks cut like butter! Veggies were cooked throughly. Staff was friendly and helpful! never had to flag down our waitress, Brie, one time. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic atmosphere with a flavor that this area absolutely needs. 10/10
Good food, I easily cut my steak with a butter knife. Side salad was a very good quality one. Parsnip calchannon was excellent.
Great menu selection. fantastic staff! Definitely stop by if in the area.
