He got the wagoo steak we shared, and we shared a side of corn burlee oh, and with the bread they always bring us the champagne and pews, butter, and then some random butter, we always like the champagne butter better, so we've started telling them, just keep the other butter and bring us extra champagne butter. Because we were celebrating something they offered me a complimentary glass of champagne. I think before they gave him a glass of champagne too, but this time just one glass of champagne. Anyway, it's a cheap, they call it brute, but it seemed pretty sweet. We looked it up, I think it's like six or ten dollars for a bottle. Anyway, I like that better than the true brute. Dry champagne. I can't help, but i've got cheap tastes l o l. Even though we were full, we shared a lava cake with ice cream dessert and Chantelle cream. Ohh, my, it was so good. I am so full. They took our picture and printed out A. Memento. Gave a handwritten card and what else they do oh, they had little plaque on the table with happy birthday and some stars and whatever. Anyway, it's a nice way to celebrate your birthday. If cost isn't a real issue. I think I got water and he got an iced tea, and the bill was around two fifty. Ohh, and if you're celebrating something, they give you a complimentary box of chocolate truffles that I think, has four little chocolate truffles. Alas kin has never got to try them even on his birthday. i did forget to mention, I got a either a cup or a bowl of the brie mushroom soup that is amazing. We shared that, but I ate most of that. The manager's always come by your table sometime. Through the night and check to make sure everything went well period I think everything's always went well with us, but I have heard other tables. If you have any problem, they I think they go out of their way to make you happy. And make sure you're satisfied. The service has always been extraordinary here.

Had dinner here with my family (all 10 of us!) this past weekend, and I'm still thinking about that…read moreribeye... The moment we stepped in, the modern aesthetic hit perfectly - clean lines, mood lighting, and just enough buzz to feel energetic without drowning out conversation. Our family gathering was greeted immediately by staff who seemed genuinely stoked to have us there. Major points for making a large group feel welcome! The menu is refreshingly concise - none of that overwhelming novel-length situation that makes you second-guess yourself three times. Their drink selection strikes that perfect balance too - enough variety in wines/beers/cocktails to satisfy everyone. They've got some non-alcoholic options as well. We started with the Kimchi Pancake and Brussels Sprouts for the table. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about the pancake (kimchi can be hit or miss for me), but this was a revelation. The kimchi flavor was present but not overwhelming - just enough kick that played perfectly with the shiso and wasabi remoulade. And those Brussels? It's packed with flavor and disappeared in approximately 3.5 seconds... Maybe less! For my main course, went with my cousin's recommendation - the Koji Aged Ribeye. When it arrived I initially thought "that's it?" But this steak is deceptive. The thick cut topped with Togarashi Butter was significantly more filling than it looked. Cooked to absolute perfection, and that butter situation on top? A flavor bomb of sweet-spicy-savory that had me contemplating licking the plate - don't worry, I didn't! My taste buds were begging for more even when my stomach waved the white flag. That's when you know it's good. If you're anywhere near downtown Dayton, make Jollity a priority stop. Not sure when I'll be back in Ohio again, but would definitely have this resto on my return list.

Jollity is a very aptly named, up-beat restaurant with small menu, craft entrees and good vibes all…read morearound. The inside is a bit small but cozy with the kitchen in broad view. The menu rotates roughly every quarter, and given the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, the selection is a bit limited -- handful of vegetarian small plates, a few meat and a few seafood options. For the non-drinkers, they had two non-alcoholic cocktails available, but no NA beer. Beware though, as the NA cocktails were still around $11, which I always find frustrating as they are basically flavored sugar water. We tried the blackhawk beef burger and koji-aged ribeye. The blackhawk burger was a smash burger (thin patties, melted cheese), that tasted delicious. The ribeye was just as expected and cooked as ordered. The star of each of the entrees, however, was the thin cut, crispy fries. Good thing the fries were delicious because the sauces that came with it were quite bland -- would've preferred ketchup. For dessert we tried the bay leaf cheesecake. It was alright, had a subtle smokey flavor that I think threw us off a bit (although that was obviously the point given the bay leaf). Our server Renee was friendly and everything was prompt. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the food was pretty good. Although, given the limited number of options on the menu, you'll definitely want to look at it ahead of time to make sure there is something that suits your palate.

I've always parked myself at the bar and would occasionally take my drink outside to look at the city view. If you can catch coming here during a Dayton Dragon's baseball game, even more ideal. The food here is really good too! Ive gotten the Sunset Salad with Flank Steak, Pommes Frittes and an ice cream/brownie dessert. Each of which was all very delicious. The flank steak was cooked perfectly. Moist and tender and paired with the slightly citrus, acidic and sweetness of the Sunset Salad...so good. The dessert was definitely sweeter than most items I would eat but still very enjoyable nonetheless. I was more expecting french fries when I ordered the Pommes Frittes but they were a slightly mashed up, small, potato spuds. Still really good tho. Really crispy skin and a slightly firm and buttery bite made it really tasty. I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy more delicious foods, drinks, and relaxing vibes along with their friendly and attentive bar staff.

I loved the old school supper club vibes -- low lighting, dark wood interior. Our server left a bit to be desired. She wasn't particularly engaged or helpful, and I had to ask her if I could provide my allergen information when placing our order because she didn't ask. I also had to ask for my horseradish sauce that I ordered when my entree arrived. I ordered my prime rib medium rare and it was more on the rare side, but not so much that I sent it back. There is a ton of food with each entree -- salad, sides, rolls. I loved the dill ranch dressing on the salad and would have taken a bottle of that to go. Server was agreeable about splitting the check a few ways, which was helpful. Overall, I can see the appeal as a Dayton institution, but this wouldn't be my first choice for a dinner out if I'm back in the area.
