Good choices to kick things off with and then we ordered all the apps! Good attempt w the Boudin Balls, but it needed alot more sausage, tasted like rice balls. The Muffaletta Deviled Eggs were very salty. Even after taking the olive topping off, the saltiness was soaked into the egg. Now the Grilled Shrimp Maque Choux was off the chain! I could've eaten 20 plates. Off to the entrees, we went with the Jambalaya and the Gumbo. The only mistake was not getting a bowl of Gumbo! It was very good. Cajuns would be proud! I hope the Gumbo is on their regular menu! Cannot wait to come back and try other stuff. Sazerac had a black licorice and ouzo quality to it and I'm not a fan of either of those but ppl who are will love it.

We sat at the bar and had great service from the bartender Heather. We enjoyed some cold wine and deviled eggs. The eggs had a great fresh taste where the dill really stood out but wasn't overpowering. I had the salmon BLT which was delicious. My wife had the chicken avo sandwich and said it was the best chicken sandwich she had ever had. We ordered some chicken fingers for our son and his fiancé to go. They said those were delicious as well. Everyone that worked there was so nice and it was pretty neat to be the final customers at the location. Go give them a try in Centerville!

We come here all the time! Love how many vegan options they offer. I usually get either the vegan…read morechili or the vegan chicken and waffles. Today we also got the vegan chocolate cake and vegan falafel balls. The cake tasted differently than normal, which was odd. Not as good as usual. The falafel was so good though. Almost like a softer fried mozzarella ball. Our waitress was also very nice! She even drew a little dog on our receipt which was cute!

The proportions were perfect and the sauce was amazing! It also had a cool punk rock vibe. They weren't trying to be something they weren't. Decent service but I didn't expect anything different. They aren't trying to impress you there, just give you great food and some decent beer. Would have liked the beer more if they had more IPA options. A lot of the options were a little too unique but if you're into that give it a go!

Such a cool place and delicious lunch! Great service and friendly. Hope to go back again!read more

Oh my goodness, this British gastropub is the real deal! I quickly checked the Yelp reviews, and…read moremade an evening reservation, not checking what the parking situation was like. Well, my bad - their website includes multiple accessible places to park in and around the village. That said, we got it, and decided to belly up to the bar for a better look at the offerings and the place in general. Matt O was our server. I started with a delicious Scottish Ale, and my companion had a glass of wine. Prices are reasonable. My companion ordered and raved about the Shepherd's Pie. I had Bangers & Mash - sausage (3 pieces) with imported horseradish mustard, mashed potatoes, gravy, delicious baked beans. It went perfectly with my pint! It was a warm afternoon so the glass garage doors were opened wide and folks were eating and drinking outside in the beer garden too. The vibe was loud, lively and very positive. Music was old school British Invasion '60s style. Good times seemed to be had by everyone. We finished with a locally produced Chocolate Rum Cake - it was rum forward and smooth, dark chocolatey! Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Today I chose a crock of French Onion soup and a sandwich. With my beer it was about $30. The soup is decent, the sandwich was really fresh and tasty. It was turkey and slaw, I wasn't sure of that combo and glad to say it works. Service is attentive, if it wasn't rainy hot and humid, I'd have sat on the patio. I've never had a bad experience here.

The Classic Smash Burger consists of two all beef patties on a sesame seed bun. The burger was cooked very well, was cheesy and very flavorful! The fries were seasoned well and are shoestring style. They were good. Not too oily and very plentiful. The chipotle ketchup was okay but not really what I was expecting. It is a bit spicy, perhaps too much to my liking, but I am sure many people would enjoy it. Everything was carefully placed in a nice cardboard box lined with brown paper and sealed. The order itself was placed in a brown paper bag. I do recommend. Food is good, plentiful, and a decent value compared to other chain type restaurants! I would go again as they have a pretty decent selection of food and this experience was good. Recommended!

The Mouth Breather was my favorite of the 6 I sampled. For lunch I ordered the Street Tacos. I had 2 chicken, 1 pork and 1 steak. They were delicious and I ordered an extra side of crema for dipping. I finished off with a Stumbling Nag, which was by far the best beer I had there. For most of my visit, I was the only customer, which was fine. It gave me time to talk to the 2 bartenders that were working.

They have a nice full bar with plenty of good beers in cans, bottles and draft. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. It was a little busy but I never had to wait long to order.

The guy working the deli counter also was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place itself had plenty of seating and was quite clean. Definitely a perfect spot to stop in Dayton to get a delicious sandwich and a refreshing beverage. They also had signs posted allowing kids during the day which is perfect - they can play the old school arcade games while you wait for your food! Highly recommend!
