Valentine's Day Edition:…read more My wife and I met with my parents at Black Dog Tavern as they were having a Valentine's Day steak special. It was delicious! The ribeye was cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic. They were very accommodating and were able to provide my nephew with a high chair. Ambiance was very neat. Eating and having a nice view of the golf course feels very swanky for little ol' Mansfield, OH. I would happily come back as everything on their normal menu looks great!

Well, look like a house, not really a building Went inside, the place is not busy, there is a bar seating, the girl in the bar is very nice, very friendly I seated, the menu has burgers, pasta, steak, typical American restaurant menu, nothing special I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, I know, in American restaurant? lol Well, I want some noodle, I think is $14, added grill chicken for another $6 When it come out, the portion is very small, very disappointed, even the chicken is small, very dry Overall, the food I'm giving 3 out of 10, service is great If you in the area, you should order the burger, they probably do better job

Video poker indoors if that's your thing. It's an order at the counter type of place. No A/C. Service-wise. Got the evil eye when I asked for no tomato. Had to ask them to wipe off our table, since there was no paper products available. But food was hot, made fresh and tasty. My eyes were too big for my stomach, but I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich combo. My guest ordered the gyro sandwich. She said the pita tasted so fresh like it was made right before serving and the meat was seasoned well and tzatziki sauce was good, not runny at all, which you find a lot in other places. Definitely would recommend for a quick pick up order against the chains available.

The restaurant is well appointed but not over the top. Just the right amount of chic. Originally seated in a booth, we ask to move to an open table as the seating in the booths are way too low. After changing places, Nick arrived to ask us if we would like to start some beverages. We had noticed that H&E advertising a locals special starting on Sundays with 50% off beer, wine, cocktails, Raw, First, and Second courses! What a great deal! We opened with cocktails and wine. Alec did a great job on our cocktails, definitely delicious! We also decided on Baked Brie to open. The Brie arrived fairly quickly, though not with enough toast pieces, it was very yummy. For our main courses I ordered their Caesar Salad adding blackened salmon, my wife their Sunday Supper Hot Brown special, mom their house salad adding blackened salmon, while our friend decided on the Steak Frites. I also ordered a half dozen oysters. My oysters and my wife's accompanying salad arrived promptly. Unfortunately, there was no oyster fork but a was asked if I wanted horseradish! The oysters and horseradish were terrific. Our main courses arrived perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! No complaints whatsoever! We had a lovely evening! This seating we were not asked to keep any utensils! Again, easily the best restaurant in the Mansfield area, almost on par with The Capital Grille. Just a tweak or two away.

I had the home fries covered in shaved ribeye, hot peppers, onions, swiss and topped with a sunnyside egg. It was huge and the leftovers (plus a couple more eggs) ended up feeding us both the next night. Both mains were fairly priced. My only complaint would be the 6-8 onion rings cost $10.95. I get that it was a starter as they didn't offer a side, but there should've been more on the plate at that price. All of their sides seem expensive compared to their burgers, but I'd go again.

They provide customized menus as a special touch. As there are three selections on four on the courses, the dishes do not appear to be as customized for those with dietary issues. Jamie was our primary server providing a friendly and professional service. For my order, Three of us started with the Crostini while my wife had the Pave. I really liked the flavors of the Crostini, scrumptious! I had a bite of my wife's Pave and thought the texture and tastes superb! Preparing for the second and further courses was my a put off! We were asked to keep our utensils for the future courses! Nothing like dirty silverware sitting on the table dirtying up the area! At this price point, used silverware should be taken and replaced with new! That is the reason for my 4 of 5 stars. We experienced the same during our first visit two years ago and had hope it was resolved after mentioning to staff. That said, it was the only put off of our experience. For the second course my sister and I decided on the Scallop Arancini while my wife and mom went for the Zuppa Toscano. Again, the Scallop Arancini was amazing and scrumptious! The flavors were terrific! I tried a few spoonfuls of the Zuppa Toscano and thought it missing seasoning. The third found 3 of us ordering the Salmon Oscar while my wife ordered the Grilled Cheese. The salmon was rare, which I particularly like but the crab was cold. My preference would have been warm war with a bit of the béarnaise on top. My wife's Grilled Cheese was very tasty with the preserves but looked lonely sitting on the plate. For the last course three of us decided on the Pumpkin Crepe and my wife the Apple Spice Cake. I thought the Pumpkin Crepe to be a lovey presentation and very tasty and my wife enjoyed the spice cake. All in all a lovely experience overall! Thank you!

First two courses were excellent. Elk tartare was incredible, pave and lobster roll were very good. Zuppa toscano (soup) and shrimp & grits were nicely done. Cons: The meal quality started off great and went down with each course. With steak and salmon as other options, I thought a restaurant that would put a grilled cheese sandwich on a $100 meal must have an innovative sandwich. I was wrong. It was burnt and had no taste at all. An eight year old could have done better with a slice of Kraft. My Madeline dessert was four pieces of dry something, though the chocolate s'mores cake was significantly better.

So attentive, that I was surprised she did not offer to add simple syrup to my tea when I declined the unsweetened tea. The crab rangoon and the crispy sauce that came with it were outstanding. Which is great at $3 a piece. If you don't like crab rangoon then do that sauce with something else. It is amazing. We ordered the 16 oz ribeye special. We ordered it medium rare or medium and got it medium rare on the rare side. They fixed it and it was melt in your mouth good. Definitely char grilled tastes like it was cooked outside. The bacon cheddar tater tots that came with were delicious as well. So they were cold by the time I got my steak back and no more came with the steak when it came back. It did say broccolini and came with asparagus instead my hubby thought the asparagus was good but missed the broccolini. It's honestly what caught my eye when I saw it on the menu. He loves broccolini. I wouldn't eat that with your mouth lol. Fortune cookies were stale.
