    Great place that originally was on the North side of Columbus and has now grown to multiple…read morelocations including Mansfield. I had been here originally years ago and the Fish has always been really good, beer has always been cold and the bar is fun and a great place to hang! I was in town to go to the OHSAA Football playoff game and the food was great, drinks were plentiful and the service & setting a lot of fun to spend some time! Get some Suavecito Tequila and everything would be perfect! The Great Lakes Christmas Ale was definitely enjoyed!

    I love the ambiance of this place! I've gone two, maybe three, times now for dinner, and it has yet…read moreto be a bad experience. The last time I went I ended up getting in about an hour from closing time (not on purpose!) but even then the service was friendly and fast. I got a beer and fish and chips, since I'd been craving it for a while. It was decent, but not the best I've had. Somewhat bland and heavy on the batter. I do love their shoestring fries, they are super crispy and well-seasoned (and are super yummy with ranch if you like that). I've had their chicken tenders before, and I'd probably order those over the fish. I'd like to come back and try more items on the menu, though! My partner got the mussels and shrimp which are served in a nice spicy sauce (YUM). Overall a good dining experience and I'll definitely be coming back in the future.

    The good parts were fantastic: My server, Millie, was top-notch, and helped me sort through some…read moremenu options to make a choice. Which turned out great, because she said the chef doing the steaks was really good, and she was right. I have very exacting preferences for steak done-ness, and this one was absolutely perfect. The Cajun seasoning and mushrooms & onions were a tasty garnish, and I subbed out the garlic mashed potatoes for the 4-cheese mac & cheese with bacon -- a winner again, rich and savory. The national chain nature of the restaurant means the beer selection is pretty lame, but the drafts are cold. The not so good parts? The host was on his phone in the waiting area when I walked in, and he didn't glance up as he yelled "How many?" When he asked me if I wanted a table or a booth, it felt like a challenge, and his "Follow me" was more like an order from a guard than an invitation, but fine. I wouldn't mention it but for the fact that the general manager visited my table as I was dining to ask if my steak was done right. I told him it was perfect, and he said thank you and left. No conversation, no interest in details, just a quick yes/no survey. I've heard that some restaurant chains have a "table touch" policy that requires managers to visit patrons' tables and ask about the experience. If this was an example, it was a bad one, because it couldn't have been more clear that this manager wanted to be doing pretty much anything else than this job. Last grouchy note: tableside devices to pay the check are fine, but when they double as distractions, entertainment devices (doesn't everyone carry one already?), and ways to avoid human contact -- that's a line I wish they would refuse to cross. End of rant.

    The food was great. They have the best burgers around. We sat at the bar, and Kaitlin was the…read morebest. Great conversation and lots of laughs. We will definitely go back.
