Historical and really love the atmosphere. Very laid back and not noisy. Even the music is not loud that you can have conversations without yelling. I highly recommend you make reservations. We didn't do that and only had to wait 20 minutes since it wasn't super busy at the time. It's an open bar, which when you are seated, you are waited on. They have everything from specialty cocktails, wine/sake, beer, non alcoholic, spirits and small snacks/appetizers. I got a glass of red wine (Tempranillo), my fiancée ordered the smoked Manhattan and my best friend ordered their specialty cocktail- Softer than my intentions. We really enjoyed our time and had a great experience. Don't sleep on Dayton. They have so much to offer and what a great hidden gem!

It is very dimly lit with minimal natural light coming in. This adds to the ambiance and I love it, though it does make for a bit of a challenge in reading the extensive drink menu. Primarily a Whiskey bar, but they can also whip you up any fine cocktail. There are also wine and beer selections. The bar itself is huge and there are cozy tables as well. Expect a crowd, but you will find sufficient bar staff to provide timely service and answer any questions or help you make a selection. Parking is horrendous, and if someone in your party has mobility issues you will probably need to drop them off in front while you seek a place to put the car. But worth the trouble!

No food, just drinks, but you will drink high quality liquor. The prices are comparable with other bourbon bars.

I've had a whiskey sour (pictured), an old fashioned and have tried a few different shots. All delicious!

In January 2023, a "hold this date reservation arrived" for August, 2023. A family member held her large, fashionable, and somewhat expensive wedding reception for 300+ friends and relatives. We congratulate her foresight for engaging this venue. It is great that Dayton's historical buildings are restored and lots of area folks delight in selecting reception areas. We know that Steam Plant Professionals deserve huge credit for being the venue of joy to life. We like the event spaces, indoor and outdoor. Of course, we like the on-site parking Highly recommend...

For our main courses, we had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, the Salar Breakfast, and an Omelette. Everything was generous and perfectly prepared. The smoked salmon was balanced nicely -- flavorful without overpowering the dish -- and the poached eggs were done just right with a slight firmness. The spinach pairing, both cooked beneath the salmon and fresh on the side, worked really well. The ham on the Salar Breakfast was a standout: smoky, flavorful, and not overly salty. The omelette was cooked perfectly as well. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive throughout, and every request was handled without hesitation. The restaurant was also spotless, including the restrooms. Highly recommend.

The food is Latin American fusion and it definitely gets filled even in the Thursday night that we eat there. Menu seems to change slightly every year. The plating is very appealing and the tastes match the food. Definitely get a reservation, especially in the prime dinner hours. Come here if you are looking for a more upscale and slightly more pricey experience to accompany the good food.

She then strained my drink, put it in another glass for me to drink‼ (thank God I saw what happened) Very nicely I tried to educate her. I'm not gonna drink that because if there's only a tiny sliver it could cut your intestines open. She said Well, I strained it. It was a large chunk of glass not tiny. I said I'm sorry I'm not drinking it. I put an X across my bill. Then went to sit with my friends. The bartender, brought over my drink, and said You Forgot Your Drink‼ I took it to the bathroom and poured it down the drain. Realizing I didn't have my credit card,, my tall male friend went to the bar with me, to make sure I got it back. They set it to the side ... had no intention of dropping it off to me! My friend stood there watching, he said This place is Nasty, they barely rinse their shot glasses - let alone wash them‼ Yes they charged me for my drink
