About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
This restaurant housed in a former bank building in the heart of downtown Tipp City offers quality dining in a small-town setting. The decor is warm and welcoming and is a delight for the senses. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere while the full bar allows patrons a relaxing stop while awaiting a fabulous meal. The inviting atmosphere encourages relaxed conversation. You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice. A visit is a must and will be the first of many.

    As always the food was delish and the service top notch! Our server Kelly was very personable and attentive, explaining the specialty dishes and responding to our questions. The garden tomato soup special was wonderful and so was the steak! I do miss John the bartender as he made the perfect Dirty Martini! The noise level was loud and made it hard for us to converse which was a little frustrating as my friend and I had not seen each other in awhile. I recommend turning the music offer when the restaurant is at or near capacity to help with the noise level. All-in-all it was a wonderful experience and I will certainly be back! Especially if they have that GF black bean chocolate cake!!

    I had the halibut and risotto which was amazing. There was a slight hiccup with my wife’s dinner, but the staff and manager made everything right. We could not have been more pleased. The service was wonderful.
