About the restaurant

The "warmest" vibe in NW Ohio meets Farm-to-Table at The Dark Horse Social Club. This 1868, National Register structure has been completely transformed; warm and romantic, perfect for quiet dinners and heartfelt conversation while savoring fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes in a setting that feels both intimate and special.

We offer fresh food focused on local sourcing and home-made recipees. Our beef is raised in Holgate, OH and processed locally. The cheese on our boards is made from local, whole milk in Hicksville, OH. We use 100% California olive oil in our oil based dressings - it is not cut with canola/soy/vegetable oils. Our flatbreads come in at less than 30 carbs each. We are known for our cocktails, particularly our Old Fashioneds and our Seasonal Speicialty Drinks.

I gotta say… the steak was fabulous. My brother in laws Sea Bass was the best he’s ever had. My in-laws were in from out of town. It was a very busy night, hence the noise level. I think it’s something you need to look into as I’m well aware it’s been an issue. But Benchmark is a great restaurant not to mention the wait staff. And sweet Ryan and the girls that greet you at the front. Love this place 🥰

Beautiful Hotel and restaurant. Ambiance and service was great. Soup, salad, and bread/crackers with herb butter was delicious. We both got steak and wasn’t overly impressed with the flavor. Could have been juicier, we got ours medium done and they were over cooked. Got the Tournedos Oscar Beef Medallions and they were more on the dry side. But overall, was nice. Needs improvement on steak but everything else was great.
