Our server was wonderful. We had hoped for a special, but having got there late they were out. She found scallops and made it close to what we were looking for, and it was a wonderful time. Food is always fantastic there, and I have never had less than a great experience! Always recommend!

Very busy for Valentine’s Day, so I take that into consideration. Ambience was exceptional. Alcohol was good. Appetizer was good. Main course was improved from my last visit. It was a wonderful time for the occasion. Pricing was a bit high for the food, but I think on a non holiday, it would be even better. Giving 5 stars. Very pleased and this place will remain on my list.

Had high hopes as we have been to many other LSC restaurants but this place was a miss. The bread plate on our table was overtly dirty when we sat down. We ordered an appetizer that included chips that were stale. Food was otherwise ok. 3.5 stars at best

Dinner for NYE. Appetizers included shrimp cocktail and caprese salad. Both were disappointing. The shrimp appeared to be frozen, pre cooked shrimp and the sauce tasted from a jar. On their fb page, they had a photo of the caprese salad on a rectangular plate with a bit of arugula and several tomatoes and mozzarella balls, what was receive was a salad bowl of arugula with a few tomatoes and mozzarella balls. The pesto was very good. Entrées were: Chilean Sea Bass with Roasted Vegetables and Broccolini and Wild Mushroom Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Spinach. The Sea Bass was way over cooked, to the point of it not even being finished. Potatoes and vegetable were fine. Chicken was fine but not exciting. Mashed potatoes were fine but did lack a little in flavor. Garlic spinach was good and had a nice flavor. We did express our disappointments upon being asked how things were by the floor manager. Dessert was the Bourbon Pear with Vanilla Bean Gelato. It was delicious. The gelato had a wonderful vanilla flavor. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive, maintaining a smile even knowing we were displeased with our food. She was sweet. I was excited to learn the black bean burger was back. Was quite disappointed when the Impossible Burger replaced it some time ago. My advice is to go it but get a burger and fries. Their burgers are their highlight.

Well we were going to a show and our very nice wait staff let us know in advance for us to eat and make the show we should order maybe the flatbreads or salads- we went with the flatbreads and they were not good. Not tasty at all- comparable to a bad frozen pizza at best- disappointed

Service was amazing! Food wasn’t up to par as usual. Husband had fish tacos that were very try and I decided to try the new mushroom chicken. This dish was very bland and flavorless. Best part of the night was the new apple churros we had for desert. We will still continue to come, one of our favorite date night places. Just didn’t hit the spot this time.

Have been to the Pour House multiple times and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Server was attentive and excellent, overall the food was really good, only cons were the French onion soup was odd, tasted like it had Stove Top dressing seasoning, and it did take quite some time to get our food - but it was a busy Saturday night, so that was pretty much a given.

Traveling through, stopped in Chillicothe and found this gastropub. They accommodated us by moving our reservation up when they had a cancellation. I had an old fashioned to start (an interesting and tasty twist on the classic cocktail), and the Cajun pasta with chicken. Pasta had good flavor (I might have preferred a bit more spice), but the chicken was a bit dry and the whole dish was served barely warm. My wife really enjoyed the fish tacos (mahi-mahi). Service was friendly and efficient. It is a good option when in Chillicothe and we would definitely dine there again.
