The Sherman House,
Batesville’s Historic Boutique Destination Gets a New Name:

HPH Hospitality announced today that the Sherman House has been renamed to The Sherman to commemorate complete renovations and the reopening of this historic destination.

The Sherman will include both the original two-story building of The Sherman House as well as the adjacent four-floor building, formerly the American Furniture Company.

Renovations beginning in the summer of 2016 updated the restaurant, meeting space, and the 22 hotel rooms and added the Black Forest bar. Further renovations ongoing in 2017 will focus on turning the first floor of the old factory into a large German Gasthof or pub as an ideal locale for sports fans and families.

Ultimately, The Sherman will offer several new venues for guests to meet, entertain, celebrate, stay over as well as shop.

    Just returned from dining here. Food was excellent! Saurkraut balls and sauce were great and Best Wurst dinner was terrific. We'll be coming back.

    We flew into Cincinnati to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary and drove to Batesville for our special evening since my wife and I meet I this city. We had asked for a private booth prior to scheduling the trip but once we arrived, we were told that the booths were first come, first serve and our table that were to be seated was adjacent to the requested booth that we requested. Instead of celebrating our anniversary at the Sherman House, we drive one hour back to Cincinnati for a nice dinner on the river. Do not make this restaurant a destination for a special occasion.

    My husband enjoyed his food. Mine was bland and cold. Our waitress must have been Houdini because she disappeared. We had to ask another server for refills on our drinks. She did reappear to give us our bill. Last time we will visit.

    The food was superb. Each one of my group ordered a different entree, and each one was delicious. The bar is cozy, and the dining room has white tablecloths, something seldom seen today. It is a charming restaurant with marble floors and quaint booth seating, as well as tables. The staff is very attentive, and our food arrived hot, and nicely plated.

    Was not aware that the old Sherman House had reopened. Drove one hour, one way, to get there. Can't wait to go back.

    We really enjoyed our visit. The German food was delicious and the portions huge. We didn't like that we had a reservation and were sat by the kitchen. We will clarify that next time. But definitely glad they re-opened. Sorry they deleted the fried chicken, fried biscuits with apple butter and tall cozy booths.

    First time visitor. The 75 mile drive was well worth it. Fantastic atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Looking forward to a return trip.

    Was so disappointed that the Sauerbraten is no longer available. Neither was the fresh catch of the day!
