We’re glad you’re here. The lot where we constructed The Syndicate was Jackson’s News Stand from 1946-1993. As you step inside, you’ll see many decorative and historic features from its former life. A large, custom-built bar topped with salvaged glass windows and large quartz countertops resembles a New York-style newsstand, while the walls are adorned in local Ohio newspapers from years past. Stop by and see us for brunch, happy hour, dinner, or check our entertainment schedule and come see a show. Catering and event rental is also our specialty featuring experienced staff and gourmet fresh food.

    I ordered a steak, medium. It was medium well. The eggs were good and potatoes were top notch. When I pay $60 for a meal, I really expect my meat to be cooked to my liking. They have a new chef from what I’ve heard, and they have taken some good menu items off. So that was disappointing. But I highly recommend the mimosa flight, and / or any other cocktail. 5th time coming here and I love this place. Just wish they could check the meat before serving.

    Overall the food was great. The French toast was wonderful, it was the second time I have had it. The service was rather slow. We had to wait for the waitress to finish keying info into the computer and it took her forever. Probably 20 minutes. Then our food took 30 to 40 minutes and they were not that busy. The first time I was there our waitress was wonderful and we got our food quickly and they were busy. It happens, so we will be back. Hopefully service will be a little better.

    Food was next level good. Four people and we all LOVED each of our entrees and our waitress was exceptional. We called her the waitress ninja because she came and went, refilled beverages, gave extra napkins, etc. with the stealth of a ninja. Well worth the hour drive from Dayton. We will come back.
    The SyndicateResponded on October 31, 2022
    Thank you for the wonderful review, Estes! We're thrilled to hear that you loved your entrees and waitress and that driving an hour from Dayton was worth it. We're looking forward to having you back soon!

    We had an excellent meal at The Syndicate to celebrate my wife's birthday. The drinks were delicious and beautiful, the food so tasty and in generous portions. Only critique was that it was very warm in the restaurant which made it a little hard to enjoy our evening.
    The SyndicateResponded on October 26, 2022
    Thank you for the positive review, Andrew! So glad you enjoyed the meals and drinks. Your feedback regarding the temperature has definitely been noted and this is something we strive to balance in these days and weeks of constantly changing weather. Please always feel free to make a note of this to your server or any other staff member and we will do what we can to make it more comfortable!

    Wow! Can’t believe we hadn’t found the Syndicate until now. Everything about it was outstanding. The mushroom ravioli appetizer was so good we wish it were an entree. We had shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles for our entrees and the fried chicken was THE best we’ve ever had. We finished with desserts that also were very good. We were lucky enough to meet Elaine and she was the most personable and knowledgeable server we’ve had in a long time. We are already planning a return visit within the next week.
    The SyndicateResponded on October 26, 2022
    Thank you so much for the outstanding review! We are so happy that you loved the food and your server. We will pass along this feedback to her as well as our Chef. Please always feel free to order appetizers as entrees or vice versa, and to ask your server for any requests that will make your dining experience this top-notch every time. Can't wait to see you back soon!
