Jollity is a very aptly named, up-beat restaurant with small menu, craft entrees and good vibes all…read morearound. The inside is a bit small but cozy with the kitchen in broad view. The menu rotates roughly every quarter, and given the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, the selection is a bit limited -- handful of vegetarian small plates, a few meat and a few seafood options. For the non-drinkers, they had two non-alcoholic cocktails available, but no NA beer. Beware though, as the NA cocktails were still around $11, which I always find frustrating as they are basically flavored sugar water. We tried the blackhawk beef burger and koji-aged ribeye. The blackhawk burger was a smash burger (thin patties, melted cheese), that tasted delicious. The ribeye was just as expected and cooked as ordered. The star of each of the entrees, however, was the thin cut, crispy fries. Good thing the fries were delicious because the sauces that came with it were quite bland -- would've preferred ketchup. For dessert we tried the bay leaf cheesecake. It was alright, had a subtle smokey flavor that I think threw us off a bit (although that was obviously the point given the bay leaf). Our server Renee was friendly and everything was prompt. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the food was pretty good. Although, given the limited number of options on the menu, you'll definitely want to look at it ahead of time to make sure there is something that suits your palate.

The moment we stepped in, the modern aesthetic hit perfectly - clean lines, mood lighting, and just enough buzz to feel energetic without drowning out conversation. Our family gathering was greeted immediately by staff who seemed genuinely stoked to have us there. Major points for making a large group feel welcome! The menu is refreshingly concise - none of that overwhelming novel-length situation that makes you second-guess yourself three times. Their drink selection strikes that perfect balance too - enough variety in wines/beers/cocktails to satisfy everyone. They've got some non-alcoholic options as well. We started with the Kimchi Pancake and Brussels Sprouts for the table. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about the pancake (kimchi can be hit or miss for me), but this was a revelation. The kimchi flavor was present but not overwhelming - just enough kick that played perfectly with the shiso and wasabi remoulade. And those Brussels? It's packed with flavor and disappeared in approximately 3.5 seconds... Maybe less! For my main course, went with my cousin's recommendation - the Koji Aged Ribeye. When it arrived I initially thought "that's it?" But this steak is deceptive. The thick cut topped with Togarashi Butter was significantly more filling than it looked. Cooked to absolute perfection, and that butter situation on top? A flavor bomb of sweet-spicy-savory that had me contemplating licking the plate - don't worry, I didn't! My taste buds were begging for more even when my stomach waved the white flag. That's when you know it's good. If you're anywhere near downtown Dayton, make Jollity a priority stop. Not sure when I'll be back in Ohio again, but would definitely have this resto on my return list.

I loved the old school supper club vibes -- low lighting, dark wood interior. Our server left a bit to be desired. She wasn't particularly engaged or helpful, and I had to ask her if I could provide my allergen information when placing our order because she didn't ask. I also had to ask for my horseradish sauce that I ordered when my entree arrived. I ordered my prime rib medium rare and it was more on the rare side, but not so much that I sent it back. There is a ton of food with each entree -- salad, sides, rolls. I loved the dill ranch dressing on the salad and would have taken a bottle of that to go. Server was agreeable about splitting the check a few ways, which was helpful. Overall, I can see the appeal as a Dayton institution, but this wouldn't be my first choice for a dinner out if I'm back in the area.

So.....he contacted them (from his home in Washington, DC), and asked if he could purchase a gift certificate as an anniversary gift. Paragon's response exemplified customer disservice. The employee with whom he spoke told him "they only do gift certificates in person." Riiiiiight.... :-( [I'm channeling Shelley Berman's skit "The Morning After the Night Before]. When he asked if he might just give Paragon his credit card info to charge our anniversary dinner against, he was told "call earlier on a weekday to see if they could do that." NOPE NOPE NOPE. Instead, he EASILY obtained a gift certificate for us to the Oakwood Club, which we received via email last night. I guess we're returning to the Oakwood Club, where true customer service is provided.

Time warp to the 1960's In a Good Way…read more... Kudos to the lady who owns and Loves Treasure Island. It may have been in the 70's since our last visit, and we shall soon return. Ambience of a 1960's steak house, and great service, and thankfully with a full bar, very quiet. If one has not been in a while, so visit and enjoy. A refreshing relief from the Loud sports bar, and interesting menu and food. Corn Fritter with Maple Syrup is highly recommended and now a favorite of my wife's. Seafood Platter - $29.95 - One deviled crab in the shell, two jumbo fried shrimp, two frog legs, three fried scallops and one piece of cod is listed as today's catch, but seems to be frozen, and can only be fried; we passed of this dish. Ribeye is Not among the Best in Dayton, but is acceptable - we prefer a much thicker Ribeye. An excellent surprise is the Center Cut Pork Chops (2) $34.95. My wife feasted on this, and took second chop home -- very good choice. Choices - yes and abundance of "something" that looked interesting, and this is reason for our return. The setting in lots of concrete and amongst factories is not inviting, but park the car and explore. First level is dark, and we like this. Maneuver through the quiet, filled bar to the very small dining area, and view the menu. There is a sandwich/salad portion to the menu, but this held no interest to us. Perhaps, if one is up to a bit of adventure, be prepared to appreciate the 1960's all over again....

Every dish I've gotten and every plate I've seen come out of the kitchen is amazing and a wonderful sight. The duck is a personal favorite. It's always perfectly cooked with the right amount of pink and paired with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. It also makes an amazing leftover since the portions are so big. The steak though is a dining staple. The Delmonico Ribeye shines at both a rare and medium rare cook and is just so flavorful. That's the steak I dream of and can't wait to have again. The servers are attentive, polite, and helpful when you ask for their thoughts on which dish to order. The bar is quick and makes some great drinks (based on friends' input). Salar isn't so upscale that you can only go for special occasions. It makes for a good mid-week dinner, meetup with friends and coworkers, but it can also be a treat yourself meal.
