The prices here are high which you expect in a town like this but they should deliver a moist chicken breast on a sandwich for the price.

It had a bacon jam which complemented the cheese, all while not detracting from the delicious beef. My table mate had the beef short ribs; tender, rich, and a good portion size. The potato salad side was tasty enough to make me wish for a larger scoop. Our two cocktails were top-shelf quality, although the Old Fashioned's cherry was an obliterated mush. The lacking star is due to the noise level once the live music kicked in. The inside seating is already a loud echo chamber of hard surfaces, but adding the near ear-splitting band out in the tent made all conversation impossible. I saw several tent tables clear out when the music started. I like live music, and the band was good. But half the decibels would have been more than enough. I think my ears are still ringing two days later. Service was good as our waitress barely kept up with the dinner crowd surge and a new and uncooperative POS system. Hopefully that will fall in line and give the staff a break! Looking forward to future offerings from their talented chef. Will definitely visit next time I'm in the area.

That was ok for me because there was live music, college football, and bar to keep me entertained. When we were seated, we ordered the Bavarian pretzels, nachos, and drinks.

We chose this restaurant since it was next to our hotel. It was recommended by a relative we were…read morevisiting. The interior is on the dark side, invoking old steakhouse vibes, but not really a modern/updated feel to it. We started with a couple of cocktails which took a while to get. There was only one bartender and she was backed up in orders at 6pm on a weeknight. For dinner we ordered country fried steak, salmon, and pasta Alfredo (a vegetarian in out party), all delicious! The salads we had before the main course came with a croissant drizzled with honey, yum! The service wasn't the best, I think our waitress was new. She didn't get my water request right, I asked for no ice, three times, and still got it wrong. She was sweet and did check on us, though we couldn't understand her since she spoke so softly. We paid cash, which included the tip. She came back after taking our money, to ask us if we wanted the change when we gave her $130 for a $97 bill ($100 bill plus a 10 & 20). We couldn't understand how paying that much more in cash confused her, hence assuming she was new. But overall I think our experience was pleasant. I wish they had more vegetarian options, but I would patronize this establishment again.

If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

Their old-fashioned was excellent, and their wine menu is great! The entire experience was worthy of repeating! It's fun to find good, fun dining experiences in Seneca.

The sauces for the steak were excellent. The steak was good, and while it can be fun to cook your dinner yourself right there at your table I think I'd do something different next time. I found the Bravas potatoes sauce a little too reminiscent of a zesty ketchup style dressing, they are not for me. I had two old fashioneds. A smoked version , which was very flavorful (albeit it pricey as I opted for a higher end bourbon) and a lavender old fashioned, which had a few fruit notes. I preferred the smoked.

All of the drinks I've had (espresso martini, margarita, cosmo, and redline) are very strong! I recommend ordering off the signature drink section (on the front part of the menu) because they are crafted and taste better than the generic bar drinks (on the back bottom part of the menu). My husband loves the raspberry sour. The place has indoor and outdoor seating with ambient lighting. The decor and vibes are nice, mature, and upscale. There are two single stall bathrooms available for use. The hours are unique, so I'd keep that in mind if you're planning on spending time here (Tues-Sat 5-10pm). Great place for parties of 2-6ish! We have enjoyed starting and ending our nights of drinking here.

I am not local to the area and I do wish I could revisit this establishment. My bar fly days have been long gone, yet I guess "closing the bar" is part of my genetic structure, and these things don't go away. It's not something that I intend on doing, but the conversation flows with me and around me, and people just don't want me to go home! So, we ended up hanging out with one of the owners, and this gave me an insight to the whole idea behind this concept. If you are interested in local, unique products, and search for new flavors, this is the place to find excellent quality drinks. There's in-house gin and bitters, and that is all I will say. Well, one more thing I will say: don't be surprised if this bar becomes a national destination. The bar itself is classy and inviting, the music is great, the crowd is cool, but the hospitality is above tops. This place has it all and deserves a visit. Closing statement: very few places deserve 6 stars, this is one of them.
