Kennedy was truly amazing, very friendly and provided wonderful service on a Christmas Eve. The French onion soup was done perfectly and was not too pleased with the crab stuffed mushrooms. However, my New York strip was done to my liking and the dessert that Kennedy recommended was absolutely wonderful.

Had a nice dinner at the Sweetwater Chop House. Our second visit. I chose the Wagyu Steak and it was cooked to my tastes. Started the dinner with the Brussels Sprouts. I do not eat Brussels Sprouts anywhere except here. The sauce it is cooked in makes them palatable. No dessert this trip, but I would like to make a separate visit just for dessert. The others in my party had no complaints on the dining experience. Made reservation but was not necessary.

We have two favorite places in Defiance, Ohio to eat and this is one of them. If you are from out of town, it is worth a trip to visit and eat at Dark Horse Social Club. The staff and owners are so nice. The menu is changed several times a year, so there is always something different to try.

The food and service were generally very good. I would have rated this higher, except there was a piece of plastic in the middle of our cheesecake.
