Restaurants near Independence Dam State Park

This is our third time at The Standard and our first with other couples. Our waiter, was fantastic. He was on point with drinks, coursed out the food nicely, and was precisely as attentive as needed. The food was delicious. I had the short rib, and my wife had the swordfish. The fish was one of the best seafood dishes I have ever had. The short rib was tender and savory, and when combined with the polenta, it created a wonderful bite. We will be back! Thanks so much.

Delicious food, great environment, and reasonable prices. Chief knows what they are doing. Defiance is lucky to have them in the area.

They do what they can to make the service excellant!

It is a nice dining experience, the staff is experienced and costumer focused. We will return!

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.
