About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
This restaurant housed in a former bank building in the heart of downtown Tipp City offers quality dining in a small-town setting. The decor is warm and welcoming and is a delight for the senses. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere while the full bar allows patrons a relaxing stop while awaiting a fabulous meal. The inviting atmosphere encourages relaxed conversation. You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice. A visit is a must and will be the first of many.

    We have been coming here for several years. The food is consistently excellent and the menu is creative but recognizable. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a french country Bistro meets early twentieth century small town bank (which it once was). The staff is genuine, friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a a special evening out or just a nice dining experience with your friends, this is worth the trip to Tipp City.

    Zach always makes our experience so enjoyable. Exceptional service. Top notch food. Could compete with any restaurant in the country. Soups are delicious. Our favorite dish is the pork ribeye. It is tender and perfectly paired with a pepper jelly that has you savoring each and every bite.
