- AAnnaIndiana •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoConsistently good. I ate there for lunch and enjoyed the mixed grill. The chicken was fantastic and it also comes with a 4 oz filet and crab cake. I wish this pairing was available for dinner!More infoRuth’s Chris Steak House - Fort WaynePrice: Very Expensive• American• Fort Wayne•4.8
- AAnnaVIPToledo •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoService from our entry at the door to the season’s greeting when we left was exemplary! Even with a full house, our server was attentive, the drinks wonderful and the food was all amazing. The only complaint would be the volume, but I believe that was mostly due to the holiday dining crowd. We will definitely return!More infoThe StandardPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Sylvania•4.9

- BBillToledo •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoHad 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.More infoSweetwater ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Defiance•4.7
- DDennis AND MarciaVIPToledo •52 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe 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.More infoThe Dark Horse Social ClubPrice: Moderate• American• Defiance•4.8
