Jollity

Per usual, Jollity hit it out of the park with our meal last night! Our server suggested the perfect cocktails for both me and my husband after we told her what type of drinks we like. My "Oscar Winning Tears" was sweet (like I requested) and his was smoky and less sweet.All 5 of the dishes we shared were top notch, but my two standouts were 1. the Black Rice, Blistered Winter Veg, Cress, Miso + Cashew Vin and 2. the Pork Ossobuco, Farm Veg, White Bean Cassoulet, Sauce Charcuterie. Delicious!Service was, as always, impeccable! Special shoutout to inclusivity with their 2 very clean non-gender bathrooms.

Stopped in before a show we were seeing in Dayton. The service is multiple shared plates, and we ordered mainly what our waitress recommended. The food was delicious and the vibe is very casual which was amazing. I'd definitely try this place again whenever I'm in Dayton

Heard this was the best restaurant in Dayton, and it lives up to the hype! The ambiance is very casual for such a high-end menu. Our waitress was super cool and we walked us through the menu and how it's made up of smaller, more shareable plates. We also heard that the menu changes seasonally, so the dishes we ordered are probably no longer available. The short rib was insanely tender. The Brussels sprouts were very rich with their barbecue flavor. I loved the miso corn cake so much - sweet and flavorful and a great appetizer. We also loved the cocktails!

It's a small road trip from Cincinnati . It's a small gem in fire district. Reservations are highly recommended, seating is limited and they do have some bar seating . The Brussel sprouts which are a crowd favorite , were flavorful . The lamb burger was pretty good it was something sweet on it but not sure if it were in the bun or the toppings . If you want fries, It does come à la carte. My biggest gripe is them not having ketchup for fries but I went with it.( which was an interesting choice) they do offer aioli. The steak was cooked to perfection. Drinks were okay , but made it easy waiting on the food. I didn't love the smoke coming from the kitchen but exposed kitchens are cool .

This place has a great vibe! It's cool and the wine selection was pretty decent. I'll be back to try the food options.

We had a show to go to at the Victoria so we did dinner here. It's different and it's delicious!It's small plates so you order several things. I had the Charred cabbage, the Smoked mushrooms and the Japanese chicken.The charred cabbage was a big wedge of cabbage grilled with great seasonings. The mushrooms were Tulip mushrooms deliciously smoked with wonderful seasonings. The Japanese chicken was breaded and fried with also great seasonings. But it was a bit chewy. My SO had salmon, Brussel sprouts and confit fennel. I tried the salmon and the Brussel sprouts. Both were delicious but the Brussels were a bit too salty.Overall, we loved it. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

This is hands down the best restaurant I have tried in Dayton, Ohio when it comes to food. Unique atmosphere sitting at the bar/kitchen top while also having very tasty, well portioned and unique dishes. The kimchee pancake was phenomenal and the Brussels sprout dish was unique compared to other places. Note they vary their menu often so sometimes the dishes I mention may not be available. I wish I knew about this place earlier.

Loved it. We had been wanting to try it. Vibe is very comfortable and cool. They have an open kitchen which I love. I had the lamb burger with fries. Honestly, it came out very modestly, but was so good. So fresh and flavorful. It tasted like it was prepared by a chef who knew what they were doing. We'll definitely be back to this Dayton gem. Desert was awesome too!

Always an outstanding meal at Jollity! Tonight we worked our way through the appetizer menu. I'm not sure which was my favorite but the Speck Toast was amazing. Sweet, salty, crunchy , savory. They make the food in such a small area, barely able to turn around and they are just quietly and professionally turning out the best plates to be found in Dayton.

Delicious food, amazing service. Made our Dayton experiments amazing. Right-Sized portions with exquisite preparation.
