Overlook Restaurant - Virtues Golf Club

We had a reservation for dinner for ten people. After reading the guidelines for golfing attire, I had high expectations for the restaurant. I assumed if management was particular about their patrons they should be equally particular about their product and service. I was wrong. The service was slow. Very slow. The restaurant was gross with worn out furniture and dirty carpet that Dave Longaberger probably picked out. There were towels or something in the rafters above our table. There were weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk and in the flower bed areas. I mean, it's a golf course. Landscaping is supposed to be a big deal there. I expected more of a Granville Inn experience and got more of a Denny's experience. Actually, the last Denny's I went to was cleaner and I didn't have to worry about something falling into my food. The food was okay but that's about it.

Came here with my brother because a good friend of ours who is a country singer Bryan Lewis was singing, if we knew we could've made reservations we would've. So we sat in the lobby area overlooking where he was singing which to me it was a great position we weren't in anyone's way or they were in ours. Before he sang we ate at the bar area & since it was Friday we had the A.Y.C.E fish fry with fries, the fries where their spin on Joe Joe fries that were good, the fish was the tail end of Cod according to the waitress which was fried to perfection if I believe they used a panco breading which gave it a thick hearty crunch the portions were huge & a lot of fries wish I gave tannen a picture of the food, I guess I was so hungry I polished the 2 quickly then I just ordered 1 more fish & I by then I've had my fill, I wished I remembered our waitresses name, she was great, very attentive even when we moved to outside to the lobby area when Bryan Lewis started to sing. Next time Bryan is singing here I'm going to remind my brother to R.S.V.P for us & hope they'll have the fish still if not I'll check the menu for what's the specialty of the evening...

Outstanding food and staff. Best burger in Licking County. Great view of the course. Make a reservation and come on out.

Great food and great service! Best thing is the view of the golf course and surrounding property! Love it!

It was a blustery April 17th in Ohio. A friend was taking us to wherever we wanted to go for lunch. We chose Overlook at Virtues Golf Club. Our server was amazing. Our table by the fire was quiet and warm. The views of the rolling countryside with high winds and spitting snow a perfect counterpoint.Our waitress was from "central casting". She was professional and personable, thoughtful and fun. The food was well presented and delicious. This venue is the best kept secret in central Ohio. The three of us were 100% happy from beginning to end.

Don't go here for lunch. Very limited menu. Just sandwiches. Service slow. Used to come here years ago under different ownership and it was better

The food was great! The service was excellent! And the view is fabulous! It is 5 minutes from our house which makes it even better!

Who would know how the food is? Waited and waited to be seated. Finally got up and walked out. Hostess didn't have a clue what was going on

Atmosphere and location is amazing. Food is good. Service is horrible! My husband and I were seated at 1 of the 3 occupied tables in the dining room. Many high school staff were walking throughout the restaurant with no customer interaction. Took 20 minutes for a cocktail from the bar and waitress response was " I don't know what's happening with your drink." Our drippy spinach artichoke dip arrived with no plates. Dinner arrived 40 minutes later, only after we inquired where our waitress and food was. No condiments until they were slammed onto our table after we asked for them. No interaction with our waitress or the other teen staff, except when we got up from the table to leave...3 of them abruptly showed up to clean of our table almost faster than we stood to leave! Patrons were entering and exiting the stairs at the bar area and staff abruptly ran into them or forced them to back up. Staff loudly complained about a family entering the restaurant at 8:00 and the manager yelled, "That' it. If anyone else comes in turn them away!" My husband and I are in the customer service industry and we were shocked by what we saw! So sad to see what this amazing place has become! Hire adults and people that care!

Our parties of 4-6 have eaten at the Overlook Restaurant numerous times over the past 18 months and will say this is our go to place when we want great food, great service and one of the most splendid views in the area.So, what has been our favorite meal so far? They have had a grilled pork chop meal that is the best I have ever eaten! Their Virtue Burger is what I get on a regular basis, and it's one of the best in the area.So, how do I rate the Overlook Restaurant? The food gets a 5, the service gets a 5, the value gets a 5 and the facility gets a 5! This one is easy to rate a 5 overall.We have guests in this weekend, so we will be headed for the Overlook Restaurant for a Sunday afternoon meal. I think I'll have that burger - unless the pork chop is available!
