This restaurant is outstanding. When we come to the lodge we do not even consider eating anywhere else. The food is delicious and the service is excellent, The staff is friendly and attentive to our needs. We like the ambience of the dining and bar area. It reminds me of the old fashion lodges with all the modern amenities.

My lady friend and I came to the Red Lobster after visiting the Adena Mansion in Chillicothe. Using the email Priority Seating were seated quite quickly. However, we did have to wait quite a long time for our dinners but there two large groups there and our waitress was running herself ragged but was still attentive to us in spite of that.
