On a whim, Joe and I decided to go to the Overlook for dinner. A.J.'s was in the capable hands of our son, Alex and friend Devin. What a disappointment!
The carpet was stained badly and in need of replacing. The whole place looked in need of an overhaul. It was very busy, but we were led to a table with a view. We ordered drinks, and the combo appetizer. I decided to have the chicken livers with baked potato and vegetable of the day which was carrots. Joe had the Beef Manhattan
The combo appetizer was adequate, potato skins, mushrooms, and fried pickles. It was what you can get at any other place. My chicken livers were plentiful and tasted fine, the carrots, however, were canned. The baked potato was more like a boiled in the skin potato and came with two pats of butter and a container of sour cream. Joe's sandwich tasted ok but looked terrible.
Service was very friendly but extremely spotty. I sat for 8 minutes with an empty glass, she only asked if I wanted another drink when she brought the entrees out. We had to wait for our dinner rolls, when I asked if we got dinner rolls, she said they were in the over.
The servers were all wearing T shirts which read on the back. "fine dining on the Ohio" or something like that.
We took our drinks down the Walters Pub to enjoy the view. I was hoping to get a coffee, but they didn't serve coffee downstairs. So, we finished our drinks and left.

The view - amazing, but "fine dining" it ain't. Just what you would get at a million other places.
We will probably take our friends there from England, but we will eat at Walter's.
