This place has a nice vibe. We went in for a late dinner and sat at the kitchen bar, which was fun. I was most excited to try the Brussel sprouts but was a little disappointed. It's an amazing presentation but they are just a little too . . . much, for me. Literally, a friend and I shared the dish and I still took a large portion home, and figuratively, it was just so rich and sweet, my palette got tired of the dish after just five bites or so. The beet salad was interesting. But the scallops were fantastic - I don't think I've ever had a scallop more perfectly cooked! The house sangria was very tasty. The service was excellent as well. There are several other dishes I'd like to try from their menu and I'm impressed with the number of gluten free and vegan or vegetarian dishes.
Expect exceptional attention to detail, from fancy tea presentations to creative house salads, making for an unforgettable dining experience.

The BEST restaurant I've been to in Dayton! This place goes above and beyond any expectation that I have for any restaurants. The hot tea was served in a French press, they created a house salad for me that was vegan and gluten free, and the rosemary potatoes and the zucchini were so absolutely amazing that I can't wait to order them again soon. You can see the little extra special touches in the pictures like the fact that they bring the fancy teacup with a little plate with a stirring spoon, a glass jar of honey, and the most delicious salad dressing I think I've ever had in my life was served in a glass dessert cup with spoon. I sent a tip to the cook, and I have only done that maybe twice in my entire 46 years. You seriously cannot go wrong here. I am ultra-picky, have lots of allergies, and cannot think of a place I'd rather eat.
Mudlick Tap House is located in a great building in downtown. The building has been home to a variety of businesses including Aquarius dance bar. I like that they left the cozy entrance as it is. The inside was redone in rustic wood making it a down home feel. The only gripe is how noisy it gets due the acoustics of the room. In the end it is a bar..but a bar that offers chef quality food made in house and carefully prepared and presented.
The menu is eclectic and unique and the chef throws in a weekend specialty menu that brings the available food options to the top.
I had the Ozar Salmon over a bed of wild rice, with corn, purple potatoes. I normally don't like wild rice but this was recipe is delicious. The flavors were perfect in the potatoes. The texture was also good.
We started with the deviled eggs. I love any place that offers deviled eggs. However, I did think the mustard was a bit heavy and the radish garnish didn't do much for the flavor. They were still great!
My friend had the gluten free mac cheese with a side of scallops which she said were some of the best she has had.
Our waiter was great and knew the menu well. He also likes the scallops.
Overall, is say this place is a must go once the again and again. The spirit menu was good offering a range drinks. Old fashion made with Bullet sticks out. They also gave Ginger ale.
This place is good for small or large groups. The bar us good for the solo experience. O yeah..they have a patio. I can see how it can fun at night.
One negative experience with Mudlick is their website. The menus link goes nowhere. It could use some uplifting all around.
Great atmosphere and on-point salads, but a more inclusive menu would really elevate the experience.

Would like to see a wider menu that is more inclusive of dietary preferences (vegan, dairy free, gluten free etc.) But the salad I ordered was on point and the atmosphere is really great. I will absoluetly be back.
