Comment on The Unexpected: ZINC Brasserie, Sandusky, Ohio

Thank you, Caesar, for your commens. Haven't been to Sandusky for awhile, when I do go there I will revisit Zinc to check out if things have changed. However, I stand behind my comments that when I was there the food was fantastic, the service was knowledgeable and friendly and the tab was reasonable.

Comment on Stonehenge, no, really, there it is over there...

Keith, thank you for your helpful comments. Hope I didn't leave the impression that I disliked the less travelled feel of Stonehenge. I love the fact that it's not heavily signed and landscaped - the natural way in which Stonehenge is presented is totally in keeping with the site itself. Would visit it any cold day I'm in the area.

Stonehenge IS signposted ... although on the brown, tourist-attraction signs that might be considered a little 'sub fusc' for some tastes.

And, as for 'There it is ... over there!' ... well, you know what the road's like in that area. It's notorious for 'rear enders' ... I live in Amesbury, and try to avoid that particular stretch if I can.

Best,

Keith

Thank you for the comments and the location assistance. Not nit picking at all, anything that makes this interesting and fun establishment easier to find is much appreciated.

Not to nit pick but the neighborhood that Flying Bison resides is called Riverside.

The west side is typically saved for those areas south of Black Rock which is just south of Riverside.

My favorite brew from them is the Buffalo Lager but Aviator Red is by far their most popular.

As for distribution when I took the tour over a year ago they were mostly limited to Western NY but were making headways at certain bars or establishments in places like Pittsburgh, Cleveland.

Lastly their mustaches are amazing... I could imagine them rolling barrels around without much imagination.

Gary, thank you for your comments. Will be back in K'ville soon and hope to be able to visit downtown again, TRIO is definitely worth a return trip.

Comment on Lost opportunities in Industry, Pennsylvania

Thank you for your comments and for giving me a little background of which I was not aware.

I can only comment on the food, service and circumstances the night I was there. I did not know that the location was new and I appreciate your taking the time to point that out but, nonetheless, the food and service the night I was there were very bad. The prices were low, I'm not sure saying the food is bad but the prices are low would have made any difference either. I would have rather paid a little more and had better service and a server who knew the menu and knew which beers were available. I cannot comment on the entertainment because there was none the night we were there. A band was setting up but left and did not return while we were at the restaurant.

The location is fantastic, the view incredible, the building a treasure. I certainly hope that the brothers are able to put something together that will take advantage of the many pluses the site has to offer.

Thanks also for letting me know the origin of the name, I certainly salute those who have served in that elite branch of the service. Should the restaurant be revived and that name kept, I would suggest using some sort of logo or signage that would explain it as it is not a name that makes one immediately think of good food in a great river location; that being said, the name could certainly be developed into a recognizable brand.

Best of luck to the brothers in perhaps reopening this venue. We will check back in the next time we are in the area and review it again if it should be open.
