The Colony — Restaurant in Gallipolis

The atmosphere was very warm and inviting which brought about high expectations on the food, I was excited to order my food. So excited that I didn't even notice I waited 37 minutes for a waitress to take my order. During my time waiting in an elevated and divine bliss the waitress interrupted my transcendent meditation upon the promises of good food. She then asked me what I would like to order.

The Colony has a great atmosphere and ambiance, and the service was great. However, the food was terrible. We spent $60 on two steaks that were overcooked and flavorless. They looked like they had been boiled and then thrown on a George Foreman grill to get the charred lines. The T-bone steak was incredibly thin, and the sirloin was dry.
