Amanda Shaffer: Order the french dip with lamb and goat cheese. If you want beef and swiss, go Phillipe's instead. Cole's also serves Guiness floats and bourbon pecan pie. Great decor, food is a bit overpriced. Read more.
Robert Moran: Get the Bourbon pecan pie a la mode.
Christine Company: The scotch buck cures all ills.
