“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.“
“Highly recommend! Food and drinks were incredible, presented beautifully with amazing flavor. We had the Crispy Falafel, Potato Gnocchi, Short Rib, and finished with the Ricotta & Honey! All dishes were amazing but the Crispy Falafel and Ricotta & Honey were our favorites. Our waiter, Blair, was top notch! Blair gave us background on the menu and restaurant, made recommendations for ordering, and had the most welcoming and kind demeanor. Even provided directions to the place we were headed next! We will be back, can't wait to try more of their menu!“
“Frankie's was outstanding! Our server was the best. She was so attentive, great recommendations and knew exactly what would suit the 4 of us. We throughly enjoyed our time. Thank you for allowing us the time catch up and not rushing us out the door. Oh and the New York strip, RUN don't walk, it is a must!“
“My partner and I came across this place while driving by and decided to try it out. The coffee and food are delicious. We got the prosciutto and brie sandwich and can’t recommend it enough! Staff were so friendly and welcoming. I wish we lived closer but next time we’re in town we’ll definitely be back!“
“Our server, Elijah, was great. He paced the meal well and did not rush us. The food was well prepared. One in our party had the swordfish special. The other had the shrimp scampi which was flavorful as well. Sitting on the enclosed back patio with the fire pit was a nice touch as well as the band that was playing music that was not too loud either. The restaurant is certainly a nice spot and we will be back.“
“Went for the Thursday night wine and cheese pairing with a few friends. The experience was great. The staff did an amazing job explaining the different wines and pairings. Was very willing to answer any questions we had. They even had gluten free crackers for those with allergies. It is great to have such a wonderful wine bar in Pleasant Ridge. Look forward to going again!“
“The only wine bar in Cincy I'll go to, this place is fantastic. Super chill, laid back atmosphere with some excellent wine to boot (I'll admit, I've never tried their food although the pics look great!). Everything is affordable, the owners are great to chat with and they genuinely make you feel like they're just happy you're there. A few friends and I have made use of their game shelf and even brought our own board game to play one night! Never any complaints when I spend the evening at Mio Vino!“
“Best Service I've had all year. The appetizers and dessert were phenomenal.Full disclosure, I found my penne dish a little dry, but the ingredients themselves were delicious. Do not skip ordering the bruschetta.An amazing meal that didn't leave me feeling gross. Thank “
“What a wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon. Anjou was a lovely find with top notch cocktails. Our bartender (more like STARtender), Madison was a terrific mix of friendly and knowledgeable, and made some excellent drinks for us. We started with a She-Wolf and Panacea Stelvio, followed by A Ghost of Time and Killing Moon. This place alone may be worth a trip back to Cinci ?“
“LOVE Liberty's! I recently visited twice in the same week due to how great this place is. First on a Saturday night which was busy; all the outdoor tables and the entire bar were full, we luckily were able to grab one of the couches to sit on. This visit I opted for the Non-Alcoholic Wine which was very good and tasted just like real Riesling! My friends all got classic Liberty Mules - some Moscow and some Kentucky - as well as some wine - it is so amazing this place has so many options for everyone! I came back again on a Thursday after work when they had just opened and was able to secure a spot at the bar - this time I opted for the espresso martini and WOW was it delicious! It quickly started to fill up as we were there so we were happy we had our seats secured early. Both of these times I had the same bartender who was so friendly, attentive and helped answer all our questions on the menu. She was super flexible in our ordering and always made sure our water cups were full which was greatly appreciated! Overall this place has the best of everything - atmosphere, drinks and staff - I cannot wait until I am back again!“
“We held our rehearsal dinner in the Cellar of Oakley Wines, and it far exceeded everything we could have dreamed of! The space was perfect for our ~30-person event making it feel cozy and warm. The food was incredible, and we loved the small plate, family style layout that enabled lots of networking and mingling among families. It felt more like a fun cocktail party than a formal sit-down dinner, which was exactly the vibe we wanted! The staff was amazing to work with and accommodated several food allergens. I would 100% recommend Oakley Wines for your next event!“
“Was pleasantly surprised with the small, but quaint local place. The staff and owners were very friendly and the pizza was fantastic. We enjoyed the Bellevue and the Chardonnay pizza and a big shout out too for the homemade dressings with both the Caesar and Caprese salads.“
“My friends and I are on a mission to try one new (to us) wine bar per month and we started with EMMA, it was the best decision! Such a cool space inside and the manager really gives you knowledge about the wines and how it works.. as much or as little as you want! I love the concept of pouring your own, as you get to choose from a taste, a half glass, or a full. You're able to try and enjoy many different wines at EMMA and they also have refrigerated cheeses & meats with crackers for purchase!“
“Our Adult Reading Book Club met here. This was everyone's first time visiting this location. Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. We are looking forward to returning for our Ladies night out. Marty's house salad and the Adult grilled cheese, are worth the purchase.“
“From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Our group decided to share entrees, allowing each of us to savor a variety of flavors. This approach not only heightened our culinary adventure but also fostered a sense of community at our table. The server played a pivotal role in navigating our journey through the menu. With expertise and enthusiasm, he highlighted the most popular dishes, as well as those hidden gems that are considered exceptional by regular patrons. His recommendations were spot on, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal.One standout dish was the New York strip steak, which was a masterpiece on its own. The steak was encrusted to perfection, striking a delightful balance between a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and attention to detail in its preparation.The sides were not mere accompaniments but stars in their own right. The truffle Mac n' cheese was a decadent exploration of creamy textures and luxurious flavors, while the collard greens offered a comforting, home-cooked feel with just the right amount of seasoning. Both dishes complemented the main courses beautifully, enhancing the overall dining experience.To conclude our evening on a high note, we indulged in the butter cake for dessert. This choice was far from ordinary; the cake was moist, rich, and beautifully balanced in sweetness. It was the perfect finale to an already remarkable meal.In summary, our visit to this restaurant was an unforgettable experience, marked by phenomenal food and exemplary service. The thoughtful guidance from our server, combined with the culinary excellence of the kitchen, made for a dining adventure that we will cherish and recommend to others.“
“Mom ‘n ‘em is truly a gem in Camp Washington. Their avocado toast is a personal favorite and my favorite places to get it in the city. When the weather is nice, they have a wonderful little area to sit outside. They are a little on the pricier side (a coffee and breakfast run me about $22, where as maybe other places I could get coffee and a light breakfast for around $15) but is well worth the quality of the coffee and food. Also a great place to get tined fish, if you’re a fan. Love coming here to catch up with friends or work remotely.Dietary restrictions: Milk alternatives, can alter items if u have allergies. Had a close call with their granola bc it has nuts in it, but they replaced the item with no hesitation and no charge“
“Recently rented the upstairs space for my friend's Bridal Shower and it was amazing! Great space, great music, lovely people, very accommodating & helpful... just wonderful overall! In addition to a wonderful venue experience I also have to say the wine was delicious, I highly recommend the Black Sheep Rouge, which is one of the Revel Winery wines. Deep & smooth!“
“We enjoyed a delightful lunch at The Capital Grille where we tried their salmon and Signature cheese burger. The burger was a perfect blend of flavors accompanied with delicious truffle fries. The juicy salmon complemented by the mango avocado salad. Must try the lobster bisque if on the menu. Each bite was a savory delight, and the top notch server Bijen added a wonderful touch to the meal. Overall, it was a delicious experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and tasty option. Looking forward to coming back for dinner. Thanks Bijen!“
“We had a private party at Corkopolis to welcome our guests to Cincinnati for our wedding. It was the most perfect spot - and Julia, Dennis and Tabby were so thoughtful and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend stopping here for a glass of wine - or spending an entire evening at Corkopolis!“
“Had an incredible time at Annata. We planned a wine tasting as a Christmas present for my dad and were blown away by how above and beyond the owner, Tim, went for us. We picked out a few bottles ahead of time (with Tim’s help) and then Tim walked through each bottle with us, asking us what we tasted, telling us about the region, etc. The food was also amazing, we ordered a few charcuterie boards, dips, and flatbreads. Overall the food, drinks, company and ambiance were fantastic. We will definitely be back!!!“
“A great place to enjoy a relaxing evening with friends. The food was delicious with well balanced flavors and beautiful presentation. The staff and the owners commitment to quality and hospitality were outstanding. The atmosphere was cozy and charming.“
“I've walked past 1215 so many times on the way to somewhere else. We were out and I was craving an espresso martini, so we figured the wine bar and coffee lab was the perfect choice. I was skeptical of ordering their fancy version or a traditional espresso martini because of the mention of chocolate. I'm not a super sweet drink kind of person. I went out on a limb and decided on their fancy version (top model or something like that?) It was sooooo good! Service was fantastic.“
“This was one of the most interesting bars I’ve been to. It almost gave me like an oldies speakeasy vibe. They had a fireplace both inside and outside and the place felt very intimate and cozy. One of the workers pulled out the chair for me and also helped me get my coat on which felt very high in. Our waitress was very nice and made sure to come back quite a few times to check on us (I don’t personally like when waiters do this, as it makes me feel rushed, but I still wouldn’t change my rating). The live music was cool and they have speakers outside so you could hear if you sit out there. They don’t have prices on the menu which sort of stinks. I thought it would be very expensive because the prices were not shown but my drink (Milky Way) was only $9 ( I wish they would put the prices on the menu. My friend mentioned she would have gotten another if she knew it wasn’t too expensive). Wonderful atmosphere. My drink was also amazing; it was amaretto with hot coco.“
“We had my mom’s 80th birthday dinner and it was simply amazing! Kate was a tremendous host and helped me consider all the details to make the event very special. We had happy hour and charcuterie in the front room and then dinner in the barrel room. What a beautiful and unique setting! All 31 of us were at one, long table and it was just gorgeous. The drinks- especially the WINE - and food were outstanding. We had a GREAT time. I highly recommend Kate and the Skeleton Root winery for your special events and business/corp team events.“
“One of my favorite bars in the area! I loved the dim lighting and comfortable seating. They had plenty of space and the service was great! We got the charcuterie board which was cheap/pretty tasty. Definitely recommend for a chill night out.“
“Best damn pizza in the tristate area. I've never had a bad experience, and I always regret not getting multiple pies at a time. Amazing crust, fresh sauce and not overly greasy like a lot of other places around here. A bit expensive but it's worth it, I promise.“
“My wife and I went here for our first date night in years! And what a wonderful way to start the night, our waitress was absolutely wonderful! And I don't know if Tony still works there but Tonys French dip was the best I ever had highly “

“Amazing wine selection and the truffle potatoes were delicious - I could've eaten several plates of them. Service was great as well, but it's very noisy inside, difficult to have a conversation. I would go again and try sitting outdoors.“
“Came here for some coffee and their latte was genuinely delicious. You know when your coffee tastes like how coffee smells. Highly highly recommend. The chai latte on the other hand was so heavy on ginger and nothing else... it just was not it. But I would come back for the coffee. Also, it would be great if they could get to know their products a bit. I ordered a cheesecake cake pop. 3 workers gathered to decided which one is the cheesecake one... and they got it wrong. Weird“
“Went here on a Saturday a little after noon. We were seated immediately and each person working was super hospitable and welcoming! The atmosphere is friendly and vibrant while still maintaining a upscale (but approachable) scene. The menu is limited and rotates for the time of day which makes ordering easy. Everything is super high quality and definitely some of the best food I’ve had in NKY/Cincy!!! Our server, I think her name is Anette, was really great! Super excited to come back to try their dinner menu. Super great local place!“
“I’ve lived in the area for a while and finally stopped here, and I’m so glad I did! Every person working here has been so kind and helpful. And every drink I’ve ordered has been so good. Their brewed coffees are amazing and I love learning about the flavor notes! Lattes are incredible too! I get coffee for my partner (more of a mocha person) and my coworker (a sweeter drink person) from time to time, and whenever I am able to stop here they love it! Stopping here always brightens my day and is super yummy! Thanks everyone at Hyde Perk!!“
“Not only was there a fabulous selection of bourbon, but the Newberrys were so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I learned more about the history of bourbon in my few hours at this establishment than I have in all the tours and tastings I've done. We will definitely be coming back!“
“I came here for happy hour one week night. There's good variety on the wine menu, no matter what you're into. They had top-notch service, great ambiance/comfort inside, and a super spacious patio outside. It's not a dinner spot (as the name suggests), but more suited for wine and cheese/snacks. The hummus and crostini were both mediocre, with not many flavors. The drinks were excellent and definitely what I'd come back for. The "sexual chocolate" syrah was unique and out of my element, but one I'll remember. Don't leave this place off your list if you're into exploring wineries/wine bars in Cincy.“
“A gorgeous, tucked away wine bar with a great ambiance! There were lots of friendly faces, a great selection of bottles for sale, and a great menu, with a selection of wines, beers, and cocktails, as well as various accoutrements.If I lived closer, I would for sure become a regular here. I really enjoyed the Giggle Water. Drinks were affordable.This place has serious character; don't overlook it!“
“Cincinnati just keeps impressing me with the wide variety of places to enjoy and once again I have found a spot that I will be coming back to regularly. This place is cozy on the inside, the back patio is secluded and intimate, and the bartender is an angel. The draft and wine selection really blew me away! I had a martini and the best old fashioned I have had in Cincy so far. The bartender, pretty sure she is the manager, knows how to make one hell of a good cocktail and is very knowledgeable about her craft. She alone is worth going in there for honestly. They only serve appetizer/finger foods but it is more than most bars up in Mount Adams have to offer and they stick with the international theme well. The flags inside are a little much but they definitely focus on the 'world' part of World Glass Bar. I highly recommend this for a date spot or even for a group of friends looking for a place to play games and enjoy some tasty drinks you can't find elsewhere. Do yourselves a favor and go check this place out!“
“Higher gravity has no shortage of top-tier craft and domestic offerings, but really shines on personality. I have been a repeat out of town customer for years, and Adam not only gives great recommendations but remembers details about prior visits. I saw that other reviews, suggested that the bathroom floor was clean enough to eat a meal on, but I have not tried that.“
“After years of driving by, we finally stopped in tonight and it did not disappoint! Everyone was so friendly, and the food was delicious! We brought our 3 and 6 year old with us- they give two thumbs up for their mini burgers and mac n cheese. We got the James Parker Burger and Reuben fish sandwich. Yum! Alex was our server. He was attentive and so sweet. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!“
“TRUCK DRIVERS !!! The address does not match the physical location of where you are getting loaded. If your driving on Montgomery Rd, you are going to turn onto Section rd. Be advise that section road is extremely narrow and tight but it is the correct way to go. Once you are on section road, drive straight 1000 feet and you’ll see a fence entrance with address listed in the pic’s! They do load fast, so that’s a plus“
“Doesn’t offer any snack food but does offer other things that would include dinner. The piano dueling is among the best I’ve experienced. One keys player a young guy sings songs of the 80s 90s and today. Better tips get better music. When you are looking for something to do and your near this place or even a few hours away. Make it part of your Cincinnati touring experience. You’ll love every part of it.“
“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“
