“My experience at this restaurant was truly delightful! Everything on the menu tasted amazing. The cozy, small restaurant vibe adds to its charm, making it a welcoming place to enjoy a meal. During my visit, I particularly enjoyed their Thai dishes and also tried the sushi, which was fresh and flavorful.However, there was a slight hiccup concerning the sushi service. Around 8:45 PM, I wanted to order more sushi for my daughter, but I was informed that the sushi station was closed for the day. This was surprising as their website mentions a closing time of 9:30 PM. It would be great if the restaurant could ensure that all sections remain open until the stated closing time to avoid any disappointment for diners.Despite this, I am giving this restaurant five stars because of the quality of the food and the overall positive dining experience. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for anyone who enjoys excellent Thai cuisine and sushi. Just a small note to the management to maybe keep the sushi bar open till closing, ensuring all guests can enjoy what they offer any time during operating hours.”

Busken Bakery 2895 Alexandria Pike, Highland Heights Bakery • $
2895 Alexandria Pike, Highland Heights

“I think Busken Bakery speaks for itself. I came to this Busken Bakery to pick up our holiday Schencken. There are several locations available for pickup. Last year I went to the Busken on Madison. This location has to be the busiest during the holidays. Parking was a challenge. Figuring out where to go for pickup was a challenge. For these reasons I decided to try the Highland Heights location. I'm so glad I did. First, getting there was a breeze! Get your car onto 471 and go until it ends and you're pretty much there. I used GPS to get there, but getting there was so simple, no GPS was needed to get home (we live in Delhi). If you are a once-a-year Busken shopper and Highland Heights is reasonably close, I recommend picking up there. I was in and out in nothing flat.”

“I went here after class and haven’t had them in a while. For starters I walked in and they were playing my favorite song. 10/10 right there and the food was so fresh especially the fries. The fries were so hot and my milkshake was so good. It is expensive for one person so I probably wouldn’t bring a whole family here but it was very hot and worth it as a treat.”

“This is my favorite restaurant on campus and one of my favorite pizza places ever. The only reason it's missing a star is because they sometimes take the thin crust to the extreme. And I mean sometimes it's so thin it feels like the pizza is gonna disintegrate when I pick it up. I feel like this has happened more often than not this semester, and today was especially bad. The crust on about 1/3 of my slice was as thin as the cheese.”

“I’ve been to mid city about 5 times, it was amazing the first time I went and every time I go it gets better. The staff are amazing people! They have nailed both food & service. When you eat here, they make every guest feel special. Just this week I went to a high end restaurant in Cincinnati and was treated like an inconvenience because I had an infant with me. Then I came to mid city and they were so accommodating of the baby. They knew who we were right when we walked in, they gave us a huge table with plenty of space, kept saying how glad they were we came, it was pouring rain outside so they gave us towels to wipe off, they helped us to our table, even helped carry the car seat. That’s how you run a restaurant. There’s a reason they have a 4.9 star rating on Google, it’s because I don’t think 5 star is possible.”

“While on spring break from Raleigh, North Carolina, my son and I made it a priority to visit Nolia Kitchen after hearing about it and Chef Jeff Harris' James Beard Semi Finalist. Located in the vibrant Over the Rhine neighborhood, known for its local restaurants and shopping, we planned our early dinner around this exciting hotspot.As we arrived at Nolia around 5pm, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The host was both kind and efficient, while our server impressed us with their sweet demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu. Though we had already perused the menu, our server still took the time to share some additional offerings. With our choices in mind, we placed our orders, which included the following:- Gulf Oysters (6) from both the East and West Coast- Cauliflower- River CatfishTo complement our meal, I indulged in the delightful Goretti Park cocktail.Each dish was served with care and precision. My son particularly enjoyed the East Coast Oysters, while the cauliflower, accompanied by raisins and honey (we asked for it on the side), left a remarkable impression. Personally, my favorite was the catfish, paired with crawfish and grits. The combination of flavors was truly exceptional.During our visit, we were fortunate enough to meet Chef Jeff himself. He graciously shared his vision for the restaurant, adding to the overall amazing experience.Thank you, Chef Jeff Harris and team, for providing us with a memorable dining experience at Nolia Kitchen, worthy of your James Beard recognition.”

“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me”

“I came here for the lobster crab shrimp BLT and I thought I found the love of my life but not this time. I wish the filling of the seafood portion had more texture with pieces of meat. It puts me in mind of tuna salad. It’s a cold sandwich but the filling was ice cold. The French fries could use improvement as well. Overall the food wasn’t nasty but I wouldn’t order or recommend it. Over priced as well for what’s given. The restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely come back to try another dish. I sat at the bar and the young lady who took my order was very pleasant which is why I ate in.”
