“Went to see Kurt Adams play on 2/24/24. This place is old, small and full of character, history, and ambience. The night I was there was a mix of regulars and folks there to support Kurt and everyone was friendly, just looking to have a good time. Service was good even though the bartender was new. I've heard that the bluegrass jam every other Thursday is cool, so I hope to check that out soon.”

“Their selection of sweet and fruit wines is second to none! They have been at this for a long time now and they know what they’re doing. My husband and I travel down here about twice a year for the last five years and every time it does not disappoint. We love the outdoor space they’ve added with seating and the the tastings are always a good starter! I highly recommend this place to everyone I know who likes sweet or fruit wines. Cheers, Enjoy!”

“Melbourne Roadhouse is the absolute best. If your looking for amazing attentive bartenders cold beers & (cheap) and really good food this is the place to go. They typically have daily food specials and steak nights are the best.”

“I don't usually write reviews, and I'm sure of all reviews mine doesn't make too much difference - but I could not let this one go without saying how truly amazing this was. My server Sarah (apologies if not spelled correctly) was absolutely amazing - gave me a free lil palette cleanser of the passion fruit sorbet (freaking amazing). You go in expecting to pay a good bill, but honestly it was SUPER reasonable for the amount of food I got, the service, food quality, and the environment.I felt super comfortable eating alone here, too, so bonus points for that.Also - the food is incredible. My taste buds were so jazzed about it. If I could recreate the sauce that came with the veal short rib, I'd put it on everything haha.Anyway, kudos to the chef, and kudos to my amazing waitress Sarah. Would come back to Cincinatti for this restaurant ❤️”

“Charming old world home with Sicilian brick oven! The team was wonderful and very friendly. I travel frequently and always seek out small brick oven pizza's to try. I am excited to say that this is now my new favorite! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and the crust is outstanding! It is an easy walk from Newport Aquarium, which means I will be going again and again. The cannoli pie is a great way to finish up the meal and will not disappoint. The owners were there and engaging and so welcoming!”

“We were looking for some protein before our hike in the nature preserve. SO happy we happened upon Pig Candy BBQ ? We had the brisket sandwich and pulled pork waffle. Absolutely delicious, we ended up ordering another sandwich to go. The employees were also so sweet, what a joy to eat here!”

“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.”

“Golden Hands Bakery is filled with masterpieces of deliciousness. Ron and I stopped in today for an Opening Day Donut for a home run review! My Apple fritter was crispy on the outside and moist and power packed with cinnamon and apples on the inside. Ron’s sticky bun was sticky and Carmel coated with pecans and cinnamon. Beyond amazing morning experience ?”

“The food here is the best Mediterranean I’ve encountered. We typically order the family platter and it’s always great. Service and timeliness are spot on. Highly recommended!”

“So happy we found this place! Have been maybe 3 or 4 times and it's great each time! The ricotta toast is simply epic. Best appetizer hands down!! The spaghetti and meatballs is also delicious!!!”

“We cannot say enough good things about our party last night!!Everyone was incredibly helpful and kind!Our group had the very best time and we can’t wait to come back! We would highly recommend fowling to anyone and everyone!Thank you so much for helping us celebrate my husbands 40th!”

“Popped in before dinner for drinks on Friday night. Parked right out front of the spot and breezed in. After being warmly greeted by the host, we parked at the bar. The place is beautiful. Love the design choices and the blue notes. A big table carved into the back wall looks great for a group. The drinks take awhile for the staff to make, so prepare yourself. However the wait is definitely worth it. Loved every drink we had. The French 75 was light and crisp. The Peardon my French was tasty and not overly sweet. I'm not a huge rum person but would highly recommend the hibernation sour. The bit of salt and spice was fantastic. Can't wait to come back. I want to try their daytime coffee and food menu.”

“My leadership team met here for a planning session. The atmosphere was great! The staff was so kind and helpful. We ordered a variety of drinks. I ordered coffee, others ordered wine. We also ordered a charcuterie board for the table. It was nicely prepared and everything was fresh. Highly recommend!”

“I love everything about VV. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The espresso macchiato is perfection in a beautiful teal blue cup. I love to enjoy one in the front window and watch the happenings of Mt. Lookout square. VV is not just a coffee shop though, they also have delicious pastries, sandwiches, meals, and drinks.”

“Cafe Mediterranean is always a pleasure to visit; it is our go-to for special occasion date nights because we know the food will be excellent. The warmth of the staff and owner are exceptional. Thanks for a lovely evening!”

“The food was all delicious - including our schnitzel sandwich + side of kasespatzel, pretzel + beer cheese, and Hawaiian Flammkuchen. Our 6 month old sends compliments to the owner and chef for being so helpful for her to have some plain cooked carrots! Service was incredible and friendly and we definitely will need to return!”

“We celebrated our Mom's 81st birthday and could not have been more pleased. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The service was top notch. Our food was delicious, every single item, including the scallops, the salmon (my favorite), of course the steaks (tender and juicy), and all the sides (especially the Brussel sprouts). And then there was dessert!! Carrot cake and butter pie were the top favorites of our group.We appreciated the attention to detail and our experience was excellent!!”

“Everything about this place is nice. Most importantly the staff is by far so kind, pleasant and friendly. I've been multiple time (weekly) and the atmosphere is always the same.”

“Absolutely incredible pizza, I can’t even begin to guess how many times I’ve ordered from St. Francis but it’s a lot! Every time the pie is spectacular, world class pizza in the 513! keep up the good work!”

“Awesome experience! Dining at Taj Mahal Bar & Grill is not just a meal; it's a sensory adventure that transports you back to your indian roots. With its exquisite flavors, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance, it's no wonder that this restaurant is a beloved culinary destination for locals and visitors alike.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great food, large portions, and your own carafe of coffee. Our server was cheerful and attentive. It was my uncle’s birthday and they brought him a bowl of strawberries with whipped cream and a candle in it.”

“A Symphony of Spices at Shaan Indian CuisineFrom the moment we stepped into Shaan, the aromas of authentic Indian cuisine promised a feast for our senses. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was a masterful blend of rich, creamy tomato sauce and perfectly tender chicken, each bite bursting with a depth of flavor that only the most carefully crafted dishes can achieve.My wife’s Sampler Platter was a delightful journey through the diverse landscape of Indian flavors, featuring an array of appetizers that were both intriguing and satisfying. Each component was a testament to the chef’s expertise in balancing spices and textures.The Garlic Naan deserves a special mention. Fresh from the oven, its warm, pillowy softness paired with a subtle hint of garlic was the perfect companion to our main courses. It was the kind of bread that you hope will keep coming to the table until you reluctantly admit you’ve had enough.In summary, Shaan delivered an exceptional dining experience that showcased the best of Indian cuisine. We left with our taste buds still dancing from the flavorful and well-seasoned dishes we had the pleasure of enjoying. We’ll certainly be back, and we recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly memorable meal.”

“If the only reason you come here is where the guacamole and avocado jalapeño margaritas, you will not be disappointed! The guacamole is the best I’ve ever had. It is topped with these charred vegetables that are incredibly flavorful. We also shared a variety of tacos and large plates. Enchiladas are saucy and delicious, and then we had Carne Asada which everyone loved as well.. I advise saving room for dessert because the night we were there they had flan - which I really enjoyed because it’s more cheesy than eggy (that might not be 100% accurate, but I really like the texture). Couple that with an el jefe cocktail and you’ve got yourself a winning combination!Vegetarian options: Guacamole- oh so devine! Sweet potato tacos!Dietary restrictions: Their entire menu is gluten-free”

“Best ramen in Cincinnati. I got in 35 minutes before they closed (which I hate doing) but the owner accepted me. Fast service and genuinely just delicious food. I got the spicy pork with crispy dumplings and he gave me a small yogurt drink which was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things.”
