New American Restaurants near Blue Ash, OH

“Always a great experience when you dine in here. The drinks are always fresh. The food selection is always well prepared. Nice place to take your family on a weekend to get out of the house. Make sure to get there early as this is a popular spot in Blue Ash!“

“First time getting Currito. It was good. really filling but I’m not a fan of the portions that I received. I understand business and food industry when it comes to portions and costs (as I’ve previously worked within food industry) but I was unfortunately let down — Then it becomes the question of , is it worth paying “x” amount for this when you could get more for your dollar at another said business. Other than that, I have no issue! The mango salsa was delicious !“

“If you are staying at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash, then give the hotel restaurant a try. The waitresses and bartenders are extremely nice and helpful. Good size menu for a hotel restaurant. Prices are even better compared to chain restaurants. Water and sodas are complimentary. Food quality is great. Above my expectations completely. Anytime I go to Cincinnati, I will be staying and eating at that hotel.“

“I finally got to bring my husband here after dining twice with my son & absolutely loving it, & now he sees what we have been raving about! It has the perfect environment for a nice date night that doesn't break the bank. Our server was pleasant & attentive. I enjoyed the Diver Scallops - hand caught scallops pan seared w/roast butternut squash risotto + grilled Bok Choy toasted pepitas + herbed gremolata + parmesan + crispy fried sage ($36). The scallops were cooked to perfection, as was the risotto. There were so many delicious savory flavors & the Bok Choy added a nice crunch. It was the perfect meal for a cool evening & the portion was perfect. Absolutely worth every penny. My husband had the El Diablo Burger - ghost pepper jack + barbacoa + pico guacamole + shaved lettuce + smoked garlic aioli ($22). I am typically not super into barbacoa, but this burger changed my mind. The guacamole was so creamy & helped balance the heat from the cheese. The meat was tender & delicious, very well-seasoned. Neither of us could get over how amazing that burger was. Would absolutely order again. The menu does change seasonally, but so far I have had nothing short of a 5-star experience & have had something different every time, which is unlike me, but I like that the ever-changing menu gives me that opportunity. Being located in Summit Park also gives diners the opportunity to enjoy all the beauty the park has to offer before/after a nice hearty meal. I know we will absolutely be back again.“

“She is a fantastic worker!!! never seen a harder and more dedicated worker always makes sure I have what I need. Makes me smile and laugh always positive!and energetic. She’s the best I couldn’t imagine sitting with a better person. She is what makes coming here enjoyable! and exciting! She always makes my day better“

“We came in for my wifes birthday, while in Cincinnati. Samantha went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. Her recommendations on food, we couldn't stop eating. The stroganoff was rich and creamy and my steak was cooked perfectly. A night we will remember.“

“It was busy, but understandably. Parking is always horrid at the location I visited. The food was good! I think for $13 the crown jewel could have a bit more lobster. My vegetarian street tacos were incredibly greasy/oily but overall a good flavor.Vegetarian options: There are two or three decent vegetarian selections aside from a cheese taco or Quesadilla. There are a few options but not many. I do know, as a vegetarian, I hate finding meat in my veggie taco from not cleaning the grill or something of that sort. I have not found this to be the case here. That is well respected.Parking: There is paid parking all around location using meters. There’s also a couple parking garages that many use due to not being able to find parking. We ended up parking in front of the district and walked about 4 blocks to grab our take out and go. It wasn’t a bad walk, just more chilly than desired.Kid-friendliness: There was nothing I noticed that wouldn’t be kid friendly. There were kids right outside waiting and playing as soon of the street was closed for outdoor dining.“

“Tony's is one of if not the best dining experiences in the area. The service is outstanding, always going over and beyond which is something you just don't see these days in the restaurant industry. On top of that, the food is next level, I've had most all the entrees and just wow.“

“Emillie was a great server! Let's start with the great things. We did apps and sides. Dumplings were so good but broth was phenomenal !!! Burrata and tomato jam was basically an amazing caprese, sooo good. We also had truffle mushrooms which we added to dumpling broth, YUM! and also had the perfect broccoli with just an ok aioli. Was unimpressed with crab avocado toast, not worth the expense. Have had a a lot of crab food options s and this underwhelmed. My husband is a brownie sundae officianato and he seriously loved the s'more brownie dessert. Overall, great food and sat outside away from a noisy interior on a Friday night.“

“Food was great! Chicken very juicy and tender. Atmosphere was great Noise level was great, able to carry on a conversation and be heard. I took my friend there for lunch to celebrate her birthday Our waitress was awesome, very attentive and was just wonderful with us. Very enjoyable lunch!“

“Food is great, not many gluten free options, though.Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free options, but the options that they have are tastyParking: Research parking before you go. There are parking meters on the surrounding streets and there are paid parking garages nearbyWheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible entrance and seating“

“Nice wine selection. We had a really nice Brunello. Halibut special and mussels were excellent. Tuna tartare was very good as well. Paella was very good, but the portion was rather small. I was in a cheeseburger mood, but unfortunately was disappointed. the hamburger was dry and flavorless. The bun was stale and burnt. I had to eat it with a fork and knife because the bun literally crumbled when I picked it up. I didn't say anything, because it is probably my fault for ordering a burger with nicer entrees on the menu. Emma was our server and was wonderful. She was super friendly and on the spot whenever we needed her. We will definitely be back.“

“The cutest little place for healthy, delicious food! My table got the brussel and shroom quinoa bowl, Mediterranean quinoa bowl, and adobo brisket and cheese sandwich, and everything was scrumptious. Prices are reasonable, food came out hot and quick, and the service is friendly! 5 stars all the way.Parking: It’s a busy area and finding parking, even on a Tuesday night, was difficult.“

“We have been to York Street Cafe for dinner several times, but never went there for brunch. I would highly recommend it. Food was very good and price was appropriate. The presentation of the food was very attractive (got the brunch board). I really like the ambiance of this place.“

“I feel like a secret has been kept from me...I did a search for "smoothie near me", looking for a healthy smoothie to take to my husband who was stuck at UC West Chester. Currito (what?) comes up on my phone so I follow the directions to Currito. I walked in to a sparkling clean restaurant and was greeted by a friendly staff member. Greeted. Friendly. I'm serious. I shared with this friendly staff member that I've never been to their store and I just need to stare at the menu for a moment. He offer to read off the menu to me. I'm still serious. I ended up ordering a Jimmy Carter and a Thai salad. I complimented the staff for their wonderful service and was then approached by Ashley, the manager, who thanked me for my compliments. No, really! It has been quite a while (maybe never this combination) since I was greeted by a friendly staff member upon entering an incredibly clean and organized restaurant who fulfilled my order to perfection and was then approached by a management staff who gave a care. I will be back. I will share with anyone who will listen to visit this restaurant who serves clean and healthy food because they care. They are doing the right thing. And they're killing it!! Bravo, guys.“

“Ive been working in this area past few days and have been trying a new grinder every day. This place has the best hot subs Ive ever had, Just the tip and the Balboa are top tier!!Friendly and caring service, cant go wrong stopping here for lunch. They need some french fries though!“

“The Ricotta Cloud 9 Pancakes may actually be heaven manna!!! The best I have had out!The ? mojito is delightful and the green fresh squeezed drink (kale and ginger and some other stuff) and the orange drink too ( i think it's carrots and a lot of other things). The ? cake is AMAZING!!!“

“First time at Fond, and I am very fond of this deli! I was greeted by Ethan, who was friendly and personable. I ordered a veggie burger and a house pickle. This is easily the best veggie burger I’ve ever had - perfect flavor. They had many vegan/vegetarian options. I’ll be back!“

“We stopped by Sleepy Bee cafe for brunch on a Sunday. The place was packed. We joined their waitlist on Yelp and were seated in 5-10 mins. This is a women owned business that locally sources everything they make. The food did not disappoint! We tried the mocha and the cappuccino. Both were excellent! Probably the best coffee I have had in a long time. For food, we got the Avi scramble and the breakfast burrito. Both were really good. We also tried their pancake of the day - the mango crunch cake. It was delicious and light - not too sweet either! The service was prompt and they do a great job making sure you receive your food promptly. They were very attentive despite being busy!“

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. The burger was excellent, but the garden salad with chicken was definitely sub standard. Especially considering the price. It was salad with a very dry, bone in chicken breast on top. It was flavorless and tough. Uncharged 6.00 for the chicken. Not worth it.“

“Carryout gyro, plenty of me meat, tzatziki was a little unique, thought it was a couple of dollars too much, but... It was solid and if you're craving a gyro. It's an excellent option. Ps. The lady behind the counter was very nice.“

“Overall five stars because Gilligan's is worth a visit! It's a very nice family place with a good atmosphere and service.We had brunch and despite being full, I cleaned my plate! The breakfast platter was just right, with perfectly cooked eggs. The chicken tender with it was delicious! The waffles were yummy too! The food is just solidly good.It's clear management is involved, checking in with staff when it got busy. All around, a friendly place. I will be back for sure and cannot wait to try the outdoor seating and more of the menu!Parking: There is plenty of street parking but also two free public lots towards the railroad tracks.Kid-friendliness: It's definitely a family place and kids are welcome!“

“First of all, Jack the bartender, is amazing and absolutely added to the atmosphere of this place. He was welcoming before I even sat down at the bar and was the perfect dinner friend for a solo traveler.For all the folks looking for a good time surrounded by great people, this is the place to be!As a bonus, the beer is really good and the food is awesome! I tried the Ranch Brined Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries that come with ketchup. But you gotta order a side of ranch!!! Ranch needs to be added to this dish automagically. It smelled so good I didn’t even take a picture of it! So I guess you just don’t get to see it until you try it yourself.“

“We had a gift certificate given to us for Christmas a couple of years ago that we finally got to use. The pros: It was a really good time having dinner on the train, being entertained and hearing some history. The staff was awesome and really went above and beyond. After dinner they highly recommended to explore the train, which we did. It was quite a ride back holding on as we were walking, but it made for some good laughs. Several groups of people dressed up forties style which was very cool. I would suggest if you have a special occasion to book well in advance if you can. Some of the cons: Also I felt that the price was a little high for what you got. Drinks were about average price these days, $12 a piece and tip added another $50. Also they sat us with another couple, which I wasn't a fan of, but oh well. Another thing, don't be expecting beautiful scenery on this ride. It was a lot of graffiti on the back side of buildings and shopping centers. Lol.“

“Tried Lana's Diner for the first time. Time of our visit came just after their lunch rush. It was obvious they had been busy and at the moment of our arrival, there was only one server waiting tables. While there was a little wait, it was understandable why. The one server, though overwhelmed, did not allow the circumstance to rattle her or keep her from pushing on to take care of customers. I was impressed by how she worked her job without letting her job work her. Her attitude remained polite and helpful to those she was serving. Food was very good and was presented as quickly as was reasonably possible. It was good service considering the circumstance. I give Lana's 5 Stars We will be back!! I highly recommend this down-home diner!!“

“Last time we came here we had a gift card for Oakley kitchen, and the man working at the time (April 16th 2024 actually) did sketches and drawings and was super nice, (also the burgers are phenomenal) he figured out how to use the gift card perfectly fine and even rung us up a second time for another order. We came again today and they suddenly can’t take the gift card, it’s a 100 dollar gift card and there’s only four places even open here with fat Al’s being one of the two places we’re interested in. Really dissapointing as it was used perfectly fine the last time TWICE and we drove half an hour to get here specifically for their burgers. The manager was on the phone and said they were one of the last people to switch to using a card (or something like that??) but again it worked last time we came so that doesn’t make any sense :/ our visit today was on 4/30/24.“

“The customer service here was amazing. Had at least 3 employees ask if I was doing okay with my current order within 15 minutes. I had the Third Eye Kandy, a subtle milkshake sour. Their food options sounded delicious but due to a large breakfast had to pass this time; Maybe next time. Would recommend going here!“

“I had both dinner and breakfast here and was so impressed with the friendly staff who were more than accommodating with our menu modifications. The manager checked on us both times and took pride in making sure we were well served. The portions were enormous and beautifully presented. You get what you pay for in every way here. I highly recommend D. Burnham's @ the Renaissance Downtown Hotel.“

“The place was very clean and the ambience was perfect good smell the whole dining area ,staff very accommodating and very kind for sure will coming back again and again ♥️Parking: You can park Infront of the restaurant have a huge parking area“

“As I am becoming a regular patron of Friendly Stop Bar and Grill in Glendale, Ohio, I can confidently say it's become more than just a dining spot for me—it's a home away from home. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a big, friendly hug.What truly sets Friendly Stop apart is the sense of community it fosters. It's a place where locals gather to unwind, share stories, and create lasting memories. Whether you're catching the game with friends or enjoying an after work drink.In essence, Friendly Stop Bar and Grill isn't just a restaurant—it's a haven of hospitality, where good food and good company come together to create unforgettable experiences. If you haven't paid them a visit yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.Parking: There is plenty of off street parking“

“I usually head over here for a couple drinks before going to the Arnoff and it's always enjoyable! They are usually busy, but the Team is very attentive and you don't have to wait long for service. Drinks are switched up frequently and make for fun afternoon/evening. The interior is nice & dim - a little moody, which is always nice.“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“This was our first time at Parkside. I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We ordered the burgers, fries and salads. All the food was delicious and served quickly and hot. The place was very busy but neither service nor food reflected that. We will definitely go back.“

“Stepped in today for some pupusas and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. Cheese Pupas was mt favorite but the chicharron pupusa was also good. The place is big, well lit, and nicely decorated. The place was a little dirty and the waitress seemed to be in a bad mood. I only saw 2 people working the front of the restaurant the waitress and a busboy. I'd recommend the pupusas to everyone and hopefully the service can improve.“

“Always a great time. As usual Aaron and David were curating a marvelous experience. The new spring menu is terrific and the new version of the short rib is simply out of this world! Alyssa provided a perfect experience with the courses brilliantly timed. Thank You!“

“So this was our first time out in forever. It was my pregnant wife, mother in law, daughter and I and we chose to dine at the yard house.Atmosphere is out of this world. Just very comfortable great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.Service was a little rough. Server was a vegetarian so didn't really have good recommendations, and seemed new but attentive.My families food was fantastic. My burger was overcooked. Asked to be remade and put to go and it was overcooked again.HOWEVER....Rob, The Executive Chef, came personally to our table to figure it out. Got a burger out fast, made sure it was right, and comped it.Also brought us 2 gift cards for a future visit.I have to say he saved the day. My family was more upset than I was, and we look forward to returning after Rob handled this issue.Thank you so much for your above and beyond handling of this very basic issue. Really made the experience.C.“

“Catered a family function on April 20th with Tano in Loveland, OH..... When I tell you that the service was A-1! the food was A-1 !and the professionalism from start to finish was A-1! ? Every morsel was fresh from the salad bar, the chicken was super tender and the short rib excellent ? Tano feed forty plus of our family and friends and they were absolutely ?% amazed ?Thank you Tano-Coley Family“

“Good service this morning! We enjoyed our experience. I get the bee keeper every time, and I have noticed the one in Oakley is notably better. Not sure why, less cheese, more toppings and chicken, fresher bread perhaps. Barely any avocado. Not bad though, just didn't hit the same.“

“The Korean Chicken Sandwich was quite nicely balanced with flavor and absolutely juicy goodness. Onion rings had more flavor than expected in a good way. The mild wings boneless were good flavor but seemed as if the heat level was lower than expected. The bone in smoked wings were very rich with a nice barky, crispy skin. The smoke was nice, it was borderline too heavy but was good.Service was stretched thin due to a dine to donate going on made then busier than normal.“

“Stop by to get some "Caribbean Cuisine" Brian has the absolute best oxtails in the city and look at this jerk chicken it is absolutely delicious! There's so many options to choose from from the curry goat and the red snapper, seriously you can't miss with any of these entrees!Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot and on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp!“

“What a great way to end my Resurrection Sunday @J Alexander’s with my family, eating some delicious food, in a nice atmosphere & being served by an awesome server(sorry didn’t get his name??‍♀️). Will definitely addJ Alexander’s to my list… oh and the lemon cheese cake…chef kiss❣️ “

“I recently used Kitchen 1883 to provide food options for a party that I had and it was wildly successful. The Caulisprouts were just about everyone’s favorite, but I got so many compliments on the pulled pork w/Tabasco slaw and the Greek wraps (it was a great vegetarian option)too! The team that worked with me to deliver and set up the food was incredible. So friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond!“

“Was there Friday night…. Right back Saturday morning! Above average customer service! You may not like the parking, but that’s it! Everything else from good to people is exactly what I expected! Food was hot and good, so tips were a must! I’ll continue to support!“

“This was a great meal from start to finish! Had a poor experience in the past and decided to try again. This restaurant did not disappoint! Victoria was a fun server who listened to us and delivered a wonderful meal. Brava to Brooke who started this restaurant and continues to serve a wonderful dining experience. Glad to be back with the Bru Burger family! We will return! Highly recommended!“

“This place is fantastic! Kosher restaurants are rare and therefore expensive, but not the case here. The food was great and reasonably priced. The burgers were incredible and if you are a pasta fan try the beef fettuccine! Definitely make this a stop!“

“One of the best burgers I have ever eaten is at this restaurant in Kings Island (Pub burger). Comes with a side of tater tots. And I'm comparing this to places like In-N-Out, Shake Shack, etc. Definitely my top place to eat at in this “

“Walking distance from Bogart's concert venue, Cincy Steak & Lemonade is a solid and quick spot to grab a bite to eat before the show. Tried the gyro sandwich during my recent visit on 3/30/2024 - portion was large, tzatziki was pretty solid, fries were hot and well-seasoned. Only reducing the review by 1 star as the tables inside were not wiped clean between patrons.“

“Wish they were open more! Best lunch spot in fountain square. I got a chicken rice bowl with lots of toppings and the house vin. the staff is a very efficient and keeps you moving down the line quickly. They do a great job restocking and making sure everything is available and fresh. Pretty quiet in here on a Monday but they have good music!“

“The Gourmet Group at the Findlay Market truly stands out with their enticing entrée promotion. The grilled shrimps, cooked to perfection, complement the ever-changing and diverse side dishes, reflecting the essence of a true "The Gourmet Group." The chefs' expertise shines through, creating dishes that feel like a culinary masterpiece. Priced at $10.99, it's not only a gastronomic delight but also a budget-friendly option in the midst of rising prices. The experience is so delightful that taking home not one but two servings has become a must every time I visit the market.“

“Service was fantastic. We had a show after eating and they did a great job of managing our order with how busy the kitchen was to ensure we had plenty of time to eat and get to our show on time. Food was very good. My pork chop was just slightly overdone. But, nothing major. Outside of that food was fantastic.“
