“I absolutely love this little place. Please visit often so they can stay in business! I I had the mango pomelo warm—it was both soothing and delightful. The owner suggested it and he didn’t steer me wrong!”
“Our happy place. Every visit you leave better than you entered and are treated like family.
The wine selection is fabulous, the ambiance is unmatched, and for a wide variety of nights out: anything from a date night, to a girls night, family get together, or a solo night out. They do the most excellent job sharing their passion with you — educating on the wines and spreading joy. Their Macedonian wines are a staple in our home now too.
I would recommend any day of the week, especially Thursday’s wine and cheese pairing and any night with live music.
Photos included are from a private event at Fine Wine O’Clock which I would recommend for ANY occasion!!!! They make the coordination a breeze, flawlessly execute, and take your dietary restrictions very seriously.
All my love always!”

Jamaican • $
“My Goodness! The flavors are amazing!! The oxtails are tender and flavorful. The chicken is completely marinated and moist never dry. The steamed fish with peppers and onions is great with just the right amount of heat. If you want to go to Jamaican just order and be transported in you mind! JUST DELICIOUS!!! The only reason no 5 stars is there is always room for improvement. And I can't wait until theres a more upscale dining experience of Yummi Express!!”

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.”

We also enjoyed the Coquilles appetizer with perfectly cooked scallops and 1 bite of the Davidson burger raised the bar for all of the local competition. Shout-out to our wonderful server, Alexis, and the roaming Manager DJ for the warm welcome. Everything was perfect.”

“Today, 11.02.2021, a friend and l were in search of good breakfast food. Before dropping her off, we stopped at the Waffle House on Delhi Pike. The employees at this establishment were some of the warmest and friendliest group of people l have met since COVID. Fast service, our waiter Dante explained how we were able to mix and match the breakfast we had chosen. With the turn of our head, our meals were before us. The grits were freshly made, the toast was to a perfection with butter melted, everything about the meals were on point. The staff keep the restaurant clean. On their idle time they were cleaning the grill and washing down the floor, no one was standing around on their phones. I give the Waffle House ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

With my background in customer-focused roles, I can confidently say that this location exceeds expectations. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service, enthusiasm, and positive vibes!”

We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.”

This was a solid place to try or satisfy your cravings for either kbbq or hotpot.”

“A one-of-a-kind evening on the rails!
If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Dinner Train is an absolute must. I recently took the ride and it completely exceeded my expectations.
From the moment you step aboard the beautifully restored vintage railcars, you feel transported to a different era. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the evening special without being overly formal.
I had a delicious four-course meal (the calzone I chose was amazing!), and loved that you pick your entrée when you book. Everything was served hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The train ride itself is smooth and scenic—you catch glimpses of the city that you just don’t get from the road.
Even if you’re not a train enthusiast, this is a wonderful option for a date night, special celebration, or hosting out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, great food, and a little adventure. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and visitors!”

“The place is super good and the bakery delights they sell there are very good
No more than that the owners are asked to pay more attention to the employee who, because she is distracted, overcharges me.

The perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. The texture was soft and spongy. The cake was moist and held its shape all night! And the filling as well as the buttercream frosting complimented the cake perfectly. The cake tasting was such a fun experience during the stress of wedding planning and made for a fun date night. She was so helpful when it came to designing the cake. I knew I wanted something simple but elegant & showed her a few inspo pictures. On the day of our wedding I left some flowers on the cake table and gave her creative freedom and she blew my expectations out of the water.”
Malaysian • $
“YouTube suggested this Malaysian restaurant and I am glad that we drove to give a try. It is the best and authentic Malaysian restaurant I had so far. Server is so friendly and introduced food perfectly. Hot teh Tarik served with warm temperature so you could enjoy the drink right away, it is a sweet touch. Roti canai is good, sambal is spicy and lentil curry is good. Curry noodle has spicy kick with a touch of coconut milk and the chicken is nice. Noodle with bbq pork and wanton is delicious. Bbq pork is authentic and delicious. Nasi lemak with beef rendang doesn’t disappoint as well. Beef rendang is cook to perfection, tender with all the spice flavor blended perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you miss Malaysian food.”
Pizza • $
“I have been meaning to stop by since they opened, finally had a chance tonight. Casual atmosphere of a neighborhood place. Warm greeting upon arrival. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. I had garlic knots and a small pizza and both were delicious. The pizza was a 10” pie the size of a paper plate. The toppings were fresh and evenly spread over the pie which was perfectly cooked. The crust was the perfect consistency. The pizza really did taste like a traditional pizza I use to have when I was young and we lived next door to a family from Italy. It’s a can’t miss experience, and I will definitely dine here again.”

They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"”

The environment is spacious with plenty of seating, the brewing vats are in the seating area so you can watch the employees work their magic, and there was even cornhole boards and bags for guests to play. Carey, who was serving at the bar, was incredibly friendly and professional. The atmosphere is great and the beers are delicious. I had told myself I would have a 2-drink maximum, but the selection of beers has convinced me to have at least one more! Thanks, Rhinegeist Brewery!”

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.”

“Transcendental empanadas, arepas bursting with fresh fillings, frosty beverages, and a little shop where you can scarf up South American comfort foods and ingredients. The Arepa Place is amazing. My first bite into the chicken empanada sent me on a long journey to a far away planet named Delicious Prime. I landed, mid chew, in a great battle of shredded chicken, buttery flaky fried crust, and an assortment of salsas. There was purple smoke, the screaming of my teeth, and a salty wave of energy that made me urinate my pants. Moments later my wife and daughter shook me awake and I found myself on the floor moaning like a cow in heat. "Are you okay?" they asked, frantically. My response, "more arepas. And some of that aguapanela." The EMT team, curious, ordered some as well. Then, with my EMT team, I transcended back into the fever dream of flavor. Dedicated gluten free. Cute wall decor.
Vegetarian options: Lots of bean and cheese
Dietary restrictions: All gluten free!
Parking: Front and side parking, dozens of spots.
Kid-friendliness: Good music and color. They have a bar but it's a nice place.”

“The experience here was superb just like the other restaurants in the Looking Glass Hospitality portfolio. If you have Celiac or gluten intolerance they are excellent in their protocols and were able to adjust items to celiac specificity.
We had the Korean Corn Dogs which were 10/10. The Caesar was heavy on kale which is not our first choice of greens but it was generously dressed and had fresh grated cheese. The scallop and beef parpardele were enjoyed as well as Lobster Mac (fresh!) and wedge potatoes. Dip potatoes in the cheese sauce for a menu hack!
The creamsicle cloud dessert was unique as well as light.
Drinks wise they have an excellent selection and I enjoyed the Lychee Ginger as a great cocktail with Asian inspired appetizer.
This is a must for a date night with someone with allergies or if you like to dine local with local ownership. Parking garage is conveniently attached behind the restaurant and there's an entry from the garage to the restaurant. We were there on a Sunday so the area was quiet.”

Our server, Anna, was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We will return, maybe not on Saturday night though, as the crowd and acoustics make it very loud for dinner.

“We came here for dinner one mid-week evening before taking a stroll through Summit Park. You can definitely show up dressed comfortably/casually, but they have pretty decent ambiance, suitable for some weekend fun. We weren't super intrigued by the menu; it was a little less extensive than I'd hope from a place like this, mostly heavier options, and maybe not a ton of things I'd order next time. For me, the mussels far exceeded my expectations. That broth was heavenly, the bread was soft and perfect for soaking up the great flavors, the mussels themselves were very abundant, and had okay freshness. My lady said her burger was mediocre. She tried both the truffle fries and duck fat fries and was disappointed by both. I've never seen her not eat fries before, so that says a lot! Service was good overall. I'd come back for those mussels any day, but not quite as excited to dig deeper into the menu. I wouldn't deter anybody from giving them a try, especially if out enjoying the park on a nice day.”

“As an Italian, I’m really happy and proud that Italian cuisine is well represented by Nicola’s. I went there with my lady to celebrate Saint Valentines in advance, and we were so happy to spend our time there. The place is wonderful, the service is perfect and the food… the food is astronomical! Personally I do love the Malfatti “A true love for Rome”. As being born and raised in Rome I do really appreciate that love for my city. Definitely a 10/10, and best place to experience Italian cuisine. P.S. Italiani, se siete di passaggio a Cincinnati fate un salto da Nicola, non ve ne pentirete”

“Always fantastic. Go for the fries, stay for the blue cheese. Oh yeah, they have meats too. I usually get the spicy garlic on the wings, but they were kind enough to give me a cup on the side of the Chernobyl to try. It is very hot, but I would not say super hot. If you regularly eat habanero sauces and want more then this is probably a good heat level for you. It also has a good flavor, it’s not just hot for sake of being hot. Everyone there is super friendly also. Great atmosphere. Cool aesthetic. There is often live music on the weekends, which can be a bit loud and it definitely gets busy. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Come during off hours if you don’t want that. I wish I could just buy a jug of the blue cheese. Maybe I can, but I haven’t asked.”

“My family and I went to the LongHorn Steakhouse on Harrison Avenue for my birthday. It was very crowded, but we were able to sit at a "high top" near the bar with no waiting. The food and service were great. I had the 6oz filet and shrimp with rice, which I recommend. I prefer this LongHorn to the one on Colerain, which always seems to smell like marijuana.
Parking: Nice restaurant with great food and atmosphere.”

“We stopped for lunch on our way home from an event downtown. It was our first time visiting. The place is very cute and has A LOT of decorations by the way of live plants, pictures, and sports memorabilia. We sat in the brighter front room by the window. There were few folks in the place by the time we left at 1:10pm.
Our server was very friendly and accommodating, but we wished he would have introduced himself (pet peeve of mine). We ordered the mussels and frites, the Poulet Basquaise, and a side of French green beans. The mussels were very traditional with a butter, white wine, garlic, celery, and onion prep, which is my favorite. I know fries are fries, but these were some of the best we have had in a long time. The Poulet (i.e. chicken dish) is like an open-faced chicken pot-pie with mushrooms, peas, bechamel, and puff pastry. It is true comfort food that we thought needed some acid or a touch of hot sauce. It is served with a huge bed of lettuce dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette and nothing else. The French green beans were tasty and garlicy, but were not true haricots verts. They were just green beans.
Parking was easy because it was noon on a Weds., but I can see how it would be hard on the weekends.”

“Amazing experience at Wildweed and what an addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. We did the chef's table with wine pairing and they knocked it out of the park. From the service, every single person acknowledged and welcomed us to the food (so creative, delicious and locally inspired), to all the small touches of high end glassware for wines, beautiful furniture. I don't know how every single person is not raving about this spot. Can't wait to go back, as it's been the best meal in the city. With fine dining spots in the city lost like Table, Nuvo, L, this one I hope stands the test of time for a new modern type of fine dining.”

“Crown Cantina provided a exceptional dining experience last night. The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, offering a unique and refreshing change of pace. We started with the tostadas and salsa, which were delicious and had a nice kick. We also enjoyed the Hamachi, the Tijuanero (steak taco), and the large plate chicken enchiladas verde, all of which were made to order and full of flavor. The margaritas were also a highlight, with the ghost and guava margarita being a standout. All of their margaritas are crafted in-house, making them a healthier option. If you're looking for a high-end Mexican meal, Crown Cantina is a great choice.”

“Experience would have been perfect, but service was terrible. We were visiting Cincy and the hotel told us about Härth. We sat toward the front of the bar & nobody came to take our order after being there for about 10 minutes. My husband went to the bar & tried to order. We were told that a server would be around. Another 10 minutes & we didn’t even see a server milling around. We tried to order at the bar again & bartender said he’d bring the drinks. Finally got them after another 10 minutes. Not one time did a server come by in the hour we were there. Tried to order a second round at bar & we were told the same thing. Waited for a server, who never showed, so we closed our tab of 1 drink a piece after being there for over an hour. I had a coffee drink & it was delicious. The music & the vibe were great. I so wish the service would have been better or even a bit friendlier. I will go back when we visit again. I just hope they have more people working or a new bartender.”

“While visiting thee high school that my wife's father attended, we stopped for lunch at Gilligan's on the Green, a restaurant and brewery. I was told by our waiter that Gilligan's was once the old fire station of Wyoming, a suburb of Cincinnati. We chose to sit outside on the deck. Inside the resturant, our waiter said, there were rooms that acould accommodate small groups up to 60 for a special event or party. It was a Friday and from some past remembrance of my youth of having fish on Fridays, I chose the fish and chips. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich. I didn't get a few "fingers" of fish ... I got a hunk of fish, expertly fried with a nongreasy tempura like crust. There is a great list of pub style favorites on the menu, and a full bar.While not entirely an Irish pub it can't be ruled out:) Gilligan's has great service, ample parking and is wheelchair accessible.
Parking: Plenty of available parking. This was lunch time.
Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating. Family atmosphere.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible.”

Each shift did things just a little bit different, but it was very fun to watch not only our chef but others around. So it's fun to see each Chef cooking and entertaining everyone. My steak and scallops were cooked perfectly just the way I like them. It was all so delicious.
I'm looking forward to going back again and trying their sushi some time soon.”

We understand they were busy but drinks seemed to take a while. Food came out staggered which was okay but not ideal. My choices were very good. Both under the 700 calorie list. Everything seemed very fresh and the flavors were balanced very well and not lacking. My steak was cooked exactly as requested.”

“The entrance delivers luxury and elegance. Hostess was very inviting and friendly! A live performance was also showcased at the front of the restaurant. A pianist played beautifully throughout the evening.
Heads up to first time guests- parking is ONLY valet or you need to find parking out on street with a meter.
We went to celebrate our anniversary and they made us feel so special. We were brought two glasses of champagne (which was delicious!) by our server as she greeted us.
Our server was wonderful! She had great recommendations and was so kind. Also very prompt and on top of everything!
There was a lady I’m unsure of her status. But she helped clean up a table (possibly supervisor? ) and she was speaking down to a young bus boy. To me it appeared to be a language barrier and that made my husband and I uncomfortable to see.
Let’s get to the food!
We started with Brussel Sprouts which were delicious! Highly recommend trying. The soft Gorgonzola dulce was such a nice compliment to the saltiness of the pancetta and perfectly seasoned Brussel sprouts.
For dinner entree my husband had the butternut squash risotto and I had NY strip that was paired with Potatoes.
Hands down the risotto is one of the best dishes I have had. Compliments to the chef on putting together such a fantastic dish. Sweetness paired with a subtle hints of pesto. This is one of those dishes you’re going to crave and will have to go back specifically for.
The Ny strip wasn’t special by any means. $57 I was expecting to be wowed. Overcooked, charred and lacked flavor that I was hoping for. The risotto coming in around $20 was the winner of the night. My husband and I both ate from it and it was enough.
We really enjoyed our evening! Again, the atmosphere was wonderful. So elegant and inviting. The service was fantastic. Our server was just amazing. We felt so welcomed and highly recommend the Brussels the risotto.”
