“Getting a little pricey, $13 for my omelette, it was a little overcooked -browned but ok. Waitress was very nice, wait was under 10min for a table. I'll go back.”
“The chocolate pancakes is great and big, the omelette I order with veggies is very good and the avocado toast and potatoes are great. The coffe is ok for me is a little watering. Love also the salads are fresh.Always is busy but the waiting time is short when you reserve online. Parking is ok.”
“I really like the blueberry pancake. The carrot cake pecan pancake was not so much. And if you want real maple syrup you can request it for an additional charge. But the warm syrup they place on the table is the full of high fructose corn syrup. The coffee is strong with a bit of bitterness, but they do leave a pot on the table.”

She was really fun with my little cousin, she smiled the whole time, and just had a very upbeat attitude. She made our experience really memorable, just because she was so kind. She put a smile on all of our faces! Not to mention, The food was great too, and I was very happy with getting a root beer. The chicken gnocchi soup was so good too, really hot and filling. It was such a a good experience, I just had to write about it.”

I had the Singapore Noodles which is very tasty and they made it very spicy for me.The desert was very chocolaty and creamy she ate most of it while I wrote this.Parking: Make a hard right as you come in and the parking is on the right”
“We have been trying to dine in person for years, a series of unfortunate events has prevented this. It was worth the wait! Our server Justin was great; on point food descriptions, walking us through the menu, keeping everything timely, overall a pro. Kyle was our greet and he had fantastic energy. Cole was extremely knowledgeable about the wine list, and I'm sure much more. Mgmt. was visible and touched our table too. Seriously, the food was perfect. We'll be back, cheers!”

“My wife and I order from here once a week. Over hundreds of orders, the food is always great, they have never messed up our order (not even once) and it’s always delivered fast. We have lived all over the country and never had service like this. Highly recommend.”
“The smell when you walk in is mesmerizing. The food is spectacular. Well seasoned and delicious. Unfortunately, the service we had on our first visit was less than spectacular. Barely any interaction when we walked in and were seated. The server only took our order and never came back. We had to flag someone else down to get the check and a to-go box. Still, worth trying doe the food. We'll give them a 2nd chance.”
“Our large party enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and the service was excellent. We were a large party with separate checks and arrived late in the evening. We appreciate again the service, accommodation, and food.”
“As we have become accustomed to, the dining experience was exceptional. From service to food to atmosphere, all was top shelf. We love coming here and enjoying a first class experience.”
“Have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The biggest plus is that they have a large authentic menu, which is the only one that I know of on the east side of Cincy. Along with the authentic options they do offer more American Chinese dishes. They have a dim sum menu that seems to be offered all day as well. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the dishes. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have authentic Chinese food. This will be a regular spot for my family and I. Choose this over some large national chains that have been opening up in the area!”

Let’s just call it intimate.They have a good selection of wine and cocktails, and I tried them both.The server was very professional and cool. She took good care of us and we will be back.I highly recommend this place if you love Italian food. Great experience.Dietary restrictions: The hostess asked us up front.Kid-friendliness: No.Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area was 20 steps and a landing away from the front door. May be able to accommodate upstairs however.”
“I am still thinking about my dinner last night. I had the tagliatelli porcini with white wine and mushrooms. I had the broccolini salad to accompany it and both were so tasty and scrumptious. For dessert I had the donuts with the dipping sauces. The atmosphere is so cozy and warm and the service was impeccable. It was so wonderful that I want to go back there today and have dinner. This is my very favorite restaurant in Cincinnati.”
“The best food, service, and atmosphere that I could ask for. Everything was absolutely perfect and we’ll definitely be back. Recommend the Amish chicken, diver scallop, oysters, leeks, and caviar!”

“Glad to see the former Orchid's space coming back. The food was delicious. The short rib with pasta was a generous portion bursting with flavor. The delicate mushroom ravioli was also excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit.”

“We go here all the time and it's one of the best waffle houses I've ever been to. The staff is so nice and attentive. The food is top notch and the place is always clean and well kept. I live just up the road and couldn't be luckier to have such a great 24 hour restaurant so close. They also give me the veteran's discount which couldn't be more appreciated. I love any place that shows our service members and vets the love and support they deserve.Kid-friendliness: Very good items for kids like chocolate chip waffles. They also have paper waffle house hats they can get.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.”
“I’ve stopped at this White Castle many times over the years. I’ve never had a bad experience in the drive through. I typically come in the early afternoon hours. They always have the friendliest staff and service is quick 95% of the time”
“Best waffle house I have been to, it is also the only waffle house I have been to. Menu was simple and service was amazing, two things I want in life. Staff greeted us upon arrival and we're very kind. I ordered chicken and hash and it was delicious. I will definently stop here again if granted the opportunity.”
“The atmosphere here is very warm and kind. My server May has become one of my favorites. The hospitality I was offered was second to none. This will be my main Waffle House from now on.”
“Construction makes it hard to get to the place, then when you do, the drive thru is under construction too. But the service was still good under the circumstances...”
“Really can't think of a single time this white castles has ever let our family down. I could always count on them even during the pandemic when they were running a skeleton crew.”
“There was a newer guy there (I believe he was new) African American male who took my order and bust the tables afterwards. He was very professional despite another lady trying to criticize him every second. I’ll go again just because of him and the food was good too. If I get his name, I’ll update my ”
“Server, Tonya, was quick to greet us, cheerful and attentive. The food was excellent! I ordered the avocado toast topped with two fried eggs (SO GOOD) and my daughter ordered the Jr. Cupcake Pancake Combo. We both enjoyed our food and experience. The place could use a little music and a refresh but that didn’t matter too much to us.”
“Great fast and friendly service. Everyone was smiling and helpful. I got the 9$ 10 sack, food was hot, freshly made and delicious. The man at the register knew what he was doing ask me was very nice. The lady had my order made in 2 minutes. This white castle has good food.Parking: Easy in, easy out, lots of spacesWheelchair accessibility: Ramps at both doors”
“Been a couple years since I've been to a waffle house because there aren't any in Cleveland where I live. Workers were extremely sweet and attentive and repeatedly checked on me. Food was great!”

Muse Café
“Muse Cafe is where my husband and I met for our very first date. I love the "coffee, tea, or whatever you drink..." (a reference to my asking him out on our first date. Great spot, great drinks, lovely staff!”
“This was a great place for Thai food!The Green Papaya roll was delicious (and huge basically 2 rolls). The curry dish i ordered was hot spice… Im a bit more spice tolerant then most and found it a comfortable heat. It certainly did not distract from the flavor of the dish.Overall it was a delicious meal and a great experience. Would recommend if your looking for a place to get Thai food!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Boss Hog sandwich is good. My complaint is bar drinks. I should just not order them, that's on me. I always enjoy a whiskey sour when I dine out. I feel like their whiskey sours are my least favorite, for what they charge.”
“My little family’s FAVORITE breakfast spot! We come at least once a month. They’re fantastic with my toddler.I always get the Uncle Tiny’s special with goetta and the fresh fruit pancakesTry to come early or you can call ahead. By 9:30am on the weekends, there’s often a wait.”
“Family has used this bakery for decades---but recently I have been using them for office celebrations. I have had SO many people ask me where the cake is from because it's so good. Will be using them again for future office dessert needs.”
“I was expecting to wait a long time because of the looks on the faces of the folks that were waiting for their food. They looked upset, so I just sat down. There weren't many people in the dining room at all. I started playing a game on my phone and waited approximately 3 minutes and my food was done. Kind folks and the food was still fresh when I got it home. Very delicious! Awesome place to go for a late supper on Thanksgiving eve! Happy Thanksgiving all!Parking: No.”
“I've been going to this ice cream parlor since I was a child. It was so much fun to take my children here as well. Will definitely come back throughout the spring and summer.. To my knowledge this place is cash only, per signs. They have a QR code for their menu, for longer lines (but fast paced environment).”
“I've been coming to Salem Gardens since childhood. It's a good neighborhood place to get a bite to eat and spend time with friends. Not fancy, just a placeI've known about forever, wish I still lived nearby.Parking: Good sized parking lot and if that fills up there is on street parking too”
“Orderd 4 1/2 hours away to have my daughter's family have food when getting back from a long day at the hospital. They were so kind and helpful. The food was delicious and much appreciated.”
“Been coming for years! I was at the shop next door and a woman that had driven all the way from Indiana to get cupcakes for an event saw me and she asked me if I had ever tried one - I told her no and she went back in and got me a strawberry cupcake - I've been hooked ever since. The cupcakes are literally out of this world good. Today I came back and tried the baklava and cannolis- amazing! Best I've ever had! I want to try every item they have... I probably will”
“Graeters is the BEST ice cream we’ve had anywhere! Black raspberry chip is our go-to flavor. Double chocolate chip is my other favorite. It’s a bit expensive, but so worth it! Try a sample of a few flavors before you find your favorite!”
“I’m a foodie and picky with my gyros. Came here to try it and it is a good one. Coming back again. Their crackling cabbage salad which the server told me to try was wowza good.”
“Fish sandwich with onion rings were quite good. The service was great. He was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. Great place to watch a game.Kid-friendliness: Nice family atmosphere.”
“Great food. I love that they have gluten-free bread options and their coffees are amazing too. The staff is always friendly and the homemade pastries are delicious. I also love their mission. Local people helping local people. Great breakfast food and dinner specials. Chef Gigi is the best.”
“Muse Cafe is where my husband and I met for our very first date. I love the "coffee, tea, or whatever you drink..." (a reference to my asking him out on our first date. Great spot, great drinks, lovely staff!”
“I've eaten here before and it was very good. I had the turkey on rye with BBQ Grippos and the old school fountain Barqs Red Cream soda.The pictures you see below is from my mom's platter. She got a Roast Beef & Egg sandwich on Wheat with Mayo, Lettuce and Tomato. Her only complaint was that the pickle wasn't wrapped up, which led to soggy and juicy chips. This has never happened to me but I wanted to say something about it, so that they can carefully wrap their pickles as they usually do, to avoid such things and so no other customers have this issue.”
“This was a great place for Thai food!The Green Papaya roll was delicious (and huge basically 2 rolls). The curry dish i ordered was hot spice… Im a bit more spice tolerant then most and found it a comfortable heat.

Ban Thai
“I go out to eat every couple months with my friend. It was his turn to choose and here's where we went. I had the Rad Nar and it was spectacular. My friend had Pad Thai and he loved that as well. The spice level of my dish was perfect. I like how you can choose that combination of flavor mixed in with some heat. They certainly got that exactly correct. I recommend this place for some good food.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is a great location. When you dine in it is a great experience and everyone you encounter is nice and helpful. Delivery service at this location is top notch. The drivers are nice and even ask "how are you doing today"? They smile and make eye contact. I appreciate that this location always brings their A game and they all seem to enjoy working there.”
“Excellent customer service! From speaking with Diana B who took my order and clarified for accuracy, to the kind gentleman who called to say my order was delivered.I appreciate the quality of my meal, AND the fact that someone took time to add paper plates helped immensely! LaRosa's still values their customers... What a wonderful restaurant!!!”
“A true Cincinnati favorite! It's a great stop to wrap up a date night. My personal favorite is the double scoop ice cream of cotton candy and lemon sorbet, I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it's delicious!”
“This place is okay. Drive thru is great, but the inside ordering is a night mare. I suggest if you have more than 5 people waiting at the end of the bar, you need to pause order taking and get them cleared. An older man and his kid were waiting for their food/drink longer than I was. They also did not call out my drink when it was ready… some people did but the person who handed out my drink did not. It would be great to put a name on inside orders so you can just call a name and m what they ordered. I know it gets busy, but this leaves everyone else less confused and your line moving.”
“I really like skyline, gold Star is my favorite for coneys though, the funnel fries are to die for, they taste just like a funnel cake and it just depends on your taste, both chili's are great, they just have a slightly different tasteParking: Fairly large lot, I'd say about 20 spots in frontKid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right by the front doors”
“Great food and friendly people. We eat here often. Try the Kickin' Kay Lynn for a little bit of spice or the Sassy Scotty for a great chicken bacon ranch. The grape salad is good also.”
“I ordered a small traditional mushroom pepperoni pizza with a 20 oz. Bottle of coke for take out. My pizza ? was hot and it was delicious. My Coke was cold. Service was fast and cashier was friendly. I even received a Senior Discount!”
“This is one of the best upcoming places out there. The choices were excellent and the service was absolutely wonderful. I plan on going back and enjoying the outside with the chickens and goats”
“We've tried several dishes, and they are all very good. The young guy who we always see (taking orders, waiting tables, running the front) is always great.Kid-friendliness: Lots of things for kids to try.”
“Small mom and pop joint, but don't be deceived! This gem will make your day. Big portions, specialty icecream and even bundle packs for kids cones!this place blows the chain store away!”
“Good Ice Cream and great service. Store is very clean and nicely decorated. You can buy pints to go. We had a couple incidents with homeless who came in the store while we were there causing a minor commotion, but I'm not sure if that is the norm.”
“Went here for lunch and the food was really good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries were delicious! Definitely will be going back and try other options on the menu.”
“I love cute ice cream shops like this, and this one is especially great! TONS of options for sweet treats. The employees are really nice and helpful. My only complaint is that one time I was there, there were a lot of wasps trying to eat my ice cream :( but I know that's not the shop's fault.”
“Taste buds love LaRosas. I move from Cincinnati but every time I come home I have to have "La La's"! Keep up the good work. Fresh salads and great pizza!”
“Absolutely delicious, and good "American" portion sizes as well, high quality ingredients (especially the mangos, my wife is an expert) and excellent service. If you're in the area and looking for something delicious, nutritious, and light this is the place. The employees do an excellent job of acknowledging that you're there looking without seeming to push you into making a decision, and at the same time be available for any questions you might have. Will 100% be back, and highly recommend, 96/100.Kid-friendliness: Employees seem to have a knack for customer service (which I've rarely seen in the food truck world) and the family that ordered before me had some kids that they interacted with and made it a kind of fun experience for them.”
“Very nice "hole-in-the-wall" type place. The food was very good, service was great and the people friendly.Parking: Small parking lot but plenty of free on street parking.”
“Second time at Nolia...and just as great as the first time! The great food, drink, service, and ambience come together so wonderfully here...all thanks to their fantastic team. Thanks to all of you for a great evening!”
“It was just ok. The loaded fries were good, but didn't care too much of the egg rolls, maybe it was the sauce that came with it. But I will go back and try something different on their menu.”
Fine Dining
“Very upscale experience! Great food and service, but even with reservations our table was 30 minutes late. I highly recommend getting your reservations months before.”
“This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! Great food, great atmosphere, great service!! I had the prime rib and it was fantastic. The sides were awesome too! My date had the salmon and loved it! Prices for drinks were reasonable and cheaper than expected. The singers were amazing and the conductor was incredible. We were in the silver sword car and it was the best! I cannot wait to do this again. Money well spent!!!”
“Had dinner at Subito on Saturday night and Gina’s service was exceptional. I was there with two girlfriends, and she provided great recommendations and was a pleasure to talk to. The Short Rib Campanelle was awesome. The food / wine and atmosphere were good and we really enjoyed ourselves, but Gina made our experience.”
“Tucked unassumingly between two popular watering holes, The Lonely Pine sets itself apart from the usual "Cut of meat and sides" joint as a Cincinnati standout.Sourcing beef from Columbus-based Sakura Farms, and focusing on seasonal and regional produce allows their menu to delight not only your taste buds but your soul.The staff at Lonely Pine are always poised to impress, and rarely disappoint in service and provide a welcoming atmosphere for their guests.I cannot overstate my support of this amazing local spot, and highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal.”
“Listennnnn!!!! This one MANAGER named SHAUNA!!!! At the overlook KITCHEN….. so very professional and kind and considerate!!! Customer service at its FINEST!!!!”
“This was my first Kroger experience and I'm impressed with their selection and variety of items!! My friends and I were visiting a friend for her birthday so needed some food to make ourselves for the few days. They have helpful meal kits near the deli / rotisserie chicken for quick, nutritious meals. Huge selection of beverages and even a liquor store! Best of all the bakery department was able to whip up a cake in a days notice. I used the app and ordered a cake I think Wednesday to be ready Friday around 1pm where on Friday the bakery called me in the morning to get a verbal confirmation. The cake itself was so charming with the mermaid theme! I chose marble cake base and the whipped topping option and loved how it wasn't overly sweet. Kudos to the bakery team for whipping up such a whimsical, tasty cake!! We all enjoyed it!”
“Went for our anniversary. Treated like we were the only ones there! Steak cooked perfect and tender. They really went all out to make it a special evening for us. I've spent the same amount of money at other restaurants and received far less in the way of service. Top ”
“We had a fantastic time at Jeff Ruby's on Thursday night. The food (steak, of course!), atmosphere (piano bar and dining room) and service were top notch. Special thanks to Tay and Lupe! Their friendliness, attention to detail and overall dining service was impeccable. Can't wait to return.”
“The food was delicious. We enjoyed the trio appetizer. Guacamole was freshly made and the 2 salsa had great flavor. The service was lovely. We had a very attentive server. The prices were reasonable. I would definitely return.”

Great experience.Dietary restrictions: The hostess asked us up front.Kid-friendliness: No.Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area was 20 steps and a landing away from the front door.

“I always go in for the Morning Roll and walk out with something else new to try. I’ve never had a negative interaction or an item that wasn’t absolute heaven. Today I tried the European coffee cake and experienced pure bliss. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a Morning Roll asap!”
“If I could give Chung Ching Restaurant 10 stars I would. Thank you for making us feel so at home. So much love and history and tradition is put into what you will experience here. Love you all! Merry Christmas ? ? ? ⭐ ?”
“China Wok on Winton has the best Chinese in Cincy!No matter what we’ve ordered, it’s always been fresh, delicious, and large portions that are well priced, served on time, and by the nicest and accommodating staff.”
“The place is like a novel that is about to happen. It's like America in the 1950s all over again. Once you become a regular -- it doesn't take long -- they are happy to see you. They will call you by your first name. There are a lot of working people who come in there for lunch and middle management types with ties and shirts with rolled-up sleeves. They come there because the food is great and the servers are amazing. The servers draw happy pictures on your check saying thank you. You can watch them cook; it's a diner. I usually get a Greek Salad but the hamburgers and fries are great. So are the Gyros with the Tzatziki. Coffee is bottomless and you have to tell them to stop! The food is great and the service is great. It's like family.They are busiest from around 11:30 to about 1:30 PM. They close at 4 PM. They only open on weekdays. They take credit cards.Vegetarian options: Not vegan but you can get salad and sometimes vegetarian soup. It is Mediterranean so you should be able to work something out. Ask the staff what they would recommend.”
“The staff is super friendly, and will quickly become family if you give them just a few minutes of your time! I love everyone there and the coffee is great too. I get the breakfast Sammy and the lox bagel and both are staples. Great food, and over all comfy artistic vibe! ❤️”
“Their front step is dangerous because I just rolled my ankle and broke it in two places after just stepping out of that place but my smoothie didn’t spill after falling. 10/10”
“Chicken on the Run is your typical neighborhood place for drinks and casual food. Wings, burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads are the typical fare. The staff is friendly and efficient.”
“It’s a quaint mom + pop type style diner. I tried the street tacos + they were absolutely delicious! I tried a variety of the selection offered to get a good feel for the food. It did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend this place!”
“Great bread and treats. Our only suggestion is that they offer an option to toast up an english muffin in the on-site oven with a bit of jam and butter. Otherwise, fantastic -- check them out!”
“Not a fancy place, but the chicken is the best in town. Even all the extras were fantastic: mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, rolls, etc. Great place for quick carry out, but also indoor seating available. Friendly staff. Free on-site parking.”
“The staff here is amazing ?!!! They take care of their customers! I walk in and they automatically change their gloves bc they remember that I have a mushroom allergy.”
“First time visit, came in for breakfast as it was recommended. Quick attentive service. Our food came out quick and was exactly to order. We had a great experience and will definitely be back.”
“Absolutely deliciousWe go here often food is greatStaff is very friendly and helpfulDon't just take my word on it try itParking: It's in a shopping center so parking has never been a problem”
“This is literally the best coffee place in the entire world! So #1 the vibes are amazing, it's super comfy and chill and there's about a million different places to sit. #2 literally every single staff member we've met so far has been very sweet, within 2 months we've already become regulars and they treat us like friends, it's great! #3 this coffee is like, close your eyes and pause kinda good lol the lattes are always perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter, and the amount of flavor options is amazing. 1000/10 recommend everyday ?”

“I am still thinking about my dinner last night. I had the tagliatelli porcini with white wine and mushrooms. I had the broccolini salad to accompany it and both were so tasty and scrumptious. For dessert I had the donuts with the dipping sauces. The atmosphere is so cozy and warm and the service was impeccable. It was so wonderful that I want to go back there today and have dinner. This is my very favorite restaurant in Cincinnati.”
“Always my go to for great Chinese food! Absolutely love the sweet n sour sauce! Chicken is always cooked great, and the staff is always kind! Definitely recommend.”

“The best food, service, and atmosphere that I could ask for. Everything was absolutely perfect and we’ll definitely be back. Recommend the Amish chicken, diver scallop, oysters, leeks, and caviar!”
“One of the best restaurants around. They have a huge menu and everything is so good. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Sometimes they have a guy who comes in and does balloon animals. The drinks are very good as well.Vegetarian options: Very delicious vegetarian. Options. The vegetarian fajitas are amazing.Kid-friendliness: Excellent kids menu with everything from burgers to tacos.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.”

“We have been here several times and always enjoy the food and the service. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was done properly. Nice ambience and seating upstairs and downstairs. I highly recommend the Emery for some one looking for a variety of food and excellent service. Noah was very helpful and our server was also excellent.”

Primavista
“We were a party of 4 for an early Sunday dinner. The sun was shining and the view of downtown Cincinnati was sparkling. Jasmine was our server and she was excellent. The dinners were excellent. The escarole salad was different and we enjoyed it. And, as always, the calamari was to die for.”
“Dining in with a Stromboli. Bringing it to the table took a few minutes, because it was cooked for me. And it tasted delicious. The cup of marinara was the perfect size (and perfect taste). This isn't high-brow Italian. This is GOOD Italian. I'll be back.Parking: Hundreds of parking spaces available.”
“I have been here twice and both times were amazing. The dishes is skillfully crafted and traditional. My grandmother is from Spain and absolutely loves this place as well”
“Ohhh Myyyy GOSH!!!! This is HANDS DOWN the BEST place to eat!!! It’s not your typical BBQ joint - they have some really cool specialties!!Their sides are soooo good - the corn pudding and macaroni salad are must haves!!!The owner and staff were super nice and our whole experience was superb!!!!!”

“Crab stuffed avocado was SO good. Rigatoni dish was delicious. I'd pass on the artichoke next time. I appreciated the comfortable chairs! Nathan was our waiter---excellent service!”

The Wheel
“We recently attended a private "pop up" dinner here. The home made pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and the best pasta that I have experienced outside of Italy. All meal courses were wonderful and unique. The chef has a true gift. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!”
“Sichuan Chili is one of the best Sichuan restaurants in Cincinnati area. Fish with pickled peppers was wonderful. Although Hot and Sour soup is not a classic Sichuan food it was great. They have two menus an American Chinese menu and a authentic Sichuan menu. Caution food can be spicy! I've visited restaurant a few times and it a simple place with very good food and service.”
“We ordered the classic margaritas, and they were very tart, not sweet enough as well as not having much alcohol in them at all. I also got a pork taco that was fatty and I only ate half of it. Otherwise we had a good experience, the service was terrific and the food was good.”

“I had carry out. The Shrimp Fried Rice was the best I have ever had. The Shrimp was fresh and tasty. It was good quality Shrimp. It a really good overall taste. I live in Northern Kentucky, 14 miles away, but I will drive over just to have more of their Shrimp Fried Rice. It egg roll was not fresh, but the Shimp Fried Rice was delicious.”
“Very busy when I went during a lint Friday, food was great an staff were very friendly plus a nice view of the pond, definitely worth the visit also there food is very reasonably price with great lunch deals I payed just under 14$ for a fish sandwich and fries an it was pletty to ”
“Recommended: roast duck, stuffed eggplant, beef stir fry rice noodle, stuffed tofu Thai style, custard bunsNot recommended: Pineapple bun, salt and pepper pork ribs”
“Our absolute favorite for pad see ew, pad thai, and lo mein here locally. It's a neighborhood spot that feels easy to visit a couple times weekly, always a casual fun time and even when it's super busy, the staff is kind, patient, and attentive. Has been a go-to for dine in and takeout for me for years!”
“Chicken shawarma is the best I’ve had in my life. Hands down one of my favorite places that I look forward to when coming into town. Food tastes like homemade meals. The owner is the warmest, nicest, most kind-hearted person you’ll meet. So glad I discovered this place. You won’t regret coming here!!Parking: There’s a free parking lot right down the road on the same side of the street, 30 seconds walk”

Chilero
“This is legitimately one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The flavors were just so good and not overly done, and the chips and salsa were equally good. The inside is a bit of a pigsty and I think they’re missing out on a lot of indoor potential.Don’t walk, run to this place.”
“Very upscale experience! Great food and service, but even with reservations our table was 30 minutes late. I highly recommend getting your reservations months before.”
“I went in hoping to find my favorite signature latte with ginger- as I had seen it on one of their older web images. Although didn’t actually have it then the barista said they do have a ginger infused syrup that I could use ? so I asked for that with the spicy mocha. Unfortunately their Apple Pay reader was out of order so I went looking for my purse but didn’t have one on me . I expected to return later with my purse but the barista was a kind and generous soul who gave me my coffee on the house! I was so grateful and have a little more faith in humanity now. ?My drink was such a bomb! Loved everything about it and definitely recommend it.Abundant seating and great decor but the lighting maybe inadequate for readers.”
“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 is great and authentic on the Peruvian side, according to my Peruvian fiancee. Lomo saltado is our go-to.It would be nice for more seating, attention to detail in decoration and better service.”
“Excellent customer service! From speaking with Diana B who took my order and clarified for accuracy, to the kind gentleman who called to say my order was delivered.I appreciate the quality of my meal, AND the fact that someone took time to add paper plates helped immensely! LaRosa's still values their customers... What a wonderful restaurant!!!”
“This restaurant has the best Chicken Curry I've ever tasted and the Chef Naan Bread was amazing. The service is also amazing the managers as well as the owners are always available, and always ask if their is anything they can do to make your visit any better. This place is perfect for business lunches as well.”
“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!”
“5 Stars! The ABSOLUTE BEST! Highly Recommended! From the food to the service…you will be delighted with authentic Mediterranean flavors and friendly service. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Artemis restaurant and so will you!?”
“We were on a tight time schedule, and the entire staff worked hard to ensure we got our meal in the time allotted. Special thanks to our marvelous and charming server Taline*, who was absolutely amazing.I had the Stuffed Chicken Pita, which was terrific. My wife raved about the Grilled Shrimp Terrine. We shared a plate of the deviled eggs, and agreed that these were perhaps the best restaurant deviled eggs we'd ever had.Check out Frankie's at your first opportunity. You cannot go wrong here.* Hope I spelled your name right!”
“Just found my new favorite spot for Lunch! The food was incredible, had the chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Satay. Great flavor, and spicy! Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!”

“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.”

“OCTOBER 2023FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN IN CINCINNATIIf you're looking for a fun game to play with family (perhaps for a birthday or to take the kids after a special game), then I know the perfect spot that won't entirely break the bank: FOWLING WAREHOUSE CINCINNATI. It's a fun crossover where football meets bowling, located in an old Coca Cola warehouse in Norwood. You can pack in whatever food you'd like, because they don't have a kitchen there. Alternatively, you may have food delivered there. There is a bar for both adult and child beverages (including the old-school slushy machines for kids). Part of the proceeds go to support local charities.I cannot speak to what goes on there after dark, but on a recent trip on a Sunday afternoon for my sister's birthday we were able to play and saw kids young and old in a safe, clean environment playing together. Not sure of many places where one might see a Grandma, a high school athlete and a kid brother or sister all playing a physical game together. AND they do pay to televise Bengals and other sports on multiple projector screens and smaller TVs, so you don't have to worry about missing out on the game! They even have a few arcade games there including basketball and skee ball.NOTE: Any adults (even if you don't intend to have an adult beverage) must have a valid ID scanned at the door.PICTURED: I was too busy "FUNNING" and helping with the younger kids to take pictures. My two sisters and BILs are shown, and there's the one and only take of me with my niece (playing basketball with her basketball-related injuring sustained while playing with Grandpa) and a bonus cousin I've been slowly getting into sports. No filters, just honesty.Parking: PLENTYKid-friendliness: I believe my review speaks to this, but I will elaborate. This is a perfectly safe space for children to play games with friends and/or relatives during the day on a weekend. There are proper safety nets in place around the main play areas. For those with multiple children needing some wizardry and wardrobe or diaper changes, there's a full-sized family restroom right on the main floor. Pack in whatever food you might like for the kiddos. There's a free water station that's accessible to kids also.When I was there, all saw in the eyes and faces of every child was sheer joy.”

“This place is a gem! I'm glad I found one of my favorite places to get food and a drink. I had the hamburger which was simple and delicious. Had just the right seasoning and toppings. I also had to get a small order of the sesame noodles. Those noddles are a must. If I was bold enough I probably would have gone to the kitchen and shook the cook/ chef hand. The service was outstanding. The bartender was friendly and welcoming. I loved that the menu was small. I will definitely be going back to try some more of this simple and delicious food.”
“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.”
“I have nothing bad to say about Tony's. There were 3 of us, 3 different kinds of steaks, and they were all perfect. Elizabeth was very attentive to us, and very knowledgable and friendly. Excellent salads (those cheese wheels) and the sweet potato side was so smooth and exciting on the taste buds. Almost forgot to mention the bread and butter, but it is unforgettable. Looking forward to the next time we go.”

Poke Hut
“Superb.I’ve had many Koreans around the world and this is one of the best Poke bowls I’ve tasted.Will definitely head back here/order again next time i’m here.”
“I wanted to eat Korean spicy ramen that BTS Jimin eats, eventually I found it here. It was so delicious and all the staff were very kind. It's a Asian sushi restaurant, but if you want to taste Korean food such as Bulgogi, Japchae, spicy Soft Tofu stew and even hot pot bibimbap I highly recommend it.”
“When I say that the service was above reproach I cannot say it enough. The food was flawless. Compliments to the chef the amuse bouche was phenomenal.But what made the night was made our excellent service from William, I cannot even begin to express how amazing our service was!He completely personalized our experience, and made us feel like gems! We will be back for the amazing service and spectacular food! Thanks William and staff 10/10 would recommend check it out”
“I showed up in middle of the slow period for all food places but they still got me seated and served very quickly. I ordered the shumia(shrimp dumplings) and seafood ramen. Both are amazing although the seafood ramen is a bit spicier than I can handle but I'll just enjoy empty sinuses until my allergies clog my sinuses back up. I definitely am going to have some leftovers but that's more I have to watch how much I eat of the ramen with everything else going on in my day and my specific needs. Any other day where I'm not concerned about eating too much, I'd happily eat all of it even if I end up overeating. The food is just that good”
“Our first time there and we were impressed. We love Moo Shu and they offered the options. My husband has the beef and I had the pork. Both were packed with flavor and we really enjoyed them. The dumplings were amazing. Great flavor and they were seared perfectly. We will be back.”
“This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! Great food, great atmosphere, great service!! I had the prime rib and it was fantastic. The sides were awesome too! My date had the salmon and loved it! Prices for drinks were reasonable and cheaper than expected. The singers were amazing and the conductor was incredible. We were in the silver sword car and it was the best! I cannot wait to do this again. Money well spent!!!”
“WOW! Very good! Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients baked with love you can taste. Excellent crust and undercarriage, no flop. I can’t wait to go back!8.4 One Bite score ?”
“Rosie’s is everything you want in an Italian restaurant. The staff is attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is energetically charged but still cozy, and the food - omg - the food! The carbonara is unbelievably delicious and the chicken Parmesan is incredible. If you want an all- around impressive dining experience, make a reservation at Rosie’s.”
“Food is always exceptionally good here. Love the artistic style of the restaurant and the atmosphere all together.Parking: Parking los gets pretty full but have always been able to find a spot close by.”
“Really enjoyed dinner here. Our second trip to here. The servers did a nice job and appetizers were good. Best part of the meal was once again the mushroom capellini. Tried several different drinks and appetizers-the cauliflower was delicious though overpriced for the portion size. The meatballs in sauce were good but lacking in seasoning INSIDE the meatballs and the pesto bread served alongside needed SOMETHING ( touch of sea salt? More pesto?) . We are enjoying Crowns different restaurant offerings and looking forward to trying the others”
“Vegetarian options: We had a four cheese ravioli but did not have dietary restrictionsParking: The restaurant is within a mall. We could not find handicap parking. It was raining as well. Parking is regular mall parkingKid-friendliness: They had a kids menu but we had a 5 yo and he shared the dinner for two. He ate ravioli and bread and cake. We did not have dietary restrictions so that was not a concern. Great food and service”

Allyn's Cafe
“Awesome cajun food. Every time I go in I think I’ll try something new but can’t get myself to order anything but my favorite: the shrimp étouffée. ? Great date night spot!”
“We love this place! It's such a great ambiance! The cocktails were awesome! The service was a little slow, but we only had cocktails not dinner so that could be why. We will definitely go back, it's such a great vibe.”
“I stopped in for carryout today, having ordered the chicken Tikka saag and chef naan with green chilis....maximum heat. Sree was amazingly patient with me considering it took me forever to pick up my food...and very kind.More importantly, this was probably the best chicken Tikka saag I have had locally. The tandoor chicken was delightfully smoky, and tender, still identifiable in all the spice and creamy spinach. The Naan was perfect. I can't wait for reheated leftovers! Thank you Sree for a very positive experience!”
“Two people in our party ordered the liver onions with bacon. Definitely overdone and tough. I stuck with a Greek dish Mousaka. My dish was really good and you also get soup. Split pea soup was really good. I also had green beans with my dish. They tasted like canned string beans and no seasoning. I would definitely go back again and try something else I think it’s best to stick with the Greek selections. Service was good, and they were really busy.”
“Great food and friendly people. We eat here often. Try the Kickin' Kay Lynn for a little bit of spice or the Sassy Scotty for a great chicken bacon ranch. The grape salad is good also.”
“What an amazing experience! It's been a while since we've dined with you, so we appreciated the menu items from Maisonette and Table, as well as the retooled menu. Our server Ann was such a pro and absolutely unflappable. We look forward to dining at Bar A Boeuf again soon.”
“Hands down the best lamb I've ever eaten.Lamb Spaghetti, sounds weird, but I'll never eat anything as amazing as that again.Just, mmmpphhh.Be prepared, food comes out when it is finished, not at the same time!I like this idea, but if you're not aware, it'll catch you off guard.Cocktails were just as amazing as the food.THE HUMMUS was so delightful it was almost dessert-like with its creaminess and taste.I've never had Turkish coffee but I did try my date's - absolutely delicious.Service was 100% on-point. His name might have been Gabe/Gabriel? Amazing service.Price reflects the quality you receive here - it'll be about $100+ for two if you get cocktails.Cannot emphasize how blown away I am with this establishment.Tough to find, not well labeled/branded, but once you know the 3 symbols they promote, you'll never miss the building again.”
“It's definitely a place to try. The food is amazing. The girl at the front explained the menu and made great suggestions. I will be back to try more Columbian food.”

Via Vite
“A very enjoyable dining experience at VV as has been the norm. The food was excellent as was the service, all within a pleasant upscale white-table cloth atmosphere. The only minor disappointment in the evening was our two Sgroppinos. I have ordered them for about 20 years at Nicola's and VV, and they may have changed the recipe - reducing the amount of grapefruit sorbet, creating a more alcoholic, more "watery" drink rather than a delightful unique slush like dessert. Or may just have been a one-off error. I will order one again to see.”
“The space was very beautiful. Walked in on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. Servers/bar staff were attentive and explained the menu well. Split the Ntakos, Kotopoulo, and baklava. Took about 45 mins from order to food. Both of us loved the food. The presentation was also good.”
“Ate here for the first time today and everything was hands down amazing! From the food, to the service, to the atmosphere.. Everything was very quaint and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend and will be back for more ”

Cafe Mochiko
“Udon noodles, salty mochi, Tang Yang chicken, and garlic tonkotsu ramen are all delicious?It feels amazing and has a nostalgic taste. I think the Tang Yang chicken tastes like salty crispy chicken, the salty mochi tastes like fried plantains, the udon sauce is just right, the ramen has enough flavor and the barbecued pork is very good. tasty.There is a paid parking lot opposite.I want to try the pork chop sandwich and rice bowl next time”
“I absolutely love Proud Hound. I've never had a dish that wasn't top notch and they are in the top tier of Cincinnati coffee culture. I am notorious for being a coffee snob, yet not being able to pick out the right brew for myself based on tasting notes. This is one spot where I can simply say "light and fruity" and the cashier always knows the perfect roast for me! I can't wait to start including Proud Hound in my client gifts as well!”

Sago
“I ordered the beef rendang on DoorDash, as I'm Indonesian and from Maryland but just moved to Cincy from Myrtle Beach (absolutely no diversity there). It was sweet, spicy, and tender; almost exactly like how my mom would make it. Thank you for a wonderful and refreshing meal to remind me of home, especially as Ramadan is approaching. Absolutely delicious!I do wish the portion size was bigger. Maybe it's because when my mom would cook it, I could keep coming back for more, but it did seem like a bit of a smaller portion for $14.”
“Somewhat small spot on the side. Bartenders were very nice. Limited food menu, but fine. It's worth a stop when in the area if you love Sam Adams beer. Interacted with a few people that worked at the brewery itself hanging at the bar. Very cool vibe.”
“Upon recommendation of this place in Silverton, ordered carryout of Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan. The food was delicious, but a tad overpriced. The place still states dine-in as an option (in which case the price would be understandable) and they are certainly equipped for it with booth seating and nice decor but the only business was a steady stream of take away orders. If that is their model moving forward they should consider a smaller space and pass along operational savings to the customer. In any case, will return and look forward to trying a lamb dish and the garlic Naan.”
“By far the best pizza and calzones in the city. Definitely worth an extra couple of bucks over the local chain places. I was in and out in 10mins on a busy Fri night.Parking: After 5:00pm you can park right across the street for free.”
“Good beer, good service, and good views. You can't go wrong stopping in at this Cincinnati staple. Enjoying a cold Truth on their rooftop patio is a great way to spend an evening. Cheers”
“Cool place with a great idea for wine tasting. Gives you the opportunity to select and taste a lot of different wines. Will bring friends to enjoy the experience!”
“Fabulous food. We had an arepa and two empanadas. Some of the best food sampled on a two-day trip of OTR. Do not miss this restaurant!! Its great.Service was so-so but efficient enough. Seating inside isn't anything fancy -- counter style -- but its clean and bright.”

Anjou
“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 ?”
“I loved this place. I had a drink at the bar while my to go order was being prepared. The service was excellent, as was the margarita. It's a fun, relaxed place with excellent food and generous portions.”
“This is a great spot for a quick dinner! The place is small and cozy but we've never had to wait for a seat. The sushi is great and we love the crab rangoons. I like the drunken noodles but last time the noodles were clumpy.”

Al-Amir Cafe
“Small seating area. Food was well priced for a Saturday lunch. Came out quickly and tasted pretty solid for the price. It’s walking distance from my apt so I’ll be back.”
“Wonderful noodles and wonderful service! Pictures uploaded are actually from three separate visits if that tells you how much I love this restaurant! Bringing friends and family here, there are a surplus of options, but being a noodle house you have to try both the sliced and the hand pulled noodle. Of my personal favorites, I loved both styles of fried noodles with cumin lamb, my roommate loved the sliced noodle with ground pork. Both offer a perfectly chewy picture with every bite. As of recently, I fell in love with the Sichuan street spicy and sour noodles! While they don’t have the same texture as the handmade, the noodles fit perfectly onto your spoon and the fatty cuts of beef are balanced by the spicy sour flavors of the broth. One thing I will say is with the Dan Dan noodles and chongqing spicy noodle, expect those to be a little more “bland” as compared to the fried dishes that absorb the sauces really well. Definitely coming back to try more!”

“Love it there. Almost always great food. I only ever had one instance with it being overcooked. It really is a great place to eat at and the service is greatParking: Plenty of room to park with handicap parking.”
“The chocolate pancakes is great and big, the omelette I order with veggies is very good and the avocado toast and potatoes are great. The coffe is ok for me is a little watering. Love also the salads are fresh.Always is busy but the waiting time is short when you reserve online. Parking is ok.”
“My dad loved this place, to the point it was the only chinese restaurant he would order from for a solid decade or so. He passed last year, and I avoided ordering since it felt wrong to eat without picking up his usual, but after going through it, I can say it tastes just as good as I remember it. I'm going to finally start ordering more often now that I've had it again.I love their teriyaki chicken skewers and General Tso's chicken, as well as the pork dumplings. I suggest grabbing a copy of the menu and calling in your order for pickup.”
“I recently attended a function at the Westside Venue and it was wonderful !!There was plenty of space to move around and not feel crowded. Perfect spot for wedding receptions, showers and large family reunions. Plenty of parking and the bathrooms were very clean.The owner, Mary, was extremely gracious and helpful. I highly recommend this place.”
“They have the best orange chicken of any place around. Have eaten here for years & never been disappointed ever. Since covid I run in & get it to go. Always friendly, polite & the servings are enough for 2 people or 2 meals. Thank you CHINA EXPERIENCE!!”
“Excellent! The double burger was super good, crispy edges, meat had wonderful flavor (I ask for no seasoning) and salted to taste myself, the waffle fries were golden and crispy, and the Cole slaw was like momma made! My hubs had breakfast, eggs cooked as ordered and the gravy was great and home fries crispy! Both meals were plentyful. I know there was surprise on my face when they set the plater down on the table. And the customer service was 110%, everyone so friendly. Place was clean. And it was a Great Value!! Definitely will do that again!!”
“Great value, very good buffet. Good fried chicken, meat loaf, ribs, sides, fried rice, green beans, noodles, rich tomato sauce, vegetable medley, rolls, salad, slaw, beets, hot apples, desserts and fresh brewed iced tea. And good hot coffee. Limited hours of operation, so be sure to check on times.Definitely recommend and will be back! ?‼️??”
“Ordered a pretzel tray and spinach dip. You get a million pretzels and the smallest dip they have for 25 bucks. I had to purchase another dip. Ridiculous. What a rip off.”
“I love cute ice cream shops like this, and this one is especially great! TONS of options for sweet treats. The employees are really nice and helpful. My only complaint is that one time I was there, there were a lot of wasps trying to eat my ice cream :( but I know that's not the shop's fault.”
“Normally, this ice cream is fantastic! Really good flavors and good value. I rated this considering my normal experience. I was extremely disappointed in the chocolate chip ice cream. There were almost no traces of chocolate chips. The vanilla base was delicious as always.”
“Went with friends for a bite to eat, first time for all of us. Indoor and outdoor seating, lots of room, plenty of games, music, large bar, and a great menu. Service great, food excellent, priced right, what's not to like?”
“Came in today to have a meal with my wife and was not disappointed. It was about 3 pm when we got there, our server Demetrious greeted us very swiftly to get our drinks. He recommended the ribs to my wife and fish and chips to me and that's what we got. He also recommended a Bahama mama drink, which I initially didn't want because I'm a beer person but to my surprise it was phenomenal and a great recommendation. The ribs, fish and chips came out rapidly and also proved as a great recommendation to match with our drinks and the conversation was entertaining. Great service, probably the best I've ever had in a very long time. Great food and pure satisfaction at the table. I drove from Columbus and this was our night out before going home back to our regularly scheduled lives and I'm glad this was the stop we took. It put a smile on my face that there are still people who's customer service is all about the customer instead of just trying to get a tip. I will be returning and hopefully Demetrious is still there. Thank you for the great memory”

“Little pricy but every BBQ joint worth their weight is…Eli’s is what took me from “I don’t like BBQ” to “I’ve never had real BBQ!”High recommended!”
“Had a wonderful tasting. The space was busy not over crowded. Dinner was a delight! Food delicious, wait staff professional and wine, as always, superb. Alison, as I've encountered on previous visits, truly cares and made a point, upon seeing me tonight, to ensure all was well.”
“Went for our anniversary. Treated like we were the only ones there! Steak cooked perfect and tender. They really went all out to make it a special evening for us. I've spent the same amount of money at other restaurants and received far less in the way of service. Top ”
“I'd like to thank our server, Ella. She was sweet as can be, and the best server we could've had. Really. She was really fun with my little cousin, she smiled the whole time, and just had a very upbeat attitude. She made our experience really memorable, just because she was so kind. She put a smile on all of our faces! Not to mention, The food was great too, and I was very happy with getting a root beer. The chicken gnocchi soup was so good too, really hot and filling. It was such a a good experience, I just had to write about it.”
“I stopped in to enter a charity raffle. Great neighborhood bar. Pool,Darts and most important ice cold beer served with a welcoming smile.? Bartender was Pam and she took my entry and sold me a Ice cold Budlight. Would definitely recommend stopping and relaxing. Oh and did mention there is motorcycle parking spaces along the side of the building.???”
“Our visit was so bad. I sent an email to the company detailing our experience. I was very respectful, of course I never received a response...$150 bucks, over three hours, 2 1/2 spent waiting, and they wanted us to "squeeze" in with a large family that didn't make a correct reservation, by adding two chairs! Hell no.”
“Event for Frozen Princesses was a great night for so many families! Noise was medium but so much excitement with lots of smiles. Our server Meshyeal made our evening perfect. Very nice family atmosphere!”
“The food was absolutely amazing. My Butternut squash soup was different in taste, but still good. I had the shrimp and grits, and it was delicious. My only negative takeaway was that the server seemed to be in a hurry. As soon as our drinks came, she immediately asked for our dinner meals. She never filled my water or asked. At one point, after she quickly delivered and picked up our checks, she took my water that I was still drinking and never asked if I was finished or needed a refill. Situational awareness was not a strong suit, but I'm hoping that she slows down and makes the experience for guests personable and not rushed.”
“The service and setting is very nice. Food was not great. Steak was tough, salad was not very fresh tasting. The white table cloth and nice atmosphere off set the meal. Doubt we go back”
“Nada is one of my favorites when visiting Cincinnati. Not only is the food delicious but they offer a great selection of mocktails. The salsa verde is my favorite and I don't usually like green salsa. Can we please give credit to the beautiful biophilic design elements, gorgeous thriving plants and trees! I am always in awe that a magnolia tree is thriving in a planter on the patio, in OHIO in February.”
“Service is excellent. Atmosphere was great. KY Hot Brown was excellent. Water with lemon is delicious. Sat at the bar due to no reservation. The waitress was kind, and professional. Thank you for a great meal.Parking: Not sure about parking. Parked in a parking garage.Wheelchair accessibility: If, I remember correctly there are no steps. You may want to call and ask.”
“My family was in Thursday night before the FC game. Definitely made the right choice where to eat before hand. Despite our team losing that evening, it was no where near a loss. In fact, the night was made because of the service we experienced from the Assistant General Manager, Brenda, and our server, Liv. She was so friendly and her attentiveness was spectacular. Especially when my Dad is a handful. Her suggestion of the chicken sandwich was the way to go. Brenda was hilarious! Her humor alone makes me want to go back for more and try out all they have to offer. We will be seeing ya'll before another FC game! Thanks Alcove”
“I've eaten here before and it was very good. I had the turkey on rye with BBQ Grippos and the old school fountain Barqs Red Cream soda.The pictures you see below is from my mom's platter. She got a Roast Beef & Egg sandwich on Wheat with Mayo, Lettuce and Tomato. Her only complaint was that the pickle wasn't wrapped up, which led to soggy and juicy chips. This has never happened to me but I wanted to say something about it, so that they can carefully wrap their pickles as they usually do, to avoid such things and so no other customers have this issue.”
“Had dinner at Subito on Saturday night and Gina’s service was exceptional. I was there with two girlfriends, and she provided great recommendations and was a pleasure to talk to. The Short Rib Campanelle was awesome. The food / wine and atmosphere were good and we really enjoyed ourselves, but Gina made our experience.”
“I enjoyed dinner here with a few friends. The service and food was definitely a 10/10. We ordered a round of appetizers, which I failed to take pictures. :( but the trio burger beef sliders , were the best sliders I have ever had. Our waitress Brittany served our table with such class and grace. For dinner I had the blacked salmon with rice pilaf . Which was amazing . And the. To top it off I had a piece of carrot cake that was definitely 10/10. Very moist and flavorful ! The Banana Cream Pie was 10/10 as well. If you are ever in the area check out this classic restaurant. Again the food was amazing . More than amazing!”

“We literally order everything. We loved the potato’s, the pasta, almond cake, and the carrots but not exactly what I think of when I think of a Mediterranean restaurant.We were disappointed in the wine. We tried 3 varieties but didn’t love any of them.Also the atmosphere is just ok. It is a part of town that is getting redeveloped but jot quite there yet so I wouldn’t recommend sitting by the window.The service was great! And parking lot behind the building. It’s a little hidden right now because of construction”
“The coffee and drinks aren’t anything special, but the atmosphere is wonderful! They also have good pastry options and snack foods. I love this cute little neighborhood coffee shop. It does the trick for a quick, local coffee.”
“If I could give more stars I would! The drinks are exceptional, the staff is amazing, and the atmosphere is outstanding. The staff took the time to go over the menu with us and give us some great suggestions based on the kinds of drinks we like. The amount of effort and detail in each cocktail coupled with the level of service from the staff truly separates King Pigeon from other bars in the area. Without a doubt, we will be back!”
“FIRST: If you loved the mushroom bisque from Palomino, THEY MAKE IT. It is just as rich and fabulous as you remember. Oh sweet joy! Overall, I loved it. Another fantastic offering from the locally owned Thunderdome restaurant group. I just don't know how they do it. Each of their offerings is unique and tasty and they hit the mark, again! The atmosphere is upscale and comfortable. Tables are not too close together and we were able to laugh and enjoy a great dinner with friends on a Thursday night. We made reservations, but they weren't too busy so we probably could've walked in. We were seated in the bar area which was perfect for our mood. They also have a gorgeous dining room that looks cozy and comfortable. There's a covered patio that offers year around dining and honestly, when warmer weather rolls around, that patio will be packed. Drinks are on point and delicious. If you enjoy a tasty old fashioned, you can't go wrong with the Davidson Old Fashioned. The espresso martini was beautiful to look at, but I felt like the serving was kind of small (likely just the visual presentation). But It really was a work of art. One of the people in our party does not drink and opted for an n/a mojito (we lovingly call the fauxjito) and said it was perfect. For dinner, we were all over the place. We shared the eggplant which was prepped table side. We were thinking it would be more smokey, but it was not. It was okay. We also had the hamachi and that was excellent. Next course. The salads were generously sized, you could easily share. We ordered the roasted vegetable salad and it was excellent as well as the mushroom bisque which I previously mentioned. Our friends ordered the green salad and enjoyed it - it was large too. For dinner, my husband and I shared vodka rigatoni and it was sooo good. The pasta is prepared al dente and has excellent texture. Our friends ordered the vongole (which they said had good flavor but did not like the texture of) and the cannelloni (which they said was excellent). Price-wise this restaurant is not over the top. Given the absolutely incredible service we received, the delightful drinks, and tasty food, it was worth every penny.”
“The whole bar looks great, and the big features were imported from a bar in Ireland. The staff are friendly and attentive. The BFG wings are great 8/10 the sauce is good just wish it had more of a whiskey/beer taste instead of the a medium bufflo taste. The Pasties have a great crunch while also being flaky and soft on the inside 9/10”
“Wow, was really impressed with Gilligan's! The Ruben burger and the Ruben sandwich were phenomenal and sweet potato fries were amazing. Best of all for us, all gluten free with ample gluten free other options. Will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available!”
“I had the best time there! They couldn’t be better in every aspect. The food came out so hot, the managers were amazing. I wanted jalapeños in my drink and they didn’t have any so they ran out to the store to get me some!”
“I didn't know this place existed but I'm so glad i do now Excellent tea, cute place, very friendly staff; what more could you ask for in a bubble tea place. They've even got Three Brothers tea on the menu which i was surprised and delighted to see. I'll definitely be back!”
“The pizza and salads are truly delicious. They seem to be gettting the kinks out of their systems now that they have been open for a few months. It's a bit too dark and too noisy to read the menu and have conversations comfortably. But we will be returning and bringing friends, just because the food is really good.”
“This place is amazing! Anyone whos giving this place under 4 stars is a stick in the mud. The food was so good and came out so fast. The menu was diverse but concise. So fresh. Nice atmosphere. Will be returning.”
“Shadows of Latitudes still linger in this roomy space. It wasn't busy but still felt good. The Hummus is very good and they keep bringing you warm soft pita bread while you wait and eat.The food was good my wife loved the sauted shrimp and my chicken thighs were not very flavorful but both were beautiful colorful dishes.”
“Very friendly team members that give you a great idea of what is good to order here. Great location, great food, great atmosphere overall. Nice casual place to bring friends and family to enjoy some food.”
“We loved Aji Ichiban when it was on Glenway, and are thrilled with the new location where the old Washington Platform restaurant used to be in Elm Street. It’s all new and very clean and cozy! Their yummy-yummy sauce is simply the best! I love the Hibatchi shrimp and fried rice and my husband and kids love the Hibatchi Chicken and shrimp. They have a beautiful full bar and an extra room for karaoke and private events! They do not cook in front of you but have nice seating and bring the food to you. I think I like this better! Family owned and operated by a great couple who treat you like family. If you’re craving Hibatchi, this is the place to go!!”
“I am not sure where at the bad reviews are coming from. But this was my first time trying this place and it was beyond awesome!! My food was fresh, hot, and very flavorful. Will definitely be a repeat customer ??”
“Boss Hog sandwich is good. My complaint is bar drinks. I should just not order them, that's on me. I always enjoy a whiskey sour when I dine out. I feel like their whiskey sours are my least favorite, for what they charge.”
