Went here for lunch. Place and design is neat with a lot of seating inside and outside. However, the food was not it. Fried rice with chicken - was overall too bland and the chicken was very dry.The service was not very attentive - the waitress was not keeping an eye on me (when I wanted water, or to pay, for example)Wouldn’t recommend

Made reservations here the other day. They were absolutely packed and they handled it so well. Got us right to our table. The bartenders were on point. The drinks were fantastic. The kitchen was excellent. The food was delicious. We will be back. The staff here was fantastic.

First visit. Great vibe, attentive waitstaff. The menu looked and sounded very interesting. Sushi was ok. But my Bibb lettuce chicken salad for nearly $20 was very disappointing. Lettuce, goat cheese, some pecans and tasteless grilled chicken. Strange dressing that I burped the rest of the night. They only seem to hire VERY good looking waitstaff, and I’m not mad about it. Food quality/flavor just needs a jump for the prices.

Good place for drinks, but don't get caught in the ticket trap that is parking outside in the street. After 11pm the staff of parking Nazis will on the street to assign $65 tickets for any street parking. What a shameful Cincinnati money grab.

We had a less then desirable experience. Our reservation was at 5. We received a text at 4:30 that our table was ready. We arrived at 4:40 and checked in. The host told us we would get a text when our table was ready. Half the restaurant was empty and several other groups walked in and got seated before us. Once the host was taking us to a table, he tried to sit us at an open window where directly on the other side a DJ was playing loud music. There were plenty of other tables open. We asked to be seated somewhere else. All the tables are right on top of each other and between the noise level and conversations at the tables next to us, it was hard to hear. The food was mediocre and overpriced for what it was. We actually left hungry.

Had dinner her before a show at Andrew J Brady music center. Very convenient to park in the riverfront garage and walk. We got a starter and two rolls to share which were great but I'm excited to return and try some entrees

The service at this restaurant was really bad. No one was rude but we were ignored the entire time. We sat down at 4:47. A server did not come to our table until 5:10ish and that was after we asked. Meanwhile, the people around us were sat significantly later and received their drinks and apps. The server hardly apologized. The restaurant was not particularly busy and we could see them all chatting instead of serving us. The tables are tight together and my husband was bumped a few times by a waiter (totally on accident.) The server did not make recommendations or really seem interested in our experience at all. The food is tasty but overpriced for the lack of service. We will likely not return to this location. My drink was expensive and mid.
