“I don't usually write reviews, and I'm sure of all reviews mine doesn't make too much difference - but I could not let this one go without saying how truly amazing this was. My server Sarah (apologies if not spelled correctly) was absolutely amazing - gave me a free lil palette cleanser of the passion fruit sorbet (freaking amazing). You go in expecting to pay a good bill, but honestly it was SUPER reasonable for the amount of food I got, the service, food quality, and the environment.I felt super comfortable eating alone here, too, so bonus points for that.Also - the food is incredible. My taste buds were so jazzed about it. If I could recreate the sauce that came with the veal short rib, I'd put it on everything haha.Anyway, kudos to the chef, and kudos to my amazing waitress Sarah. Would come back to Cincinatti for this restaurant ❤️”
“We went for the rib special that is going on now. Our Server- Raylind was amazing! She was very warm and friendly and gave us very attentive service! The food was very good, and we will be returning soon!”
“Genuine food, people, and atmosphere! The all natural fruit juices and menu items were out of this world and I have not tasted anything this captivating. And of course, what you are all here for, the mofongo was fantastic with a great choice selection.”
“Super happy to find a Uzbek restaurant in Ohio ?Everything about this restaurant is excellent; super delicious food, friendly and warm staff, clean and beautiful place.”
“Very nice little brewery in the heart of the historic district.The service, beer and food were really good. I had the Dunkel and my daughter had a crazy train which she loved.We had the carnitas taco appetizer and they served 2 of them. Enough to share. I would recommend Fretboard Brewing.”
“It was an amazing service having our brother?? Jaycee serve us as our waitress… she was amazing… food was on time and my beer never went empty… she was amazing brother?? ask for her everytime….”
“This is our favorite place. The food is awesome. The gnocchi is incredible. Sam is a great waiter. Wednesday wine night is perfect. Oh yeah forget your diet tonight. Get the bread then the donuts for dessert. Yeah donuts. You can trust me. I'm not like the others.”
“By far the best fried chicken place here in west Chester Ohio. Probably the best fried chicken spot in Cincinnati to be honest. Forget about kfc and Popeyes, if you want good, juicy, tender, and crispy fried chicken then this is the spot to go.Staff is amazing and friendly, the owner is there a lot and he seems great as well.Soy spring, curry,snow onion are the flavors I’ve had so far and goddddd it’s dang good.I’m not a tender guy but my friend is and he order some and I’ll say their tenders are almost as good as the wings (I’m biased towards wings) and they are HUGE and plentiful. Very good definitely would orderAppetizers we got the calamari which was great as wellGreat draft beer selections and that’s very important when it comes to fried chicken spot. Korean culture is beer and fried chicken and it’s a great combination that you must try.They also have soju which is a Korean liquor but better. I’d recommend the yogurt flavor (just trust me) or the peach flavor. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any but high recommend the yogurt. It tastes like the yokult little yogurt drink you get at Korean restaurants when you get done with a meal.All in all 12/10 spot. I always take my friends here”
“I came here for the lobster crab shrimp BLT and I thought I found the love of my life but not this time. I wish the filling of the seafood portion had more texture with pieces of meat. It puts me in mind of tuna salad. It’s a cold sandwich but the filling was ice cold. The French fries could use improvement as well. Overall the food wasn’t nasty but I wouldn’t order or recommend it. Over priced as well for what’s given. The restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely come back to try another dish. I sat at the bar and the young lady who took my order was very pleasant which is why I ate in.”
“Food was fresh and had all the favorites you want for a Mediterranean restaurant. The five stars are because of the genuine service you will receive at this family owned place. There is something special when you feel the passion of the staff who are proud to be there and the plates they put out.”
“Make sure you request Danielle O.’s section. You’ll receive excellent recommendations & a personal touch. The piano bar is a fantastic place to start with your drink! Valet is only $4.00!”
“Golden Hands Bakery is filled with masterpieces of deliciousness. Ron and I stopped in today for an Opening Day Donut for a home run review! My Apple fritter was crispy on the outside and moist and power packed with cinnamon and apples on the inside. Ron’s sticky bun was sticky and Carmel coated with pecans and cinnamon. Beyond amazing morning experience ?”
“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.”
“We haven't had such a fantastic experience in a restaurant in so long, I forgot what it feels like. We were promptly seated by the hostess, and she was friendly. Our waitress was great and was very polite and attentive. I'll never get tired of having a refill for my drink set down in front of me before I have to ask. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the decor. I was glad we were almost finished when they sat a couple at the table next to ours, because it is a little close and you're right in each other's conversation. I got the salmon bruschetta to start, and it was so good. Everything tasted so fresh, and the flavors blend beautifully. My girlfriend got the French onion soup, and that looked amazing. She said it tasted really good. We both ordered the filet mignon, and she wanted hers medium rare, and I wanted mine cooked medium. While both steaks were excellent, neither one was cooked as requested, and both were pretty rare. I'm going to let that slide, since everything else was so good. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is so damn good, I want the recipe. It's very creamy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were excellent and I could eat a bowl of just that. We will definitely be back, and totally understand all the accolades now. Two thumbs up.”
“No staff is nicer anywhere in the city.Food is absolutely divine.Fresh. Flavorful. Delicious.Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free, and they were well-informed and very accommodating and patient.”
“The food here is the best Mediterranean I’ve encountered. We typically order the family platter and it’s always great. Service and timeliness are spot on. Highly recommended!”
“Cincinnati hit the jackpot with Boosalis Baking! I used to jet off to Paris for work, trying every croissant spot there, thinking nothing could match up back home. But Boosalis proved me wrong in the best way!Their chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) is the real deal. Seriously, it gives the famous spots in Paris a run for their money. And don't even get me started on their plain croissant—it's a close second to my favorite in Paris, Ble Sucre.Now, I can get my croissant fix without the long flight. Big thanks to the Boosalis team for bringing a slice of Paris to Cincinnati!”
“We cannot say enough good things about our party last night!!Everyone was incredibly helpful and kind!Our group had the very best time and we can’t wait to come back! We would highly recommend fowling to anyone and everyone!Thank you so much for helping us celebrate my husbands 40th!”
“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!”
“Best pizza in Cincinnati.We ordered margherita and hawaiian pizzas, and they were both perfect. Il Gusto pizza is ultra thin and crispy with high quality ingredients. The margherita especially was fantastic, and even my young children loved it.The greek salad was fresh with a house made dressing. We wished there were whole kalamata olives, but it was still delicious.”
“We had a wonderful, private dinner event at Carlo & Johnny last weekend. There were 11 of us in our party and most of us had never been to C&J before (we live in Hyde Park and typically frequent the Precinct and Ruby’s locations). We loved our first experience at C&J. This historic property was beautiful and well-appointed, the service was top notch, and as always, the steaks were terrific and the wine list was extensive! It was a great evening in the burbs!”
“A fun night out and a great way to try lots of different sushi. Each plate only has a few pieces which allows you to find ones you really like and also order more via the train. They have a few non sushi options to satisfy people who don’t like it but still want to go.”
“I live in Michigan and we have a lot of Mediterranean & Greek food, I must say this place is absolutely top notch. Was very impressed and will return next time in town.”
“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!”
“I love everything about VV. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The espresso macchiato is perfection in a beautiful teal blue cup. I love to enjoy one in the front window and watch the happenings of Mt. Lookout square. VV is not just a coffee shop though, they also have delicious pastries, sandwiches, meals, and drinks.”
“I could eat here at least twice a week no problem. The cheesy taco with whatever meat and you can’t go wrong. Making this review and I’m going to get some tacos now.???”
“Everything is always delicious! We go in a couple times a month to get cupcakes. We’ve gotten birthday cakes as well and they’ve been beautiful and delicious. Macarons, cookies, brownies, krispies treads - all wonderful.This was my birthday cake last year - based on Van Gogh’s almond blossoms. The flavors - funfetti cake, vanilla Buttercreme, strawberry buttercream filling.The staff is always super friendly as well and very helpful if you have questions. It’s super small, but full of happiness.I love this place!”
“Omg this food is amazing the butter chicken and chicken Marsala. It just melts in your mouth. The sweet bread is so good with it. Every bite is a mouth full of savory flavor. The best Indian restaurant I have been too.”
“My Brother in law took us here on Thursday. Fun atmosphere and good food. The ESB beer was great and I recommend the Cincinnati Chili pizza, a great change of pace!”
