“Our waitress was Kelly, she was absolutely amazing and she was so sweet and made sure our order was made right and there wasn't a single mess up. This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food is amazing and so is the service. We definitely recommend coming here if your in the area.“
“This is my 2nd time here and the food choices are top notch! The waitresses and bartenders are always amazing! If you come here and are lucky enough to meet Kristin or Autumn you will understand what real customer service is and how they make you feel welcome and invited!“
“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.“
“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.“
“New restaurant with free public parking in a seriously open bright warm and inviting atmosphere that has an open kitchen to the guests. The entree menu is insanely diverse and makes you think you absolutely need to come back over and over to try all of the options. Loved it. Everybody had to sample each other’s dishes because they were so diverse but paired so well We were very impressed with the food taste and quality here and will be back. Not overly loud, and not overpriced For the quality and selection. Dessert was incredible too!“
“It was busy, but understandably. Parking is always horrid at the location I visited. The food was good! I think for $13 the crown jewel could have a bit more lobster. My vegetarian street tacos were incredibly greasy/oily but overall a good flavor.Vegetarian options: There are two or three decent vegetarian selections aside from a cheese taco or Quesadilla. There are a few options but not many. I do know, as a vegetarian, I hate finding meat in my veggie taco from not cleaning the grill or something of that sort. I have not found this to be the case here. That is well respected.Parking: There is paid parking all around location using meters. There’s also a couple parking garages that many use due to not being able to find parking. We ended up parking in front of the district and walked about 4 blocks to grab our take out and go. It wasn’t a bad walk, just more chilly than desired.Kid-friendliness: There was nothing I noticed that wouldn’t be kid friendly. There were kids right outside waiting and playing as soon of the street was closed for outdoor dining.“
“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.“
“I love my tacos so much. Today we ordered #8 “Taco Birria Meal” and #18 “Chicken taco meal”. The chicken tacos were amazing everything is fresh the beans can just be eaten by them selves. The Birria meal was amazing. The meat was tender and the shells were perfectly cooked and crunchy. Def at 10/10. The rice was perfectly done. It was just so much great flavor. They have amazing greetings at the front door. Great service from the entry to the table. Best in Cincinnati, I will definitely be back tomorrow.Spanish:I love my tacos very much. Today we ordered #8 “Birria Taco Food” and #18 “Chicken Taco Food.” The chicken tacos were amazing, everything is fresh, the beans can be eaten alone. Birria's food was amazing. The meat was tender and the shells perfectly cooked and crispy. Definitely a 10/10. The rice was perfectly done. It was just a great flavor. They have an amazing greeting at the front door. Great service from the entrance to the table. Best in Cincinnati, will definitely be back tomorrow.“
“First time experiencing dinner there and we will definitely be going back! We were welcomed by Dara who was all smiles and waited on by Sierra. She was very pleasant and attentive! Food was perfectly prepared and the atmosphere was so nice especially because we sat by the fireplace. We all ordered the prime rib which was so good and we look forward to trying more of their menu!“
“Very pleasant evening, dinner delicious and service was excellent. Ambience lovely and lively! Would love to see a more imaginative dessert selection offered—chocolate mousse, chocolate tart or lava cake, profiteroles, fruit tart, fresh berries“
“Great service and food at a good value. It is a nicely appointed space. We were seated at a high top in the bar area and enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice selection of wine and draft beers. We had the bone in pork chop entree w. asparagus and mashed potato's and it was juicy, nicely done w. a delicious rub and au jus. which was both spicy and sweet. We also had a delicious Veggie bowl with side of Truffle French Fries topped with grated herbs and Parm. We'll be back in the Summer for patio dining, and to hear live music from the amphitheater in the adjacent park.“
“Stopped in to visit this restaurant and I thought it was pretty good. I got the Cheddar scallion biscuits And calamari to off, those items were really good. I got the Clyborne Burger which was really tasty! If you are in the area be sure to check out this place. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and up to date. They had a very nice vibe in the restaurant.“
“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.“
“Review wrote by my 12 year old son "We thought it was a run of the mill restaurant then we got the food at it was the best food the bathrooms are great and the waiting area benches have real truck backs 5 stars recommend if you come to Cincinnati"“
“The cutest little place for healthy, delicious food! My table got the brussel and shroom quinoa bowl, Mediterranean quinoa bowl, and adobo brisket and cheese sandwich, and everything was scrumptious. Prices are reasonable, food came out hot and quick, and the service is friendly! 5 stars all the way.Parking: It’s a busy area and finding parking, even on a Tuesday night, was difficult.“
“Ive been working in this area past few days and have been trying a new grinder every day. This place has the best hot subs Ive ever had, Just the tip and the Balboa are top tier!!Friendly and caring service, cant go wrong stopping here for lunch. They need some french fries though!“
“It is awesome!!! I Recommend the cookies! We should go there again soon. (My 9 year old says) The monthly burgers and specials are always a creative surprise. The Vegasian Persuasion is my current favorite, but the Oh My Cod is my first love.“
“The Ricotta Cloud 9 Pancakes may actually be heaven manna!!! The best I have had out!The ? mojito is delightful and the green fresh squeezed drink (kale and ginger and some other stuff) and the orange drink too ( i think it's carrots and a lot of other things). The ? cake is AMAZING!!!“

“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.“
“Food was good. I had the Turkey bacon melt which was good except they had used ham instead of bacon. Not enough of a deal breaker to send back. Fries were hot and fresh. Kiddo had 2 huge buttermilk pancakes. Ordered a side of hash browns (they were okay) and an excellent side order of bacon. Husband liked the breakfast bowl which was a large portion size.“
“Gordos in the hole in the wall burger spot that you didn't know you needed. With thick, unique, and tasty burgers. Thick cut fries come standard. There are so many great burger combos to try, but you need to try either the GFat or the simple PBJ. Across their menu you'll find other sneaky good options like the tacos or the pear salad, but the burgers are the core of why you seek out Gordos. Service can be a little slow, especially when it gets busy, but you can often find this place to be fairly open unless it's a Xavier game day. Helpful to know: Park to the left side of the building in the odd looking lot. The right side of the building parking is owned by a different building/business. On nice days, see if you can sit in the back patio. It's a little oasis from the noisy of Norwoods main drag.“
“Pleasant atmosphere, comfortable seating, friendly staff, good food. Could improve the menu to accommodate a more health-conscious diet of the customers' need and/or choice. They never attempted to include the new plant-based meat alternatives that would be welcome on the menu. The invasion of the valet parking on a vast number of parking spots makes the experience completely unpleasant.Parking: Very difficult to find parking. The service provided by the valet is inconvenient. Sometimes you have to wait a long time until they bring your car.“
“Very cute restaurant with delicious food! We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning right at 9am. We had a reservation, but probably didn’t need it since we showed up right at 9. It did fill up pretty quickly, but there is a lot of seating in a few different rooms. We loved everything we ordered, and the portions were big. We ordered the short rib skillet-very flavorful and filling, crunchy French toast, eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, and the down on the farm. I would like to go back to try some other menu items!“
“The food here is great, I really enjoy the salmon salad and I have yet to be disappointed. Dining in is a nice experience but it almost feels like you recieve too much service. Its nice to have full water I suppose but I dont need a check in from the servers every few minutes“
“Was sooo hungry and delicious that I ate it before I could take a pic. The burger is amazing with tots!Parking: When you turn into the lot before the restaurant if you go all the way to the left, there are signed parking spots for the restaurant that is FREE“
“This is the modern-day version of a mall food court but is so much nicer! There are many different styles of food to choose from so there will be something for everyone. The seating area is spacious and clean. They also have water stations with free water so you don't have to wait in any lines for a drink. There was live music the Saturday night we were there.“
“People standing all around, waiting for a table, next to my table while we were eating, watching me eat(several were stare-ers). At one point I counted 19 people standing (waiting for a table) inside the restaurant next to tables. (Saturday at 5pm) The hostess’ were having a hard time bringing people in to set at their table, due to the jam of people waiting inside the sit down eating area, as well as people having a hard time trying to leave, because of the jam of people standing/waiting inside the eating area. There is a waiting area and even outside benches. Other than that, love it.“
“Let me being by saying that this was the second time in my life that my wife and I have had a meal so good that we bought drinks for the entire restaurant staff.We went last night and this meal was the best we've ever had in Cincinnati. We began with the oysters and the bone marrow. If you've never had bone marrow like we hadn't, get it. I'm telling you that it's sublime. That was followed with the seasonal spring salad. I know this is a steakhouse and they do their steak as well as anyone, but I've never had a salad that good. It was the single best bite of the meal!After the salads, they brought out our 4oz petit filets, fingerling potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms and onions. We prefer to have small steaks and let it be an element of the meal rather than the meal itself and I'm so glad we did! The entire meal was delicious and I'd hate to have ordered a larger steak and missed out on the opportunity to try some of their other menu items.Finally, we wrapped up the meal with a creme brulee for each of us (they had two types so we got one of each and shared). Creme brulee is my favorite dessert and The Lonely Pine didn't disappoint!I can't wait to go back. I've been talking to folks at work about it all morning and several of them are excited to try the place as well.GO. Enjoy your night out. You won't be disappointed in taking my recommendation.Parking: We had no trouble finding street parking within 30 feet of the restaurant. They also have a free parking lot directly across the street.“
“The look of the eating area was very nice. It was very loud though. We got food from 3 different places and prices were not to where we could do this regularly. It's not that prices per meal were too high but we had to purchase 3 different meals to get enough food for 2 people. Service was good at each place and I liked the text system when the order was ready.“
“We love Melt!! The Rachel with a side of slaw is our favorite. Also love the revival bowl, verde chicken flatbread, & nachos. Swapping their homemade vegan cheese on any of these items is delicious. Ooh, and the Carmelita is one of their must-try treats!Dietary restrictions: Lots of great vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, & gluten free options.“
“Went to hear Sonny Moormon on his regular Wednesday blues gig. He is an extremely talented guitarist and has been playing for decades here in the Cincinnati area. True to the vibe at the Meritage, he played a more laid back vibe that was not intrusive on conversation.“
“We usually get carryout, but the dining area is great as well. I'm only giving it 4/5 stars because they changed the menu recently and my favorites are gone. (The green bean fries were fantastic and we liked the buffalo mac and cheese, but sadly both are gone.) But everything else we've tried has been good and the service is always nice. I do wish the portions were a little smaller, because one dinner is usually enough for two meals for me.Parking: There's plenty of parking behind the restaurant.“
“3/30 We went to this place for a lovely lunch and I want to say that if you like poutine you need to run here and get some. Their poutine is made with duck fat and truffle fries, local cheese curds and has braised short rib with gravy and we chose to have the local over easy free ranged egg on it. Every bit of it was delicious and we took some of it home. He had the big fat Greek gyro and I had the k-pop hot dog which is a beef hotdog with homemade kimchi (perfect addition), braised short rib (and they didn't skimp on it), pickled cucumbers (lovely touch) and sesame seeds. I also had a local beer called Luke I am your Lager which the brewery is in West Chester which I thought paired with lunch perfectly.“
“Always a great experience when you dine in here. The drinks are always fresh. The food selection is always well prepared. Nice place to take your family on a weekend to get out of the house. Make sure to get there early as this is a popular spot in Blue Ash!“
“I don’t have any pics to share because it was gone before I remembered. I had the steak tips and veggies (zucchini and mushrooms). Perfect dinner for this diabetic. So tasty. My children ordered Mac without the steak. They weren’t too fond of it and agreed it likely would have been better with the steak. I hope you all come back to Enon!“
“First of all, Jack the bartender, is amazing and absolutely added to the atmosphere of this place. He was welcoming before I even sat down at the bar and was the perfect dinner friend for a solo traveler.For all the folks looking for a good time surrounded by great people, this is the place to be!As a bonus, the beer is really good and the food is awesome! I tried the Ranch Brined Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries that come with ketchup. But you gotta order a side of ranch!!! Ranch needs to be added to this dish automagically. It smelled so good I didn’t even take a picture of it! So I guess you just don’t get to see it until you try it yourself.“
“A great place for a healthy lunch. I think they do catering as well. The actual restaurant is small and well lit by the afternoon sun. It's kind of tucked away in the back of Techwood Circle. I found Apple Spice Junction because it's near my company office, but sometimes I stop there if I'm in the general area. I recommend the Southwest Chicken wrap and pasta. Unfortunately, they are only open for lunch.“
“Stepped in today for some pupusas and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. Cheese Pupas was mt favorite but the chicharron pupusa was also good. The place is big, well lit, and nicely decorated. The place was a little dirty and the waitress seemed to be in a bad mood. I only saw 2 people working the front of the restaurant the waitress and a busboy. I'd recommend the pupusas to everyone and hopefully the service can improve.“
“We stopped by Sleepy Bee cafe for brunch on a Sunday. The place was packed. We joined their waitlist on Yelp and were seated in 5-10 mins. This is a women owned business that locally sources everything they make. The food did not disappoint! We tried the mocha and the cappuccino. Both were excellent! Probably the best coffee I have had in a long time. For food, we got the Avi scramble and the breakfast burrito. Both were really good. We also tried their pancake of the day - the mango crunch cake. It was delicious and light - not too sweet either! The service was prompt and they do a great job making sure you receive your food promptly. They were very attentive despite being busy!“
“Breakfast was great. Fast. Being handicapped with crutches..server went above and beyond by opening all doors for me when I arrived and departed. He was great..we tipped way beyond expected hoping some of that tip goes to him..will returnParking: Parking is terrible..management company that owns property dies little for handicapped parking .accessible in front of first watch. Jimmy John's gets preferential parking with 5 dedicated spots.Wheelchair accessibility: Hard to navigate handicapped walking into restaurants“
“My favorite place in Northside hands down. I'm a sucker for diners, but the atmosphere and friendly staff really make this a great place to sit in. The Blue Jay Breakfast (eggs, potatoes, and optional meat) is both delicious and a great price! I get it every time I go.“
“This place has amazing food and a lovely atmosphere. We happened to come across sleepy bee while visiting Cincinnati from out of state, so we weren't entirely sure what to expect. It instantly became a favorite spot! 10/10 will definitely be returning“
“We had a gift certificate given to us for Christmas a couple of years ago that we finally got to use. The pros: It was a really good time having dinner on the train, being entertained and hearing some history. The staff was awesome and really went above and beyond. After dinner they highly recommended to explore the train, which we did. It was quite a ride back holding on as we were walking, but it made for some good laughs. Several groups of people dressed up forties style which was very cool. I would suggest if you have a special occasion to book well in advance if you can. Some of the cons: Also I felt that the price was a little high for what you got. Drinks were about average price these days, $12 a piece and tip added another $50. Also they sat us with another couple, which I wasn't a fan of, but oh well. Another thing, don't be expecting beautiful scenery on this ride. It was a lot of graffiti on the back side of buildings and shopping centers. Lol.“
“3/9/24 - Try #161 BLT with hard boiled egg sandwich with fries. Best fries in Butler County, always nice & crisp outside, flakie inside and always hot. Bean soup as well the service is excellent. Thank you Sam. Great place for breakfast or brunch too.“
“When this place came recommend, I wasn't sure what to expect. However....I'm glad we decided to try it!!! This place has some GREAT food! Grilled chicken sandwich was the BOMB! Juicy, fixins were fresh, bun was, fresh, French fries were great. Atmosphere was pleasant, waitress (Cameron) was EXCELLENT at her job! I would definitely visit this place again.....and again! Trust me you will not be disappointed!“
“My favorite local restaurant! The burger special is my favorite weekend bite to eat. The fry seasoning is insanely good on their crispy shoestring fries. And when I took my mom, she raved about the cucumber sandwich. Staff is always friendly when my boyfriend and I go. I’ve dined in and had delivered and I’ve been satisfied with both, but definitely prefer sitting in the restaurant as I love the atmosphere.“
“Last time we came here we had a gift card for Oakley kitchen, and the man working at the time (April 16th 2024 actually) did sketches and drawings and was super nice, (also the burgers are phenomenal) he figured out how to use the gift card perfectly fine and even rung us up a second time for another order. We came again today and they suddenly can’t take the gift card, it’s a 100 dollar gift card and there’s only four places even open here with fat Al’s being one of the two places we’re interested in. Really dissapointing as it was used perfectly fine the last time TWICE and we drove half an hour to get here specifically for their burgers. The manager was on the phone and said they were one of the last people to switch to using a card (or something like that??) but again it worked last time we came so that doesn’t make any sense :/ our visit today was on 4/30/24.“
“The place was very clean and the ambience was perfect good smell the whole dining area ,staff very accommodating and very kind for sure will coming back again and again ♥️Parking: You can park Infront of the restaurant have a huge parking area“
“Our Adult Reading Book Club met here. This was everyone's first time visiting this location. Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. We are looking forward to returning for our Ladies night out. Marty's house salad and the Adult grilled cheese, are worth the purchase.“
