“The dining experience commenced once we walked through the door. Our greeting was pleasant, the atmosphere was delightful, service was great and the food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you Lisse staff for making our 20th anniversary dinner a memorable one.“
“Our party of 4 arrived at 1:00 for the Sunday brunch. It wasn't crowded at all. Though we've been there many times over the past decades, our daughter in law had never been there, so it was a special treat for her. The guys really enjoyed the prime rib. I especially liked the crepes. Oh, so good. There were breakfast and lunch foods available, so you could choose either...or both! We had a lovely time there and definitely plan to go back sometime.“
“This is the best restaurant in Cincinnati hands down. Not only is the food unbelievably delicious, but the ambiance is stunning. Most of all, the service is impeccable. They really make the experience very personalized to whatever occasion you are celebrating. Erick was our server and was very knowledgeable of all the items and provided great recommendations. The assistant manager, Jared, was also very attentive and friendly. Such an incredible experience, we can’t wait to go back!! Get the butter pie for dessert!!“
“We celebrated our Mom's 81st birthday and could not have been more pleased. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The service was top notch. Our food was delicious, every single item, including the scallops, the salmon (my favorite), of course the steaks (tender and juicy), and all the sides (especially the Brussel sprouts). And then there was dessert!! Carrot cake and butter pie were the top favorites of our group.We appreciated the attention to detail and our experience was excellent!!“
“This was our first time here. Our kids brought us - their treat! It was one of the best nights out we have had in years! The food was scrumptious, the service was top notch and the company was second to none! I highly recommend! This visit was one for the memory books!“
“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.“
“The food was good. Service was good. My only problem is that a mistake was made were I was charged with my friends food for $134 when my bill was $28.03. The waitress and manager fixed the mistake but there was never a simple "sorry" or "we apologize".Still a good place to eat.“
“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.“
“My family came for Easter brunch today and it was amazing. My girlfriend and I had not been before, and we were impressed quickly. The crab cakes are the best I have had, and the lemon-grilled shrimp was delicious. The crab & cheddar quiche was very good as well as the shrimp cocktail. My girlfriend enjoyed the mimosa, too. Our waiter, Max, was fantastic.“
“Our Server Brianna "Bree" was simply astonishing, phenomenal, fantastic. The food as always here was great. The service was over the moon. Have not had such great service as Bree provided in a long time. She is a keeper. Other servers should take notice. I am sure she is banking on tips!!! Great personality and on it the entire meal. Thanks, Bree, for making my son's Birthday meal the best!!!“
“The waiters and hostesses are so kind! Definitely worth the wait, but luckily there is a waitlist feature. The combo platters are the best! The sirloin is greatttt, wasn't a huge fan of the bbq chicken, the steaks were better. The chicken tenders were delicious though! The crispy ones!“
“Had great service, great food, great Southwest Shrimp App. Prices are a little higher than the average chain Steakhouse, but worth it in my opinion. Wait was about 30 min with the app check in. Our server was very aware of refills as well as checking back. We will be back !! Good this time!“
“Kendall, our server was wonderful! Answered all of our questions and spot on for delivery of our food. My problem was our seating. Our reservation was for 5 pm, we arrived 15 minutes early and were promptly seated just outside an empty private room that they seated 6 people who became very loud! And then seated another group of 4 on our opposite side. I'm checking out this mostly empty restaurant scratching my head and wondering why.“
“Been here a few times but it's always been great. Everyone is so friendly and the food, presentation and service is always great. Going there is just like a step back to old times. Always makes you want to order a Manhattan or a dirty martini.“
“I give the food 3 stars, not because the taste but the lack of attention. I ordered the steak and ribs combo with loaded bake potatoe, and my steak was overcooked, and my potatoe didn't come with sour cream. Now Lauren, our server, made everything right and was fantastic otherwise. The place was slammed, so I can't be too critical. And even with the minor mishaps, I'm willing to give it another shot. My wife's food was perfect so that was a plus.“
“*UPDATEMARCH 2024 - My lamb chops weren't anything like before. It's like they are rushing orders. I completely understand, due to "Lamb Chop Season". Both of my orders were completely horrible.I get the same meal every time. Thing is the price is always different. I don't get that.“
“My friends and i came in for a birthday with 16 people and had Sher as our waitress and had the best experience ever. Food was so good and huge portions and the drinks were so good too. Vibe was fun and everyone took great care of us! Shoutout to Sher and Yardhouse 10/10“
“We were given a table in the main area, the lighting was definitely on the brighter side and didn't come off as romantic. My husband and I both ordered the filet, medium rare. The food, overall, was fantastic. His filet came out medium well and dry. We pointed it out to the waiter who handled it and ordered another steak for him to be cooked properly. The manager even came over to apologize. It wasn't a huge deal, we were very understanding but it did take another 20 minutes. When we got the bill, they had actually added the 3rd steak to the tab. It was corrected when we brought it to their attention but how do you accidentally add a 3rd steak to the tab??? I'm glad my husband checked but I was fully expecting a comp of some sort on the bill for all the inconvenience. I wonder if this has happened to anyone else and they didn't catch it.“
“Me and the husband go at least once a week during the weekday, not on weekends. We always sit at the bar and order a drink and food. Usually cheese fries and a filet with salad and loaded potato. Bartender always greets us and takes our drink order. Service is pretty fast, and if there is a problem, you don't need to wait on a waitress or waiter. The bartender handel's it. So far, we have only had one problem with an undercooked steak, and it was fixed quickly. I would definitely recommend sitting at the bar if you only have a few people.Parking: Parking in front of and throughout main parking lot.“
“We just had a meal at this restaurant. We’ve been here a few times and it’s usually really good every time we go. That tells you there’s great management. I had the salmon today and my husband had a ribeye and let me tell you what every single thing we ordered was perfect. It was cooked perfect. It tasted perfect. It was an amazing meal. Good job guys.“
“I am really only leaving this review as a response to the AMAZING server that my husband and I had today. We went to get lunch here and a man named Hunter has absolutely restored my faith in male servers. Think what you want. However, in my experience , male servers are just not that attentive. He was that and more! Hunter presented himself very well and was very polite and well spoken. I like to put credit where it is due and I just want to thank him for providing a great experience!“
“Its always been a great dining experience for us. Our side wedge salads were very tasty. My filet was delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife had the Scallop Risotto. It was very good as well although she found it a bit too salty. The Brussel sprouts were delicious and plenty. Topping it off was the banana cream pie. A very nice evening with plenty of time left to get to our show!“
“We had dinner here today with a party of four. I had the ribs, mash potatoes and a caesar's salad. My wife had the wings and a salad. The others had steaks (No complaints and they ate all their food). My meal and my wife's were pretty good, better than I expected. Our server Hailey was very good and she managed several large tables at the same time. The restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly. We hope to return.“
“This place has went down, the bread is so hard and both the managers are so nonchalant and very unfriendly, niether of the 2 greeted not one customer that I seen or even cracked a smile, so unpleasant as Managers ! Carl walked around like security at this point just throw him on a security uniform, and for Kathy she’s a Karen !!!! They should have kept her in the kitchen as a kitchen manager so is not ppl friendly at all !!!!“
“The food tasted great and our server, Markey, did a terrific job. We were seated in the side room, and a large, noisy group was seated next to us. The room is all hard services, so the acoustics are bad. My guest and I sometimes could not hear each other.“
