New American Restaurants near Fort Thomas, KY

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters and everything we got was delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and for the quality of the food I think it’s priced very well. I will definitely be back and have already suggested it to many friends and family. Highly recommend!“

“Very good quaint place Pizza was really good“

“Seasons 52 is consistently perfect - delicious food, wonderful service and an upscale "fine dining" ambiance, yet offering very reasonable prices. Had lunch at Seasons 52 on our most recent visit, and was thrilled with the lunch menu choices including their flatbread pizza + side option. My husband ordered off the regular menu, selecting the trout (which is a difficult dish to find in a Cincinnati restaurant) and which he described as absolutely delicious. Our server, Lindsey, was informative and attentive, and the overall setting made for a relaxing mid-week lunch.“

“Dinner with friends before a concert. Wait was only 15 minutes and they were able to sit us on the patio as requested. Service was okay. We understand they were busy but drinks seemed to take a while. Food came out staggered which was okay but not ideal. My choices were very good. Both under the 700 calorie list. Everything seemed very fresh and the flavors were balanced very well and not lacking. My steak was cooked exactly as requested.“

“Came for Thanksgiving buffet; cannot say enough good things! Food was outstanding, everyone working was so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. Five stars!“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Service, menu, price, atmosphere are my favorite in all of Cincinnati.“

“I live in FL, but travel to Ohio often, and visiting The Hamilton Cincinnati is always a must, and usually more than once each trip. The craft cocktail menu changes as it’s always fun to try their new drinks. Last night I had the newly added ‘Raspberry Beret’ and their Old Fashioned is my personal fav of all time. Their wine selection is impressive and priced right so you can come back often and eat too. I love that! The food offerings are creative and tasty and the portions are perfect for sharing. Being a Cincinnati girl, I enjoy being able to get the brat plate, (the brats being pre scored into bite sized portions, served with mustard for dipping and paired with a sampling of sauerkraut and roasted potatoes which are great to add to that brat on your fork). I can’t get that in my corner of FL year round. The warm goat cheese plate is another outstanding favorite as well, and they happily obliged my request to substitute pita bread triangles in place of the crostini. The decor is beautiful and comfortable, the patrons and staff are friendly, and Northside is fun to visit as well. This is most definitely a great place to try! Highly recommend.“

“Excellent service and Food. Compliments to the Chef and staff. Had French Pork Chop. Absolutely phenomenal! Fried Green Tomatoes - best I’ve ever had! Martini was also perfect! Very classy place! Highly recommend! Wish there was a location near me!“

“We ate here for the first time last night , it was packed but we were seated right away and they moved us over to be closer to heat with no issues whatsoever; our server Emily was super sweet and the hostess as well !!! We can’t wait to come back, our food was delicious and great servings … Emily was very attentive and was great with recommendations .. hubby is a cook and can be a little picky haha 🤣 but he LOVED everything he even wanted to tip whoever made the Mac and cheese anywho 10 stars ⭐️“

“Was there on 6/21/25 and it was the best and awesome food and probably the best waitress we have ever had (Jala?). Highly recommend and will definitely be back to eat there again.“

“Amy was a great server one of the best experiences I had in a restaurant in the longest time will be back“

“We had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner! The restaurant is gorgeous and very welcoming with great music playing. Our server was very friendly and did a great job telling us about Mad Tree and explaining the menu, and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend Alcove!!“

“Our meal was delicious. The service was excellent! We highly recommend La Bar a Boeuf! I had the crab cake appetizer and it was very good-2 large crab cakes. My husband had the escargot-very good. I had duck for the entrée. Again, I recommend this dish. My husband had the soft shell crab??. We were too full to have desert!“

“My wife and I frequent Maplewood on the weekends for brunch. There are many options in downtown/OTR/northern Kentucky for breakfast on the weekends, but Maplewood is our favorite. The menu has a nice variety of American breakfast options, as well as healthier alternatives. We love the Guajillo Bowl and Mediterranean Bowl, but the Maplewood Hash is also delicious if you are in the mood for something a little heavier. The GM, Erik, often recognizes us and welcomes us back. Erik and his staff always do a great job with service, and mitigating the crowded weekend mornings. Bring back the Chicken Tiga!!! Note: It's first come, first serve seating and you are supposed to wait in line and order before being seated. However entitled guests sometimes circumvent the line and save tables for the rest of their party waiting at the back of the line, whom have yet to order. This often throws off the flow of available tables, because the people whom waited in line and just ordered, now do not have a table. It can get busy here on weekends, but if you go, don't be one of these people, please wait in line like everyone else. The line moves quickly and the staff turns over the tables quickly as well. The couple of times this has happened to us, the staff promptly sat us at the bar and gave us a discount on our breakfast.“

“Trio is the best! Can't say enough good things about the food and service! Kaitlyn our server is beyond fantastic!“

“Pretty cool place. They change their menu up every now and then but always good food. The fish n chips were delicious, big juicy pieces of fish!“

“Tasting and food was great. Also, service at tasting bar and dining table was great.“

“Absolutely brilliant meal. Lovely fine-dining experience with a chef that nailed every dish.“

“In town for our anniversary. Randomly looked up options for cocktails and lunch. Reserved a spot via Open Table and they did not disappoint. The deviled eggs are amazing. The Dirty French burger and Neck Bone Gravy were out of this world. Service was top notch. We will be back!“

“Amazing experience at Wildweed and what an addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. We did the chef's table with wine pairing and they knocked it out of the park. From the service, every single person acknowledged and welcomed us to the food (so creative, delicious and locally inspired), to all the small touches of high end glassware for wines, beautiful furniture. I don't know how every single person is not raving about this spot. Can't wait to go back, as it's been the best meal in the city. With fine dining spots in the city lost like Table, Nuvo, L, this one I hope stands the test of time for a new modern type of fine dining.“

“Seating:
Table was clean but awkward seating placement. Pretty slow day on a Wednesday.

The wine:
I got the basic marrlow Wine. It has sat for a while. Slightly separated with a hint of bitter. It smells fresh. Slight cranberry flavor but mostly tastes like it hd sat hu hasnt aged. Doesn't slide down easily, definitely a sipping wine. Would be paired well with a chicken, or something light to contrast the dark undertones of the wine.

Service and atmosphere:
Asked about allergies.
Asked about getting me a special wllergy safe menue.
New her menu very well.
Good scenery.
Nice sense of music.
There is a mix of dark subitiabilty mixed. It gives outdoor Deck well still having the comfortably of a high end diner.
Very hotel esk.
Service was attendant and open. As well as quick moving.
Air ventilation is good
Waiter also left

The food:
Asked for medium, god medium well. Not the worst for a burger, but would be worried about a steak.
Burger is very well made. The bread for being gluten free held up quite well and it was seasoned very good. One of the best I've had.

Upelled me on desert, the experience was so good I took it. I am looking forward too trying this.

Better menu options then ford's garage as far as gluten free or allergy safe options go.

The penutbutter pie: may I just say I was delighted. The airy light sweetness of this pie was one of the best I've ever had, glute free or not. The texture was smooth yet every bite felt varied in a wonderful way only penutbutter can do. It was also very ohio. Reminiscent of the buckies desert tht ohio is known for. The presentation was mouthwatering and it was well deserved. The chocolate sauce felt fresh, sweet, and well placed. The nuts where fresh (ive had many where the nuts where stale) and well placed. My only downside to this pie was the spray on wipcream, which if swapped for homemade would make this pie double the price, but award winning.

Overall rating 4.0/ 5“

“It’s away enjoyable to dine here. Sheli is so personable and attentive to each customer! The food is excellent! And the desserts- to die for! 😋🤤 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great breakfast and a friendly staff“

“always a taste treat with clever choices and healthy too.“

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“Amazing food and community oriented owners“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“thanks for feeding our #primeelite boys tonight before their first tournament tomorrow! showing love to the locals ❤️🔥“

“My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in a new way. This was the perfect choice! The atmosphere was relaxing while having a great time with the themed entertainment. Sitting back and enjoying a 3 hour dinner with no phones gave me peace and relaxation. The food was good but the service is the best. Every person was friendly and helpful; making the experience more memorable.“

“The waffle and chicken combo hits hard — crispy, a little sweet, with just enough kick in the sauce. Brunch crowd was heavy but moved quick. Inside was busy but not chaotic, staff kept it moving. Great place for something filling that doesn’t feel heavy-handed or overdone.“

“Alway done me right great staff and on time“

“Food was excellent for everything but the bread pudding. It was overpriced, over cooked and tough. I definitely don’t recommend this as a dessert choice. Ribs and steaks were delicious and service great.“

“I can get a great lunch for $5.99!“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

“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.“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“Best pancakes you will find! Very nice staff and management“

“My biggest challenge has been wanting to shop for quality locally sourced food, but understanding that I may need to go to multiple markets to find everything I need. Findlay Market has EVERYTHING.. from eggs, to produce, to fresh meat, seafood, seasonings, and etc. I can grab a beer and shop. I love it. Disclaimer: Don’t come near closing time because they start packing up before they close. Which I get but just make your hours end earlier than saying you’re open to the public until that time. 4 o’clock means 4 o’clock lol. If you want out by 4 then say you’re done earlier than that. They will say they will close early if it’s not busy, but I’ve seen a packed house and multiple shops completely shut down already lol. Golden nugget: the meat market in the middle has the most remarkable blueberry maple sausage. You’re welcome.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food was fIlling and tasty! Highly Recommend!“

“I had the “ In the Beginning “ with a side of fruit. It was well cook and presented.“

“COA would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for Topped Fries Food Truck exceptional service today. Their prompt and thorough responses to all of my inquiries were invaluable and truly made a difference. The delicious food options they provided was outstanding, receiving nothing but rave reviews from our staff. We look forward to having you back again.“

“Wed, 2/28/24, Management told one of our trivia team members that she is no longer welcome because she spoke to trivia host and he felt threatened by her. She talked to host after trivia and told him she thought the questions we no longer "general knowledge" trivia. While her remarks may have been harsh, we feel she should have been warned that her behaviour would not be tolerated in the future but not forbidden to return to play trivia. Our trivia team spends 140.00 to 160.00 each Wednesday, not to mention the amount of tips the server was making (30 to 50 dollars). She also told management team that host drinks too much during trivia and they denied that. By the hosts own admission over the microphone, he has asked people to stop sending him drinks because "I'm getting drunk guys". She was told he is allowed 1 alcoholic beverage while doing trivia. WHO HAS EVER HAD A JOB WHERE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DRINK ALCOHOL?? We will probably NOT be coming back to trivia if all of our team members are not welcome. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR TRIVIA....WHICH I HAD SELECTED ORIGINALLY!!“

“The food from Kinneret was beyond amazing for the Super Bowl!“

“Very good Appetizer Crab Cakes and Fish and Chips. Delicious Carrot Cake. Generous portions. Ben was a great Waiter; very friendly and attentive. Thanks Ben for the excellent service. We just moved from South Carolina and look forward to eating there again.“

“Varied menu with a wide array of options; tasty quality.“

calories: 940* it was hard to pick just one because everything looked so good 😊

ingredients:
kale, arugula, tri-colored quinoa, feta cheese, edamame, carrots, golden raisins, chickpeas, slivered almonds, house vinaigrette“

“we ate in today, my mother and i. our experience with our server, Amber was unlike any experience that we've had before I'm grateful. I haven't necessarily given them the best ratings in the past, I don't remember our server's name those times. Amber however will be unforgettable for the rest of my life and here's why. there were a couple of elderly couples that were seated after us, and she was very familiar with these people already, whereas we were not familiar with her at all. she handled each table differently, accordingly, no doubt with respect and love. heavy on both. I had to call and record a charge on my card and I was kind of holding my mom up and be able to order food and I felt bad because she was starving. somehow some way, Amber had our food out to us very quickly, cooked perfectly, absolutely everything the way that we ordered it. we didn't have to send anything back, we didn't have to ask for anything else extra to be brought to us, she even walked by after a few minutes and brought us extra napkins. I mean, super top notch service. quick, perfect. and that singing voice on that woman oh my god! I was a little reluctant to eat here today because my last few times eating here weren't necessarily the best experience, but I will be back for sure.“

“Great food!! It felt like home. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will eat there again. Definitely! Greens are off the chain! 👍🏾💪🏽😊“
