New American Restaurants near Fort Thomas, KY

“Delicious! We own a business in Alexandria and had to go to Ft. Thomas to pick up a vehicle. I picked up a carry out order. We each got a different panini. One got a Tower Club, one Caprese with added chicken, one got Spicy Chipotle Chicken, and one a General Thomas. The friendliness and atmosphere of the place was 2nd to none. Enjoyed the visit and loved the food!“

“Very good quaint place Pizza was really good“

“We have been to several Season's locations with very positive experienced. This time, in Cincinnati, the experience was tops. Our waiter, Adam, was attentive and very eager. Service was efficient and food was excellent. We will come again“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Nice wine list, delicious food and gracious service on a comfortable covered patio were all the ingredients we needed, plus great company, to make my Mother’s Day eve special.“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Emillie was a great server! Let's start with the great things. We did apps and sides. Dumplings were so good but broth was phenomenal !!! Burrata and tomato jam was basically an amazing caprese, sooo good. We also had truffle mushrooms which we added to dumpling broth, YUM! and also had the perfect broccoli with just an ok aioli. Was unimpressed with crab avocado toast, not worth the expense. Have had a a lot of crab food options s and this underwhelmed. My husband is a brownie sundae officianato and he seriously loved the s'more brownie dessert. Overall, great food and sat outside away from a noisy interior on a Friday night.“

“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 ⭐️“

“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.“

“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 food and community oriented owners“

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

“Great teamwork and consistent quality. Congratulations!“

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

“Amazing food and great atmosphere! Just what Hyde Park needed!“

“Great breakfast and a friendly staff“

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“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! 😋🤤 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food! The background story is really cool.“

“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!“

“Great staff! Best TAP selection in Anderson & delicious menu. Also, 50% off wine bottles Monday & Wednesday. Definitely recommend !“

“Came for a birthday dinner and the food was on point. Great appetizers, extensive bar menu and a good selection of entrees without having too many options, made the choices pretty easy.

We started with the calamari, pretzel, and cocktail shrimp. Highly recommend all three. Calamari had a little sweet and sour Asian vibe. Pretzel was hot and fresh with umami-filled beer cheese. Cocktail shrimp was fresh and the cocktail sauce tasted housemade and delicious. Didn’t try the house bread. Gotta do that next time.

For entrees, had the BBQ chopped salad, crab cakes, cheeseburger, and tripe stacked grilled cheese. All were super tasty. Grilled cheese had some serious dijon on it - so buyer beware if you don’t love dijon.

Service was great and the total for four was $150 with cocktails, three apps, and entrees all around. Felt like a good deal for the level of service and quality of food.

Mood was quirky diner-chic with dim lighting. Overall a great vibe. Would like to check it out for happy hour, as the bar looked pretty cool.

Highly recommend this new addition to the city!“

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

“A one-of-a-kind evening on the rails!

If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Dinner Train is an absolute must. I recently took the ride and it completely exceeded my expectations.

From the moment you step aboard the beautifully restored vintage railcars, you feel transported to a different era. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the evening special without being overly formal.

I had a delicious four-course meal (the calzone I chose was amazing!), and loved that you pick your entrée when you book. Everything was served hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The train ride itself is smooth and scenic—you catch glimpses of the city that you just don’t get from the road.

Even if you’re not a train enthusiast, this is a wonderful option for a date night, special celebration, or hosting out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, great food, and a little adventure. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and visitors!“

“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 can get a great lunch for $5.99!“

“Polite and friendly staff. The food was amazing👍 The D. Burnhams burger was delicious🍻 4.5 stars.“

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

“My grandson and I enjoyed another lovely meal at Nicholson's. Our favorite item on the menu is the delicious salmon. And we always start with sharing a wonderful Scotch egg. Thanks again for a lovely Broadway Series pre-show dining experience.“

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

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

“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.“

“Went downtown for spontaneous adventure to walk Sawyer Point with our dog . Googled places to eat dog friendly .. Taste of Belgium came up. The staff was extremely kind and spoiled our dog ??! Outdoor seating was perfect! Johnathan our waiter was so sweet even brought special bag of treats for our fur baby.“

“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.“

“Our 10th wedding anniversary was last Friday, 9/20/24, and I can not imagine a better way to have celebrated than the evening we spent here. From the low-lit, rustic atmosphere to the comfy chairs, you are encouraged to relax and unwind from the time you walk through the doors - just what we needed after our long days at work. The crab cake appetizer and both meals (pork chop for me, Trifecta burger for Hubs) were absolutely divine, and fabulous service was provided by the very entertaining Tim and his assistant, whose name I sadly am unable to recall a week later. I can say he was a fine young man who rolled right along with the flow of things and kept pace with Tim like a seasoned pro! We thoroughly enjoyed everything, and we will definitely be back soon!!“

“Shout out to Chef nem,s kitchen for an amazing job catering our bowling party, The wings were amazing, uniquely seasoned enjoyed by all,“

“People were great, atmosphere was great. But for the love of god if you see a strong healthly man come in, please give him more than 5 pieces of steak. I was starving and ended up with a ginormous salad instead of the steak bowl I bought for $15. Thanks“

“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 service and even better food! The Buffalo Chicken Mac was creamy, with just enough of a kick. The cornbread might be a really close second to my momma’s (or better!) 100/100“

“Alway done me right great staff and on time“

“I recently used Kitchen 1883 to provide food options for a party that I had and it was wildly successful. The Caulisprouts were just about everyone’s favorite, but I got so many compliments on the pulled pork w/Tabasco slaw and the Greek wraps (it was a great vegetarian option)too! The team that worked with me to deliver and set up the food was incredible. So friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond!“
