“Got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry and yes that’s what it tastes like!My overall favorite part though was the service. Greeting as soon as we walked in. Explanation of the menu! And then when we received our smoothies they all had cute little sayings, mine saying ‘Make it happen’. I hope they’re different every time bc this little touch really made it a home run and different for me.Thanks for making it happen, Better Blends!“

“It's hard to go wrong at Asiana. The food is consistently fresh & flavorful, the service is friendly & personable, while being efficient, and the prices are reasonable and on par with most other quality Thai restaurants in the region. I have yet to have a bad experience there, and always look forward to my next visit!“

“If you are in the mood for BBQ of any kind, do not pass Pig Candy BBQ by. In fact, you should go out of your way to go to Pig Candy BBQ. (we went to the Kellogg Ave location) It was EXCELLENT. We had the Potato Bomb which is a huge baked potato with your choice of meat on it. I had the brisket on it. The brisket was so tender and so tasty. The sides of chili, cheddar grits and cole slaw were just as good. My wife had the BBQ meat quesadilla and of course EXCELLENT. Dominick took our order and was so pleasant and patient. He gave us all the info we needed about each dish as we took our time looking at the huge menu on the wall. Then when we were eating, he came by not once, not twice but 3 times to see how we were doing. When Patrick brought our food out, it was with a smile. Seating was comfortable with padded chairs inside (some). They have an outside porch area but a bit to chilly and rainy to go out there. BTW...my friend who needs to eat gluten-free was ecstatic about this new place he could go to.“

“Loved our dining experience at Bouqet. Our server Ella was great! We tried the focaccia bread (delicious) and the cheese plate to start. Loved the pickled options. We also tried the steak, meatballs, and salmon. All were so good. The only reason I didn't give full 5 stars due to the noise level from a neighboring table. They were even nice enough to provide a complimentary dessert to apologize for the table's rowdiness. Would definitely recommend and return!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place, the gelato they serve, or the incredible people who work there. True story, they have a specific flavor I absolutely love (sunflower). I ask for it all the time. Well, I hadn’t been in for a few weeks and they had made it. Fortunately they saved me a large cup of it, and gave it to my daughter to give to me. That was so nice and thoughtful, THANK YOU so much.“

“Great experience at the Empanada Box today. The food was excellent. Great variety. The employees were incredibly kind. They offered the kids complimentary cookies. 10/10! Our favorite was the Miami and Bordeaux empanadas. The ship and rice was excellent too.“

“Awesome experience! Dining at Taj Mahal Bar & Grill is not just a meal; it's a sensory adventure that transports you back to your indian roots. With its exquisite flavors, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance, it's no wonder that this restaurant is a beloved culinary destination for locals and visitors alike.“

“My boyfriend and I came in tonight closer to closing. He ordered the steak, shrimp, and chicken hibachi with fried dumplings and I had the teriyaki chicken bento box with spicy crab sushi, and crab Rangoon. The food was SO good. But, I think the shining point of dinner was their young daughter coming up to play with us then later asking if we needed anything. You can tell this is a mom and pop type restaurant and I absolutely love it. I hope to come back in soon!“

“Came here for a celebratory brunch after the flying pig half marathon and it was fantastic! I made a reservation and thank goodness because we got there when it opened and there was already a line at the door! Delicious pancakes and great mimosas!“

“This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the cincy area. The service is amazing. Babu took great care of us this evening. Every thing was fresh and hot. Tried the Chilli Nan for the 1st time, it was incredible. Lamb curry was delicious. Plenty of leftovers for later, but already planning my next visit.“

“Nice spot very affordable I got at 16oz coffee and muffin for under $10 can’t beat that . everyone was friendly and nice I love a good coffee shop. The music was great can get a lil busy so might not always be the best spot for studying. But there is some extra room to study. Wi-Fi available. The dirty hippie is my new go to “

“Food is absolutely wonderful, and the overall atmosphere of the place just makes you feel like you’re in Korea. It may seem pricey to some but the portion sizes make the price totally worth it. I loved it and so did my girlfriend will definitely be coming back.“

“The food is DELICIOUS. The option to make the tortas into salads is really nice. Epilepsy and sound warning: when a birthday is being celebrated, they carry around a flashing light and make a horrible loud noise similar to a taser sound. The restaraunt is small, so there isn't a spot to tuck away in to avoid the light. I would prefer not to dine in again, but I will definitely order take out.“

“For a place that is clearly listed as a bar it has incredible food. It's a cool neighborhood bar that seems to have plenty of locals I went there with a few friends to try the food and I must say the Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and the Giant Pretzel with Beer Cheese were incredible. If you are looking for a fun hangout with a cool outdoor area and good food it's worth a visit. One note is the place is small so it can get pretty cramped in the small indoor space they have.“

“Stop by at this place on the way back home, honestly did not expect anything wow, our mistake! This place is amazing, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Fish and chips had splendid flavour, hisban’s pizza was delicious, our extremely picky toddler ate a decent piece. For desert we got caramel cheese cake (no photo) and husband got doughnut holes. Already recommended this place to our mates.“

“"this is the best quesadilla i've EVER had" -my bf after taking ONE bite olla has been at the top of my list to visit for quite awhile and now? it's gonna be one of our go to's for date nights and when friends & fam are visiting we seemed to have gotten here at the perfect time today too because as soon as we ordered and sat down, it IMMEDIATELY filled up (which is always a great sign for a restaurant, right?). i cannooottt wait to come back here. especially during the summer? sippin a grapefruit jarritos & margarita on the patio? birria drippin down my arms? this is gonna be The Spot.“

“This was my first time ordering here but definitely wont be my last the chicken was perfect down to the season the crunch the juiciness and the spice. I got the fire in the hole sammie and they aint lying when they say its waiver worthy its really hot and i love hot!“

“My experience at this restaurant was truly delightful! Everything on the menu tasted amazing. The cozy, small restaurant vibe adds to its charm, making it a welcoming place to enjoy a meal. During my visit, I particularly enjoyed their Thai dishes and also tried the sushi, which was fresh and flavorful.However, there was a slight hiccup concerning the sushi service. Around 8:45 PM, I wanted to order more sushi for my daughter, but I was informed that the sushi station was closed for the day. This was surprising as their website mentions a closing time of 9:30 PM. It would be great if the restaurant could ensure that all sections remain open until the stated closing time to avoid any disappointment for diners.Despite this, I am giving this restaurant five stars because of the quality of the food and the overall positive dining experience. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for anyone who enjoys excellent Thai cuisine and sushi. Just a small note to the management to maybe keep the sushi bar open till closing, ensuring all guests can enjoy what they offer any time during operating hours.“

“This establishment has been a neighborhood fave for many years. The service and food is top notch, and the ambiance is perfect for families and friends. This is also a super spot for a date. Never be afraid to ask for substitutes in a meal, as they are always happy to meet your needs when able. They have a full bar, a birthday gong if you're celebrating another year older, and wonderful desserts.“

“Amazing food and service! We drive 45 minutes to eat at Sake Bomb. My wife is gluten free and is able to safely eat off the gf menu with multiple offerings, including gf sushi. The food is soooo good. Fresh, tasty sauces, large portions, and the presentations are beautiful. The owner is wonderful and truly seems to care for his customers as he talks with each table. If we lived closer, we would be here twice as much as we are now.“

“Good mango curry. I got it hot level of spice and it was not that spicy but still seasoned well. Good service. Wife's Sesame chicken was only adequate... Overcooked and sauce tasted like it came from a jar. Good apple sake. Good service.“

“Went here on a Saturday a little after noon. We were seated immediately and each person working was super hospitable and welcoming! The atmosphere is friendly and vibrant while still maintaining a upscale (but approachable) scene. The menu is limited and rotates for the time of day which makes ordering easy. Everything is super high quality and definitely some of the best food I’ve had in NKY/Cincy!!! Our server, I think her name is Anette, was really great! Super excited to come back to try their dinner menu. Super great local place!“

“Amazing time. Visiting Covington for a woodworking class we came here on recommendation. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff. Great beers. Wonderful saki. Found things for us and our toddler to eat and we came by the way of the tank shuttle from our hotel in Cincinnati that allowed us adults to both enjoy what we call "spicy beverages"“

“Such a cool pizza restaurant! The vibe was fun and upbeat. We ordered take out, only took 25 minutes during the dinner rush and the pizza was delicious! We had the Pacific Rim minus the jalapeños, it was full of fresh flavor and had a sweetness to it. Boys loved their cheese pizza. The workers were really nice and talked with us. Recommend!“

“Great appetizers and Thai noodles; sushi is medium good. Sauces are all excellent! Our waitress was amazing and brought us extra comments including smokey pepper flakes because we ordered our dish less spicy to share with a child. Good drink selection and good prices.“

“This was the perfect spot to grab a tasty treat after dinner. My friends and I arrived around 9:30 and they were still pretty busy. The 2 people taking orders were helpful and pleasant. Even suggesting what their favorites were. All 3 people in my group got the same thing. A kinder sized vanilla cone dipped in a cherry shell. It hit the spot and was the perfect amount of ice cream to satisfy a craving. They have a great outdoor space with plenty of seating to hang out and enjoy the night and people watch in Mainstrasse village. Will be coming back soon to try more flavors.“

“Omg! I got to say this was one of the best Brunch spots Ive been to. The food and service was amazing. So flavorful and the seasoning… Lets just say no salt or pepper is needed. I can’t wait to try the other menu items. Today we tried the steak and eggs, chicken and waffles, and Banana French Toast. I also had a Mimosa.“

“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.“

“Best sushi I ever had! I went here once in like 2021 because I traveled from Chicago to Ohio to work a car show. My colleagues and I went here and it was THE BEST SUSHI I've ever had. It's been years since I visited and I'm always talking this place up. Well, I finally decided to make a review. I'll have to come visit, just for the sushi because it was EXCELLENT.“

“I'm not a huge chicken fan and I don't eat fish. So why go to 1883 in Union KY for lunch. Well the three ladies I was with wanted to go there. Naturally I complied. I didn't want a huge burger but I wished that they had a BLT. Here is where my rating comes in at a 5! They took the time to make me a BLT and fries. When a restaurant changes something for a picky patron, that left a Very Strong Impression on me. Couple that with one of the best servers that I have ever encountered. His name is Matt at the Union location. If you are fortunate enough to have Matt as your server. You will see what I mean. Kudos Matt/1883 Jerome“

“Better Blends smoothies are a perfect thing to drink before or after workouts, school, and practice because they are filled with many good nutrients that make my body feel amazing!! They have so many different flavors too, and I haven't had a bad one yet! The service is also very fast which makes it an easy choice of breakfast before early school or work!“
