“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.”

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!”

“The food is amazing, they have a large wine and spirt offering. The staff are always courteous, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Casual dining with an upscale feel.”

“Our waitress Kailyn was so attentive and wonderful! We never had to ask for refills, she was on top of it! The quesabirria tacos were delicious as well as the Chipotle queso with chips!”

“I’ve been here quite a few times now and I just love it!! It’s a tried and true for me! I came here for the first time in Winter of this year and can’t count how many times I’ve been here since.

The ramen is AMAZING. I won’t lie… the ramen, sake, and cocktails are the only things on the menu I’ve tried so far. Everything looks and sounds amazing, but I tried the ramen the first time I went and loved it so much, so usually when I am going there, I’m craving that specifically. I LOVE THEIR TONKOTSU WITH BOK CHOY AND THE CHILI OIL ON THE SIDE SO I CAN ADD IT TO TASTE!! They also have some good sake and drink options! They definitely need to reprint the menu soon because there’s a good amount that I order and they are out of or don’t carry, but it’s not a huge deal. They just need to update it since it’s a reoccurring issue!

The servers are all so lovely and kind. They are attentive, helpful, personable, and care to remember you. I really appreciate all of the interactions I’ve had with them, their kind suggestions, and their conversation!

The place is very lovely inside, though still casual and relaxed! I love Zundo!!”

“We had dinner at the downtown location this evening to celebrate my son’s graduation from the military, and leaving to report to his first assignment. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, several staff members came over to shake his hand and thank him for his service, even the General Manager. We always receive exceptional care from any Jeff Ruby’s establishment, but are so grateful to our amazing server Peter along with all of the other staff who took the time to make our family feel so special. We will support this business until the end of time! Thank you for being such a wonderful place to visit!”

“Pleasant surprise stopping here being too tired to drive to Florence. Beautiful new addition, great menu, amazing 80’s music, wonderful service from Kaileigh! She recommended the sirloin and bread pudding! “Better than Louisiana” and she was right! GO GET IT!”

“Strong's new Newport location has noticeably "upped their game". I've been there the last two Fridays with a group for lunch and EVERYONE agreed that their pizzas were PHENOMENAL. The ingredients and flavor profiles were distinctly fresh and you could tell they aren't aiming to be "just another pizza joint"! 👍”

“Great atmoshphere and good people. I try this place every couple months, but I think the espresso could use some improvement. I'm not sure if it's the actual bean or if the extraction is too weak/long but it's typically a little watery and bitter tasting. They just gotta get their shots dialed and it'll be 5/5. I usually get a cortado, flat white or cappuccino (something espresso forward) so I haven't tried their specialty drinks. Overall, probably the best vibe in Florence, good place to chat or read etc. But if you're there for the espresso I'd say it's okay.”

“A hidden gem on Garfield Place . We decided to throw out the Hyde park restaurants and try something new . The Mezze Board was fantastic with all of the Mediterranean dips and veggies , The Shrimp Cossoult is to die for . The braised lamb /risotta/feta explodes with every bite. The best of all is that it was our first time dining and and I felt like family with the service from Nimo and Bryce , Coming back next week for the Swordfish . 6 stars !!!!!”

“Great customer service!!! I came in one day asking for a blend I didn’t realize was discontinued, they ended up still having the supplies to make it still and made it for me ☺️ made my day!”

“Omg! This place is a must! From the delicious apps to the mouthwatering Baileys chocolate dessert this is a definite 10/10!! Customer service was top tier!! We drove from Ga to Michigan and back and saw this spot on TT so we stopped and we are so glad we did!! Kudos to the bartender, server, and chef!!”

“We went for my birthday to check out the place. Good food and top notch service.”

“Amazing people making incredible sweet goodness!!! Literally the best.”
