“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

“I knew it would be a cool place when the door knobs were gas pumps. Everything was detailed down to the napkin rings. It lived up to its name for sure. The food was amazing! Our waitress Cozy, I can't say enough about her. She had the best personality, super sweet and when we had decided what we wanted she definitely told us about our choices, like how they are prepared, what they come with and if she had tried them herself.

“Wanted to take a lil moment to give a shoutout to the Silver Ladle employees <3 the food is really good but what keeps me coming back on my lunch break is the staff. They are all so so kind, especially the two lovely ladies who normally work register/food hand-off. They remember my name and my go-to orders, and always take the time to ask me about my day with genuine interest, even if they are busy, and while still maintaining efficiency. 10/10 service experience every time !!“

“I went in for lunch on August 15th and was very impressed by the service. Quinn was on top of everything and even though I just ordered a salad and fries, he treated me as if I had ordered the most expensive entree and bottle of wine. He kept refilling my drinks and made my lunch very enjoyable. I used to wait tables and can recognize great service when I receive it. Thank you to Quinn and J Alexander's.“

“Great food! But no restroom for customer use!“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“If you want to have a unique experience I have just the restaurant for you. Travelers Table just opened in Fort Thomas and its a culinary trip around the world. Angie the bartender is welcoming and helpful in choosing dishes. From starters to desserts there is food from various parts of the world. The plates are tapas style and .can't to be shared.
We started out with Muhammara from Syria. Its a delicious dip served with warm pita.
Next we got the Country Pate from France. It was a favorite of both of us.
Our most unusual dish, Adjarian Khachapuri from Greece was a bread boat stuffed with cheese and an egg yolk on top which is smeared across the bread when its served. The cheeses were tasty and the dish is gilling.
Lastly, we had the Gambas Al Ajillo from Spain. It was 4 shrimp in a delicious sauce accompanied by baguette bread.
They also have a drink menu, which we tried several, that, are from various parts of the world.
The chef owner is the genius behind the menu.
We can't wait to go back.“

“Chris was our server in the bar area today and he was great! Attentive and let us chat while keeping our glasses full. Food was fantastic! Ordered the white wine chicken and the caramelized grilled sea scallops. Delicious and recommend both. Dishes are seasonal so the menu changes regularly. Beautiful atmosphere and very pretty bar area. Small patio area to sit outside or inside with the windows open.“

“I went to Herb and Thelma’s for the first time. It did not disappoint. Very tasty, juicy burgers. Delicious sauerkraut. Manhattan to rival any other Manhattan from an upscale bar. Everyone is friendly. Such a fun atmosphere. Be prepared to be surprised by the food and friendly atmosphere. Cash only.“

“Always enjoy this place. Food is always fresh and so good.“

“We had a great brunch on Sunday on our way out of town . My son has a lot of allergies and they were very accommodating and generally just pleasant people working there !! Will come back anytime I’m in the city“

“Literally some of the best views in the city !“

“I came to the Summit to attend a birthday celebration in their ballroom. Dorothy provided outstanding service without making me feel like I was a burden. I have a hard time chewing, and she happily switched my food for me. It's little acts like this done with a smile that really make nights like this memorable. Thank you!“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“My favorite place to go to inside of Findlay Market!!! The salmon, pasta Florentine, and green goddess slaw are a MUST! The Brussels sprouts and the wild caught shrimp are also incredibly delicious. This is incredibly affordable in my opinion, because they will give you 3 for $10.99… and it’s like a home cooked gourmet meal!“

“This was a very horrible dining experience we ordered there ribeye and added there bacon jam to steak when steak came out both were missing bacon jam the waiter took off before we could tell him finally got the bacon jam on side my steak was tasteless the salad maby had 5 sprigs of cheese on it garlic vegetables almost tasteless small portions when waiter brought our bill he held it in his hand not showing us and said I will take your payment my husband said can I see bill first lol oh ya and handed it to us 85.00 the steaks were 32 00 a piece the menu in restaurant said 27.00 and on line menu said they were 26 the waiter said inflation let me get manager who said the online menu was not there’s in one breath and in next breath said said he would let them know to change it and walked off we were from Illinois visiting ark encounter it was our anniversary so I will be sure to tell everyone in Illinois if they visit Don’t eat here and I scratched out tip on receipt I always leave an 18 to 20 percent tip but not today here’s your tip you are rude and outrageously priced“

“Let me start with saying if you’re looking for good food, good vibes and super service THIS is the place. Also, super conveniently located right off the exit and right next to Trader Joe’s - can we say DOUBLE WIN We swung in just for some brews and bites and hit the jackpot! The band was in full swing - highly recommend checking out Second Take if you’re in the Cinci region - we lucked out and caught the show right as we sat down. Super chill environment too, not overcrowded and our waitress Stevie was PHENOMENAL 👌 Quick to grab our drinks, didn’t forget me when I asked for refills, grabbed our apps out the gate and hooked us on the napkins because ya girl is a messy eater 😆 she even answered my 100 questions about what local brews they offer (which, if this is your forte, def check out their selection - I was impressed) Anywho, 10/10 service, food, atmosphere and generally just a cool spot to check out that’s 15 min from anywhere as soon as you hit the highway in the Queen City 🤙“

“Delicious breakfast and the blonde working the register was the perfect person for a first impression! She was so friendly and took great care of us!“
