“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!“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I don’t have anything bad to say. We ordered 75% of the menu, both desserts… different cocktails, ALL of it was astounding.

Our highlights were the short rib, tuna tartare, ricotta & honey, the BAKLAVA. But honestly, there probably isn’t one bad item on this menu.

It was absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Our server Alex was so kind and fun, we had THE BEST, time and meal. We live in Columbus and we will certainly be back, It may seem extreme, but it’s worth the drive.“

“Nice quaint pizza spot. Good food“

“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 !!!!!“

“This has been our go-to spot for celebrating big milestones. Most recently, we celebrated our son's 21st birthday here, and he was genuinely impressed by the thoughtful attention from the staff—from the birthday card placed on our table to the special dessert they brought out. Every visit feels special, and it's always a wonderful experience.“

“SUCH a cute gem in madisonville! Great coffee and bakery. They have an outdoor courtyard and patio, and they allow pets! I’ve brought my cat on a harness and leash multiple times and they are so welcoming.“

“4 of us were doing what we fondly call a Nibbles and Sips excursion in Ludlow yesterday. We have done them in several locations throughout the United States. So happy we stopped here. Atmosphere, staff, service and of course the food were all amazing. we nibbled on 4 dishes plus split 2 of the desserts along with a fine bottle of vino. Now that we have found this place we will bring a large group to do another Nibbles and Sips event here. Thank You“

“We were seated in our favorite booth for a special occasion dinner. Traffic had been bad, called restaurant & they very gracious about us being a little later than reserved. The place was hopping especially for a Tuesday evening yet service and food were spot on. Food is always consistently tasty and cooked just right. We had ahi app, scallops and lamb. Wonderful dinner.“

“Ronnie and Molly are great! The loaded tots are killer!“

“Celebrating our 15th anniversary at The Blind Lemon. Few of our date nights there! My partner Joel
Mellon has been there in 1984! When we met in 2003 we came here often! Our favorite drink is the Grand Mariner warm! The solo guitarist voice was amazing! The magical part of the night was as we were about to leave she sang our song! Norah Jones ‘ come Away With Me’
It was perfect! The night ended well!’
?❤️?“

“We had a wonderful private party for my husbands retirement. Everything was wonderful from the environment , food and drinks! Highly recommend!“

“1215 has a great atmosphere. The coffee, tea, wine, and cocktail selection are what you want from a later night wine and coffee bar. Loved the ambiance. Service was great. It's very cozy and warm. I can't wait to visit once the weather cools. I highly recommend.

The only thing I found interesting was that I wasn't able to tap to pay. This is not particular to 1215. There was no parking app or ability to tap to pay for parking either. I just relocated from another city and rarely carried cards or cash.“

“I’m not a wine person but my wife wanted to try a wine bar and we decided to come to Skeleton Root. When talking to the staff I informed them of my lack of wine knowledge. They were very helpful and professional. They recommended a couple of different wines which we tried and to my astonishment, I enjoyed a couple of their wines. The atmosphere was rustic and laid back which I loved. It was a lovely experience and I would like to thank the staff for their suggestions and their help.“

“One of my favorite places to eat. I love the food. Wine selection is good. Service is good.
I have two issues with this place.
#1. They charge $10 cork fee per bottle of wine on everyday but Thursday. That’s a crime. They claim that their wine is cheaper than other places so it justifies the cork fee, but that’s simply not true. I can get most of them cheaper at Krogers. I don’t agree with being penalized $10 per bottle to drink it there. Therefore I rarely go there any longer unless it’s a Thursday. They could at least cut it back to one $10 fee per night.
#2. When they have a live band they bring the tip jar around to each table and expect you to tip the band. I know where the tip jar is and I usually tip the band, but I don’t like how they somewhat force you to tip them by bringing it to your table. Especially when I’m trying to eat my food.

“Today we picked Fireside cause we wanted to try some Cincinnati pizza! All I can say is what an amazing place. The gentleman working was amazing!! Helped tell us about other places to go, had us try some different draft beers, they made the best pizza’s even my kids loved all the different types and loved drawing plates to put on the wall. If we were to ever come back this way definitely would be coming back! Recommend 100x!!“

“Our Greyhounds loved it and you will to!“

“Amazing food, beverage, service & atmosphere!!!“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“Wonderful space for a gathering! Just celebrated my birthday here and everyone had a great time! Anthony, one of the owners, was a pleasure to work with and had a fantastic recommendation for a caterer (Kate’s Catering in Bellevue)! Would recommend!“

“We had the Caesar salad, cacio e pepe, and pepperoni pizza. The food was great and the pizza was excellent. Service however left a lot to be desired. The server never came to check on us after we received our food and we had to go in and ask for our check. Also, no mirrors in the bathroom.“

“They have the best carrot cake!“

“Wonderful group of ppl with some awesome pizza and calzones. Only thing I wish they also had would be some wings but other than that great experience with my coworkers from Central Window Cleaning out of Columbus“

“Nice very relaxing 😌 We had a great time .“

“Stopped in for beers while visiting Second Sunday on Main after seeing 4 hot guys in a row go inside lol. Very fun and friendly neighborhood bar. Kyle the bartender is awesome! Although I live in Hyde Park I’ll definitely be upping my OTR game and visiting again“

“Nice laidback spot in Westwood. Great selection of tea, coffee and wine . Pastries were great too.“

“The World Glass team is incredible! They helped curate the perfect night for a bar crawl I co-hosted. Amber was our point person, and I could not be more grateful for her guidance and excellent communication! Not only did she assist us in the planning process, she collaborated with us to create a bespoke bar crawl shot, even allowing us to name it and showcase it on their outdoor sign! Such a thoughtful touch. Upon arrival, Nae made fabulous drinks, effortlessly tending to our large group's needs. Exemplary customer service all around. I highly recommend getting in touch with Amber and the World Glass team for your next event!“

“What a CUTE coffee shop 😍😍 The inside is absolutely darling and has plenty of space to sit and enjoy your coffee and breakfast. We opted to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful weather. Super dog friendly which is always great to see. And lots of breakfast options. We got the quinoa bowl for a gluten free option and it was so good. The sausage in it was very light and everything else was very filling. They also had some fun gluten free muffins and a s'mores bar that was super tasty!! Definitely recommend if you live in the area or are just visiting 👌“

“We recently ordered from The Park Pour for our holiday staff party. The food was wonderful, as always. Beautiful salads, deviled eggs & more. Ordering was easy & their team is always helpful. One of my very favorite restaurants- highly recommend!“

“Good tap selection. Hundreds of canned and bottled beers to choose from.“

“UPDATED REVIEW: 4-30-25 Dining Experience

The traveling manager, Justin, reached out and invited me back in to try Forno again. This visit was spectacular from service (Maiya was amazing!) to the entire meal and after! We got the Burrata appetizer and a delicious saffron ball appetizer to start. Then, we got the half and half pasta bolognese and wild boar which were full of flavor! We also got a bottle of wine half off for ‘Wine Down Wednesday’! Thank you for reaching back out to make up for the prior birthday visit debacle. I would highly recommend Forno to anyone and also insist that you try their ‘Pope’s Chocolate Salame’ dessert because it is, without a doubt, the best dessert I’ve ever had. You won’t be disappointed!

Original review from my birthday dinner in November of 2024:

Dined with a party of 6 at Forno for my birthday (also noted on the reservation) and was very excited since it was my first time here and the reviews were anything short of wonderful!

I’ll start with what was slightly disappointing and end on a high note:

We were sat by a friendly host and were then introduced to our server. He did not ask if we were celebrating anything nor did he wish me a happy birthday. We were treated as any regular table (which is fine, I did not ask nor expect any “special” treatment). I suppose I was just hoping for a simple “happy birthday!!” enthusiastic verbal recognition or a candle in my dessert (that we were happy to and did pay for). I mean, hey, who doesn’t want a candle or someone to wish them happy birthday?

We had a pretty substantial bill so it wasn’t that we had hardly ordered anything. I will chalk it up to the restaurant being busy during this time. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a bit disappointing and my friends also commented that he didn’t even say happy birthday or give a candle.

The food was good. I liked my dish and my partner said his was decent. Other feedback from members in my party were “delicious! I want to try another dish now too but I am too full!” and “maybe a bit too salty for my tastes but otherwise good!”

The dessert salami was what blew me away, I wish I could order the entire thing (loaf?) of it, ha!

Not sure I would return to celebrate anniversary or anything, but maybe for a casual meal.“

“Coffee and raspberry tart were delicious“

“Customer service was tap tier this afternoon. The young lady who took our order was super friendly and I like that. I only come for the sushi and it’s always exceptional. I got the sweet potato roll and the spider roll. Our fav was the spider roll. I try to pick a different one each time I visit.“

“The food was outstanding it was my first time there“

“My girlfriend and I really enjoy the atmosphere and music at Nostalgia. I like the diverse crowd; a little bit of everybody there. Younger, older, and business people all enjoying good music and good vibes. For the record Im 49 yr old Blk male.“
