New American Restaurants near Blue Ash, OH

“I had a wonderful luncheon experience yesterday at The Brown Dog Cafe with my two best friends to celebrate a 70th birthday! Our waitress, Karlie, was great—kind, she was very accommodating, and the drinks were spot on.

The food was delightful, featuring the duo grilled cheese, southwestern chicken soup, salmon, and the duo salad and soup—perfect flavors and presentation.

I would definitely go back and highly recommend this place to others.

Five stars for the overall experience!“

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

“Staff was very friendly. We built our own bowls and everything was so fresh. I love this place. The quac and salsa were both great. Everything was well over average. I also had the berry blend smoothie which is so good for you and taste so good. The cookies at the end were so big and fresh and chewy. We will definitely be back 11/10“

“If you are staying at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash, then give the hotel restaurant a try. The waitresses and bartenders are extremely nice and helpful. Good size menu for a hotel restaurant. Prices are even better compared to chain restaurants. Water and sodas are complimentary. Food quality is great. Above my expectations completely. Anytime I go to Cincinnati, I will be staying and eating at that hotel.“

“40th birthday celebration with friends and Season's delivered in all aspects. Friendly service from Lindsey plus a celebratory birthday dessert. The entire staff was very welcoming, Dana, Eric, Amanda can make anyone feel at home. Thank you for such a great night.“

“Even after another ridiculous Bengals loss, the Yard House offered some comfort food and fast service as we were on our way to a comedy show (Nate!) at the Heritage and were running a little behind. The food was good and the service was quick and efficient. Solid experience!“

“I love this place Autumn and Kristen are the best bartenders I've ever had!! The food is top notch too!“

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

“Sharon your hospitality and love is absolutely amazing. My husband and I love and appreciate you.“

“The best service ever!
Sebastián was hands down the best server we’ve ever had, super friendly, attentive, and made our visit unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious! My partner ordered a burger and it was incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked. I got the Taco Alderman bowl, flavorful and fresh, every bite was amazing. The dessert was spectacular and the margaritas… next level!

And a huge shout-out to Felipe, the manager, who was absolutely wonderful, so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“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“

“Went here for a date night and left so full and happy!! Our server, Jenny, took such good care of us. It was nice to have the menu and specials explained to us in details and got a lot of recommendations from her, too. We ordered the crab cakes, mussels, lamb rack, their steak and crab special for the night. Everything was cooked to perfection with right seasonings and temp. We really enjoyed the special-the filet mignon was soooo tender and the crab was sweet! It was cool to have a candle lit butter and Cajun spiced lemon on the side for the crab. We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.“

“We had dinner with 7 people and everyone enjoyed their meal. The Gnocchi was phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Always a great time and meal!!!“

“We just had to share a huge thank you to Quarter Bistro for making our son’s night so special! Our 17-year-old son took his girlfriend there for homecoming dinner on Saturday. We had told him to make sure he was ready — check prices, reservations, have enough to tip, the whole parent talk. He chose Quarter Bistro because it’s a place they always drive past, and it felt special to them even though they’d never been. He came home absolutely glowing! He said the food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect — even if, in his words, it was “all older people” 😂. The best part? The manager came out, told them how much he loved seeing young couples there, and took care of their bill. That kindness meant the world to him — and to us as parents. Thank you so much to the staff and management for such a thoughtful gesture. It made their night unforgettable. ❤️ We’ll definitely be visiting soon ourselves!“

“Really great local shop serving hot, fresh food. The owner is super nice and the staff is very friendly! I love the roast beef the most“

“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!“

“My family was very happy with our take-out food from Mezedes. It was delicious and the portions were large. My gyro, for example, had an amazing amount of meat on it. The menu is varied, so we’re looking forward to returning to Mezedes to try some of the other delicious food there.“

“Amazing food and community oriented owners“

“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!“

“I ate at Northstar Cafe in Liberty Township, OH, on a Saturday evening around 9:00 PM. The cashier who took my order was very patient and helpful. I asked several questions about the food since I hadn’t previously eaten at this quick-serve restaurant but she never showed the least exasperation with me.

The music was a little loud. Too loud to carry on a private conversation, but perhaps an acceptable volume for large parties. The interior decoration was pleasant and modern.

I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. My burger was exactly as I ordered it and the French fries were hot and crisp.

I enjoyed my food, the service and (mostly) the ambiance of this Northstar Cafe. If I lived in the area, I would definitely eat there again.“

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“These guys are the best! You can tell the food is made with experience and joy. I highly recommend.“

“Great breakfast and a friendly staff“

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

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“Great brewery. Will definitely come back.“

“We had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner! The restaurant is gorgeous and very welcoming with great music playing. Our server was very friendly and did a great job telling us about Mad Tree and explaining the menu, and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend Alcove!!“

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

“Very romantic. Important to purchase tickets early so that you can request where you want to sit. However, I would like to go again to sit with other people we do not know. Food was great! Ride was good. Probably better in the fall instead of summer. Drinks are a little pricey.“

“Great place !! But …. well ., I’m trying to date Betty 😐🤣🥰✅“

“I feel like a secret has been kept from me...I did a search for "smoothie near me", looking for a healthy smoothie to take to my husband who was stuck at UC West Chester. Currito (what?) comes up on my phone so I follow the directions to Currito. I walked in to a sparkling clean restaurant and was greeted by a friendly staff member. Greeted. Friendly. I'm serious. I shared with this friendly staff member that I've never been to their store and I just need to stare at the menu for a moment. He offer to read off the menu to me. I'm still serious. I ended up ordering a Jimmy Carter and a Thai salad. I complimented the staff for their wonderful service and was then approached by Ashley, the manager, who thanked me for my compliments. No, really! It has been quite a while (maybe never this combination) since I was greeted by a friendly staff member upon entering an incredibly clean and organized restaurant who fulfilled my order to perfection and was then approached by a management staff who gave a care. I will be back. I will share with anyone who will listen to visit this restaurant who serves clean and healthy food because they care. They are doing the right thing. And they're killing it!! Bravo, guys.“

“Emmy Friedrichs is such a delight!“

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

“The woman who took my order was super sweet and patient with my Spanish attempt. We visited El Salvador in June and I am so excited to find this authentic restaurant! Bought a quesadilla and it is wonderful. They also have the cola my daughter discovered during our trip. Cannot wait to return and try more delicious food.“

“Amazing service at 20 Brix! Clay, the owner, gave excellent wine recommendations and really knows his stuff. The atmosphere is classy and elegant—perfect for indoor or outdoor dining. Highly recommend!“

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

“We had a lovely time at this gorgeous restaurant. You can sit up front by the bar area and windows or back by the bustling kitchen. Delicious food and exceptional service. It was quite busy and loud when we were there and you needed a reservation.“

“thanks for feeding our #primeelite boys tonight before their first tournament tomorrow! showing love to the locals ❤️🔥“

“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.“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

“Alway done me right great staff and on time“

“The food is traditional Italian and their prices are great! You can afford to take your date and order a bottle of wine and not spend your entire paycheck! I'll be back and I highly recommend it!“

“Our waitress was Rhianon, and she was absolutely fantastic! Food was great, and service was awesome. Highly recommend the filet mignon and New York strip!“

“Some friends and I who had not seen each other in many years met up at Cooper’s Hawk last night for dinner. We were treated so well in every aspect! They let us catch up for hours and our server answered our many questions about the menu and wine with patience and knowledge. Our food was delicious and the wine pairings were excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially our wonderful server, we had a wonderful evening!“

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

“Stopped in today for Brunch, everything was amazing as always! Maeve was the bartender and I could see she had some guests that thought they were the only people who mattered. She smiled and was very professional. I tip my hat to her for having to deal with entitled people and not even flinch! We always try to get out to Loveland for brunch whenever possible. The staff is wonderfully knowledgeable, food is always delicious, and let us not forget the remarkable cocktails! They even have tasty ones for those who do not drink alcohol! I have to say Tano is my go to place!“
