New American Restaurants near Blue Ash, OH

“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.“

“Stopped in this evening 30 minutes before close. Both of the employees were so nice and so wonderful, it was such a nice experience which makes me want to return. They deserve a raise! Chips are kept in a warmer and were fresh, even late, food tasted amazing and I loved all of the unconventional options! I had to take off a star because of the pricing and lack of kids meal options. Kids only have an option of a cheese quesadilla or black bean and rice bowl (no protein), no tacos, and this is really unfortunate. If your child likes anything more than that, you'll be paying $12 for a regular size bowl or burrito that they will eat 1/3 of. I'd love to see different kids options and more reasonable pricing. We love the employees here though, they made our night!“

“It was a great meal and the people was super nice. Totally recommend for a good breakfast!“

“Our waiter provided excellent service and attention. Paced our dinner as we requested. Once we asked for our entrees they came out promptly. Both dinners were cooked to perfection. We even shared our great experience with the manager on exit.“

“Great Food and Views, Friendly Staff. Tomel Did a great job accommodating us. All the Food We had was great and this is a restaurant I would love to come back to when in the area. Plenty of options on the Menu to choose from. I did enjoy their MEDITERRANEAN SALMON*
Expresso martini
Cheese Cake
And no complaints from the other people at our table on the food or service.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Some of the best sammiches in the Cincinnati area!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Amazing food and community oriented owners“

“Another trip to Northstar Cafe at Liberty Center, and another amazing time with family with fresh, excellent food. Family of 7, ordered the Cloud Nine Pancakes (Ricotta pancakes), Mushroom Frittata, The Everyday Egg Sandwich, and side of Scrambled Eggs with Gruyere cheese and Breakfast Potatoes.\nMost of the listed items were tried in prior trips, but the best one this time was the Mushroom Frittata.“

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“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.“

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

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

“Great brewery. Will definitely come back.“

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

“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!“

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

“My sister took me and some family on here for a birthday gift coming down from Detroit. Great time from the moment we took the steps onto the train. All the staff were incredible, the food and drinks were delicious, and it was a fantastic time for an autistic train lover like me.“

“Food is always on point! One of my favorite places to eat out. Service is always EXCEPTIONAL, Amanda is our regular server and she is always attentive, sweet, and provides excellent service every time. Love BJ’s!“

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

“The Chef's Counter at Wildweed was an incredible experience. The space is gorgeous - so many thoughtful touches throughout the restaurant. The atmosphere was fun and energetic. Each dish was creative, beautiful, and tasted incredible. The techniques and transformation of ingredients are next level. It is exceedingly rare to find a restaurant with a unique and interesting concept that is able to execute their vision by creating delicious and intellectually stimulating food without feeling forced. Wildweed pulls it off to the highest degree. This was a meal that will stick with me for a long time. Bravo to the entire team (FOH and BOH), all stellar. There is no way there is a better meal in the city and I doubt there is a better one in the state. This place deserves national recognition.“

“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.“

“Very good Appetizer Crab Cakes and Fish and Chips. Delicious Carrot Cake. Generous portions. Ben was a great Waiter; very friendly and attentive. Thanks Ben for the excellent service. We just moved from South Carolina and look forward to eating there again.“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I am a couple weeks late to writing this - I got the mediterranean bowl and it was PERFECT literally so good didn’t ask for anything to be changed and this was the most yummy food I have ordered out in forever, amazing taste and portions were generous, they gave me a ton of everything! it was just delicious, either this location or tylersville - we can’t remember right now but they gave us the most delicious food and service! the ladies working the front were so amazing to my husband and I when we came in with our baby, they gave us something special for our next visit too and that meant so much we just lost our dad unexpectedly two weeks ago right before christmas so these ladies don’t understand what their random act of kindness meant after we paid for our food! thank you for such a great experience we look forward to coming back seriously craving the mediterranean bowl right now!! currito needs to come to the west side of town“

“Alway done me right great staff and on time“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We made a special visit to TOB The Banks to grab some mussells this last weekend. When we got there, we discovered that they were serving breakfast and lunch and mussells were not on the menu. Our server Journey went above and beyond to get the kitchen staff to whip up some mussells. Hats off to the manager on duty that day as well.“
