“an experience one must have. beautiful setting. Food was very good served in a down home style.“

“Audrey was amazing today, which was only second to the meal!“

“Was looking for a breakfast place, let me tell to you, today we found a great hidden gem. The price was spot on, the portions were great! Staff was super nice and friendly!! Will definitely be back!!“

“I am a member the Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team. Found this great place for the team to eat. Have since made it a regular stop for me and the team when in this area. We are 10 to 20. Time is usually a problem for us, and they have always got-r-done for us. It may seem pricey but what you get is worth it. We average once a month+ here or more. We try to spread our presence around. We have been going here for around 2 years and the food is always great. We have almost had everything on their menu.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. The service and food is always on point. I get the garden hash for breakfast and either the scallops or the mushroom pasta for dinner. I love the ambiance in there as well. They have a nice outdoor area and they have areas you can rent out for parties. Highly recommend.“

“Last night our family unexpectedly stopped in while a large group (20ish people. The staff was quick to make space for us and our waitress was amazing. She got all of our orders correct and even helped me order safely w food allergies. The chefs also did a wonderful job. The food was cooked to perfection and came out pretty quickly considering the size of our group. Great job everyone! Thank you for being awesome. We will definitely be back again“

“I think we caught them on an “off night”. We've been here three times this summer...always been happy with everything. Last night, the steaks didn't taste as great as before. Our server became extremely busy with a large group, and we had to flag down another server in order to get dessert served....took a very long time. If dessert had not been included in the three-course meal, we would've just asked for the check and left. It just didn't seem as “together” as it had in the past and it was a disappointment.“

“I had dinner here last weekend and honestly, everything was phenomenal. The heirloom tomato salad was refreshing on a summer evening. Their cod was tender, and the accompanying chimichurri sauce was divine that I could've slurped it. If you love bananas, you must order the banana bliss for dessert.

Now on to the not so good, which was unfortunate, as the service overall from everyone was friendly. However, the evening was nearly ruined by the waiter who had an extremely offensive body odor. I understand that while serving, you may work up a sweat. But if you're larger, you have to take extra measures (besides a soapy shower), such as wearing an undershirt, anti-perspirant, and men's body powder.

I won't let that deter me and will definitely visit again because Alara is truly a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful aesthetic and food to match.“

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

“We have been to MaineTowne several times now and LOVE their food! Each time has been an amazing experience and they have the best staff! We love their food so much we also do pickup orders when we don’t have time to go for a sit down meal! Highly recommend!“

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

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

“My son & I, from the Columbus area, were in Milford at dinner time. Not knowing what was available near our location, he looked at what was in the area. This was the only place that was different. He had the mushroom Swiss burger, I had the smallest burger; we both had coleslaw. The burgers were delicious! Being hand-pattied was the special touch, as most come pre-formed. We were seated immediately around 6:00 on a Friday evening. Our waitress was prompt in taking and delivery, attentive without hovering. This was a great dining experience!“

“Fantastic place to be. Professional, delicious, and always awesome. Thanks Apple Spice Cincinnati!“

“We had really great service...there were at least 30 of us here and our server, Shell was absolutely amazing! She was excellent..and the food was delicious!!!“

“Thank you so much for accommodating our large group of 12! Bucks is our FAVORITE Thursday night supper spot but we never considered hosting a family celebration there because of space and timing. The Bucks staff and owner made it all work, seating our party as they came, serving those of us who were early with appetizers, and AS ALWAYS, delicious food. The perfect atmosphere for our daughter’s birthday (who has been a Bucks fan for years).“

“A true gem in the heart of Ohio. ??“

“We were there after a soccer game and the server was slammed and she still managed to get to us in a respectable amount of time. The food was amazing and the fries stayed hot all through the meal!!“

“Great roof top area, food was amazing and prices were very reasonable . friendly staff. Will be back“

“My favorite restaurant!!! Been going here for 40 years. Best gravy cheese fries in the world. Best double deckers money can buy.“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

“Love nation kitchen and bar ❤️“

“Friendly, neighborly atmosphere. Service was excellent! Best burger you will have“

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

“Wow! Very good quality and great tasting! Had the brisket, pulled chick and the turkey! And most of the sides! Come get ya some!! 🤤🤤“

“Food was delicious!!! Table was too small for 4 guests. Smaller parties occupied much larger tables.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food and drinks are amazing!! The best service from our server Saige!“

“8/24/25: Haely did a great job handling all tables on Sunday afternoon.

Update: Nov 3, 2023
The service was quick, and food was good. We came for early dinner. It was busier than usual.

Original:
Came for lunch on Thursday. It was not too busy. The service was quick, and our waiter was very nice and friendly.
We ordered the ribeye steak - turned out that it was very good. I would say it's better than Texas Roadhouse. Overall was good.“

“Everything about Main St. Café is superlative. I think they have one of the best burgers in the city. Certainly in the top five of all the burger joints that I have been to, including zips and Dellwood. But on top of that, the last time I was there, I had the homemade
roasted red pepper soup. It was as good as the best soup in any high end restaurant. Service is excellent. As far as atmosphere, it is closer to zips than to Dellwood in terms of atmosphere.“

“Our new favorite place!!“

“Soooooo good! We had the Cesar salad, burgers, spring chicken and focaccia. The quality and freshness of the food was outstanding. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and timely, plus they were very accommodating to our two young kids. We can’t wait to go back and try more items on the menu. Beautiful job on the rebuild!“

“Large American tavern, rarely disappoints. Good burgers, fish and chips and hot sandwiches and salads. Service is good and even when busy don’t feel like it takes long to prepare meals. Good selection of drinks although cocktail selection a bit underwhelming and Guinness not quite as it should be. Everyone loves the cornbread! Today we enjoyed burgers, beer battered fish and chips and classic chicken sandwich.“

“For basic chicken tenders and fries it was delicious. Light attendance day so easy to find a wheelchair-accessible table, but most seating at the eating areas is benches. If unable to find an open accessible table, there are two seating spots with a lower counter at the new bar on the south side of this restaurant that are likely open. Wish the table area had better shade. None of the wheelchair spots were completely shaded.

Wheelchair accessibility: Several wheelchair-accessible tables.“

“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.“

“Im picky about potato salad and theirs is so so good. The meats are all so good it's hard to chose. The cornbread is Grandma approved and she is picky about her cornbread 91 and she loved it. She also had the chicken and loved it. The deserts are nice size and yummy my husband had the chocolate cake said it was really good Granma and I had the banana pudding very good. Wish their prices were a little lower but hey all restaurants are now expensive but the food is worth it. Yummy 😋“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and amazing!!“

“We had great service the other day! Sean was phenomenal! He’s always so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu!“

“Went for the first time and had a blast really good service by my dude Tristan. And great food as well.“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“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!“

“Absolutely brilliant meal. Lovely fine-dining experience with a chef that nailed every dish.“

“Great food, friendly faces and awesome service!“

“We visited here on a Saturday and we had great service. I highly recommend the Pub Burger. We also were here a year ago, and I had the London Bridge fish sandwich, which was also perfect. My wife tried the KI salad. It was really heavy on the onion, which is odd for a salad with cheese crumbles, pecans, and cranberries. Also, the dressing was too sweet and they put too much on. Imagine the sweet onion sauce from Subway. It was an odd combination. Also, the only other downside was that tutor tots were the only side choice unless you wanted to pay an uncharged. Overall, the food is great, and I can't wait to try other menu options.“

“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.“

“First time eating here. I had coffee, orange juice, pancakes, and sausage And some fruit and it was excellent. Grace, my server was generous with the love and hospitality that she showed to all the patrons. Thank you to The entire team for a warm start to a chilly morning! Keep up the good work!“

“As a bloomin’ brands employee myself, the service was suburb. We asked for a bar booth since the bar top was full, and were told it would be 15 minutes verbally. So we opted for a booth in the dining area. We were sat in the FARTHEST corner near the bathroom, although there were available booths near the TVs, showing sports. We obliged. Our waitress, we didn’t catch her name, but we tipped a generous amount for our tab, since we thought she was put in a terrible section for the shift. Thank you for the wonderful service! You deserve an a better section!“

“Food was great. Service was quick and friendly. I wish Cincinnati had more Greek restaurants. I live in Fairfield and we just don’t have any authentic Greek food. I’m very excited my new office is only 4 minutes down the road. I plan on not packing my lunch as much and taking some time away from work. The staff all seemed very friendly and the servers were very kind to children while I was there. I want to bring my family here but the hours won’t allow it because of work and school.“
