“I absolutely love this little place. Please visit often so they can stay in business! I I had the mango pomelo warm—it was both soothing and delightful. The owner suggested it and he didn’t steer me wrong!”
“Our happy place. Every visit you leave better than you entered and are treated like family.
The wine selection is fabulous, the ambiance is unmatched, and for a wide variety of nights out: anything from a date night, to a girls night, family get together, or a solo night out. They do the most excellent job sharing their passion with you — educating on the wines and spreading joy. Their Macedonian wines are a staple in our home now too.
I would recommend any day of the week, especially Thursday’s wine and cheese pairing and any night with live music.
Photos included are from a private event at Fine Wine O’Clock which I would recommend for ANY occasion!!!! They make the coordination a breeze, flawlessly execute, and take your dietary restrictions very seriously.
All my love always!”
“I decided to visit over a lunch. Great food and recommendations from the staff on making an extremely tasty rice bowl. Great service and delicious food.”
“Everything I have ever ordered has been absolutely delicious 😋 No pork additives to your side dishes (unless you request pork) and not greasy. Very satisfying portions. Can’t wait to order again”
“We travel all around the world, even compared to Italy, their home made pasta was the best we have ever eaten. We had appetizers that were awesome as well. We Highly recommend this place!”
“We celebrated my birthday at Colette recently. It's our first time there. We made reservations and were seated quickly. Our server is very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. We enjoyed everything we ordered especially the laminated brioche, brandade de moure(whip salt cod), lamb neck cavatelli ragu, and mushroom tahini. The desert chocolate mousse and millie feuille are amazing!!”
“A little tricky to spot, it is the entrance under the pink neon symbols. The restaurant serves tapas to share so I would recommend bringing a friend, or friends, and ordering multiple items. Every dish I've had there has been absolutely delicious! My favorites are the charred broccoli with cheese sauce, and the whipped honey ricotta with grilled bread. They also have lots of great vegetarian options!”

“My husband and I came here for a date night!! The food and service are spectacular!! We really won’t be going to another Indian restaurant for a long time grime since finding Flavorful India. Shweta is so friendly and and eager to please her customers.
If you’re hungry for good food….Come here”
“My Goodness! The flavors are amazing!! The oxtails are tender and flavorful. The chicken is completely marinated and moist never dry. The steamed fish with peppers and onions is great with just the right amount of heat. If you want to go to Jamaican just order and be transported in you mind! JUST DELICIOUS!!! The only reason no 5 stars is there is always room for improvement. And I can't wait until theres a more upscale dining experience of Yummi Express!!”

“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!”

“We have catered hundreds of parties and events at the Fōwling Warehouse Cincinnati over the years and I've followed up with every host and client on every single one. We have a folder with hundreds of testimonies and repeat customers that thoroughly enjoyed themselves and all the warehouse had to offer, including optimal customer service! We work with thousands of businesses in the tri-state and have to say that this is one of our absolute favorites. I alway recommend this spot to clients looking for something fun and new to do with their crew and will continue to do so. Sincerely, Chef and owner~ Jake Bartone of Bartone Catering, LLC”
“Emillie was a great server! Let's start with the great things. We did apps and sides. Dumplings were so good but broth was phenomenal !!! Burrata and tomato jam was basically an amazing caprese, sooo good. We also had truffle mushrooms which we added to dumpling broth, YUM! and also had the perfect broccoli with just an ok aioli. Was unimpressed with crab avocado toast, not worth the expense. Have had a a lot of crab food options s and this underwhelmed. My husband is a brownie sundae officianato and he seriously loved the s'more brownie dessert. Overall, great food and sat outside away from a noisy interior on a Friday night.”
“This year we have made it a point to try more restaurants downtown. This place is Heaven. Absolutely the best restaurant we have experienced in a long time: upscale casual vibe, strong flavorful drinks (try the Distrito Federal!), and the food... lord... the Moroccan Eggplant served tableside is sultry, sweet, smooth and savory. We also enjoyed the Coquilles appetizer with perfectly cooked scallops and 1 bite of the Davidson burger raised the bar for all of the local competition. Shout-out to our wonderful server, Alexis, and the roaming Manager DJ for the warm welcome. Everything was perfect.”
“Fabulous food and wonderful service. Fahri is so good at food and wine pairings. We love the experience at Cafe Mediterranean.”
“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!”

“Stopped by yesterday. Kim and everyone were very helpful. Picked a a favorite that’s served at the Netherland as well as a Gautaman blend. Both are very flavorful and full bodied. Used my Cuisinart pour over machine and a 15:1 ratio. Will definitely be back. Thank you”
“Today, 11.02.2021, a friend and l were in search of good breakfast food. Before dropping her off, we stopped at the Waffle House on Delhi Pike. The employees at this establishment were some of the warmest and friendliest group of people l have met since COVID. Fast service, our waiter Dante explained how we were able to mix and match the breakfast we had chosen. With the turn of our head, our meals were before us. The grits were freshly made, the toast was to a perfection with butter melted, everything about the meals were on point. The staff keep the restaurant clean. On their idle time they were cleaning the grill and washing down the floor, no one was standing around on their phones. I give the Waffle House ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“In my opinion, this White Castle location is among the top in the city. Each time I've visited, the food has been served hot and fresh, and the staff has consistently provided remarkable customer service! In an era where exceptional service is increasingly rare, it's refreshing to encounter.
With my background in customer-focused roles, I can confidently say that this location exceeds expectations. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service, enthusiasm, and positive vibes!”
“Outstanding in every way. Stopped in for a much-needed meal on the high route from Nashville to Philly.. could not have been more impressed with both food and service. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while.. everything was superb.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Great authentic New York style pizza. Recommend getting a whole pizza for the best experience, but they also sell by the slice. Whole pizzas are MASSIVE! The customer service is excellent and they are always playing great music in the dining area. Try the hot honey on your pizza! Trophy pizza is the best pizza around!”
“my husband and I had breakfast at the original pancake house this morning/afternoon the place was delightful lots of family's this morning the food was absolutely delicious and let me tell you I got the eggs and pancakes 🥞 it's was enough for 3 people yes I got a go box we are having breakfast burritos for dinner the staff was fantastic and sweet. we will be back soon”
“What a hidden gem! Fantastic, friendly service and a wide selection of options for everyone. Happy to see a few vegetarian items on the menu. I got the egg & cheese sammie with potato salad and will be back to try the egg salad and pimento cheese, and the broccoli salad side! Classic diner vibes and plenty of seating make this a great stop for quick lunch or takeout.”
“Thanks HPF for the delicious platter for our Easter guests! Everyone LOVED the club & Italian sandwiches! 😋”

“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 !!!!!”
“We ate here for the first time last night , it was packed but we were seated right away and they moved us over to be closer to heat with no issues whatsoever; our server Emily was super sweet and the hostess as well !!! We can’t wait to come back, our food was delicious and great servings … Emily was very attentive and was great with recommendations .. hubby is a cook and can be a little picky haha 🤣 but he LOVED everything he even wanted to tip whoever made the Mac and cheese anywho 10 stars ⭐️”
“We hired them for our daughters wedding and they were a huge hit with all the guests. They set up quietly and fast and started serving at the cocktail hour. It was like having a little coffee shop in the corner of the reception. Highly recommend! So glad we did this!”
“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 the steak and chicken empanadas and they were delicious! We went on a busy Saturday and had quick amazing service. Definitely will be here again to try other things!”
“Great place for all you can eat korean bbq and hot pot! I got the AYCE hot pot option with my soup base being the special korean broth, which was mild in seasoning but it was alright. For meats, we gor brisket, rib eye and beef tongue, and they cooked pretty quickly in our soups. There was a great selection of apetizers, sides, ans sauces, so take advantage of those. This was a solid place to try or satisfy your cravings for either kbbq or hotpot.”
Fine Dining
“Ours was a lunch experience was a very pleasant surprise. We both had the pick from three each, two course luncheon specials plus a shrimp cocktail to share. All five dishes were excellent and the price value was great. Service from Valerie was a highlight of how service should be. We will return soon.”
“A one-of-a-kind evening on the rails!
If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Dinner Train is an absolute must. I recently took the ride and it completely exceeded my expectations.
From the moment you step aboard the beautifully restored vintage railcars, you feel transported to a different era. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the evening special without being overly formal.
I had a delicious four-course meal (the calzone I chose was amazing!), and loved that you pick your entrée when you book. Everything was served hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The train ride itself is smooth and scenic—you catch glimpses of the city that you just don’t get from the road.
Even if you’re not a train enthusiast, this is a wonderful option for a date night, special celebration, or hosting out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, great food, and a little adventure. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and visitors!”
“The place is super good and the bakery delights they sell there are very good
No more than that the owners are asked to pay more attention to the employee who, because she is distracted, overcharges me. I felt very displeased and it was the first time she arrived, why they recommended it to me, but I had a bad experience with the employee but everything is Riko from the products to the cakes, how delicious”
“This is THE place to visit when in the Cincinnati area! Greeted upon entering the restaurant, friendly staff and terrific menu options. Shawn at the bar will serve you quickly and offer great suggestions for dinner depending on what you are craving. Thank you, we will return - go REDS!!!”
Cheap Eats
“I've been here a few times now for lunch meetings and it has always been great. It is fun to watch your food being cooked after filling a giant bowl with ingredients in passing it off to be cooked in front of you. If you go for lunch it is very reasonably priced!”
“Ladawn was amazing from booking to delivery! We found her at a bridal show hosted at the Manor House & we immediately knew we needed to book her after sampling the cake because OHMYGOODNESS. The perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. The texture was soft and spongy. The cake was moist and held its shape all night! And the filling as well as the buttercream frosting complimented the cake perfectly. The cake tasting was such a fun experience during the stress of wedding planning and made for a fun date night. She was so helpful when it came to designing the cake. I knew I wanted something simple but elegant & showed her a few inspo pictures. On the day of our wedding I left some flowers on the cake table and gave her creative freedom and she blew my expectations out of the water.”
“YouTube suggested this Malaysian restaurant and I am glad that we drove to give a try. It is the best and authentic Malaysian restaurant I had so far. Server is so friendly and introduced food perfectly. Hot teh Tarik served with warm temperature so you could enjoy the drink right away, it is a sweet touch. Roti canai is good, sambal is spicy and lentil curry is good. Curry noodle has spicy kick with a touch of coconut milk and the chicken is nice. Noodle with bbq pork and wanton is delicious. Bbq pork is authentic and delicious. Nasi lemak with beef rendang doesn’t disappoint as well. Beef rendang is cook to perfection, tender with all the spice flavor blended perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you miss Malaysian food.”
“I have been meaning to stop by since they opened, finally had a chance tonight. Casual atmosphere of a neighborhood place. Warm greeting upon arrival. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. I had garlic knots and a small pizza and both were delicious. The pizza was a 10” pie the size of a paper plate. The toppings were fresh and evenly spread over the pie which was perfectly cooked. The crust was the perfect consistency. The pizza really did taste like a traditional pizza I use to have when I was young and we lived next door to a family from Italy. It’s a can’t miss experience, and I will definitely dine here again.”
“What one of our team members says: "Milkman in OTR is the go-to spot for the best smash burgers in Cincinnati, and it's so much more than a burger joint! They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"”
“My friends and I picked Voodoo Brewing on a whim while walking downtown Cincinnati and it was such a hit! Not only was the atmosphere perfect, but the owner brought us our food, had great conversations with us and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied! The food was terrific (I recommend the dill pickle pizza!) and the drinks were great! I cannot wait to go back.”
“went to Swensons on Madison road in Cincinnati ohio. We had been meaning to try this since it open. We were a little disappointed in the serving size of the fries, Double cheese burger, and Fried bologna sandwich. Taste wise it was great. Service was fast and friendly. I'd recommend to anyone but I'd definitely recommend to double your order if you want enough to eat.”
“One of the best restaurants around! Food is always fresh. Love the seasonal menu. The ability to sit semi outside, outside or inside is a huge bonus. Service is always amazing”
“We had dinner at Ivory House on 3/21. It was an absolutely delightful dining experience. The food was superb. The staff was welcoming and worked hard to ensure we had a very pleasant dining experience. We will most definitely return.”
“Visited Rosie’s Italian Kitchen. Cannot believe it took us so long to check it out. Our server Austin gave very good suggestions and everything was outstanding ! We had the Arancini and Fried Lasagna bites to start and then the Honey Pie! Perfect blend of sweet heat . We also split the Cannoli Cookie with a scoop of vanilla gelato . Forgot to get a photo as we dug right in. We also met the Manager Alex and Kitchen Manager Victor who were so welcoming and made us feel like family . Already planning when we can go back !”
“I am visiting Cincinnati for a concert and decided to stop by Rhinegeist to have some drinks before the show. The environment is spacious with plenty of seating, the brewing vats are in the seating area so you can watch the employees work their magic, and there was even cornhole boards and bags for guests to play. Carey, who was serving at the bar, was incredibly friendly and professional. The atmosphere is great and the beers are delicious. I had told myself I would have a 2-drink maximum, but the selection of beers has convinced me to have at least one more! Thanks, Rhinegeist Brewery!”

“I was so happy when I saw you all are on Postmates! I haven't had your food since I stopped working upstairs. Everything was delicious! Thank you!”
“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.”
“Transcendental empanadas, arepas bursting with fresh fillings, frosty beverages, and a little shop where you can scarf up South American comfort foods and ingredients. The Arepa Place is amazing. My first bite into the chicken empanada sent me on a long journey to a far away planet named Delicious Prime. I landed, mid chew, in a great battle of shredded chicken, buttery flaky fried crust, and an assortment of salsas. There was purple smoke, the screaming of my teeth, and a salty wave of energy that made me urinate my pants. Moments later my wife and daughter shook me awake and I found myself on the floor moaning like a cow in heat. "Are you okay?" they asked, frantically. My response, "more arepas. And some of that aguapanela." The EMT team, curious, ordered some as well. Then, with my EMT team, I transcended back into the fever dream of flavor. Dedicated gluten free. Cute wall decor.
Vegetarian options: Lots of bean and cheese
Dietary restrictions: All gluten free!
Parking: Front and side parking, dozens of spots.
Kid-friendliness: Good music and color. They have a bar but it's a nice place.”
“This is a modern looking restaurant with open tables but you can't get a reservation for weeks? Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was good but not great and small portions. The best thing we had was the pita and eggplant dip.”
“It was our first time there and they had amazing food, great staff!!! We will definitely come back Again and would highly recommend them!!!”
“We love our friends at Tēla! Always great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food!”
“The experience here was superb just like the other restaurants in the Looking Glass Hospitality portfolio. If you have Celiac or gluten intolerance they are excellent in their protocols and were able to adjust items to celiac specificity.
We had the Korean Corn Dogs which were 10/10. The Caesar was heavy on kale which is not our first choice of greens but it was generously dressed and had fresh grated cheese. The scallop and beef parpardele were enjoyed as well as Lobster Mac (fresh!) and wedge potatoes. Dip potatoes in the cheese sauce for a menu hack!
The creamsicle cloud dessert was unique as well as light.
Drinks wise they have an excellent selection and I enjoyed the Lychee Ginger as a great cocktail with Asian inspired appetizer.
This is a must for a date night with someone with allergies or if you like to dine local with local ownership. Parking garage is conveniently attached behind the restaurant and there's an entry from the garage to the restaurant. We were there on a Sunday so the area was quiet.”
“This is a great place with so much history! the waitress, Jasmine, was friendly and did a great job!”
“Visiting a friend….great roulette wine drinks and amazing food.”
“The entrees at Atwood are outstanding. We had the black bass and the arctic char. The oysters, raw and roasted, were delicious as well, but the entrees made the meal for us. Our server, Anna, was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We will return, maybe not on Saturday night though, as the crowd and acoustics make it very loud for dinner. That was the only negative for an otherwise great evening.”
“Alexyss is an awesome server at Outback Eastgate. Stop in and just her for your holiday get together! Also, stop in and try to find this Koloa and win a blooming onion. Yum!!”
“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!”
“Stopped in with some co workers, very welcoming and chill vibe! Drinks were delicious more importantly the bartender, host, and owner were all very professional and friendly. Worth stopping by”
“Biagios is in my opinion the best Italian food in cincy everything is scratch made always delicious can't recommend enough if you haven't been make to to get there asap”
“Absolutely brilliant meal. Lovely fine-dining experience with a chef that nailed every dish.”
“As a Greek, I feel at home!! Absolutely Brilliant! Food & vibe is beyond Awesome!”
“We went here because was close to the hospital. Used to go to olive garden. Never again. Carrabbas is top notch from top down!”
“The staff was welcoming and the table service was to the point. We received our food under ten minutes after ordering, and it was aMaZing! Best food at family friendly prices. We noted a multi-age family - from infant to Grandma - sharing side dishes and enjoying a family feast in this comfortable setting. We'll be back!”
“Absolutely delightful. Superbly delicious Italian cuisine, served by a friendly and attentive staff.”
“We came here for dinner one mid-week evening before taking a stroll through Summit Park. You can definitely show up dressed comfortably/casually, but they have pretty decent ambiance, suitable for some weekend fun. We weren't super intrigued by the menu; it was a little less extensive than I'd hope from a place like this, mostly heavier options, and maybe not a ton of things I'd order next time. For me, the mussels far exceeded my expectations. That broth was heavenly, the bread was soft and perfect for soaking up the great flavors, the mussels themselves were very abundant, and had okay freshness. My lady said her burger was mediocre. She tried both the truffle fries and duck fat fries and was disappointed by both. I've never seen her not eat fries before, so that says a lot! Service was good overall. I'd come back for those mussels any day, but not quite as excited to dig deeper into the menu. I wouldn't deter anybody from giving them a try, especially if out enjoying the park on a nice day.”
“As an Italian, I’m really happy and proud that Italian cuisine is well represented by Nicola’s. I went there with my lady to celebrate Saint Valentines in advance, and we were so happy to spend our time there. The place is wonderful, the service is perfect and the food… the food is astronomical! Personally I do love the Malfatti “A true love for Rome”. As being born and raised in Rome I do really appreciate that love for my city. Definitely a 10/10, and best place to experience Italian cuisine. P.S. Italiani, se siete di passaggio a Cincinnati fate un salto da Nicola, non ve ne pentirete”
“Amy was a great server one of the best experiences I had in a restaurant in the longest time will be back”
“The food was delicious. Had my husband hollering, lol scared the ppl at first then the other customers joined in. Service was amazing”
“Always fantastic. Go for the fries, stay for the blue cheese. Oh yeah, they have meats too. I usually get the spicy garlic on the wings, but they were kind enough to give me a cup on the side of the Chernobyl to try. It is very hot, but I would not say super hot. If you regularly eat habanero sauces and want more then this is probably a good heat level for you. It also has a good flavor, it’s not just hot for sake of being hot. Everyone there is super friendly also. Great atmosphere. Cool aesthetic. There is often live music on the weekends, which can be a bit loud and it definitely gets busy. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Come during off hours if you don’t want that. I wish I could just buy a jug of the blue cheese. Maybe I can, but I haven’t asked.”
“My family and I went to the LongHorn Steakhouse on Harrison Avenue for my birthday. It was very crowded, but we were able to sit at a "high top" near the bar with no waiting. The food and service were great. I had the 6oz filet and shrimp with rice, which I recommend. I prefer this LongHorn to the one on Colerain, which always seems to smell like marijuana.
Parking: Nice restaurant with great food and atmosphere.”
“I love this place the service is super friendly, we asked for chef recommendations and the chef came to our table that was exceptional, the drinks are really big and delicious and the food is good. We ordered an aguachile and it was delicious.”
“We stopped for lunch on our way home from an event downtown. It was our first time visiting. The place is very cute and has A LOT of decorations by the way of live plants, pictures, and sports memorabilia. We sat in the brighter front room by the window. There were few folks in the place by the time we left at 1:10pm.
Our server was very friendly and accommodating, but we wished he would have introduced himself (pet peeve of mine). We ordered the mussels and frites, the Poulet Basquaise, and a side of French green beans. The mussels were very traditional with a butter, white wine, garlic, celery, and onion prep, which is my favorite. I know fries are fries, but these were some of the best we have had in a long time. The Poulet (i.e. chicken dish) is like an open-faced chicken pot-pie with mushrooms, peas, bechamel, and puff pastry. It is true comfort food that we thought needed some acid or a touch of hot sauce. It is served with a huge bed of lettuce dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette and nothing else. The French green beans were tasty and garlicy, but were not true haricots verts. They were just green beans.
Parking was easy because it was noon on a Weds., but I can see how it would be hard on the weekends.”
“Amazing experience at Wildweed and what an addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. We did the chef's table with wine pairing and they knocked it out of the park. From the service, every single person acknowledged and welcomed us to the food (so creative, delicious and locally inspired), to all the small touches of high end glassware for wines, beautiful furniture. I don't know how every single person is not raving about this spot. Can't wait to go back, as it's been the best meal in the city. With fine dining spots in the city lost like Table, Nuvo, L, this one I hope stands the test of time for a new modern type of fine dining.”
“Crown Cantina provided a exceptional dining experience last night. The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, offering a unique and refreshing change of pace. We started with the tostadas and salsa, which were delicious and had a nice kick. We also enjoyed the Hamachi, the Tijuanero (steak taco), and the large plate chicken enchiladas verde, all of which were made to order and full of flavor. The margaritas were also a highlight, with the ghost and guava margarita being a standout. All of their margaritas are crafted in-house, making them a healthier option. If you're looking for a high-end Mexican meal, Crown Cantina is a great choice.”
“OK, this was a WONDERFUL experience. We had the best waiter RYLAN, he was fantastic! The food was absolutely amazing. Prime rib - best ever!!! scallops - best ever!! Super delicious - totally 100% rating. This rating is from Sneezy🤧 and Happy 😃.”
“Experience would have been perfect, but service was terrible. We were visiting Cincy and the hotel told us about Härth. We sat toward the front of the bar & nobody came to take our order after being there for about 10 minutes. My husband went to the bar & tried to order. We were told that a server would be around. Another 10 minutes & we didn’t even see a server milling around. We tried to order at the bar again & bartender said he’d bring the drinks. Finally got them after another 10 minutes. Not one time did a server come by in the hour we were there. Tried to order a second round at bar & we were told the same thing. Waited for a server, who never showed, so we closed our tab of 1 drink a piece after being there for over an hour. I had a coffee drink & it was delicious. The music & the vibe were great. I so wish the service would have been better or even a bit friendlier. I will go back when we visit again. I just hope they have more people working or a new bartender.”
“We hosted a kids birthday party at Wandering Monsters in the private party room and it was perfect. Zach was easy to work with and very accommodating. He went out of his way to make sure our 7 year old twins had a great party. All the staff was amazing and friendly. The food was delicious. We really enjoy going on a regular basis as a family.”
“Alex was amazing! Great food! Pineapple margaritas are to die for! Def recommend!”
“Perfect for Anniversary couldn’t have been a better evening”
“We have the Sweets and Meats BBQ truck come to our office as a thank you to our staff multiple times, and the food is terrific! The staff is always friendly, and the Strawberry Crunch cake was divine! I would recommend the collard greens, brisket and mac and cheese.”
“We had an above average experience here today. Our waitress was very nice, the food was spectacular (wings, and the cincy hot chicken sandwhich) the beer delicious. Great place.”
“Wow! This place is a must try!! The food was fantastic and the service was great as well. We made a reservation and were sat within a couple of minutes. Arrive hungry! You'll be offered the most incredible meats. Delish!!”
“This is a classic old Cincinnati place. They had live music on the patio, which made it really fun. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were good pub fare. I'd go back for the whole experience again.”
“Everything was outstanding! Really surprised we haven't heard about this place more. We split dishes so we could try more. Loved the stuffed poblano peppers, ahi tuna and the lobster roll was absolutely the best I've had outside of New England. Appreciated the half glasses of wine as well. We will definitely be back!”
“One of my regular spots and also one of my favorite places in town. It's always nice to know I can come in here and grab some really good pizza and then come upstairs for great cocktails. The peanut butter tequila is weirdly good and they do a chocolate martini with it that is absolutely amazing.”
“While visiting thee high school that my wife's father attended, we stopped for lunch at Gilligan's on the Green, a restaurant and brewery. I was told by our waiter that Gilligan's was once the old fire station of Wyoming, a suburb of Cincinnati. We chose to sit outside on the deck. Inside the resturant, our waiter said, there were rooms that acould accommodate small groups up to 60 for a special event or party. It was a Friday and from some past remembrance of my youth of having fish on Fridays, I chose the fish and chips. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich. I didn't get a few "fingers" of fish ... I got a hunk of fish, expertly fried with a nongreasy tempura like crust. There is a great list of pub style favorites on the menu, and a full bar.While not entirely an Irish pub it can't be ruled out:) Gilligan's has great service, ample parking and is wheelchair accessible.
Parking: Plenty of available parking. This was lunch time.
Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating. Family atmosphere.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible.”
“From the soup and salad all the way through the entire meal, it was wonderful we had a lot of fun so entertaining to watch the chef have some excellent food.
Each shift did things just a little bit different, but it was very fun to watch not only our chef but others around. So it's fun to see each Chef cooking and entertaining everyone. My steak and scallops were cooked perfectly just the way I like them. It was all so delicious.
I'm looking forward to going back again and trying their sushi some time soon.”
“Visited with family. Atmosphere was relaxing. Tried team fiona 8th birthday hazy ipa which was really smooth and had alot of citra flavor. Hop head was another really good hazy IPA on draft that day. Bartender was a younger guy that actually seemed very happy to be at work. He also let my wife try a few samples so she could find something she liked! I will definitely be going back when iam in town!”
“Matt was very helpful in helping select wines to try. Great little place. Don't know a lot about wines wine flight was a great option went with a lot of reds. Malbec and blend were my favorites.”
“Tasting and food was great. Also, service at tasting bar and dining table was great.”
“Larry is a gem. What a wonderful new place to dine in Anderson. Wonderful food. Lovely staff. Great vibes. Check it out.”
“I was at MPH last night (3/19) and they were very busy! The one bartender was super friendly and apologized for my wait. Having worked in the service industry myself I asked if her manager was available so that I could let them know what a great job she was doing and was told that the manager was not there. I would hope that not only would a manager be on site but would be out front helping with the large crowd.”
“Truly a wonderful experience. I have been here before and it was awesome. Brought my boyfriend to try it. His grandma is from England. He grew up with all these dishes. Loves to cook them. The environment & great food brought back many good memories of her. Thank you for that!!! Our server was genuine, efficient & friendly. Yummy food. I had your Fish- wow! The best!!! Thank you!!! ❤️.”
“We absolutely loved our experience at Safi start to finish. The atmosphere is marvelous, very unique and inviting. The food was delicious, unique, and very well presented. The large variety of drinks suited everyone in our party; I was particularly impressed at the unique wine options including dessert wines. The service was absolutely excellent and I enjoyed conversations with several helpful staff. I can't wait to go again!!”
“Pretty Cool little place! My younger son and I came here on a whim and it was fun. Plenty of stuff to keep him entertained, service was excellent even though we only got sodas.”
“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!”

“Regina is the BEST. From the cream horns to donuts to buns and danishes...I cannot praise them enough. The employees are always friendly and helpful. It's a gem. In a world of corporate saturation and putting mom and pops out of business, this is a true treasure and I hope survives.”

“We came in early(3:30)on a friday, the server was great and knowledgeable. We travel for work and expect to get what we pay for, we recieved just that. Top line The steaks were cooked just as we asked and the sweet potato was out of this world. King crab legs and oysters for appetizers couldn't get any better. We will be back thank you”
“Dinner with friends before a concert. Wait was only 15 minutes and they were able to sit us on the patio as requested. Service was okay. We understand they were busy but drinks seemed to take a while. Food came out staggered which was okay but not ideal. My choices were very good. Both under the 700 calorie list. Everything seemed very fresh and the flavors were balanced very well and not lacking. My steak was cooked exactly as requested.”
“The entrance delivers luxury and elegance. Hostess was very inviting and friendly! A live performance was also showcased at the front of the restaurant. A pianist played beautifully throughout the evening.
Heads up to first time guests- parking is ONLY valet or you need to find parking out on street with a meter.
We went to celebrate our anniversary and they made us feel so special. We were brought two glasses of champagne (which was delicious!) by our server as she greeted us.
Our server was wonderful! She had great recommendations and was so kind. Also very prompt and on top of everything!
There was a lady I’m unsure of her status. But she helped clean up a table (possibly supervisor? ) and she was speaking down to a young bus boy. To me it appeared to be a language barrier and that made my husband and I uncomfortable to see.
Let’s get to the food!
We started with Brussel Sprouts which were delicious! Highly recommend trying. The soft Gorgonzola dulce was such a nice compliment to the saltiness of the pancetta and perfectly seasoned Brussel sprouts.
For dinner entree my husband had the butternut squash risotto and I had NY strip that was paired with Potatoes.
Hands down the risotto is one of the best dishes I have had. Compliments to the chef on putting together such a fantastic dish. Sweetness paired with a subtle hints of pesto. This is one of those dishes you’re going to crave and will have to go back specifically for.
The Ny strip wasn’t special by any means. $57 I was expecting to be wowed. Overcooked, charred and lacked flavor that I was hoping for. The risotto coming in around $20 was the winner of the night. My husband and I both ate from it and it was enough.
We really enjoyed our evening! Again, the atmosphere was wonderful. So elegant and inviting. The service was fantastic. Our server was just amazing. We felt so welcomed and highly recommend the Brussels the risotto.”
“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”
“The food is amazing, they have a large wine and spirt offering. The staff are always courteous, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Casual dining with an upscale feel.”
