“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.”
“Shareable menu items that are tasty and unique…smelt fries and duck fat fried potatoes. Delicious. Great service and oh yeah - Longfellow charm all the way.”
“Delicioso postre todo riquísimo y la atención de primera calidad”
“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 had dinner at the downtown location this evening to celebrate my son’s graduation from the military, and leaving to report to his first assignment. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, several staff members came over to shake his hand and thank him for his service, even the General Manager. We always receive exceptional care from any Jeff Ruby’s establishment, but are so grateful to our amazing server Peter along with all of the other staff who took the time to make our family feel so special. We will support this business until the end of time! Thank you for being such a wonderful place to visit!”

“absolutely delicious experience. The conveyor belt featured a wide variety of appetizers, salads, fresh fruit, sushi, nigiri, and dessert. our waitress was super attentive and extremely polite. The atmosphere is very fun and entertaining as you watch the conveyor belt, the trams on top of the belt, and the robots delivering hot and fresh food. our waitress was on top of our drinks and explained the iPad and the conveyor belt system very well. Will definitely be back. for the two of us with a generous tip, it was under $50.”
“I love their food, BUT WHY ON EARTH you removed the CHURROS?!?!?!? Literally the best item in the menu and I didn't even eat better churros in a latin american country. BRING IT BACK PLEASE 😭😭😭😭. CINCINNATI WANTS CHURROS. For instance, yesterday we only came for the churros and they said they are gone. You can't even imagine our disappointment, and shock. Crazy. Absolutely crazy. Abigail st, please like this comment if you are considering to bring them back.”

However, it did seem like a quaint little spot. Attendee was very curdious even being the repair man and all. Biggest thing I noticed was that it was spotless inside. Extremely clean.”
“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!”

“I cannot recommend this hidden gem enough! They will never disappoint, when I tell you everything is hot and fresh I mean just that! I can’t keep my food long enough to even take a picture lol but the servings be serving and the fish be fishing if you know what I mean! (Actually have meat!) if you love real soul food you need to run here! And the staff is super kind :)”

“Mouthwatering and delicious. Drove 20 minutes just to try this place. We will definitely be back. They only have two small tables outside so plan for take out! Best pizza I’ve had in Cincinnati.”

“We went for my birthday to check out the place. Good food and top notch service.”
“I went to dinner with my friends to celebrate a friend‘s birthday. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating of a large group. They were also very careful to make sure that our dairy free friend knew what options were available to her and made it very clear, even when the courses were delivered which dishes she could share with friends. Additionally, I accidentally left my leftovers in the restaurant when I went to my car, and the staff were so helpful to run it out to my car in the sprinkling rain to give it to me so that the food would not go to waste. I highly recommend the Icelandic cod, as well as the Parisian carrot salad.”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Mediterranean Hyde Park with Heather Raake Bates , and it was truly an exceptional culinary experience. The meal was outstanding, and the service was superb. I highly recommend visiting this establishment, as it is a hidden gem that warrants a return visit.”

“Food and presentation was top notch! Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Walked away full but not feeling weighed down. Service was fantastic as was the atmosphere. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me!!”
“From the moment we made our reservation, we were treated to a hospitality and warmth sorely lacking in today's world. While we went at noon, the music and decor were as relaxing as an evening or even late- night event. Our server Simeon was professional and committed to make our meal a memorable one. At our request, he described different dishes, telling us what he recommended and what to expect. He was attentive without hovering. The food was as outstanding as was the service. While the shrimp toast appetizer, Wong's chicken, and Clay pot were delicious, beautifully prepared, we were overwhelmed by the presentation, taste, and experience of the coconut bread pudding with rum sauce. We will go again soon..”

“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”
“Always come here before dropping my kids off at school I wish they'd bring back the cereal milk latte haha turkey sausage egg and cheese english muffin is always a go to for my kids. The line is always pretty fast. If u have the app and paying cash always scan your loyalty card in the app those points add up!”
“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“We stop here for gas weekly and often get smoothies when the app gives us $2 off coupons. The smoothies are great. Sometimes it's a bit of a wait but that's alright. The food is okay. Some of it is overpriced. We don't often get coupons for hoagies. It's not worth full price. The new teriyaki cheesesteak is good. We dealt with solicitors approaching our car with backpacks twice. I called to report it and the manager was friendly and understanding on that call.”
“I went to this White Castle when it first opened in 1965. The little hamburgers cost 5 cents, and the cheeseburgers cost a dime. To use the public bathroom it cost ten cents. I went in there once to buy a cheeseburger, but first, I had to use the toilet. After paying to use the bathroom, I was broke, and left hungry. Moral of the story: Use your own bathroom before heading out to White Castle's.”
“We went here because was close to the hospital. Used to go to olive garden. Never again. Carrabbas is top notch from top down!”
“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!”
“Didn't eat, was just there to repair the door. Lol

“We drive the hour for their donuts as they are just that good! The chocolate icing is the best around. Last Friday I got to try the cherry bombs and apple cinnamon sugar donut and those are also so amazing. We’ve had their bread and danishes in the past and guess what? Also amazing 😊 only place we get donuts at anymore”
“This is a must visit bakery! The product is simply amazing and it is clear that the team here takes great pride in it (as they deservedly should). Every time I visit the area I make it a point to stop here - even if it is out of my way - as I am ALWAYS delighted with the tasty treats. You should too.”
“I loved it here. I'm sad I don't live closer. The chicken salad was really good, but something about the atmosphere was really something else. The inside of this place exhudes love and pride in what they do. It's kind of crazy to see that these days.. Someone has passion there in their little chicken salad store. I love that so much.”
“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!”
“This place has the best Korean BBQ in the area. I only wish they had honey dew boba. That would seal the deal. But still our first pick always over others.”
“Great service by Kevin! Meal prepared perfectly. It was a great experience. Filet cooked to perfection and they were able to accommodate my request of the burger and fries for the evening!”

“I ordered a Caramel Pound Cake for my Hubby’s birthday. We celebrated at Longhorn and everyone in the restaurant wanted a slice of that cake! It was moist, buttery, and delicious! We also had chocolate strawberries, and snickers strawberries. The strawberries were sweet, and we really enjoyed them. Our guest was amazed at the taste of all the desserts. I encourage anyone who needs a delicious dessert to order from Shanassweettreats. You will be happy you did! My Dad is 91 years old, he wants a Blackberry Cobbler. That’s my next order!!”
“Walked in and was immediately greeted by the most amazing cashier. He touted everything on the menu. We ended up going with the Friday meatball sandwich special, the Italian sandwich and two vanilla tonka lattes. Both sandwiches and lattes were heavenly! We can’t wait to go back to try the rest of them on the menu.”
“my wife and I went to Thai Lom Cuisine today... we had a spicy eggplant and beef dish as well as each having green chicken curry spice level 4. I can say is the portions are generous, the food is fantastic, and the service is wonderful-smiling courteous staff... I doubt there is a better Thai restaurant in Cincinnati. This place is nestled in the wedding District in Reading on Benson Road. We will become regulars very soon. 5 stars!! their Curry is Silky Smooth flavorful as close to perfect as you can get.”

“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 !!”
“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.”

“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”
“Had a wonderful experience at Brown Bear Bakery. The rhubarb bun was absolutely excellent — I love rhubarb and this was one of the best pastries I’ve had in a long time. Perfect balance of tart and sweet with a soft, fresh texture.
The everything bagel croissant was also fantastic and such a creative combination. Flaky, buttery, savory, and packed with flavor. Everything we tried tasted fresh and thoughtfully made.
Coffee was great as well, and the service really stood out. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot worth returning to.”

Fine Dining
“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.”
“Spoon Fulla Sugar Cake Design exceeded every expectation! From the moment I reached out, their communication was warm, professional, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to understand my vision and then brought it to life with creativity and flawless attention to detail. The design was elegant, clean, and beautifully crafted, showing real artistry. And the taste? Even better. We had people going back for seconds (and asking for the bakery's name!). What truly sets Spoon Fulla Sugar apart is their passion. You can tell they love what they do, and it shines through in both their customer service and their work.”
“A dinner experience and vintage train ride is raar and this one was a real treat. Our group of four dressed for the part in 1940s costume and sat in the music car.
The music talent was a nod to the Andrew’s sisters of the same time period. They were excellent. Our group had prime rib with baked potatoes and green beans. A salad was served separately before the main course. All food was very tasty!
We were celebrating a birthday in our group, so the singers sang their rendition of Happy Birthday. Loved it!
The meal ended with delicious desserts to include chocolate pecan pie and strawberry cheesecake. Yum!
A history of the train and area was intertwined in our experience and was so interesting. Highly recommended this tour. Best if in a group of four as groups of two is hard to get a table set up for that because of the configuration of the train cars.”
“Everything! My personal all time favorite, their Triple Mousse Cake; dense thin choc cake bottom with inches of chocolate mousse; dark, light and white chocolate. To die for! I order it at Grove Park Grill. You do not share this dessert, you have it all to yourself😂💕”
“Everything, from being seated, beautiful dining room, table setting, knowledgeable waiter and backup servers. Manager introduced himself and asked if all was well. I ordered the 12oz NY Strip, medium rare, with the biggest baked potato I’ve ever had. Everything was timely and enjoyed the experience with fellow employees. We were in town for a conference and will definitely remember the wonderful meal we all enjoyed. John McCabe Fairport NY 14450”
“First the service. Everyone is super nice. You expect that but it’s genuine. Latasha was our waitress. Amazing. She provided some great recommendations and made the meal pleasant. The meatballs appetizer was fantastic. Steaks were cooked perfect. My bone in strip was on point. The Truffle Corn was the sleeper side of the dinner. Both my wife and I’s favorite. Fingerling Duck Fat Potatoes were good and Maple Sweet Potatoes was almost a desert. I will be back for a dinner here again for sure!!!!”
“Brought my Jamaican business partner here for some food. He loved it. Food was top tier as always. It’s a family business and my mans that greets you and takes your order always has a bright spirit. Food is made to order so expect to chill for a few minutes. This ain’t fast food. The portion sizes are good also. The spot is always clean with good vibes. Yummi don’t miss. I highly recommend!”

“One team member said: "Cafe Mochiko is hands down one of the best Japanese bakeries that I have had the honor of trying. Everything is perfectly balanced regardless if you are a sweet or savory kind of person! The best part was my gluten free wife had some incredible options as well. The only thing that I wish is that I knew about them sooner. They are award winning for a reason and I highly recommend everyone to check them out!"”
“I love Indian food but most places around Cincy leave much to be desired. Drove by this place for a couple of years, not thinking much by outside appearance. Decided to stop in for lunch buffet a few weeks ago. Wow! the food is delicious and fresh. Have been back and not disappointed. I live in Colerain. The food is worth the drive.”
“Ali and Dan are doing a great job of bringing this place back to life. We stopped in for a carryout order of wings yesterday. The wings were great as we watched our Bengals at home. The interior is really looking good. More TV's and new furniture. Keep up the good work in Madeira.”

“Amazing food. Wonderful views. The ambiance and service was 10/10. 💜💜💜”
“I always enjoy meals and service at Seasons 52. Our party included two people who had never been, and they enjoyed themselves. Love the open doors in one of the rooms. My only complaint this time was my halibut being overdone. Everything else (shared flatbread, two sea bass entrees, one chicken caesar salad, two desserts) was delicious.”
“The food and service are absolutely incredible! Coming here is definitely a great way to celebrate any occasion! The wait staff are incredibly knowledgeable and the kitchen is extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions!”

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!”
“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!”
“We had dinner with 7 people and everyone enjoyed their meal. The Gnocchi was phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!!”
“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 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!”
“Rhinegeist Brewery is one of the best places to visit in Cincinnati, offering a fantastic combination of great craft beer, a lively atmosphere, and a unique industrial setting. The brewery is spacious and welcoming, with plenty of seating and activities that make it enjoyable for groups, couples, or solo visitors. The beer selection is impressive, featuring a variety of styles that appeal to both casual drinkers and craft beer enthusiasts. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to offer recommendations. The rooftop area provides excellent views of the city and adds to the overall experience. Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or spending an evening with friends, Rhinegeist delivers a memorable and enjoyable brewery experience that keeps people coming back.”
“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.”
“The coziest spot in the neighborhood. They just don't make places like this anymore! You walk in and it feels like coming to your quirky aunt's comfy home. Pasta is wonderful but the main thing that keeps me coming back is the DESSERTS!! Omg the tiramisu, the cream pies, cream puffs.... All phenomenal. Thank you Biagio, I'm in love with your bistro <3”
“Great atmosphere and the food was really great! Shrimp cocktail for appetizer and the cod orzo was delicious! Great place to eat! Service was quick and friendly”

“Lonely Pine will forever be my favorite steakhouse. Food quality is always top notch, vibe is fantastic, and the staff is attentive and accommodating. Going to miss this place dearly.”
“Manuel is the best server ever !!!! From outside the facility to inside we had a wonderful experience. We were greeted , seated , and serviced promptly . My cousin experienced a nice birthday celebration, we were encouraged to have a good time. Thanks again to Miguel and his team !!!!! We will be back .”
“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!”
“This was our first time at the location on Harrison and my guy Jordan was on point! He was prompt, polite and knew his wines! He recommended a wine, and we left with 4 bottles of it! We've been to the kenwood and liberty locations, but this might be the new spot! Food was great, as always. Great service, thank you brotha Jordan. -Keify The Bartist”
“Excellent hand crafted cocktails made by highly skilled and friendly Bartenders. The smoked carrot hummus was devine!”
“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”
“Crumbl never disappoints! Every cookie is soft, thick, and full of flavor. The rotating menu keeps things fun, and everything always tastes fresh out of the oven. Definitely worth the hype!”
“As a Greek, I feel at home!! Absolutely Brilliant! Food & vibe is beyond Awesome!”
“Good food, great service!”
“Tiki Tiki Bang Bang is always a great time. The bartenders are knowledgeable and the drinks they mix are fantastic. Skipper Michael and crew can excite with their skills and delight with the flavors they bring forth. The cocktail menu is top notch, and the team is not afraid to go off book and whip up an exotic classic or a riff on a modern favorite. Plus the atmosphere and decor is pure escape. One Caution: this bar is a RUM bar. Come for the rum, stay of the cocktails - you will be thrilled.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“This place is the best restaurant on the west side. Hayley our server was great. NY Strip & the filet were outstanding. Side dishes were very tasty and the strawberry cheesecake was delicious. You can't go wrong here. Try this place soon!”
“First time enjoying this amazing place. Wife and I were in the area and thought it looked like a great place to try. Great food and atmosphere and very authentically European. Make sure you stop by and ask for Mia and Frederick for a truly outstanding experience and meal.”
“This was a fabulous meal. I have some food allergies and they were very accommodating. Everything tasted wonderful, and we had a good time. It doesn't look like a lot of food, but we were stuffed. They have specials on different days. Check their website for details.”
“First time was Valentines day.Very busy, but food and service was splendid. The decor and the music was quite appropriate for the atmosphere of the restaurant.”
“Perfect for Anniversary couldn’t have been a better evening”
“This place is a 10/10 y'all. When we lived in Cincy we found this gem, and I would dream about their food until I could go back (weekly!). Now that we live back in Buffalo, it's the number 1 place I recommend to all people visiting from out of town. (True story, the amount of Bills fans I have sent here is unmatched- do you need a Buffalo sponsor?) Their specials are always a hit, their burger... well I hope its my last meal because I would die happy. The atmosphere is just so good too (Don't forget to hit the button in the bathroom!). Our last trip in we talked to Stuart for a long time, and enjoyed every minute... even got to do a PB shot (unreal!). Come visit Buffalo Stuart! We love you! Let's just say I miss you guys. So much. Until our next trip when I down my weight in food and drinks again. <3”
“Went out for drinks last night not expecting much, just a typical sports bar, but was surprised at the upscale quality of the drinks. Our bartender Darren was great and super talented- he made us a variety of stuff from on and off menu and even gave us drink recommendations based on what he thought we’d like after asking us about our preferences. There is a legitimate cocktail bar program hiding in here!”
“Went here to actually get photos for a college project, a jazz themed session, the staff were so welcoming and understanding! This tavern is so cozy and unique. I love this hidden little gem! Would return here as a customer due to how polite the staff were.”
“They are amazing with my littles- especially my 7yr old. Lindsey is so caring and wonderful!”
“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.”
“Beautiful restaurant with amazing service and A+ food! We had the dim sum appetizers and bento box lunches and everything came out hot and fresh! If I could give it more stars, I would!”
“Had a wonderful experience at Tela! our server, Arlena was fabulous too.”
“We were seated at the bar and had great sandwiches and drinks last night (11/5/24) . Mark was the bartender who waited on us. His outstanding customer service made us feel like we had a “fine dining” experience!”
“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.”
“Fabulous food & fantastic customer service in one of the most charming neighborhoods. Cannot say enough about SwingLine!💕”
“Came out for my birthday, LOVE the pizza downstairs, drove an hour just to have a slice and a bourbon! The slices are bigger than your head and breadsticks are the size of an arm!”
“Love this place! Service was great, drinks were unique and you can’t beat the view of Washington park and music hall!”
“I got take out here twice in January - both for a group of 6+ folks. Also went in with my wife today and had a meal at the bar. They are really great all the way around. Take out was fast, friendly, fresh, correct and everything included.
The bar service today for our lunch - again - fast, fresh, delicious, friendly and couldn't asked for better. The petite dream haired bartender, we didn't get her name, she didn't miss a beat with anything. She was great as well (Wednesday January 28th at about noon). Efficient friendly and pleasant!
Also the gold margaritas with the extra shots were a terrific and a good value at $10. Been to Mexico a dozen times, and these hold their own!
Big portions, fresh baked bread and butter along with everything else. I don't prefer chain restaurants but they've got it figured out here.
Highly recommended.”
“I came here for the first time many years ago, and don't remember much except live music. I came back more recently for a private event upstairs that included wine tasting led by the owner. I loved 4 out of the 5 wines I tried, and liked the other. Their sangiovese and sauvignon blanc were the standouts for me. The owner was also happy to show us around the cellar, and gave a good crash course on their wine making and what they pair with. The place has a good atmosphere, it's run by a very personale guy, and you'll likely get to enjoy some live music when you visit. Very solid place that has stood the test of time in OTR!”
“Good draft beer selection, great wings, TV's are well positioned, and of course great bartenders!”

“I have had to leave a negative review on this store before but everything was like night and day today. I care about customer service because my family owned several restaurants years ago in Florida and I know the importance. From the moment any customer walked in the store, Dan immediately acknowledged each and every one of them. Dan is exactly the type of employee I always wanted in my stores in fact, I recommend having Dan train all of your employees if he doesn't already. Thank you Dan!”
“The food, atmosphere, service, and ambience at Mt Lookout were top notch! The HOE‘s team members, Julie, Mitch, Bri, and Murph, were extremely hospitable and friendly. We were seated and served in less than 30 minutes. I recommend the Fried green tomato BELT sandwich with sweet tots (with the maple aoli), or the Chorizo Burger. The grill chefs cooked them to perfection. Then pair these tasty sandwiches with a Murphy special, a pomegranate - mango martini or a cold beer! It’s a match made in heaven. We‘re definitely going back soon.”
“We love the atmosphere, good food and drinks. Staff is very friendly and professional. Clean and a nice place to go hang out to eat and mingle with others and YOU can control the music using the QR code provided at your table. Ms. Tina at the bar with those blue berry drinks are on point. This our new hang out spot :)!!!”
“The service was great, very nice and quick to service us. Drinks were there in only a few minutes!.. Margaritas are the best! Manger came out and addressed us asking if all was good. Food was great and our waitress was amazing. She boxed our leftovers and bagged them for us.”
“My husband and I were treated at a Music Hall post-performance celebration several weeks ago - fabulous sampler was given to us as we departed. The assortment of bite size treats was fabulous. We live in Oxford but and are planning a trip to visit the bakery in person very soon.”
“This is the 3rd time I’ve ordered Detroit style Pizza from Jets and it’s always been excellent. This time I tried the 8 corner “Jets 10” it was loaded with toppings, hot and exactly what I hoped for. And the staff were nice to me as well. But I always forget how filling this style pizza is and 2 slices my max so I’ll freeze the leftovers because it reheats very well”
“Ali and Dan are doing a great job of bringing this place back to life. We stopped in for a carryout order of wings yesterday. The wings were great as we watched our Bengals at home. The interior is really looking good. More TV's and new furniture. Keep up the good work in Madeira.”

“We love this location! We come every Friday night and have never had a bad experience!! Our server and chefs are extraordinary; food is amazing, very high quality! We truly look forward to our experiences here and have come often for celebrations and family meals!!”
“Everything, from being seated, beautiful dining room, table setting, knowledgeable waiter and backup servers. Manager introduced himself and asked if all was well. I ordered the 12oz NY Strip, medium rare, with the biggest baked potato I’ve ever had. Everything was timely and enjoyed the experience with fellow employees. We were in town for a conference and will definitely remember the wonderful meal we all enjoyed. John McCabe Fairport NY 14450”
“We had a great New Year's Eve dining experience @ Nada. Jonathan was an excellent server. The servers eagerly helped one another. Johnathan recommended the Chipotle empenada, which was very tasty. The chicken fajitas were plentiful with many options for increased tastes. The enchiladas were delicious too - all paired with a pleasant cava. The tres leches capped off a great experience.”
“We had a great time here for my boyfriend’s thirtieth birthday! We’ve been here before, but thanks to Gina and Ryan it was such a special night and one we won’t ever forget! The food was amazing of course, but the service was perfect and more than what we could have asked for a great Monday night out. :) Thank you Subito!”
“We ate at Prime tonight and it was over the top. The filet was the best steak I’ve ever tasted. The Half Baked Cookie à la mode was delicious and worth every calorie. The service was impeccable. Even the ladies room had layers of unexpected extra offerings that let you know the leadership of Prime is dedicated to making sure customers are very well cared for. We will definitely be back.”

“Super impressed with Better Blend Anderson. My friends have raved about BB Florence for years. I finally found BB in anderson. My family has ordered over 10 smoothies so far and we've enjoyed all of them. My favorites are LeanGreen and PBOreo. Impressed with the fresh produce used, the size and value. The store is so clean too!! Well done!! You made me a regular in one week.”
“Jot India was excellent! The restaurant was clean. And surprisingly, empty. Manpreet was absolutely fantastic. Very friendly and got our orders perfect. Since we are Indians, he said he'd ask the chef to spice it up to our levels and they absolutely did not disappoint.
We had the chicken dippers, chili chicken and malai kofta with alloo and kashmiri naan. The dippers were surprisingly good, since it was for our picky toddler who likes chicken nuggets and can't handle spice. The chili chicken and malai kofta were excellent. The malai kofta was surprising. I'm used to the kofta not having a batter around it but this one did, and it added a nice texture. Their mango lassi was also excellent. Definitely one of the best Indian food places we've been to in Cincinnati!!”
“We went for lunch and glad we did! The staff was amazing and the options were great! We tried several things including the cauliflower wings and the Mahi Mahi tacos. Everything was fresh and tasted amazingly! We each got the build your own pasta bowl and they too were great! They serve a variety of beers and signature drinks as well. Very clean and charming atmosphere. Definitely will be a regular in our rotation!”
“I became a forever customer. They welcome me like I'm there family. I love the positive vibes from this place. Even the best thing is the food is amazing. I always am here and always bring my friends and welcome people here.The owners are the sweetest, and all honesty, I wish I could work here because I love a positive work environment.”

“My families experience here was amazing. It was the first time 2 of our kids had tried Indian food. I explained that we wanted to try different dishes and let the staff guide us. He went over the menu and helped with selections. We ordered Mata Paneer, Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tika, and Chicken Tika Masala. We also got garlic naan, and I got a Masala chai. The food was great. We did order mild on all of it because we didn't want to scare off the kids. Even with mild the dishes were well spiced but not a hot spicy. Layers of flavor came out as you ate. My personal favorite was the Lamb Biryani, very tender chunks of lamb with great flavor. Each kid gravitated to something else. Our pickest eater said it got 40 stars. It was a mixture of the flavor and quality of the food along with the atmosphere of the restaurant that gave us a great experience. Thank you Masala Theory. Now while on vacation they might not ask to eat chicken tenders and fries.”
“It was a great experience, love the food and customers service. 10/10 recommended restaurants.”
“I was craving something sweet so I decided to get the Carmel milkshake and funnel cake fries.delicious.. 🤤 . i also stole a bite of Mac and cheese from my friend. they weren't playing when it came to the cheese, also very good. next time I'm going to try the chicken and waffles. bbs cyas”
