“My boyfriend and I dined here for the first time tonight and it was absolutely wonderful. Our server, Riley, was very attentive and kind and answered all of our questions about the menu. We had the calamari, ceasar salad, prime rib, and filet to eat and my boyfriend wasn't the biggest fan of the prime rib, but this place still earns 5 stars because of how good the rest of our food was! My steak was cooked perfectly, the smashed potatoes were SO good, and oddly enough they have the best croutons I've ever had. Definitely recommend and wr will be going back!“

“Why, when a party of 2 has a reservation, dining room is 60% open, does the host first try to seat us in the Barrel Room (dark), then the bar, then further back in the bar, then on the outskirts of the restaurant? I told him after the Barrel Room we wanted to be in the Main Dining Room. He was not happy, but then, neither were we that he had to give us the run-around. Dine there often and love it. Food, service, atmosphere are all A+, usually. Thanks for asking. Have already sent a note to deSha's. Not sure if they read and respond.“

“Mari so nice and helpful! I have an allergy to tree nuts and the oats all the way meal was not an option but she helped me still order and get a simpler version. She checked on us multiple times and made sure everything was done to our liking. Because of her I will come back. Thank you so much Mari. Hope I spelled your name right.“

“Great food! My only suggestion is to have a website so we can see the every day menu.“

“Hubby and I visited Cincinnati for the first time (we are from Ontario Canada) and enjoyed touring the Findlay Market. The food display at the Gourmand Group booth was both captivating and attractive. They offered a wide assortment of salads and some were vegan friendly. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. The bonus was a friendly chat with one of the booth keeper. Highly recommend! (PS. Thanks for that delicious black bean salad!)“

“My daughter and I went with friends today for lunch and it was amazing! There was plenty of parking outside (huge new lot!) and a lot of friendly staff members inside. There were giant TVs on every wall, a great food selection and drink menu. We had the deep fried pickles and cheese pulls for appetizers and they were fresh and delicious! They have a ‘Westside Charcuterie Board’ that’s an appetizer sampler platter for only 20.00! The kid meal was a nice size and my daughter loved the chicken tenders and waffle fries. The service was great. The staff was very attentive and polite. It was too hot for us to sit outside but the patio seating is really really nice! They have really made it a nice place to check out!“

“I ordered the Hash which was supposed to be eggs over potatoes and sausage, however there was no sausage. I complained and was brought the sausage separately. Apparently they scoop this up from some premade pan and do not make it to order so you get what you get. For the price I would not order this.“

“I came to the Summit to attend a birthday celebration in their ballroom. Dorothy provided outstanding service without making me feel like I was a burden. I have a hard time chewing, and she happily switched my food for me. It's little acts like this done with a smile that really make nights like this memorable. Thank you!“

Every dish you make has always tasted great! Please put. Camp Washington on the map, I’ve even brought gallons of your chili back to Michigan. My husband’s family loves it, and many, many friends do also? If it weren’t for my parents living on Colerain Ave. we would’ve never known, the great taste of your chili and all the ways you use it in meals?“
