Popped in for lunch with coworkers. Service was lovely and they accommodated our large party no problem. Food was fresh, but didn't wow. Prices were a bit high for the quality of the food.

Genuinely one of the slowest, worst kitchens I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. Absolutely mediocre all around.

If you only care about having drinks and talking to friends, this place is a viable option. If you want to have a decent meal before doing something else, or heaven forbid, eat here with your family, go literally anywhere else.

Best Poutine...I would like extra cheese sauce!!! Numurous variety of mock cocktails...You screwed with Charlie Trotters' Chocolate Banana Bread...I would like the return of my malt ice cream!!! What in God's name are you thinking? Would you be willing to do Banana Foster's...Table side???

We didn’t get any food, because we didn’t get any service. We were seated outside, and were given menus. Several minutes passed, and no one acknowledged us, however we did hear two of the servers debating over who seated us. Several more minutes passed, not even so much as a glass of water. It wasn’t that busy, there were several staff around, no one even spoke to us. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

made reservations for brunch, not very busy when we arrived at 1115am. drinks were good, mexican coffee and a Yucatan. finally took our order. we ordered simple bruch.(it took 45 mins to arrive) salmon avocado toast with asparagus and summit apple french toast. the whipped cream looked watery, just scraped it off. kind of an akward moment when server asked if we were separate checks. overall i will try again for a dinner or another meal knowing it will take longer for food to arrive.

First time here. It was a pleasant experience. The food was terrific and the waitress was wonderful. It's little hard to find, but a rewarding experience.

Indoor and outdoor experience we both amazing. I love the chicken and waffles, but beware that it's a large serving, and delicious. The Salmon Burger is my close second, and again, beware, that the serving is very generous.

Maybe they were having a bad night but it took 2 hours to get us from being seated to leaving. It was about an hour to get appetizers, foccacia and calamari. My dinner was very wrong and it was obvious that my husband's dinner sat under warmers while they remade it. That doesn't work for pasta. Quite a disappointment. Definitely not a $150 dinner.

Food was ok, but the kitchen was unbelievably slow for not that busy of a service. Not the servers fault, but a dinner shouldn’t last 2.5 hours. Overall disappointing for just ok food

12:30pm on a Saturday and nobody at the front and after 5 min I had to ask a server if there was a hostess.

Look, it’s Saturday during brunch / lunch. This place has good food but if you gotta fight to be seated just go to the Senate like we did. 9/20/2025 12:30 if management cares.

Close to main business district along Reed Harman Highway in the growing entertainment and living district of Summit Park (former site of Blue Ash Municipal Airport). Casual upscale dining with still reasonable prices (prices are going up everywhere!) attentive service and nice ambiance with booths offering a lot of privacy. Interesting decor with lots of pictures of dogs. Lots of free parking in the area, but walk to restaurant is short (no further than a football field even on the busiest day)
