The food tastes like it was microwave... The only thing I would consider adequate on this train were the servers. They were simply nice people The REST IS AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF

I would not say that this is worth the price at all for me, unfortunately. $120 per ticket and they expect 20% gratuity, as stated by a card placed on every table, despite a cost breakdown insisting that the food is a small fraction of the experience’s overhead.

I completely understand that operating a passenger train one night a week for only 3/4 of the year will have some significant upkeep associated with it, and I do think it’s an important piece of history to maintain. However, why are you not paying the servers enough of that $120 ticket price for a 3 hour round trip to incur an additional 20% gratuity? Encourage small tips, sure, they are kind folks and they do hard work. But pay them a fair portion of the outrageous ticket price!

Absolutely fantastic!! It was so much fun and entertaining. Definitely worth the money and we will be doing it again. The food was really good and dinner was a 4 course meal.

Very romantic. Important to purchase tickets early so that you can request where you want to sit. However, I would like to go again to sit with other people we do not know. Food was great! Ride was good. Probably better in the fall instead of summer. Drinks are a little pricey.

My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in a new way. This was the perfect choice! The atmosphere was relaxing while having a great time with the themed entertainment. Sitting back and enjoying a 3 hour dinner with no phones gave me peace and relaxation. The food was good but the service is the best. Every person was friendly and helpful; making the experience more memorable.

It was a fun and unique way to spend date night. Dinner with a view and a step back into history during a simpler time when travel way seen as a luxury experience. the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying yourself, the conductor points out historic landmarks, all while the queen city sisters sing songs from the 40's and 50's! After dinner you are invited to the platform for a photo op and to blow the trains whistle!

This past Saturday my husband surprised me for our anniversary with tickets to the train. It was wonderful. Everything from the staff, to the food, learning about railroad history, to enjoying the after dinner entertainment was perfect. I had the prime rib and my husband had the salmon. Both were delicious. The Midnight Expresso cocktail was A++++. Shout out to Joel & Clara, they may our evening memorable.

I'm from out of town and drove over 5 hours to celebrate my 10 year anniversary in Cincinnati. The dinner train had an amazing appeal for a quiet dinner and learning experience. But the website doesn't include the truth. Once a ticket is purchased you learn of graffiti on the bridges and the not so scenic and historic views that were mentioned. It's also not so informative, you get a pamphlet and they talk maybe three times to annouce things and explain the rules. They also offer a private seating request, they do not honor it because they can't afford it. For the price of the ticket, it should be better developed. Overall it is not worth the price. A nice dinner and a short drive with google would have been better option.

Crap. First and last time, overpriced massively. Would not recommend.

Really nice experience! However two stars were removed due to the excessive talking of the conductor. Really just wanted to have dinner and enjoy the view and have conversations with my date. Instead, we were forced to listen to him talk entirely too much. We as adults were forced to sit in silence as he spoke, and we were forced to listen to his jokes that were pretty bad. Seemed like he just talked to talk…. Super nice guy, but he lacks self awareness. Spend some time talking in the beginning, afterwards just allow us to enjoy our dinner in peace.
