Share your opinion about Colette OTR • Mostly French Restaurant by Chef Danny Combs
We went here to celebrate my birthday and had an excellent experience. The atmosphere is fancy without being too pretentious (no dress code). The house made bread is very soft and pairs perfectly with the butter. I loved the burger and fries and my husband loved the lamb pasta. He is not a big fan of restaurants in general but even he said that he enjoyed this place. We would return and highly recommend.
Another outstanding meal at Colette. Greeted immediately and gracefully by the hostess who was so accommodating when we decided to stay at the bar for dinner. Great service and drink recommendations by Anne. Fried green tomato salad is fresh, crispy, full of flavor. Colette Burger is among the best burgers I've ever had! And we enjoyed being able to see the street and park scenes outside and engage with other bar dining patrons. All around great evening.
The food is incredible. It’s the best meal I’ve had in Cincinnati in a long time.
We had the carrots, roasted beets, brioche Icelandic cod, ravioli and two amazing desserts. That cod was heavenly as were the beets, but everything was so good.
Service was excellent and the decor is beautiful and thoughtful.
10/10 will recommend to anyone, whether you live here or are just visiting.
