I felt profiled while picking up a to-go order. Apparently they have an issue with people stealing service and I guess that excuses their lack of hospitality. I’ve never patronized this place previously and will not in the future. I understand trying to “mitigate your losses” but respectfully that’s not my problem. I’ve never stolen service in my life, had every intention of paying for my order and did! For more context, my wife placed an order over the phone and was told it’d be ready in 15 minutes. I had just finished at work and came to pick up the food more than 15 minutes from the time of placing so figured it’d be ready. After struggling to find a parking spot I left my car running so my heat could kick in and thought I’d be in and out but that wasn’t the case. Ultimately I felt very uncomfortable and profiled. I hope they can solve their issues with theft but also develop discernment on how to treat honest paying customers regardless of how they may seem to their workers.

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit The Establishment with another couple for a quick Sunday meal prior to heading downtown for a concert that evening. The pros: We were quickly seated on the back outdoor patio - the outdoor heater made it a pleasant experience. Our meals were good - my fried chicken sandwich was a very generous piece of chicken cooked and seasoned well. A good proportion of chicken to bun. My wife's loaded nachos were ok - we added chicken with an upcharge, but the chicken was lacking. The Philly cheesesteak sandwich and Cobb Salad that our friends got looked amazing and we were told were very good. The cons: Service was extremely slow. The place wasn't too terribly busy (plenty of empty tables outside), but each time we would order a round of drinks, they would come out about 10 minutes later. Our waitress was eating at the bar during service and was chatting it up with the bartender. That may have been why things were so slow. All in all, a decent place for a bite to eat....but be prepared to wait for your server.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Establishment is an absolute gem in Cincinnati! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between classy and comfortable — ideal for a night out with friends or a date. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel welcome. The food and drinks are top-notch, with great attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. You can tell they take pride in creating an experience, not just a meal. Whether you’re stopping by for dinner, cocktails, or just the vibe, The Establishment never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Don’t come here for your Gameday needs! I came here after work, had a few margaritas while sitting and patiently waiting for well over 45 minutes for a pound of boneless chicken wings. The staff kept telling me they were coming so I waited. 45 minutes later they come and tell me they’re out of chicken wings. I then asked to see a menu so I could order something else and they told me the kitchen was closed (it wasn’t even 7:30 pm at this point so it shouldn’t have been closed). The service was horrific and I’m pissed I sat there for nearly an hour waiting on food that was never coming from the start. They need to get it together and be honest with people from the start! The service was trash. I tried reaching out to them privately to fix this but they read my message and never responded.

Plan well. No parking. We ended up having to go somewhere else. Bummer

I hosted a work event at the establishment and the staff was nothing but amazing. I coordinated the event with John over email and he was very accommodating and quick to respond which is great for someone like me who matches that energy. We originally planned on being on the patio but the heat wave drove us indoors, the staff was quick to get our party situated and set up with no time at all. The food was delicious, the beverages were refreshing and I am definitely planning on being a repeat customer ! Thank you all for an amazing experience
Table service was a bit slow and there were not that many guests. However, food was hot and tasted great.

Always love coming here! The staff is super friendly, and always wants to ensure you have the best experience. Grace was especially amazing. Food was great, didn’t have to wait long. The seasonal cocktails were so creative and unique, 10/10 recommend!

Had the worst experience at the E this week. Another customer was racist and threatened to punch. Not only did the staff (Alex) not do anything about it, but he became aggressive and loud and proceeded his night as if nothing happened. We continued to try to get his attention, called the cops but he did nothing. Will not be coming back because no one deserves to be treated that way.
