“This has been our go-to spot for celebrating big milestones. Most recently, we celebrated our son's 21st birthday here, and he was genuinely impressed by the thoughtful attention from the staff—from the birthday card placed on our table to the special dessert they brought out. Every visit feels special, and it's always a wonderful experience.“

“We went for my birthday to check out the place. Good food and top notch service.“

“I had dinner here last weekend and honestly, everything was phenomenal. The heirloom tomato salad was refreshing on a summer evening. Their cod was tender, and the accompanying chimichurri sauce was divine that I could've slurped it. If you love bananas, you must order the banana bliss for dessert.

Now on to the not so good, which was unfortunate, as the service overall from everyone was friendly. However, the evening was nearly ruined by the waiter who had an extremely offensive body odor. I understand that while serving, you may work up a sweat. But if you're larger, you have to take extra measures (besides a soapy shower), such as wearing an undershirt, anti-perspirant, and men's body powder.

I won't let that deter me and will definitely visit again because Alara is truly a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful aesthetic and food to match.“

“What can I say other than "Wow". Fine dining at another level of elegance. Shardae, my guide for, was incredibly efficient dealing with several tables simultaneously as if it were easy. The pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon was delicious and the presentation was top notch. Well worth the price.“

“We had a great meal at Nicholson's, as usual. Server, Deja, was very attentive, pleasant, and accurate. The food and the drinks (beers for me, mixed drinks for wife) were very good. We had Scotch Eggs, Salmon Crostini, the Welsh Dip sandwich, and the Shrimp and Grits, all delicious. Only minor point to note is that it is not the cheapest place. But what can you expect of a good place in a great location in downtown Cincinnati these days? The check without tips was just over $100.“

“It’s away enjoyable to dine here. Sheli is so personable and attentive to each customer! The food is excellent! And the desserts- to die for! 😋🤤 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
