“The worst financial decision we ever made was introducing our son to sushi. This place is amazing! Lots of choices and the belt was always stocked. The quality was superb and the cuts thick. The manager and staff were super friendly. We're from Columbus but we will definitely be back!
*We went back for my husband's birthday and it was just as great!“

“One team member said: "Cafe Mochiko is hands down one of the best Japanese bakeries that I have had the honor of trying. Everything is perfectly balanced regardless if you are a sweet or savory kind of person! The best part was my gluten free wife had some incredible options as well. The only thing that I wish is that I knew about them sooner. They are award winning for a reason and I highly recommend everyone to check them out!"“

“absolutely delicious experience. The conveyor belt featured a wide variety of appetizers, salads, fresh fruit, sushi, nigiri, and dessert. our waitress was super attentive and extremely polite. The atmosphere is very fun and entertaining as you watch the conveyor belt, the trams on top of the belt, and the robots delivering hot and fresh food. our waitress was on top of our drinks and explained the iPad and the conveyor belt system very well. Will definitely be back. for the two of us with a generous tip, it was under $50.“

The staff is always friendly and never acts like we are a burden no matter what time we show up. They have never tried to cram us with another family during the slower times. Our food has always been right and tastes great! We will continue to come back.“

On The Rocks Bourbon Bar & Restaurant Bar • $$
11400 Chester Rd, Cincinnati

“This is the restaurant inside the Delta Hotel Marriott Sharonville Cincinnati. It acts as both the Starbucks coffee and pastries along with an evening restaurant and bar.

I ordered both food to go and ate within the restaurant. They are pretty fast at making the food, however, there was barely anyone at the restaurant both times, so my order was out of the kitchen pretty fast.

I ordered a burger one night and got something with chicken the next day.

It's a decent enough restaurant and bar for a hotel and is a great place to meet up after a long day in meetings, or at a conference, or to escape an event.“
