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!"“

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.“

“This applies for the takeaways. First off, their curries are delicious and a good deal when you order to take away. Yes they are $17-18 which is more than some places but you get a lot of curry! Unfortunately the deal stops there. We also ordered a Pad Thai and it was over $17. The portion was ok but considering its just noodles and a few veggies that's a lot of money. The taste of the Pad Thai was just so so. Definitely disappointed in it. Last thing we ordered was some vegetable sushi. $8 for 6 tiny pieces. Definitely over priced. I still am rating 4 stars because the curries are delicious and so worth the money. Stick to them and you won't be disappointed“
