“Tender Mercy has taken EXCELLENT care of us the last two weekends as we entertain family from out of town. Last night Dozo (the sushi restaurant inside) was just amazing. Every one in our party of five was blown away by each course. Sake and cocktails were equally delectable and service as always was above amd beyond.“

“I don’t review on here unless something is great or terrible, and Lily’s is firmly in the first category. I’ve visited since they opened and felt it was a great brunch spot, but the menu was a bit static for date night dinner. I’m happy to say, they’ve knocked it out of the park with their new menu and Tiki Bar theme.
Cocktails were well-crafted and deserving of the price point, food was excellent and the portions were incredible! Best of all was the service. I’ve always enjoyed the waitstaff at Lily’s, but the team they have now truly love their jobs and their customers, and it shows! They collectively serve the customers as a team and work very cohesively. The result was prompt service and getting to interact with multiple wonderful humans. 10/10 will be back again soon!“

“Food was really good but really expensive & for the money I spent I figured at the very least white rice would have been included with the main entree but I didn't get any 🍚. Kinda ruined it for me after paying $40 for entree & a cheap sushi roll.“

“The Hidden Gem Music Club is an awesome place! Can't wait to play there again. Nice, big stage with a great sound man! Nice stage monitors and they even have one for the drummer! A lot of places don't. We usually have to bring our own to shows. Great prices and great atmosphere as well! Will definitely be visiting the hidden gem again!“

“Mamacitas Cantina has quickly become my go-to spot for a fun evening with delicious, authentic Latin food! Love the vibrant decor and lively atmosphere! Made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation! The bar and food menu prices are reasonable and the cocktails are out of this world! Easily the best margarita that I've ever had and the pina colada was like a sip of paradise! The steak was the most tender that I've ever had in my life! Perfectly cooked and exquisite! My husband had the tacos and he loved them - we will definitely be back for their Taco Tuesday! I also heard that they have a dancing robot on Fridays...WHHHAAATT?! We have to see that! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening when they had karaoke, and it was a blast! We had so much fun! If you're in the Dayton/Kettering area and craving a taste of Latin America paired with a lively atmosphere, do yourself a favor and visit Mamacitas Cantina!“
