“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.“

“Enjoyed a Rubicon Creek at Sure Shot Tap Room. Loved it!“

“Had an amazing experience here! Great food, and amazing service! My two year old played claw machine and kept loosing, he was very upset. The nice staff opened it and made him believe he was playing and gave him a toy! They also gave one to my other son! Very sweet, and went out of their way to make his night! Food was great, and service was really fast! Very high quality building!“

“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!“

“My son brought me here today for an early Mother’s Day. The atmosphere was beautiful and our waitress was helpful with our lunch selections. The chicken and waffles were so good! I highly recommend this place!“

“Excellent service and very helpful in understanding menu and how to order. The mango and sweet potato rolls where excellent tasting and the lo mein beef noodle with mixed vegetable very tender and filling. I would say enough for two, reasonable prices spent $31 plus$5 tip in jar appreciate the help navigating something new to eat for dinner. Restaurant was very cIean and aesthetically pleasing, 😊I think I will dine in next time. Opens at 4:30 in evening. I like that the elders are part of staff dress very elegant in traditional style Thia fashion. AAA rated restaurant very clean comfortable chairs a plus for Dayton Ohio.“

“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!“

“Excellent food, great service and very quick!“

“The food is always served, so good. And everyone there is extremely friendly with outstanding service. �����“

“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!“

“The Turin trio was awesome. Huge portions, free soar dough bread(2) with butter spread. Good prices for what you get. Cool interior with an actual trolley car inside. Very nice staff also. Highly recommend this place.“
