“This is my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. The service and food is always on point. I get the garden hash for breakfast and either the scallops or the mushroom pasta for dinner. I love the ambiance in there as well. They have a nice outdoor area and they have areas you can rent out for parties. Highly recommend.“

“We had an amazing meal at Alara! The service was excellent and the food and beverages were delicious! The pain killer cocktail is a must try (TRUST!). The HOP cakes were delicious and refreshing (like a crab cake sans crab). I also really enjoyed the Iberian pork chops and the scallops. I will be thinking about those pork chops for a while... 😍“

“My wife and I sat at the bar for a late lunch at 230pm. We asked to have one tv switched to Gox News to follow the on going war/conflict in the middle east. The server at the bar was quite accommodating and put the news on for us. We were the only patrons at the bar area and only people to be able to see the TV. The manager came over to tell us ,not ask us, that she was changing the channel because they strive for a more inclusive environment. Because of this we will never return to Northstar cafe.“

“Our waitress was Rhianon, and she was absolutely fantastic! Food was great, and service was awesome. Highly recommend the filet mignon and New York strip!“

“My wife and I spent our 37 wedding anniversary in the Cincinnati area. We wanted to find a nice place, but different than the usual for our anniversary dinner. My wife found Meritage Restaurant online and said it sounded like what we wanted. She called to make a reservation and from the conversation on the phone we were excited to eat here! After arriving to the area, which was a hidden gem in itself, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess! We ask to sit upstairs to enjoy the live music and those guys did not disappoint with their blues/jazz music! Our waitress, she is why there should be no tax on tips! She knew her stuff and was AWESOME! The food, from the stuffed mushrooms, to our dinner, to dessert did not disappoint! EVERYTHING was perfect and it made our anniversary a very special evening! I would drive the two hours from our house to eat here again! GREAT PLACE!!!!!“

“A one-of-a-kind evening on the rails!

If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Dinner Train is an absolute must. I recently took the ride and it completely exceeded my expectations.

From the moment you step aboard the beautifully restored vintage railcars, you feel transported to a different era. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the evening special without being overly formal.

I had a delicious four-course meal (the calzone I chose was amazing!), and loved that you pick your entrée when you book. Everything was served hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The train ride itself is smooth and scenic—you catch glimpses of the city that you just don’t get from the road.

Even if you’re not a train enthusiast, this is a wonderful option for a date night, special celebration, or hosting out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, great food, and a little adventure. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and visitors!“

“worst store in all categories. I live in Fairfield, Ohio but go to the Harrison store instead., Harrison Cracker Barrel has its act together,“

“Went for ice cream this evening. We are new here and loving the drive through desserts. Cole took our order. Service was above and beyond from being served by Cole until we received our ice cream. The pupcup just top it off perfect!“

“awesome food great server matt! some lady was talking very loudly and rude about the prices and he handled it well. Saw some post on facebook with her starting stuff about it but please don’t listen to that. they were straight rude and got what they deserved. some people need to understand that servers are humans too and you can’t talk to them however you want! good job matt for handling that situation and shoutout to angelo for making the best food in town! Btw prices are amazingly low! don’t be a cheapskate;)!“

“Our favorite Friday night spot! We visit weekly and I am finally taking time to come here and write a review. Hands down the best service, food and atmosphere! I love their menu, there are plenty of options for every one. We’ve had them accommodate large groups for us and again provide top notch service. We always request our favorite server, Dion and she never disappoints! She is friendly and so attentive to us. We appreciate her! We appreciate a close place to enjoy a great meal and spend time with friends and family! ❤️“

“Awesome thank y’all for a yummy breakfast 🥞“

“thanks for feeding our #primeelite boys tonight before their first tournament tomorrow! showing love to the locals ❤️🔥“

“we ate in today, my mother and i. our experience with our server, Amber was unlike any experience that we've had before I'm grateful. I haven't necessarily given them the best ratings in the past, I don't remember our server's name those times. Amber however will be unforgettable for the rest of my life and here's why. there were a couple of elderly couples that were seated after us, and she was very familiar with these people already, whereas we were not familiar with her at all. she handled each table differently, accordingly, no doubt with respect and love. heavy on both. I had to call and record a charge on my card and I was kind of holding my mom up and be able to order food and I felt bad because she was starving. somehow some way, Amber had our food out to us very quickly, cooked perfectly, absolutely everything the way that we ordered it. we didn't have to send anything back, we didn't have to ask for anything else extra to be brought to us, she even walked by after a few minutes and brought us extra napkins. I mean, super top notch service. quick, perfect. and that singing voice on that woman oh my god! I was a little reluctant to eat here today because my last few times eating here weren't necessarily the best experience, but I will be back for sure.“

“Listen, I’ve had horrible experiences here, BUT after today, I will most definitely come back, my server, Mia was perfect! The food was killer, the service was outstanding!! She made my day!!! This server deserves a raise!“

“Faith Restored hallelujah!!! I’ve been coming to this establishment for years and never had a problem I had to leave a bad review until last visit. I was angry and upset and just did it. My 80ish old Mother in law wanted to go for her birthday so I gathered the entire family and I gave it another try. So glad I did.
We actually had the same waitress as last time. She was night and day and did a great and professional job. I ordered the apps and man did I choose the right ones. The kids love the pretzels and I wanted to try the loaded Saratoga chips. When she came back with them I was beyond amazed by the quality and quantity. If you’ve never had their homemade chips you’re missing out. They should market these , sell these in stores. They are light, fresh and the taste is out of this world !! The beer is always icy cold and delicious. We all tried something different this time and everyone was super satisfied. I don’t think a visit to a restaurant could’ve been any better. I know every person and every restaurant has a bad or off kind of day. I want to apologize for being angry and giving you a bad review. Nobody is perfect. Your reply was very professional and you even offered to pay for my meal. You’re back on the map for taking my entire family out when we’re remotely in the area. Appreciate your restaurant and the team that supports it. ❤️“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“First visit today - I ordered 2 full slabs, the fried cabbage, jalapeño corn bread stuffing, and potato salad sides, all of which perfectly compliment the smoke on those ribs. Also got to sample a new menu item - jerk pork burnt ends. Absolutely fantastic! The flavor of that jerk sauce will give you chills. Definitely coming back to try everything (yes, everything) else. Dine in or carry-out - just go get some!!“

“I love the atmosphere, it’s elegant but with the door opening and closing that made it chili and that’s why I gave the 4 stars. The wait staff was excellent. Swift, patient, knowledgeable, all stepped in and helped, truly satisfied with the service! The food was exquisite!!! I had the baked chicken and baked potato and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection!!!! I only gave 4 stars because for me I feel the menu is limited with choices I like. The person I was with raved about the trout, couscous, and Brussels sprouts! This was a special night, special event, and j Alexander felt just as special!!!“

“Stopped by for the first time on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised ! We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and personable. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean. More importantly - the food was delicious! It was so good, we actually returned the next day to try a few different options !“

“On 2-7-25 I ordered at drive thru. I waited for them to bring out my order. 4 cars behind me got their order.I went inside to find out where my order was. Asst Mgr Barb, without missing a beat continued filling orders, asked if they had my order.When she got no answer, she asked one of the cooks to make my sandwich.She asked another co-worker if she had coupons. Once my order was ready, she sincerely apologized for the and gave me my food and the coupon. I told her I was impressed with how she made things happen and took care of the situation. She was very professional and was doing an awesome job managing the business.“
