Amazing veggie fries and incredible gumbo. Cocktails and dessert were spot on, too.

I was quite disappointed and I’m so sad about it! I very specifically chose this place because of the ambience and ravings about their food/drinks. Things started off strong with the incredible red wine I got and the trout dip appetizer. However my husband got an aperol spritz that was not good at all. Our entrees were also disappointing. I got the chicken gumbo that just wasn’t as flavorful as I would like and my husband’s ravioli just wasn’t what one would expect for the price. The atmosphere of this place is absolutely incredible but the experience left us wanting.

While in town for the Cincinnati Open, we discovered this gem of a restaurant......quaint atmosphere, lots of character...EXCELLENT cuisine ( order the Moroccan veggie fries!)....delicious cocktails, and super service! If we lived near Mason, Ohio, we would be frequent patrons. Yum! And you'd best be sure to have reservations!!!!!

My wife and I were in town for the tennis tournament. We had dinner here twice because it was soooo amazing! Both meals were fantastic, simply fantastic, and the service and staff were equally as good. Can’t wait to eat here again when I’m back in town.

In a world where going out to dinner has grown increasingly disappointing, with mediocre food, inattentive staff, and an overall generic feeling in terms of ambiance, a paradise of dining emerges!
I don’t know how I have never had the pleasure to dine here, but it was exactly what my family hoped… and beyond.
We enjoyed chicken stew, corn chowder, fondue, and beets with microgreens - but none of those descriptors can possibly convey the carefully-crafted layers of flavor that made each dish not only distinct but absolutely dignified above others in its category. Flavors were complex, incredibly complimentary, surprising, and so so satisfying!
Each of us literally EXCLAIMED with our first taste of our food. In an age where preservatives, grease, salt and sugar have become our 4 food groups, this meal has resurrected our taste buds from the dead. Beautiful presentation, delicious freshness from local sources.
We capped it off with a lava cake and their newly-crafted ice cream - the creamiest I have EVER had!
This place is a diner’s paradise! I hope to be back soon! Maybe tomorrow :)!

We went here to celebrate my wife's birthday, first time here. From the service to the food, everything was top notch.
The restaurant is an old house and some spaces are a bit tight but it's a nice home like atmosphere. The server was very knowledgeable and gave us the daily rundown and was personable.
The food was so good. The seafood bisque was the best I've tried, my wife who grew up on seafood couldn't get enough. The salad was also a standout, you can tell it was fresh and flavorful. The hit of the evening was the giant dry ages tomahawk steak. It was huge, bit I've never had such a large piece of meat that was so flavorful throughout. I had to ask how they did that because every bite was good. I believe it was an American Wagyu and it compared favorably with Wagyu I've had elsewhere. There was no noticable gristle or cartilage. It was smoked and seared. A meat lovers dream. The sides that went with it were also great.
We decided in the middle of the meal to bring our family and friends. They are a legit farm to table restaurant with high standards. A small gem right in Mason. They also have a huge selection of wins and a cigar area.
Excellent food every single time I've gone there. Always a great atmosphere and service as well. And I definitely recommend the Wagyu steak if you're up to splurge. We were able to split it between two of us.

I have been fortunate enough to eat at incredible restaurants around the world. Paris, London, Istanbul. I have lived in NYC for the last 7 years after growing up across the street from this restaurant. I have access to incredible food whenever I want it. All of this to say… I came home for a visit and my parents and I had dinner at Wildflower. It will likely be the most delicious meal of my life. I have thought about it at least once a day for a week. My dad had The OG Burger and said it was great (it was huge). The Moroccan spiced fries that came with it? Delicious, the perfect amount of spice. My mom and I shared the Wildflower Salad and the Butternut Squash Ravioli. “Like an entree and a dessert in one,” is what our server told us about the ravioli. Not wrong. It tastes like Thanksgiving and I mean that in the best way possible. I have never had better ravioli in my life. I went to Rome and ate 12 bowls of pasta over 6 days, pasta that I thought could never be beat, and none of them compare to this ravioli dish. I am compelled to write this review solely based on the ravioli. Please go treat yourself to this meal. Don’t share it with anyone either, have it all to yourself! I will be thinking about it for the rest of my life lol. Based on how incredible the meal was, we had to try dessert, so we shared the carrot cake. It was gorgeously presented and a very good carrot cake. Service was great and the restaurant itself is so nice, inside and outside. I hadn’t been since it very first opened and so much has changed! I’ve been missing out! I can’t wait for my next trip home so I can come back for more incredible food.

An old house turned into a restaurant. The experience was amazing. Everything has so much flavor. We got the bread with garlic butter, wildflower salad with chicken, the short rib dinner and butternut squash ravioli, along with the carrot cake. Amazingly good!!!

A Stellar Celebration Upstairs at Wildflower Café & Wine Shop! We recently hosted a party for over 20 people upstairs at Wildflower Café & Wine Shop, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue itself provided a charming and intimate atmosphere for our gathering. The upstairs space felt private and perfectly suited our group, offering a comfortable and inviting setting for everyone to mingle and celebrate. However, the true stars of the show were undoubtedly our hosts, T.J. and Allen. From the initial planning stages to the very last guest departing, their hospitality was exceptional. They were incredibly accommodating to our needs, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring every detail was taken care of. During the event itself, T.J. and Allen were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and had a wonderful time. Their warm and genuine demeanor truly elevated the entire experience. Beyond the wonderful hosts and lovely space, the Wildflower Café & Wine Shop's offerings were also a highlight. While we primarily utilized the upstairs space for our gathering, the availability of their diverse wine selection and delicious café fare added another layer of enjoyment. Our guests raved about the drinks and the overall ambiance of the establishment. We wholeheartedly recommend Wildflower Café & Wine Shop for anyone looking to host a special event. T.J. and Allen are truly exceptional hosts, and their dedication to providing a memorable experience shines through in every aspect. We can't wait to visit again!
