“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!!!!!“

“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... 😍“

“The braised beef grilled cheese was divine! A charming restaurant. I will be back.“

“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.“

“My son & I, from the Columbus area, were in Milford at dinner time. Not knowing what was available near our location, he looked at what was in the area. This was the only place that was different. He had the mushroom Swiss burger, I had the smallest burger; we both had coleslaw. The burgers were delicious! Being hand-pattied was the special touch, as most come pre-formed. We were seated immediately around 6:00 on a Friday evening. Our waitress was prompt in taking and delivery, attentive without hovering. This was a great dining experience!“

“2025-08-18 - the food is great. I started with the chicken tortilla soup. It was a little gritty but had good flavor. Followed up by the 21 day aged sirlion with fresh vegetables. The sirlion was cooked as requested and the vegetables were fresh and cooked well.“

“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

We highly recommend their catering!!“

“Great environment with a friendly wait staff“

“Thank you so much for accommodating our large group of 12! Bucks is our FAVORITE Thursday night supper spot but we never considered hosting a family celebration there because of space and timing. The Bucks staff and owner made it all work, seating our party as they came, serving those of us who were early with appetizers, and AS ALWAYS, delicious food. The perfect atmosphere for our daughter’s birthday (who has been a Bucks fan for years).“

“Tasting and food was great. Also, service at tasting bar and dining table was great.“

“Great roof top area, food was amazing and prices were very reasonable . friendly staff. Will be back“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic service from our Server, Danielle and the whole team! I walked out, forgetting my leftovers on the table, but quickly ran back in to get it, but they had already bussed our table. The manager and Danielle were so sweet and accommodating. They made me another plate to take with me! superior customer service from a great restaurant with exceptionally great food.“

“My bison steak was overcooked which our waiter Joe noted immediately and he took it back to the kitchen. They cooked me a new steak medium rare which was done to perfection. The manager also came to talk to us and apologized profusely for the inconvenience. He also comped us the steak as well as a huge piece of chocolate cake for dessert in honor of our anniversary. Fantastic service and food. We will be returning often.“

“We loved the Beer Battered Fried Pickles, the Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings were awesome, and my daughter's jaw dropped when she saw the size of the Pretzel appetizer! Large portions and everything was great. Our server was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.“

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

“My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in a new way. This was the perfect choice! The atmosphere was relaxing while having a great time with the themed entertainment. Sitting back and enjoying a 3 hour dinner with no phones gave me peace and relaxation. The food was good but the service is the best. Every person was friendly and helpful; making the experience more memorable.“

“Stopped in today for Brunch, everything was amazing as always! Maeve was the bartender and I could see she had some guests that thought they were the only people who mattered. She smiled and was very professional. I tip my hat to her for having to deal with entitled people and not even flinch! We always try to get out to Loveland for brunch whenever possible. The staff is wonderfully knowledgeable, food is always delicious, and let us not forget the remarkable cocktails! They even have tasty ones for those who do not drink alcohol! I have to say Tano is my go to place!“

“Good environment and good people! We came here while visiting our family and the food, environment and service were great! I would recommend this place to any one living in the area or visiting! And thank you to the manager on duty, she graciously paid for our meal! It was greatly appreciated!!! It goes to show that there are good people still out there!“

“Food and drinks are amazing!! The best service from our server Saige!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you haven’t been to Pickles and Bones, you’re seriously missing out! This is hands-down the BEST barbecue around — the flavors are out of this world, and everything is cooked to perfection. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with smiling faces, top-notch customer service, and the warm, welcoming vibe of a true local gem. It’s rare to find a place that’s this professional, consistent, and full of heart. Honestly, the quality and taste are so amazing, this place could easily hold its own in New York City — yet here it is in our very own Milford, Ohio! It’s always a joy to come in and support such a well-run, passionate small business. Keep doing what you’re doing, Pickles and Bones — you’ve got lifelong fans over here! 👏🔥🍖“

“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!“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“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!!!“

“I always enjoy my visits to Quaker Steak and Lube! The service is consistently excellent, with friendly staff who go out of their way to ensure a great dining experience. The atmosphere is lively and perfect to watch some football. If you're looking for a place with great food and top-notch service, this is the spot!“

“Everything about Main St. Café is superlative. I think they have one of the best burgers in the city. Certainly in the top five of all the burger joints that I have been to, including zips and Dellwood. But on top of that, the last time I was there, I had the homemade
roasted red pepper soup. It was as good as the best soup in any high end restaurant. Service is excellent. As far as atmosphere, it is closer to zips than to Dellwood in terms of atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“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. ❤️“
