“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!“

“Our new favorite place!!“

“Audrey was amazing today, which was only second to the meal!“

“The smash burgers and fries are yummy! I just wish that they still served their delicious pies for dessert. It's a real shame to not serve something so mothwatering good as their honey vinegar pie.“

“Was looking for a breakfast place, let me tell to you, today we found a great hidden gem. The price was spot on, the portions were great! Staff was super nice and friendly!! Will definitely 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 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!!!!!“

“Excellent experience. Great service by our waitress, Nicole, who was friendly and professional. We each got salads - mine with strawberries and shrimp, my husband has the BLT with Salmon. Delish! We sat at the back booth by the waiter station which was a bit chaotic. We will follow my intuition next time and try to sit on the window side.“

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

“I had dinner here last weekend and honestly, everything was phenomenal. The heirloom tomato salad was refreshing on a summer evening. Their cod was tender, and the accompanying chimichurri sauce was divine that I could've slurped it. If you love bananas, you must order the banana bliss for dessert.

Now on to the not so good, which was unfortunate, as the service overall from everyone was friendly. However, the evening was nearly ruined by the waiter who had an extremely offensive body odor. I understand that while serving, you may work up a sweat. But if you're larger, you have to take extra measures (besides a soapy shower), such as wearing an undershirt, anti-perspirant, and men's body powder.

I won't let that deter me and will definitely visit again because Alara is truly a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful aesthetic and food to match.“

“Trio is the best! Can't say enough good things about the food and service! Kaitlyn our server is beyond fantastic!“

“takes you back in time. homemade food ,great atmosphere, treat you like family!“

“Celebrated my birthday with Gluten Free Donut Holes🙌🙌 So good! The staff was so friendly, the food is always delicious!“

“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 have been to MaineTowne several times now and LOVE their food! Each time has been an amazing experience and they have the best staff! We love their food so much we also do pickup orders when we don’t have time to go for a sit down meal! Highly recommend!“

“I love this place Autumn and Kristen are the best bartenders I've ever had!! The food is top notch too!“

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

“I was introduced to Apple Spice Junction and they are now officially incorporated into my lunch needs for work. Last week 38 boxed Classic lunches were ordered and today 18 boxed Deluxe lunches were ordered. Safe to say that I WILL ALWAYS BE BACK. Great food, and even better service. They are keepers as far as I’m concerned. 10/10 A+“

“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!“

“We had really great service...there were at least 30 of us here and our server, Shell was absolutely amazing! She was excellent..and the food was delicious!!!“

“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).“

“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.“

“A true gem in the heart of Ohio. ??“

“We were there after a soccer game and the server was slammed and she still managed to get to us in a respectable amount of time. The food was amazing and the fries stayed hot all through the meal!!“

“Best breakfast place in the area. Coffee is awesome and the service cannot be beat!“

“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.“

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 was delicious!!! Table was too small for 4 guests. Smaller parties occupied much larger tables.“

“Some friends and I who had not seen each other in many years met up at Cooper’s Hawk last night for dinner. We were treated so well in every aspect! They let us catch up for hours and our server answered our many questions about the menu and wine with patience and knowledge. Our food was delicious and the wine pairings were excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially our wonderful server, we had a wonderful evening!“

“This location is the cleanest skyline I’ve ever been to. The employees are so friendly and accommodating. Great place !!“

“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!“

“Cleveland Brown's fans this is your hang out spot in Cincy. Ok beyond that, the food was very good, the selection was huge. Fast service and clean place. There is still outdoor seating to enjoy. We drove an hour to try it and brought the parents. No one was disappointed. Well except the Browns' fans. That was a tough lose to Detriot. But they had good food and cold drinks too console themselves with until next week. Highly recommended 👌“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and excellent at their job!“

“If you're looking for a very good steakhouse with excellent quality food, great service, atmosphere, and affordable that's without the Jeff Ruby price tag, then I would recommend giving this establishment a try. It's a nice step up from your Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse chains. It's very reasonably priced for the food and service you receive. Everything on the menu that I have orderd has been excellent. So if you're looking for something more than your average chain steakhouse without dropping the high end steakhouse pricing, then I would recommend giving it a try.“

“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!“

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

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

“8/24/25: Haely did a great job handling all tables on Sunday afternoon.

Update: Nov 3, 2023
The service was quick, and food was good. We came for early dinner. It was busier than usual.

Original:
Came for lunch on Thursday. It was not too busy. The service was quick, and our waiter was very nice and friendly.
We ordered the ribeye steak - turned out that it was very good. I would say it's better than Texas Roadhouse. Overall was good.“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“
