Phenomenal restaurant. The yuca, ceviche, and birria were all outstanding. Great service and strong drinks. If you are looking for high end, moderately priced Latin food, this is your place.

Holy cow. Hands down the best Latin American food in SW Ohio. Nada can suck it. There's a new boss in town.

Loved the atmosphere, service and food. Plantain appetizer and chicken enchiladas were delicious. We will return.

The food was excellent, I had the arroz con pollo and my husband the paella with crispy rice. The yuca fries were incredible and the ripe plantains with my arroz con pollo tasted like a little bit of Puerto Rico on my plate. Our server gave us incredible service and the the price during happy hour couldn't be beat. We will definitely be back.

Overall we were not extremely impressed by the food but the plaintain appetizer was very tasty. We thought the queso empanadas were going to be a mixture of queso with black bean puree and instead the black bean puree was on the side. It was tasty but not impressive. We ordered the chicken enchiladas and found them dry. It was mainly lots of chicken and barely any sauce or crema. The other dish ordered was the manchego crisp salad with salmon which was ok. We were not expecting it to be spicy. There was no mention of hot peppers on the salad and at first we thought they were regular red bell peppers. Our server was wonderful and very attentive but overall we were not impressed with the food.

First time at The Livery. It was all in all a good experience. The Tortilla Soup was the best I'd ever had (not spicy at all which suited me fine!). The Carriage House Margarita was delicious! I could have had 3, but one did the trick. Now, not so good.... I had the Taco Salad with grilled chicken as my entree. It was odd and seemed to be a Taco Salad in name only. The chicken was cold and dry. The ambiance of the restaurant was very comforting, just what my friend and I needed on a very cold evening and the service was fine. I definitely plan to go back and give the empanadas a try!

We ate with our teenage kids and everyone thought their food was delicious.
Ordered the paella. What came out was very dry Chinese fried rice with grilled seafood on top. Not paella at all.

Last minute dinner decision on a Friday always has its limits...most places worth eating out at have decent reservation times booked, but Livery did not. We made reservations for 7pm and walked in to a vibrant eatery with the proverbial chatter & clinking cutlery against porcelain plates. Not too loud, mind you...just loud enough to feel like you could talk without feeling like your voice was bellowing throughout the room. Tight menu w a South American vibe...Argentinan to be exact. Typical food selection for that style w empanadas, plantain tostones for apps, soups, salads & main courses...we chose to start w the Chicken Empanadas & for our entrées, the Birria, which according to our server, was new to the menu & the Skirt Steak. Room was full, but the wait wasnt too long...Bethany sipped on the Argentinan Cabernet & I a Stella w a sippin' side glass of Don Julio 1942 tequila. Empanadas came out, nice & hot, crispy & filled w a shredded chicken mixture. These were rather bland. Probably a preference thing, but both Bethany & I said the same thing. Not much flavor, salt nor spice. The main dishes came out w an incredible presentation...beautifully plated meals w color & texture. The Birria was knocked out of the park. Great flavor, tender texture sitting atop a saucy salsa-like dressing. Not you're typical super-soaked-birria dish you may be used to. The Skirt Steak was ordered Medium, but came out pretty rare...which is fine w me, but now, no longer shareable w Bethany! It sat atop a couple of Polenta Sticks that added texture & flavor to the dish...Aside from some lack of flavor in the Empanadas & a very undercooked Skirt Steak, the place is worth checking out...cost is up there, definitely not cheap, but when you combine the great service w some great dishes hard to not give it a shot.
