“The night we went, the place was packed. And if my experience is any indication of normal operations, I may have found my new favorite restaurant.1. My entree was outstanding.2. I tried my wife's...outstanding.3. They have hot Italian beef sandwiches (Chicago style) on the menu. Which I cannot find anywhere in Cincinnati.4. The atmosphere was 1st class but the lighting was almost a little too dark, but only almost.5. The service was also outstanding.I've already told a few people about this place and cannot wait to go back and get the hot Italian beef!“
“Had private event for dinner -retirement party for co-worker. Food was excellent. They brought the retiree a piece of cake at the end and made him feel special. Appetizers were so good ( especially spinach dip). Cheese cake for dessert was amazing (and huge).“
“I came here for the lobster crab shrimp BLT and I thought I found the love of my life but not this time. I wish the filling of the seafood portion had more texture with pieces of meat. It puts me in mind of tuna salad. It’s a cold sandwich but the filling was ice cold. The French fries could use improvement as well. Overall the food wasn’t nasty but I wouldn’t order or recommend it. Over priced as well for what’s given. The restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely come back to try another dish. I sat at the bar and the young lady who took my order was very pleasant which is why I ate in.“
“We celebrated our Mom's 81st birthday and could not have been more pleased. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The service was top notch. Our food was delicious, every single item, including the scallops, the salmon (my favorite), of course the steaks (tender and juicy), and all the sides (especially the Brussel sprouts). And then there was dessert!! Carrot cake and butter pie were the top favorites of our group.We appreciated the attention to detail and our experience was excellent!!“
“This is a very classy and expensive restaurant with a good view of the river if you get the seat that allows it. On my reservation, I specifically asked for a table by the window. I did not get that. But the evening was very good all in all“
“We had a great date-night at Tony’s! Paul was our server and was amazing. He was personable, went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect, and had great menu suggestions. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the portions were great. Paul suggested the cheesecake and it delivered! Great service, great food, and a great night!“
“We enjoyed a delightful lunch at The Capital Grille where we tried their salmon and Signature cheese burger. The burger was a perfect blend of flavors accompanied with delicious truffle fries. The juicy salmon complemented by the mango avocado salad. Must try the lobster bisque if on the menu. Each bite was a savory delight, and the top notch server Bijen added a wonderful touch to the meal. Overall, it was a delicious experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and tasty option. Looking forward to coming back for dinner. Thanks Bijen!“
“The grilled chicken burger is one of the best things I have ever eaten. It is not a chicken breast, they grind the chicken there and add these magical spices, then you eat it alllll! Yum! The Nicest people own this grill, too. Very clean, too.“
“The food was good. Service was good. My only problem is that a mistake was made were I was charged with my friends food for $134 when my bill was $28.03. The waitress and manager fixed the mistake but there was never a simple "sorry" or "we apologize".Still a good place to eat.“
“So appreciative of service and care! Post pregnancy all my sister wanted was a massive platter of sushi. The owner allowed us to customize some of the rolls for dietary preferences. We actually ordered two platters but we gobbled down the first one before I could take a photo. The sushi was fantastic! Would highly recommend.“
“Our first time here, we decided to go somewhere different for our 10th anniversary, my husband got the aged ribeye & I got the grilled salmon , everything was very good , waiter was very attentive. They also brought us a dessert plate , that had Happy Anniversary written on it in chocolate, with cheesecake ( that was delicious)“
“This place is a hidden gem. Food was amazing. Great service. Wife got the main pho dish. I got the spicy beef soup (is not hot by itself, heat comes on the side). Both were the best pho meals we have had! We will be going back.I highly recommend the spicy beef soup!“
“My family came for Easter brunch today and it was amazing. My girlfriend and I had not been before, and we were impressed quickly. The crab cakes are the best I have had, and the lemon-grilled shrimp was delicious. The crab & cheddar quiche was very good as well as the shrimp cocktail. My girlfriend enjoyed the mimosa, too. Our waiter, Max, was fantastic.“
“I'm not one to take pictures of my food, but I am the one who always orders seafood when I go to a new or different restaurant. Every single time I was so disappointed UNTIL La Jaiba! Had the shrimp burrito for lunch and their fish tacos as take out for dinner. For the first time at a new place, they were amazing! I highly recommend La Jaiba on Montgomery Road. Perfection! And give them your business during Lent, they don't disappoint.“
“I met a friend at Meritage for lunch. We had not see each other for a while so we were looking forward to catching up and at the same time enjoy a great lunch. The food was great. I appreciate that there are options for a "lighter" lunch. The only problem was the noise level. The table next to us seemed to think we wanted to share in their conversation. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem. Last year I met a group of friends for dinner at Meritage and there were a group of men who were loud. But I have to say because of the food and serve I would recommend Meritage to friends and also go again.“
“Amazing! The jumbo shrimp bruschetta was amazing. The dirty rice and shrimp gumbo are amazing. I worked at Pappas #1 off bellaire blvd back in 1993. I know the quality of the their food and their service. It is nice to see that it has continued. Just moved to Cincinnati but I will be a regular. Absolutely top notch food, service and cleanliness. Thank you“
“I mean the food was ok-ish I'm sorry it was just way way too salty! And both my friend & I are on low sodium diets (her for health reasons & me for moral support) our servicer was awesome ?? and the restaurant was just well there nothing stood out to me really.“
“My girlfriend and I look forward to going here every weekend. I was cautious about leaving a review because I didn’t want anyone to know how great this place was. It should be packed more often. Great beers, amazing food, and awesome people.“
“The food was delicious. The temperature was freezing. There was a vent blowing cold air right on the table full blast. After awhile we did say something to the server. She said she would ask about turning it down but it never happened. We hurried to eat, didn't get dessert, and left quickly strictly due to the temperature being so cold. (We were even dressed in suits from church so it wasn't about our clothing choices.). Disappointing because we loved our food.“
“The food and service were great. The first time we sat outside as they have a large outdoor dining area, the next time we sat inside. Both times the food and service have been amazing. The arroz con pollo was my favorite but the chori pollo has taken the lead. Either way you can't go wrong. If you can take the heat, ask for the homemade hot sauce, you may or not regret it.“
“My husband and I came out of town to kill time before hotel checking, but knew I wanted to check this place out because I looked up places the night before.I walked in, picked our own seat, waitress Amber was great-- great attitude and sense of humor. Xscape-- just kick it was playing-- very unexpected. Ordered our bbq burger and our FOUR DOLLAR LONG ISLANDSSS?? The drinks weren't watered down, my burger was cooked -- medium rare-- perfectly and the beer cheese was exceptional!! 10/10 recommend“
“This place was such a great treat!!! I can not believe how amazing the food is. I just stopped in for the first time to buy y family dinner! Not only is the food so very very delicious; the man has the best customer service! While I was waiting on my food he helped two ladies out to their car with their food! He was fast and efficient!!! I would recommend this place to everyone! Not to mention there was plenty of food since I feed two boys that don't play when they eat! They are "cornfed" as Cincinnati would put it. GREAT PLACE! GREAT FOOD! Oh I almost forgot the fried okra! Mmmmmmm!“
“The buffet here is small, but don't let that stop you from coming here. The food that they do have on the buffet is delicious. Very fresh food as they brought it to the buffet in small batches, frequently. It felt very clean and the decor is simple yet pretty. And compared to other buffets in the area, it was very well priced.“
“What an amazing dining experience. The food was delicious and the drinks complimented the food perfectly. I recommend trying the tiramisu, and the seafood ravioli.Vegetarian options: They have a dedicated menu section for vegetarians that is still as amazing as the rest of the menu“
“What a great way to end my Resurrection Sunday @J Alexander’s with my family, eating some delicious food, in a nice atmosphere & being served by an awesome server(sorry didn’t get his name??♀️). Will definitely addJ Alexander’s to my list… oh and the lemon cheese cake…chef kiss❣️ “
“I had carry out. The Shrimp Fried Rice was the best I have ever had. The Shrimp was fresh and tasty. It was good quality Shrimp. It a really good overall taste. I live in Northern Kentucky, 14 miles away, but I will drive over just to have more of their Shrimp Fried Rice. It egg roll was not fresh, but the Shimp Fried Rice was delicious.“
“Went for dinner to celebrate graduation and 18th birthday. Our server was courteous and friendly. The food arrived quickly and was generous in portions. A mixed drink was done well. The view of the river is scenic and relaxing. Food was pricey but the expert was worth it. Thumbs High! ?“

“Millions Crab Seafood & Bar offers a unique dining experience with their F combo that includes delicious seafood like peeled shrimp (my shrimp choice) I also added broccoli. And custom combo with shrimp and lobster tail. However, my experience was slightly marred by the missing potatoes and corn in my F combo order, which required me to ask for them separately, I didn’t ask for the corn. Despite the hiccup, the clean atmosphere and friendly staff made the visit enjoyable. The presence of a bar without a bartender was disappointing, but we was still able to enjoy a Long Island and a passion-peach mary which were both good. Overall, Millions Crab Seafood & Bar provides a good dining option for seafood lovers, with room for improvement in their service and attention to detail.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. I have to watch my calories and carbs, so hot pot works well for me because I just get protein and vegetables. I’m there almost once a week and I travel 30 minutes to get there, I love it so much! The service is also outstanding. My only critique is that they charge $3.95 for soda water from the fountain. I don’t know any establishment that charges for soda water.“
“Love the lemon pepper chicken wings. One of the best lemon pepper wings around but I have some questions. Why are y'all charging $1 for sauce when sauce comes with wings? I can see if we wanted extra sauce or seasoning but not just to put it on the food. Also what is this (pictured), why would all the cheese be together like this?“
“Everything was perfect! Everytime I order. Friendly faces, clean kitchen and waiting area. Only thing is, if you like spicy, ask for extra spice. I wanted spicy Kung Pao and Wonton Ton soup. It was bland to me. Fabulous flavor, I just like a lil more kick.“
“Was there Friday night…. Right back Saturday morning! Above average customer service! You may not like the parking, but that’s it! Everything else from good to people is exactly what I expected! Food was hot and good, so tips were a must! I’ll continue to support!“
“My favorite from scratch cooked food restaurants in the Cincinnati area. Just Cookin BBQ has such a wonderful variety of selections to choose from. And I have been pleased with all of my purchases. Thank you for such great meals, when I don't feel like cooking myself!“
“Drove in to Ohio from Dallas for a special occasion and stumbled upon this place and I’m so glad we did! We were only in town for a few days and everyday we were there, we made sure to go grab some food from here. I had whiting and wings on the first day, catfish and wings on the second day, on our way back to Dallas we stopped and I got catfish and 2 legs and a wing! The food is so good and is seasoned so well! The dessert is also to die for! We tried sweet potato pie, lemon cake, Oreo cake, and the cheese cake with strawberry swirl ALL of the desserts were YUMMY especially the Oreo cake! I recommend everyone to try this place and if you don’t or haven’t you are missing out for sure! The guys behind the counter is very kind and cool (especially Souhipe)…he noticed that we came to eat 3 days in a row and gave us or last meal for FREE!!! Now that’s customer service right there!“
“We used the new online ordering system and it was simple and easy to place an order. The wait was longer than quoted when picking up. We ordered:1. Crab Rangoon - these were made well and had the right ratio of filling to wrapper - very yummy. These are still my favorite! (5/5 ?)2. Steam fried dumplings - these had a great flavor and I would order again. (4.5/5 ?)3. Shrimp fried rice - this was also prepared well and adding extra shrimp is cheap! Definitely ordering this again. (4.5/5 ?)4. Chicken Mei Fun - this was my first time ordering this dish and it was prepared well. I am not sure of the expected flavor profile but seems to need a little bit more seasoning/flavor overall. (2.5/5 ?)Updated from a new visit -5. ? ? - pretty good however the chicken-to-breading ratio is off. Too much breading. (3/5 ?)6. ? lo mein - our kids like this and rated it really yummy. (4/5 ?)7. Chicken wings - these were prepared well but were mildly seasoned. These need more n?. (3/5 ?)“
“This was my first time and I was truly impressed. My dish really good, it was a fish stuffed dish which was amazing. My better half had the burrito and he ate the entire dish. We both agreed to return so that we can try something different. I'm sure we will be amazing once again. Big Thanks to the crew, our meals were GREAT!??...“
“Last night was our first time trying bonefish and I was really really impressed. The chimichurri filet was honestly some of the best steak I've ever had and everything else was delicious. Our server whitney was sweet, funny and helpful. Only strange thing was getting seated, there were multiple people working the front/host stand but they just kinda stared and walked away. After getting seated everything was just perfect and we will definitely be back to enjoy another dinner.“
“Great food at reasonable prices. Excellent servers. Love their bread and pesto. Try the key lime cake. Super moist mahi. I miss the sautéed spinich and the "old" style ahi appetizer.Parking: Wide open parking...if you don't mind walking a bit. Right in front can get fairly crowded.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kids menu.“
“i got so excited when i found out there was a dumpling spot close by, but was dismayed when i saw some less than stellar reviews. i didn’t let these sway me from trying it out for myself, however, and thank god i didn’t. we had the black truffle and pork soup dumplings, fried wontons, orange, and shrimp in fruit sauce, and everything far exceeded our expectations. the fruit shrimp was my order, and it was one of the most unique flavor profiles i’ve ever had. in addition to this, the restaurant is in fine condition and the location is beautiful. we were lucky enough to go on one of the first warm days in the year, and got to sit on the back patio on the river.“
“This is a fun menu and unique restaurant vibe. There always is a buzz on a weekend night at this location. The food is fresh and flavorful. The only item across the menu that I don't rave about is the chicken fried rice which can easily be fixed with drizzle of sriracha or chili oil to add flavor to the otherwise bland dish. The restaurant is often busy, so take out is what I do often and recommend to others who are nearby.“
“I ordered the bourbon chicken, extra sauce and fried rice. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion and the extra vegetables. The portion was big enough for 2 people; good price; it was fast, friendly service and the food was delicious! I will be a repeat customer.“
Seafood • $$
“I'm pleasantly surprised. I grew up on the East Coast so I'm used to cooking boils at home. I'm also particular about ordering seafood for dinner in a land locked state. We went on a whim last Saturday. We shared the Lb Shrimp Boil, Crafty seasoning. Shrimp were large and 'fresh' (as can be expected and not freezer burnt), seasoning was a good flavor. Overall, I was really pleased! I'll go here next time I want a boil and don't have it in me to cook.“
“I thought the menu could've used a few more fish options, but that's just me. I had the shrimp basket. It wasn't bad, I did eat it all. Person I was with got a mixed bag of seafood, potatoes, corn, and sausage. He didn't complain. Overall, not a bad experience.“
“I was out and about about and my pregnant wife sent me a text: “I want a gyro, Indian food and Chinese food all at once”Suddenly I was on a quest to visit 3 separate restaurants in short amount of time to fulfill her request. I got it all done, but the reason why I am writing this review is because my wife and I were both blow away by the food from RAVIS! This was our first time and the food is excellent, just the right amount of spice in the Tikka Masala and the naan was also very good. I ordered ahead online via FoodHub and my order was ready when I arrived - no issues there. Restaurant was cozy and the staff was very pleasant. Can’t wait to try this place again!“
“This is a high -end restaurant. Sitting along the waterfront on the Ohio River, in Newport KY. With a river view. In door & Out- door seating in the warmer weather. I take my family here on Birthday's. The food and service is fantastic. It's very expensive, food and service is worth every penny. Dan was our server,the last two times we were there. I highly recommend the two lobster tails with mixed vegetables with a side of asparagus. And the king crab legs. My wife had a filet mignon and it melted in your mouth. Sorry I did take pictures of the food. I will next time is awesome. It comes and we eat lol. Pictures are from my mom's dad and sister's Birthday's. My mom's was 2023 Dec 31st new Year Eve. They only served off a special menu that night. We couldn't get king crab legs. FYI“
“Took my boyfriend & his 14 year old son here for my boyfriend's 33rd birthday!! It was just as wonderful as I remembered it. They were short staffed this day & only had one waitress for the whole dining room. Still an awesome experience, good times & good food with some great people.“
“We had a wonderful, private dinner event at Carlo & Johnny last weekend. There were 11 of us in our party and most of us had never been to C&J before (we live in Hyde Park and typically frequent the Precinct and Ruby’s locations). We loved our first experience at C&J. This historic property was beautiful and well-appointed, the service was top notch, and as always, the steaks were terrific and the wine list was extensive! It was a great evening in the burbs!“
