“We haven't had such a fantastic experience in a restaurant in so long, I forgot what it feels like. We were promptly seated by the hostess, and she was friendly. Our waitress was great and was very polite and attentive. I'll never get tired of having a refill for my drink set down in front of me before I have to ask. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the decor. I was glad we were almost finished when they sat a couple at the table next to ours, because it is a little close and you're right in each other's conversation. I got the salmon bruschetta to start, and it was so good. Everything tasted so fresh, and the flavors blend beautifully. My girlfriend got the French onion soup, and that looked amazing. She said it tasted really good. We both ordered the filet mignon, and she wanted hers medium rare, and I wanted mine cooked medium. While both steaks were excellent, neither one was cooked as requested, and both were pretty rare. I'm going to let that slide, since everything else was so good. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is so damn good, I want the recipe. It's very creamy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were excellent and I could eat a bowl of just that. We will definitely be back, and totally understand all the accolades now. Two thumbs up.“
“This place is a gem! I'm glad I found one of my favorite places to get food and a drink. I had the hamburger which was simple and delicious. Had just the right seasoning and toppings. I also had to get a small order of the sesame noodles. Those noddles are a must. If I was bold enough I probably would have gone to the kitchen and shook the cook/ chef hand. The service was outstanding. The bartender was friendly and welcoming. I loved that the menu was small. I will definitely be going back to try some more of this simple and delicious food.“
“It was a little rocky at first. We were sat at a booth on the patio and even though the covers were on, it didn't stop that wind from biting.Luckily for us, we had a waiter that understood and he was able to move us to another table in his section.I gave 5 stars based on the service. We had an overall good experience. ?Vegetarian options: Bang bang taco and a few others.“
“Any time I go to a different taco place that offers the double shells and overstuffed goodness I’m always comparing it to Agave and Rye… because nothing can beat them! The food is delicious and tacos are huge! You can easily get full on just one or two of them. Good drinks and apps as well!“
“Such a cute bar! I love the Shining theme during the majority of the year and the fact that they play 80s horror movies on the TV's, plus the drinks are all themed. The Christmas pop-up is also super cute, and even has "snow" that falls from the ceiling! But buy your tickets super early, they sell out every year!“
“Our experience from the moment we walked in was fabulous. Our bartender was delightful and friendly. Our server, Parker, knew the menu well and was able to describe the specials and regular menu items. Service was fast, friendly, but not rushed in any way. My friend got the salmon and I had the fish special of the day. The special was elegant, flavorful and beautifully presented on the plate. It had been a while since I'd been here and now I remember, once again, why I love this restaurant so much.“
“OMG. When I'm telling you to run, not walk, to this spot, I mean it. Every single bite was so yummy, and I was sad when it was all gone. The staff was soooo warm and inviting. We were there when it was a weird time, so it wasn't too busy, but I bet at normal lunch and dinner times this place is poppin. If it's not, it absolutely should be.“
“Thank you NG and Fermentorium staff for making our wedding a memorable one. From the venue, staff, beer, tiki drinks, dinner and donuts, it all exceeded our expectations! Megan- thank you for working with me and making our night was perfect!“
“Absolutely amazing. Our server Brennan was fantastic, had great recommendations and gave impeccable service, the hostess was a great photographer as well. ? But my goodness the food!! We enjoyed the filets, cooked perfected. The sear was to die for, we always enjoyed the crab cakes. I felt like I died and went to heaven. One of the most enjoyable meals, service, ambiance and food were amazing.“
“My husband threw me a surprise birthday party at Tillie’s and it could not have been more perfect! We had the entire back area to ourselves, but also had karaoke with the lovely Phaedra in the front to enjoy with other patrons. I love the space in the back, it’s intimate, but still open to enjoy the entire bar. I don’t drink, so Jordan the bartender made me a delicious mocktail to enjoy. Jordan was personable, attentive, and just a genuinely kind guy. My husband even worked with Nigel to have a playlist running all night of my favorite genre of songs. Tillie’s is perfect for any occasion, a fun random night out or a planned event like this. I felt so special and attended to. Thanks Tillie’s for a perfect night!“
“Stellar cocktails and top notch service! Our bartender was knowledgeable and helpful guiding us to cocktails our entire party would enjoy. We ordered a pizza to accompany our drinks and it exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Cincinnati!“
“One of my favorite bars in the area! I loved the dim lighting and comfortable seating. They had plenty of space and the service was great! We got the charcuterie board which was cheap/pretty tasty. Definitely recommend for a chill night out.“
“Cozy inside space and large chill outside patio. Great cocktails and beer selection. We enjoyed the hummus plate, a flavorful burger, tofu fried rice, and grilled cheese with tomato bisque. All dishes were delicious. Service was great. Don’t forget the bathroom decor!“
“Love this place. Best karaoke nights Sunday and Thursday ever!!!! There is no limit to which song u can sing and every song matches up with the words. Best environment. Great prices on drinks good people of all sorts. Great bon fires and great conversations about the nerdiest stuff. Sometimes there's a table that plays cards against humanity outside all night. Sometimes someone brings a mini pool table. Great dance party on weekends. Needs more events here Fashow“
“I've been here a lot and have always had a good experience. They have a good variety of coffee and non-coffee options for drinks. Outside of pastries and snacks, I wouldn't really recommend coming here for food; it's not bad, but mediocre and overpriced, so it's probably worth grabbing something at one of the many restaurants nearby and then heading in to Sitwell's for a refreshing drink.Usually I have a pretty good experience with the people working there; I have had one time where the cashier was a bit rude but not to a severe degree, she was probably just having a bad day, but I understand that that does deter customers who have not been there before.The atmosphere is amazing. They have art completely covering the walls that they cycle through every few months. There are trivial pursuit cards on all the tables that my fiance and I love to go through when we are there to hang out.Parking: There is some paid street parking around the corner but sometimes it's packed and you have to drive a while to find a spot. If you don't mind walking, there are plenty of streets in the Gaslight district that are free to park on, but again it will probably take a while to find a spot.“
“Wow! How amazing is this team!?! Thank you so much Thomas for the spectacular pizza flipping skills..my 7 year old thinks you are just the coolest! Dave and Tim, you both were so awesome and made us feel so welcome here! What a fun and engaging crew! We will definitely be back ✌️“
“From the moment we walked in, the inviting atmosphere and the promise of Asian comfort food set a high bar that was met and exceeded, particularly with their delicious pad thai noodles and the irresistibly creamy crab Rangoon. The sushi selection, boasting fresh ingredients and innovative flavors, was a standout, showcasing the skilled chefs' dedication to the art of food. What truly made our visit exceptional was the service provided by Isaiah; his attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond made our dining experience feel personal and special. Their commitment to creating delicious memories is evident not just in the food but in their approach to hospitality.“
“When I arrived the very first time, everyone was nice. Smiles and hi's. I introduced myself and the guy I spoke with was very nice and found out we liked had a lot in common. Found out later he was the owner. U may think he did that for business, but he was genuine. The place is always open, and I made a lot of friends there. I want to move back here just to visit as much as possible. Sincerely, Larry Straub“

“Element Eatery has quickly become our go-to food hall destination in Cincinnati. I've tried many of the stalls already and it's hard to pick a favorite. I enjoy having so many options to choose from and usually go with whatever I'm in the mood for.Little Easy brands itself as a Po'Boy Shop and it features a variety of po'boys along with other creole options. The half po'boy is still a massive sandwich! I enjoyed the buttermilk brined and fried chicken topped with sriracha aioli, pickled ginger, and cilantro on New Orleans Leidenheimer po'boy bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickle ($9.95). Also, do not skip out on the chicken and sausage gumbo served over rice ($6 for a cup). This is an authentic dish that will bring your taste buds straight to Louisiana.“
“I had an early dinner with my friend for her 40th birthday and we had a great time. The waiter provided great service and was super friendly. We had 4 cocktails from the drink menu and loved them all. We also had some appetizers, sushi, spicy noodles and a salmon dish and enjoyed every dish! We were glad we chose Rosewood to celebrate her birthday and plan on visiting again.“
“Bugatti had some really good food and decent music. We were there from 7p-9p. I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini. My wife had the shrimp Cajun Alfredo with a side 6 cheese Mac. We both also ordered some blue punch that got us right. Everything was very well seasoned and the Mac n cheese was cheesy. The portions pretty much matched the price. We chose to sit at the bar to eat because it was more comfortable than the tables at the front. Keisha was our server, she def looked out for us. We would go back and try some other items and maybe order a hookah.“
