“Outstanding in every way. Stopped in for a much-needed meal on the high route from Nashville to Philly.. could not have been more impressed with both food and service. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while.. everything was superb.“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“The service is phenomenal, the steak and seafood are the best we have ever had. Most importantly Jordan, one of the managers, always makes us feel special and appreciated as a frequent diner.“

“Wonderful service and wonderful food! Kevin was awesome!“

“A very nice experience eating out. The food that we had there was very good but I will say that the wine that was suggested to us for our meal was not a great match. We also had a little bit of trouble when the waitress did not come to check on us for sometimes long periods of time. The restaurant and the experience were very nice and I think a lot of people would like this place.Parking: There is a parking lot where you can park yourself if just a little bit further away. The majority of the use of the parking lot that is close to the restaurant is valet parking so this is really nice if you are going with someone that is walking impaired or has trouble walking.“

“Food was great! Chicken very juicy and tender. Atmosphere was great Noise level was great, able to carry on a conversation and be heard. I took my friend there for lunch to celebrate her birthday Our waitress was awesome, very attentive and was just wonderful with us. Very enjoyable lunch!“

“Great and friendly place to eat, fast service also. Definitely a great date night spot.“

“Homey atmosphere, old time reliable bar, outdoor seating, decent food, friendly people. Fishing in the lake, not allowed. Locals pronounce it "Lake Nine-ah"...“

“Excellent experience overall! From our waiter Randel, to the entire waitstaff, our dining experience was terrific. Nothing was overlooked, we had everything we needed when we needed it. I don't know how it could have been any better! We'll be going back soon. THANKS!“

“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.“

“It’s been a looooong time since everything I’ve ordered at a restaurant was perfect. Mussels were the best I’ve EVER had. Queso was sublime. I was stuffed by the time our entrees arrived but I kept eating because it was the f$&king bomb. I had the New York strip and it was perfect. We don’t normally visit the same restaurant twice since there are so many options in SW Ohio but we just might have to come back to this one. And the service was impeccable as well btw.“

“Service was better than most restaurants these days. Food and drinks delivered timely. I love taking a tour of the menu - we shared tuna poke, then a couple awesome sushi rolls, then back to the apps for sticky ribs and potstickers. Finished it off with the Baileys dessert. Wonderful food and priced appropriately (except for the potstickers which were a little pricey).“

“I was starving and came in with some girlfriends, Was served by a tall, pretty brown, haired woman, I missed her name but she had an infectious laugh. The food was great, service was really good, will be back!“

“This place is the most authentic sichuan-style chinese food I've found on the east coast. Wow. Really amazing. My partner and I come here often to get our fill. Definitely check it out. Right next to the university, but completely worth the drive out (or walk across the street). Owner is very nice and inviting. They get busy during dinner time on Fridays/Saturdays. Be patient. This place is worth it!“

“My first time having this and it was pretty great the orange chicken was delicious and had an amazing citrus aftertaste, the cheese wontons and eggrolls are to die for, probably they best I ever had, the fried rice was a little dry but still tasted great! Will definitely be coming back“

“Love it love it. Love it. Old school, fried fish and french fries. Just the basics but really well done. Several different selections of fish. And the staff look like they really know what they're doing and love their jobs. I love a place that's got it all together.“

“Nice restaurant with a great service!“

“great service food was on point I will definitely be back“

“I just got rid of my long term Herpes disease. I’ve been diagnosed with the Herpes disease for 3 years, but I was recently cured from it completely with the herbs medicine prepared by Dr Okjas. I’m so excited. There’s truly a cure to Herpes Virus. Thank you ? Lord. kindly contact him now and have your health back. Thank you sir once again. Good luck.. here is the doctor’s Facebook herbal page:“

“We’re here from the South and the smell alone takes you back to southern cuisine! Great place!“

“consistently delicious and fresh some of the best food in Cincinnati, hands-down 10 out of 10 highly recommend.“

“We went here because was close to the hospital. Used to go to olive garden. Never again. Carrabbas is top notch from top down!“

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

“Best sushi ever, hands down!“

“We drove down to Cincinnati just to try out this restaurant. Unfortunately, we arrived 10 mins before they closed due to heavy traffic , I literally was only there maybe 15 mins, and all I have to say is that their customer service is outstanding I spoke to a young lady name, Honesty , I absolutely loved her she was so sweet and so kind VERY helpful ❤️ me and my family will definitely be back to dine at this restaurant simply because I just love their customer service they truly treat you like family.“

“Great customer service. and fresh , hot fish, chicken, shrimp and don't forget the Chicago style sandwiches. If you make them a combo you get fries and a drink. If you want to feed the family or having a party get your family meals of fish or chicken all topped off with lemon pepper.“

“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?“

“My experience was wonderful . Yolanda was my server . When I came in she greeted me with a smile , the music was playing and the building was packed.I got a blue margarita and it was delicious and refreshing ! I had the stuffed lobster with shrimp for 2 it came with French fries and salad and rice! Very feeling ! I would definitely recommend.“

“Fresh and Delicious! I had Catfish and just WOW! Perfect cooking!“

“Customer service was great and food was fresh and hot“

“I have nothing but good things to say about BoneFish Grill Hyde Park! My family of probably 30 and I came in yesterday (Sunday April 21st) for our 87 year old elder, and had a great time. The service/staff was phenomenal! They all smiled, took pictures for us and got all orders right can you believe it! The food was as always excellent for some reason. Lol Great job Hyde Park! I’d hate to bring that many people again on you, but if there’s a place that can accommodate parties, this is it.“

“great food and the service was amazing“

“well cuzs UT has all the special Cajuan seafood food n the best Cajun place in town“

“The fried fish was so yummy and mouth watering, just an out of this world experience for me. We brought fried catfish and they were just excellent. I fell in love with the fried fish burger with tomatoes, onions. The only downside was that the fries were quite soft not the traditional crispy ones we would expect but I don't have that much to say against it. I plan to go there again since I just cannot help it....Thanks,Saikat“

“I found a delicious place for fish. It's carry-out only and so worth it. The pricing was reasonable and the quality and quantity of food is great. Ordered the tilapia. It was deliciously seasoned and cooked. I have enough for another meal. It was still steamy by the time I returned home. Employees were friendly, including the other waiting customer. Pleasant experience! Thanks for making lunch!“

“This was the best Indian food I've ever had!! And it's because they're unique. Their food won't taste like the usual Indian place. Some folk give 1 star cuz it's not what they like, but I'll be coming back again and again!! Definitely recommend chicken Korma and chicken 65.Their chicken is so tender! Idk how they do it.Warning: Their food is always a least a bit spicy. Lowest they go seems to be like a spicy level 2 or 3 at other places.Atmosphere and service makes it feel like you're there to relax. The slower pacing (but not slow!) makes me feel like I'm eating at somebody's home, not a restaurant. Some folk give 1 star cuz they want the hyper-speed of US culture. This place is an oasis of a slower, more humble culture.I'm so glad Ravi's took the risk and did something unique, rather than pandering to the masses!! Perhaps I'll start looking at other 3~4 star rated places to find the best food.PS - Haywards 5000 is one of the best beers I've ever had too. And I've had a lot.“

“Nice place to pick up some hibachi on the go. Meal was good, even the pickiest of my kids enjoyed it. You order what you like, no surprises. A little pricy for take out, but portions are huge. Definitely sharable if you can agree on the meal!“

“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.“

“Great food and great atmosphere“

“Service was terrific and very attentive! We had the filet mignon, whipped potatoes, French onion soup and Chilean sea bass, and they were so tasty and well worth the price! We were visiting from the Chicago area, and I would highly recommend this place inside the Hard Rock Cincinnati!“

“We had New Years Eve dinner at Reeftop. It was amazing! The service was perfect and the food was incredible. We love this place and really appreciated the extra attention they placed on this special meal!“

“Went there for date night and Katie and Kenny took great care of us. Definitely ask for them! Their hospitality is amazing!!! The food and drinks were beyond amazing!!!“

“Great place to catch crabs“

“fresh food very courteous short wait time“

“I love this restaurant!! The food is outstanding. My family and I have NEVER had a bad meal there. The waiters are fantastic and we are always shocked at how fast our food arrives. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Cincinnati!“

“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.“

“Grest food, Great hospitality… Fast service“

“We always like this place, but thiscwas the first timecmy wife tried the steak. She loved it and said its comparable to Ruby's. I got the ribs, and they were decent. I'm pretty particular on those, so I'd have preferred some of the sauce baked and caramelized a bit rather than just slop it on after cooking. Still good, though.Overall, a good night. It always is.“
