“Most memorable and tasty meal we have had in Cincinnati. Absolutely delicious shrimp entree. Shareable style. Sought after reservations and limited walk in availability. Great for groups to be able to split more food options. Paid for parking lots nearby.“

“Been to Ripple a few times now and it is always very good. Good food, service, and vibe.I've had the salmon entree, the stuffed poblano peppers, the perogies, and the Sicilian flat bread and each has been delicious.Definitely recommend going.“

“Fantastic experience! A true gem in the Cincinnati culinary community. Highly recommend!“

“Nice spot in a repurposed industrial building. Plenty of space. Friendly staff. Their flights are 3 - 8 Oz pours, but reasonably priced. Food is available. A wide variety of drinks from beer to mixed drinks. Only open 2 days of the week right now (Fri & Sat). Could be a nice place to chill.“

“Always a great time. As usual Aaron and David were curating a marvelous experience. The new spring menu is terrific and the new version of the short rib is simply out of this world! Alyssa provided a perfect experience with the courses brilliantly timed. Thank You!“

“The food was wonderful and it was a perfect day the enjoy the food on the outdoor patio.“

“Loved our dining experience at Bouqet. Our server Ella was great! We tried the focaccia bread (delicious) and the cheese plate to start. Loved the pickled options. We also tried the steak, meatballs, and salmon. All were so good. The only reason I didn't give full 5 stars due to the noise level from a neighboring table. They were even nice enough to provide a complimentary dessert to apologize for the table's rowdiness. Would definitely recommend and return!“

“If you haven't been here then you're missing out. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the entire staff is spirited about your experience and the drinks they're making. I genuinely disliked gin before I tried this place out, and after a crash course and tasting different types, I now confidently order gin cocktails knowing I'm going to enjoy them. They have a great selection of small plates that are always delicious. Both menus rotate frequently, so I rarely find myself getting the same thing. The bands they host are always excellent and the volume never bothers me. Although not advertised, they also do a discounted menu on Wednesdays!The food is served tapas style, in small portions, often with international flavors. If I'm going for a full dinner, I usually order 3 items or sharing 4-5 plates with another person - which is like half the menu. The Caesar salad is a menu staple and my favorite in the whole city. Whatever meatballs that they have are always good, too.Not only is this a great date-night place, it's a great spot for large groups, too. The owners were very accommodating for the larger parties I've hosted and it's plenty of space for other larger parties that I've attended. On a few occasions, I've witnessed a couple small birthday parties at the same time as there have a band playing, and it didn't feel crowded.Vegetarian options: There are usually vegetarian options on the menu, and occasionally vegan options. Because of the international focus, their vegetarian options have more complex flavors and sustenance than your alternative bars/restaurants with 'vegetarian' options, like salad or pasta with veggies.“

“Always a vibe , mid day or at night or trivia on Wednesday. An Aperol is my go to but the cocktails are amazing. Make sure to grab some food. The fire pits and the TVs outside are great for baseball and football season. Be sure to add this on your list. It doesn’t disappoint.“

“Please come try this place! The husband and wife team took over the old Ludlow bank and turned it into a food mecca. The Spanish tapas menu allows you to try several small bites and the flavors are amazing. The wine menu is wonderful. And the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in a small cafe in Spain. The great thing is - it’s just off the I-75 Fifth St exit - a skip and a jump over the bridge.“

“This is my second time coming to Yuca for brunch. I love how bright it is inside! I came in around 10 am and there was no wait time. I ordered the Fajita Greens, which I didn't have high expectations for because well salads for brunch is not my go to. The server asked me how I wanted my steak, and I was pleasantly surprised (Usually restaurants just have a default for the steak in a salad). The salad itself was great! The tortilla strips gave a nice crunch; the dressing was light and flavorful; and the steak was nicely cooked. I paired it with a mimosa. (You can also choose to get just a bottle of Prosecco with juice for $30). I was left feeling full, but not overly full where I would need a nap. On Sundays, the restaurant hands out flowers to the females! This is a nice little touch. If you like tequila, they have a vault, which opens up and you can see the tequila they have. It's a solid brunch in my opinion.“
