The 47 best cooking classes in Cincinnati

The Tablespoon crew were great hosts for my marketing team retreat. We made a delicious 3 course meal. The team was super accommodating and diligent with all of team members allergies and food sensitivities. They made it easy to follow along with overhead tv screens with live tutorials, and Tablespoon team members assisting us along the way. It was a great team bonding experience with lots of laughs, great memories and yummy food! Would totally recommend for big groups. Thanks again Tablespoon team :)

Awesome date night! We attended the gnocchi with truffle parmesan sauce class on Saturday, 11/16 and had the best time with friends. The staff was extraordinarily kind, the chef was a great host & educator, the space is warm and inviting, and the high quality ingredients made for a delicious meal. I can’t recommend highly enough and we look forward to attending another class in the future,

My fiance and I attended the Meditation Salmon cooking class to celebrate his birthday. We had an amazing dinner and experience! I can’t say enough good things. The staff was friendly, personable and attentive. The cooking process was a breeze and very enjoyable cooking from scratch (dressings, sauces, etc) and got to cook with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables! Dinner was delicious. We’ll definitely consider attending another class in the future!

Love this cooking class! We’ve been twice and it’s awesome. They had GF options for this class and it made all the difference for me!

A couple weeks ago, my husband and I attended the Pizza & Wine night! It was so much fun and the perfect class for two newlyweds especially ones that are not the best at cooking! It was such a fun experience and very relaxing too, no pressure! The team at Tablespoon was awesome! They made sure everyone was comfortable, having a good time, not to mention really good in the kitchen giving great tips, advice and constant kudos along the way! If you are looking for a fun date night or a great night out with a friend or family member, look no further! Book a class asap!

My husband & I attended our 1st cooking class here and I can promise you it won't be our last & if we can get our friends and family to join in the fun it will be even better! From the moment you walk in you feel like you're being welcomed in to someone kitchen. The employees are friendly and welcoming - but they also KNOW THEIR STUFF! The experience was great - the food we made was wonderful and the people were fantastic! Keep up the great work Tablespoon Cooking Co.

This was our first time and we will be back. It was such a fun evening. They make it very simple to cook a great meal. Many things are prepped for you. You learn great tips especially as a beginner! We went with friends so we were able to work at the same table and share a meal afterwards. They also have a large drink selection and you are able to purchase some things we used during class. There is very easy parking around the corner. The only negative is the classes fill up fast and I want to go to all of them 😬

The cooking class was fun and light hearted, there were lots information as well as jokes. Was very confidence inspiring. Would recommend for date night or just wanting to brush up on some skills. I would go back in a heart beat.

Chef Kate was amazing!!! We took a date night class--a Parisian dinner. Delicious!!! Kate did a great job with instructing, teaching, explaining and demonstrating technique!! Absolutely will be back!

It was best team bonding activity we could have planned for. The session was informative on numerous tips and tricks about food, cooking and nutrition. My team live to cook and the process of doing it ourselves was so enjoyable! Big shout out to chef KATE for her expertise, fun and authentic session! Highly recommended

We took a Mediterranean Cooking class, and Chef Kate was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. The meal was so amazing as well.

I had a great experience at a cooking class at Sur La Table tonight. The chef was knowledgeable and professional. The food was delicious. I would definitely do this again. My only feedback is to offer a more exclusive class where you can work in groups of 2 instead of 4 to make it more hands on.

Glenda did a great croissants class, it was really fun and we learned a lot!

We like the classses at Sur la Table- “Touring Tuscany” was the perfect class for busy families looking for an easy/fast but super flavorful meal. Chef Kate was fantastic

These are definitely a luxury dessert. They are only meant to be enjoyed for special occasions. I used to think that they were too pricey but then I used my points to attend their 3 hour cooking class so now I understand why they are so high. I will just continue to buy them because I don't have the skill set, equipment nor patience to make them myself.

We’ll definitely be making the trip down more often for these macarons. The place was so clean, very peaceful vibe, and absolutely delicious macarons with some really good flavor options. My favorite was the cereal milk and the pistachio was delicious as well!

Didnt have the chance to join the hands on making macron (though it sounds absolutely fun, I'm down to do next time) But I do enjoy the macron they made. I had a six piece macron in 14 dollars. My favorite flavor definitely goes to the Irish cream. The delicate cream taste layers on the sweetness made this little macron a lot of surprises. If your down to have some sophisticatedly pleasant afternoon dessert you must try them.

12/3/22 we attended a macaron making class with Tanisha. There were 7 of us which was perfect. All of our tops and bottoms turned out perfectly because we were instructed so well. All the ganache flavors we made were yummy too. If you’re tired of gifting ties, socks, underwear etc., try gifting an experience instead. It was so much fun and you’ll take so many home. Tanisha was great and really added to the fun.

Delicious! This cute little macaron shop is easy for slipping in and out and doesn't feel overwhelming like some bakeries can. The seasonal selection of flavors is big enough to make you crave them all and small enough to leave you hungry for the ones that will hit at other times of the year (salted caramel and strawberry milkshake are current faves). These are colorful, flaky, delicate and sweet like true macarons should be, giving you a teensy bit of Paris here in Hyde Park. What a fantastic endeavor founded by a local grad!

Everything is gluten free!! Lots of unique flavors, a few of our favorites were lemon lavender (not overpowering, just enough), salted caramel and gingerbread. They had a holiday special: $25 gets you a 12 pack, t-shirt and a $5 coupon for your next visit.

My food blogger kiddos stopped in on our trip from Cleveland. The owner was super nice to them. We LOVED these macarons! Some of the best I’ve had.

Forgot they have a world market store there. Great selection of breakfast room chairs, outdoor pillows, planters, desk chairs, lights.

Amazing place! So much fun to see, food was on point and the staff rocked.

The food was good. Service was excellent, even as busy as they were at that time. Leslie was very professional. Very busy location on a Saturday afternoon. Every employee was working together as a team. The restaurant was clean and organized throughout. Unique, historical vibe as far as a theme. Nicely incorporated through the whole restaurant.

The place was good. No waiting. Take off 4. We had s sandwich, BBQ ribs as main dishes plus onion rings as an appetizer. Onion rings were too crispy on the hard-to-bite side. The burnt end sandwich was great, so were the BBQ ribs. I recommend the place, but stay away from onion rings.

My friend and I went on June 6, 2025. We had a good server, brought the salads, fresh warm bread, but I asked for a medium cooked steak and when it was brought to our table, it was rare, still bleeding. We had to wait for a bit before the server came back to our table and as soon as she saw the steak, she commented “that is not medium” and took it away. By the time I was served the steak for the second time, it was medium rare, so I waited for the server to come around to our table and she just looked at the steak and took it. I told the server to box up the steak after it was cooked correctly for me to take home, since my friend a had finished eating his dinner. The manager did come over to talk to us and apologized for the way the steak had not been prepared as asked, and stated that I would not be charged for me meal, and I response was “ I did not get to eat my dinner.”We did not look at the food in the bag before we left the restaurant but I could see there was another salad and some bread added too. When I got home, I was still hungry and was looking forward to eating my dinner and when I opened the container the steak and potato was in, the steak was the same one that I had cut into 2 times and sent back, but they burned the steak, it was well well done. I could not eat it at all. I did eat the salad and potato. We are not from that area, but I would not go back to eat there again after sending home a burnt steak.

Parked near the entrance. There's a fairly sharp turn at the front where traffic comes in straight off the road. My mother(in her seventies) cannot walk very fast and had to wait for what felt like several minutes to cross from the parking area to the side walk despite being in the crosswalk in front of bucca di bepos. Felt pretty unsafe. Cannot say this was entirely because of the drivers either, just poor design.

We ate at J Alexander's (Redland Grille) on my bday and what a away to eat for ur bday. Food was soooo good I didn't want to stop lol. My husband got the full rack ribs, tender tasty flavorful with the best mac and cheese and the biggest loaded baked potato. I git the Bayou pasta (shrimp, scallops and real authentic crab meat it was to die for. Their side salad is so large u can share. Prices r very reasonable. Please try this place u will not be disappointed!!!

So much fun! Learned a lot about cakes, how to store them, icing, (super delish by the way 😉) got to try different techniques with icing a cake, AND you get to take home the cake you decorate as well as the utensils we were given to use ! I can't wait to make a cake and decorate for my family and friends 😌

Needed a cake topper. They delivered. Lots of options and 24 hour turn-around. Very reasonably priced. Easy to apply. Grand-daughter loved it. Thank you! ….Obviously.…I’m not a cake decorator….even so, my grand-daughter loves my cakes…

Found this place on Groupon. My cake lady retired so I thought I’d give it a try. My daughter and I had good time decorating our cakes. Instructor was very nice and patient. Added bonus the cake taste good good! Would definitely recommend! Thinking about going back to make my own birthday cake.

Went in for bags and cookie boxes for Christmas gifts. They had a great selection. Prices were quite reasonable. My next visit had me shopping for cookie cutters. The staff was quite helpful in assisting me in finding what I needed to celebrate my grandson and his gymnastics team!

I loved this store sooo much !!! It’s so cute and has a large variety to choose from. Not to mention the lady working the draw was very nice and helped me find everything I was looking for. She was very patient and knew what she was taking about.

I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works here is so friendly and nice. Answers your questions if you have any. They are one of the only cake supply store left in the city beside Michaels (which has limited supplies).

This place is my favorite place to get my baking needs, boxes, icing, decor, etc. I also took a class here it was so fun

We came for Date night, made reservations for 9:30pm. Sat in the bar area, wished it was away from where the waiters have to walk through from kitchen to dining room. This place is nice and have a lot of decor. I order my steak to be well done no pink but had to send it back to be cooked more/longer. Drinks are great. Waiter was great and attentive. Overall experience for my 1st time was good.

My wife and I don’t usually spend this kind of money, but we came here for our anniversary and were blown away. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable and the quality of the ingredients were very evident. The homemade Mac and Cheese was unreal and the steak and lobster were wonderful. I really enjoyed the old fashioned and my wife loved her mocktail. This is a fantastic spot for a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!

A business partner came in town and he was excited to get back to The Precinct. It was a great night of fantastic food and phenomenal service. We were seated right away and started off with two orders of the Jumbo shrimp. The raw bar is one of the best things this restaurant offers, don't skip it. Our steaks were delivered to perfection and the Lobster Mac n Cheese is a must!! We were surprised with a dessert delivered to us which was called in by a friend that knew we were dining there. Again, delicious and we were extremely happy and full!!

This was our first visit to this restaurant. Due to location, valet is the only convenient parking option. The history and architecture of this building is awe-inspiring. The interior design is inviting and perfect for groups, families, & couples. The chandeliers, stained glass windows and the red velvet-lined booths, bring class to this former Cincinnati Police Precinct building. The service is top-notch. Servers are dressed in suit and tie, and they are very knowledgeable as would be expected in such a fine dining restaurant. The food is amazing. You will not find a better selection of steaks in the area. Jeff Ruby only offers the finest meat. The homemade bread, salads, sides, steaks and desserts are all delicious.

As high end places go this is one of the best. It also has tremendous value. The prices are better than. Some of the other places I've been, with sides included. The sea bass and waygu rib fillet was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. Restaurant set in an old brick police precinct blends history with functionality.

The crown jewel of Cincinnati steakhouses, the original and undeniably one of the best. The hatchet steak was prepared to perfection, and even as someone who isn't fond of seafood, I found the crab cake to be exceptional. Both the wedge and Greek salads were ideal accompaniments. Adding to the experience, the old-fashioned cocktail was superb, and the gold air ruby dessert—a delightful combination of mousse, chocolate cake, toffee balls, topped with raspberry cognac whipped cream and scotch caramel—was the perfect finale to a memorable birthday celebration.

Couldn't have picked a better spot in Cincinnati for my parent's 50th anniversary. The definition of Hospitality from when we exited our cars with the valet attendants to the hosts when we entered, and the team who served our party at the table. Not snobby or pretentious, the staff is very warm and personable. They engaged with our little ones, made honest recommendations on food and wine, and they made my mom and dad feel special on their special night. SUPER TIP FOR MORE WINE AND DESSERT!!! Split plate. I had no idea we could, but it is amazing. They prepare wonderful split plates. My wife and I split a steak Burrow and I ordered a separate salad. All the steaks are amazing. You cant lose. The mac and cheese is famous for a reason. The best brussel sprouts I have ever eaten. The smokiness, the mouth feel, the flavor. Best part was they weren't dry and overcooked. Perfection. The butter pie was so good. I'm glad for the split plate. Easy to see why this place has so much history and success. The steak delivered that signature char flavor, the people and rooms create a wonderful experience, and the history is literally on every wall. Dont forget split plates, brussel sprouts, and butter pie!!

After hearing some really good things about this place from locals I made reservations to stop in for dinner and give it a try. I didn’t know what to expect, thus didn’t know it was underground (Sotto means “Under” in Italian). It’s incredibly cozy, intimate, and dark down there with all tables having long candle sticks on them and various tea lights and candles all over to provide ambient lighting. The menu is filled with shareable items, especially a nice list of starters. Their pastas are all made fresh, in-house and have vibrant flavors, with their short rib filled pasta being incredible. Their fire roasted quail was seasoned nicely and cooker perfectly. Branzino is a nice, shareable size and done well too. Save room for dessert, their ricotta donuts were tender and came with some tasty sauces to dip them in. Service was decent, but could be a little more attentive and friendly. I get the feeling they are very popular and busy and know it, so you get what service they deliver. Would I come back? Definitely!

went for a birthday and it was amazing! the burrata was without a doubt the best appetizer i’ve ever had, and the octopus wasn’t far behind. the cappelacci was amazing, a little overhyped it seems but don’t let that statement fool you, it’s still a 5 star dish and absolutely worth ordering. the quail and branzino were both seasoned well and had a very nice spiciness to them. on top of that, ordered a panna cotta for dessert and they took the dessert off the bill for the birthday! zach our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable as well. would recommend to anyone!

We had an incredible experience at Sotto in Cincinnati! Miss Jordan took great care of us — she got us seated so quickly and made the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. The food was top-notch from start to finish — especially the chicken liver mousse (rich, silky, and perfectly balanced) and those donuts… absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town.

Wow! My spouse and I went for my birthday. Our server Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and we had exceptional service the entire duration of our meal. The goat cheese bread was an excellent appetizer. I ordered the cappellacci and my husband ordered the tagliatelle con porcini, both phenomenal dishes with just the right amount of flavor. We also ordered the pork loin with the potatoes. These will not disappoint! They have options of many drinks, I ordered the Italian stallion, Absolutely delicious and my husband got a non alcoholic beverage, can't remember off the top of my head. Although we didn't have room for dessert I was pleasantly surprised with a delicious donut in salted caramel sauce. The perfect end to a perfect meal I HIGHLY recommend this amazing experience, especially for a romantic evening! Would definitely return!! Thank you for an amazing dinner 💜💜

Great place for Italian food in downtown Cincinnati. Everything was very delicious. Wood fired branzino was awesome in particular. You can’t go wrong with the goat cheese and hazelnut appetizer also. Fantastic presentation with the asparagus as well. Highly recommended you come here.

The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere in the underground restaurant with an open kitchen and sunken wine cellar was so cool!! The staff was all attentive and double checked with the kitchen when unsure about possible issues with my food allergy and found alternatives for me. They had a great wine list and lots of cocktail and NA options. I definitely recommend having a reservation.

Here’s your polished, professional-quality version of your Sotto review — keeping all your original observations and enthusiasm while refining flow, grammar, and tone. It reads smoothly and naturally for a Google or Yelp post: While visiting Cincinnati, Sotto quickly came up as a must-try spot and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. With a few last-minute calls, we managed to get a dinner reservation, and from the moment we arrived, the experience impressed. Descending the stairs and stepping through a door that feels pulled straight from an old Italian cottage, you’re immediately immersed in a warm, intimate atmosphere. The glow of real candlelight, the rich wood tones, and the cozy layout make Sotto feel timeless. Our server, Paxton, was fantastic attentive, personable, and great at walking us through the menu and making thoughtful recommendations. We started with the Black Kale Caesar, Fettunta, and Oil-Packed Tuna. Each dish was delicious the Caesar had crisp greens with a perfectly balanced dressing and crunchy breadcrumbs, while the tuna served with an egg over toasted bread was a standout. For mains, we ordered the Scottadito (Lamb Rack), Porterhouse, and Pappardelle al Cinghiale, along with sides of Broccolini, Patate, and Asparagus. Everything was incredible. The lamb was so tender and flavorful that it actually changed the mind of someone in our group who thought they didn’t like lamb it was that good. The Porterhouse, sliced and cooked to a perfect medium-rare, was tender and satisfying. The house-made pasta (you can actually see it being prepared in the back) was perfectly al dente, with a delicate sauce that let the wild boar shine. Of the sides, the Broccolini was the least exciting not bad by any means but the Asparagus with Ricotta Salata was flavorful, and the Patate (fingerling potatoes in a salsa verde) completely won me over. I’m still thinking about how to recreate them at home. For dessert, we shared the Dolce (Ricotta Doughnuts), Chocolate Budino, Sorbetti, and Panna Cotta. The Dolce is a highly recommended favorite and was quite good, though not my personal top pick. The Sorbetti was light and refreshing, but the Panna Cotta stole the show delicate, creamy, and beautifully paired with a berry compote. From start to finish, the meal and experience were wonderful. I’ll definitely return and bring friends next time I’m in Cincinnati.

My family raved about The Eagle OTR, so the next time we were in town, they took me to try the fried chicken. I ordered the BBQ Pork Burnt Ends as an appetizer and two pieces of chicken with collard greens as my side. First, the burnt ends were tasty. The sauce was sweet and enhanced the flavor of the meat. When my dinner came, I started with the side dish, as I always do. If a restaurant takes the time to create delicious side dishes, you know the main course is going to be great as well. My collard greens were good, but a bit under-seasoned for my tastebuds. I would have preferred more pepper, but I can't ding the rating over a personal preference. The chicken itself was underwhelming. I give it a 3.5 rating while the appetizer and side dish were a solid 4.0. The service was good despite the place being packed with more guests waiting outside. All in all, The Eagle is a nice place to enjoy a meal.

We relocated from Houston to Ohio for work, and The Eagle OTR was highly recommended by a colleague. As a disclaimer I’m from Houston and am accustomed to having a plethora of dining options, of which all are delicious. I ordered collard greens, mac and cheese and of course fried chicken as the menu was limited in protein options. The greens were underwhelming and lacked seasoning and spice. The cheese used for the mac and cheese was far too strong for mac and cheese and needed smoked gouda to balance the flavor of the dish. The fried chicken was under seasoned but fried to perfection. The spoon bread was the star of the show. The atmosphere was welcoming and very chill. The drinks were strong and our server was attentive and friendly. It’s a good place to have a southern meal if you don’t know any better. I was raised on real southern cuisine so for me it didn’t meet the mark

Nice historic looking place with good service. I was told the hot honey chicken was a must so thats what I ordered. Honestly it was pretty average. The hot honey did make it better but it was just okay to me.

Honestly a banger. I had: Mac and cheese Fried chicken sandwich (ask for extra pickles) Blackberry lemonade It was perfect for two people. This place CRUSHES everything. The chicken? Brined, juicy, double dredged, then fried. Ask for EXTRA house made pickles, they're heavenly The mac and cheese? It's genuinely the best. They use garlic bread breadcrumbs on top and the flavor layering is exceptional. The blackberry lemonade? PERFECT TART LEMONADE! You can taste the lemons not just essential oils with berry syrup.

After many recommendations to come here, I finally was able to grab some lunch while in town this week. I was not disappointed! Looking over the menu, I had my reservations about the "worlds beat fried chicken" claim. And although I may not agree (just yet), I can see why some may feel this sentiment! I ordered the pork belly burnt ends as an appetizer, shrimp and grits and the half chicken order. Pork belly burnt ends 3/5 - tender chunks of pork belly smothered in a tangy bbq sauce and served with ranch. These were decent size bites of pork belly. Coming from Texas (BEST BBQ IN THE WORLD) I was expecting more of a grilled or smoked flavor. These may have been braised or boiled, as the pork itself didn't have much flavor and was carried by the sauce. Shrimp and Grits 3.8/5 - these were pretty good. White cheddar grits that are cooked like you would at granny's house in the south (not the creamy, fluffy, whipped fancy grits like most places). A bit runnier than my preference, but good flavor. These were topped with shrimp, Andouille sausage and a gravy that added some good contrast of flavor to the grits. Overall, very good and if they were thicker I'd move into the 4+ rating Half chicken 4.6/5 - yea... They know how to do some fried chicken! Double dredged and pressure fried to get that crispy skin but JUICY interior. Although you can see the flecks of pepper and seasoning in the coating, it isn't overly seasoned which leaves room for the honey drizzle (or drowning in my case lol). Very well prepared and cooked. Hats off to the chef(s)! Bartender (Carly) was very knowledgeable and attentive. Gave me the menu rundown since it's my first visit and shared her personal faves. Pro tip: she suggested getting the grilled cheese and adding a fried chicken Brest to it! There were a few more menu items I'd like to try, so I will definitely be back when I'm in town next month!

The chicken was by far the best! The succotash was without a doubt the best I've ever had and our server at the bar was great! Now for the bad....the bathroom was filthy with over flowing trash, the restaurant itself was extremely small and not like the one in Indianapolis where there is an abundance of room and the hostess when arriving was extremely rude! We will go back for their food but will grab and go.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in the world. The chicken, the biscuits, the sides, the drinks—literally everything is top notch delicious. I go as many times as I can when I visit Cincinnati and Charlotte!

Canr came here after having a really good recommendations from a friend and the place really lived up to the hype. Husband and I got a salad and the chicken and waffle plate. Not going to lie. Everything on the menu looked extremely delicious and extremely creative so it was hard to make a choice here. Garden Salad - Added some Grilled Chicken to the salad and it was actually quite a good one. Ingredients were all fresh and went really well together. Didn't even need to add much dressing to it. Eckerlin goetta - We ordered this on the side because its one of the must try items in Cincinnati. Quite a unique flavor and texture, but actually something I would recommend trying. The Fried Chicken went believeably well with that Waffle. No wonder it's one of the popular dishes! The biggest highlight for me was that waffle. I don't know what it was with that waffle but it was a different type of Belgian waffle which was dense and cakey with a little bit of sugary crust outside and it was so so so beautiful. I noticed that they sell some waffles to go as well and little gift bags and that ready would be a nice thing to take for home or even to give someone. Could not recommend this food more! Only reason I'm taking off a point here is the service was extremely slow. We had to call them a couple times to add something on and had to actually follow up and ask where it was. Same thing with asking for an extra waffle where they just took so long even though it was quite a simple thing to bring out.

Driest, coldest, most unwelcoming staff ever. Smiled at the bartender. Nothing. Smiled at several servers. Nothing. The hostess is so soft spoken and nonchalant she should be working back of house not with customers. And to top it off I waited 20 minutes for pretzels with beer cheese and was given stiff, crusty, disgusting mush. I live in OTR and just wanted a quick snack. I regret stopping in here.

I think it’s a cute place. I would love to go for a dine in experience. Staff was superrrrrr nice and made sauce recommendations. Chicken could have been seasoned a little more. The chicken sandwich was still good. I definitely liked the fried one better than the grilled.

Great food. Service is good enough. Sometimw great sometimes off. Atmosphere is nice, especially inside.

The music play list and mimosa flight was phenomenal. When visiting Cincy, I'll definitely come back. The waffles are unique and chicken was well seasoned and. Delicious!

The service we got here was good! But the food was disappointing. We came because the mussels gratin sounded amazing, but they were out of that, so we ended up ordering the Brussels sprouts, a Niçoise salad with tuna, and a brunch burger. Thoughts: The Brussels sprouts were pretty good but so salty, and were missing the bacon. The brunch burger was good and the waffle bun was a cute idea, but in reality it was really difficult to eat. (Plan to use a fork and knife, which isn’t a big deal.) The sad thing was the Niçoise salad. The dressing was greasy, the fingerling potatoes were missing, and most tragically- the tuna was overcooked, mealy and dry. I actually spit it out- it was too bad to even swallow. I’ve never actually had tuna this bad before. (I felt bad complaining but it was inedible.) They offered us dessert, and we got a strawberry crepe which was pretty good. So no complaints about the service- our server was really friendly and helpful. But I wouldn’t recommend, or at least I’d stear clear of the Niçoise salad completely.

The food was very tasty, but the service was extremely slow despite there being 3+ staff members and only 1 other diner. It was disappointing. Prices were so-so.

This place has meats, desserts, produce and even live plants. I recommend going early to avoid the crowd. It seemed to have a very nice traffic flow. It is indoor and outdoor. I hear the bars are very nice as well.

Findlay Market is truly one of the must-see places in Cincinnati. It perfectly captures the city’s history, culture, and community spirit all in one spot. The moment you walk in, you can feel the charm of the past blending with the energy of today — the old brick buildings, colorful vendor stands, fresh food aromas, and friendly local buzz create an amazing atmosphere. This isn’t just a market — it’s an experience. You’ll find everything from fresh produce, meats, cheeses, spices, and baked goods to flowers, coffee, and handmade crafts. The outdoor stalls and street musicians make it even more lively, especially on weekends when the place comes to life with music, food, and smiling faces. What I love most is that it supports local farmers and small businesses. Every vendor here seems genuinely passionate about what they do, and the quality of products really stands out. Prices are fair, and everything feels authentic and full of character. There are also plenty of cozy cafés and restaurants nearby, making it easy to relax with a coffee after exploring. Parking can get a bit crowded at peak times, but arriving early makes everything smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, Findlay Market is a beautiful mix of history, local flavor, and community warmth. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Cincinnati, this place is absolutely worth the stop! 🌿🧺

adorable and historical! one of my favorite spots to visit in cincy. such a variety of great food, the investment into local food and access in connecting vendors to the community is really amazing to see. if you have the means to do so, why not shop local? i haven’t gotten to try everything yet, but i love blue oven bakery every time. their focaccia is lovely!

Well if you are a foodie and in Cincinnati then it’s a MUST STOP😊🥟🤷‍♂️😉 the people are gentle and kind, music is abound on weekends and definitely stay awhile. Stay hungry my friends!

This place is incredible! They have so much variety and so many different vendors to shop at! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning and it was packed full but the lines went pretty quick. We only had to wait in a few lines for 5 minutes max. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Favorite thing to do in downtown cincinnati. I love how there’s fresh produce and meat. Make sure you park close or in Findlay market parking. OTR is not the safest area. We loved our sandwiches for lunch. Water is only free at the bar, everywhere else is 50 cents. I love all the stores, including a vintage clothing store. Such a fun place in Cincy

Love! Love! Love! Wish we lived closer. We'd shop here every week! Fabulous market with great food, drinks, vibe! We spent a whole morning here and went back the next day!

We were in Cincinnati for our anniversary and needed a nice place to dine. We have previously had poor luck finding a location with great food and great service. Reddit suggested Boca and we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, food, and service. Small plates with excellent flavor. Desert was great too. Highly recommended.

One of the best dinners I have had in a while. I've tried multiple new foods the other night, including caviar and scallops. The staff made the entire experience amazing. They explained the menu in-depth and the flavours with each dish. We ended the amazing dinner with beef Wellington and a lemon cake thing that was SUPER GOOD! The scallop and brussel sprouts are featured in the image. The ingredients were extremely fresh, and the scallop tasted like a steak.

Cincinnati has a sneaky good food scene. Boca has to be within the top echelon. Designed as a small plate restaurant you have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of flavors. "GG" our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and delivered an exquisite experience.

This is the restaurant you can always count on to have amazing service and food. We celebrated our birthdays with friends and had a delicious dinner. The audience is beautiful and food outstanding. Make sure of course to have the Pommes soufflés, they are everything they are cracked up too. This evening we tried something new to us the romanesco, it was lightly charred with an incredible sauce and bed of grains. We also had the corn elote which is the taste of summer in a plate, then shared the beef Wellington. Topping the evening off with their not only tongue in cheek catchy names but presentations of desserts.

I rarely rate any place 5 out of 5. But it's really surprised me. First they serve French Mediterranean. Which really surprised me cuz I didn't know what to expect. I sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. She made really good cocktails. She put me on something called paper plane which was really good and told me this whole story about the liquor and how it's a dessert drink in Italy. Food wise I got her recommendations. They are known for their brussel sprouts, which I wasn't the biggest fan of I thought they were just okay. Chicken was the best dish. Great recommendation definitely recommended. I love the whole vibe and the way the restaurant is set up. Huge beautiful chandelier in the middle.

Service and atmosphere was top notch. Pasta was under cooked (well below Al Dente). Heavily overpriced. Great place to wine and dine to impress. Definitely better food spots around, but if you’re chasing ambiance and trying to impress someone; this is your place

Boca is great, fine dining! I've been there a couple of times now, and twice did their chef curated menus. I've always thoroughly enjoyed all their food! The service is great and professional. It's always a lot of fun to try the new things that Chef David is creating as well as the various wines that are paired with the meals. Would highly recommend for a nice night out!

Maplewood had a pretty solid atmosphere. The food was ok, not great. Service was fast. If you are looking for a quick brunch spot it’s pretty solid. Avocado BLT: 4/5 Burger: 4/5

Walk up and order and they’ll come find you. Water station with old milk jugs to fill up for your table (brilliant). I got the Mediterranean bowl with salmon- DELICIOUS + filling but not super heavy. My mom got the avocado toast and it was really good too (can’t go too wrong with an avocado toast everrrr). The atmosphere was bright, clean and comfortable. TVs to watch if you’re there alone. Cool bar seating too!

This was an outstanding experience all around. They were very accommodating of our large group (7) and found us a great table. The food was excellent, service was outstanding, and the ambiance was perfect.

YOU CAN sell CLEAN HEALTHY food at a competitive price! Grab a menu and order at the counter, seat yourself with a number, and collect your own water as much as you need. The costs saved here helps provide higher QUALITY ingredients for the customer. Organic, cage free, grass fed, local, and locally roasted coffee... they've got it. If you're health conscious and value what you put inside your body, this is your spot. Everything I had was honestly delicious. I will be back here and I assume anything else will also be a banger. I ordered: Cappuccino (add the maple syrup from the pancakes to sweeten, it's local too) Beet and Orange juice (bottled) SIDE of Lemon ricotta pancakes - side is a stack of 2 pancakes (ask for extra compote) Chicken club sandwich Goetta This was PLENTY of food for 2 people. Everything was delicious and surpassed my expectations. Service was very friendly and polite. Don't sleep on this place. It's healthy, exceptional value, delicious, and highly instagrammable if you're into that. Just go.

I cannot believe how unique fresh and delicious are is the plate of Chiliquiles! Like in Mexico, each town, each restaurant, have their own special recipes. Que maravilloso! Halfway through before I thought to take a pic. Whoops? So good! And Triniti at the bar is always so pleasant and makes great cocktails!

This place has a cool aesthetic but for us that's where the vibes ends. Be prepared to wait in a long line to order. The food came pretty quickly but frankly was not good. It was bland. My mimosa was decent but my partners bloody mary was a little dissapointing. All in all, I would classify this spot as mid-leagues. It is not worth a repeat visit for me.

Food was delicious, and staff was very friendly. It was very busy but they cleared tables quickly. The lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious. The chopped salad was hearty and filling. The espresso martini had cinnamon on top which really put it over the top! Would highly recommend this place!!

A great place to eat when the weather is nice and you want to eat outside with a view! Their menu is unique and has some great food choices. The restaurant is a bit small and the wait time can build quickly. My favorite was their fried grippos Mac n cheese ball appetizer! I’m always a fan of their pizzas too. My husband liked his brisket burger.

Great place with an event greater view! Had great service on a busy Wednesday evening when I arrive with a very important client I'll be working with and reporting to, had a great time with delicious food. Parking was pretty rough to find but eventually found a spot. This is my first visit and can't wait to explore more of this amazing city and this amazing restaurant! Be ready to take pictures of the view like I did!!📸

From the food to the service, to the beautiful view of the city of Cincinnati and the Ohio River. It was absolutely amazing. Our server, Andrew, was very kind and friendly to us. Great service, great food. Food is a little pricey but great portion sizes. Atmosphere inside is quite loud but can still have a conversation. Overall 4/5 stars. Would come again!

One of my favorite spots which was even better with Brendan as our server! He was incredibly attentive and made sure we had a great experience!Such a perfect view of the river and Cincinnati with a perfect outside option which I highly recommend! The patio has good shade and a great breeze! We love this place and the people here ! Will definitely be back ♥️

They've got a decent variety of food on the menu. I'd definitely go back to try other items. The bathroom has two stalls; one handicapped and a regular stall. It was clean at a busy hour!

Great view of Cincinnati from Incline Public House. Atmosphere outside was very nice. Pretzel appetizer was delicious. Otherwise entrees and pizza were solid, nothing to write home about. We had a pizza, fish and chips and Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Iced tea was weak and bland. Overall, the view was the attraction. Was getting quite busy when we left around 730pm. Service was excellent, attentive and courteous.

I googled "best place for lunch in Cincy" when we came for a visit...Incline came up first. A great experience! Our server Alyssa was just the best! Nice, knowledgeable and super friendly! Will for sure visit again. A SPECTACULAR VIEW.

Otto's elevates the dining experience with its inviting atmosphere and a menu bursting with fresh, flavorful dishes. The food is beautifully presented, featuring a variety of fresh and flavorful options. The Brie Berry Salad is a standout, with its mix of grapes, brie, and blueberries complemented by caramelized pecans. The Burrata dish, served with roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic, is rich and satisfying, especially with the toasted baguette. The Chicken Salad sandwich with candied pecans and mixed greens is a tasty choice, paired perfectly with sweet potato fries. The menu also includes creative specials like the Seared Salmon with Thai chili sauce. Eric’s exceptional service made the meal even more enjoyable. A must-visit!

We went here off of a recommendation from family. We can see why. It was comfort food with a New Orleans twist. I enjoyed the Cajun pasta dish. I love how the chicken was shredded, you could taste the freshness of the vegetables, and the sauce was gravy-like and creamy. My fiancé had the braised short ribs which was tender, it said it reminded him of home mama used to make. There was a hint of nostalgia in each dish. The fried green tomatoes a tasty appetizer to begin with. It is a quaint, little place. It can be a little loud. The staff seemed slightly overwhelmed and inattentive at times, but overall that doesn’t take away from the overall experience.

Went to Otto's for an early Halloween dinner. We were seated right away and the service was great throughout. They have a great bourbon and beer menu. The place has a great atmosphere. Everything we had was terrific. The cornbread, flatbread , and tomato soup were all fantastic. The short ribs were split up for us and were so tender and delicious. The veggies, mashed potatoes, and the gravy were amazing. Loved our time there.

Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.

Squash curry soup! Cornbread! Pan seared bone-in pork chop!! Braised shortrib!!! Carrot cake! Best short rib in the area and the jus - wow! Great service. The place is a little loud but will definitely be back.

Otto’s has been a Covington staple since 2003, and it’s easy to see why. I had the filet, cooked perfectly and elevated by an incredible blue cheese sauce that tied everything together. My wife’s sea scallops were buttery, fresh, and seared to perfection. The service was friendly, the atmosphere warm and welcoming — the kind of classic spot that’s been doing things right for over 20 years. We’ll definitely be back.

I came here for lunch on a Sunday, likely not the best time in terms of service, but we were served relatively quickly given the time, and the food was delicious. I joined the clean plate club. Bathrooms are one seaters; there's a big one upstairs.

This place is wonderful! Great for a date night. The food was incredible! Highly recommend the Risotto balls for appetizer & Cannoli for desert! We loved this place! (Atmosphere was a bit loud, probably due to volume of customers)

Visited this afternoon and had a fantastic experience. Our waitress Abby was a sweetheart and took very good care of us. I had the Veal Parm and my wife had the Italian Sampler. Our food was well prepared and very delicious. We also shared the Antipasto Salad which was also amazing. We had the Tiramisu for desert and it just might have been the best I ever had. Thank you Pompillio’s and Abby for making our day.

Love the ambience! On a warm summer day it teleports you to a Mediterranean paradise! Love the vibe of the place, the decor is fun and the staff is warm! Overall the food felt very comforting and it was a home style cooking which felt refreshing! Fun fact : The restaurant also featured in the award winning film Rain Man!

Just left our fav local Italian restaurant. Have been going to Pompillos for many years! Tonight, I ordered a simple penne pasta dish for $17.09. I added an order of 1 meatball for $2.29 (pricing acceptable) and then also ordered one Italian Sausage….. Get THIS ..$8.69 FOR ONE SUSAGE…. Over a 50% in cost of the price of the pasta order!!!! I pay about 1/2 this amount at some of the “finer restaurants in Manhattan, and yes, they are homemade as well!!! Unbelievable! The sausage is good…. But not $8.69 good. It should have been priced more comparable to the meatball …. With some slight up-charge for the ingredients. Never again… our business will go to another local Italian restaurant going forward.

We ended up finding street parking right outside the business. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and seated promptly. Our server was working a big party next to us but was attentive to our tables needs. Our food arrived, lobster Ravioli and penned with vodka sauce, both were sub-par and not what we expected after being recommended to try this place. The noodles did not taste fresh, vodka sauce wasn't flavorful/tastie and my meal seemed tobhave suce and cheese on it and then microwaved. The seafood Ravioli sauce was not tasty and again, the pasta tasted old. We ordered a cease salad and requested to share it and they brought us 2 plates with it already split for us. Lighting was dim. Can't remember if there was a TV since we sat all the way down in the back. Staff was friendly and constantly checked in on us. They close at 9pm but we're still taking customers at 8:30pm.

Shrimp and Chicken Alfredo are very good! You feel like being home! Great service

This is a great place for a meal after attending an event in downtown Cincinnati. The service is as good as you will ever experience. The atmosphere is wonderful; quiet and vintage. The 'Shrimp Ronaldo' is excellent; there are so many great flavors. The lasagna is a huge serving. But, it's not prepared the way I am accustomed. To me, it seemed dry and too much like an overbaked casserole. The fried ravioli appetizer was a little disappointing. The meat and cheese fillings are excellent. But, our order came out with quite a bit of black soot on it. I wonder if after frying, it was warmed up in something like a pizza oven. It was not at all crispy. But it tasted a little burnt. The marinara sauce that came with it was fantastic, though. The 'tiramisu' was absolutely delicious. I do believe their recipe is completely original. I didn't taste any espresso / coffee flavor. And, instead of cocoa powder sprinkled on top, it had a lot of Hershey syrup poured on. The serving was more than the two of us could eat. I wish that they could include just a small dinner salad or cup of soup with the entrées. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Pompilios.

This is honestly one of the best tasting restaurants I’ve had in the Cincinnati area. It’s a small menu but they do it will and are very good at adapting to dietary restrictions. My wife got tofu subbed in the risotto dish that originally had fish and it was still amazing! I will be back to try a few more dishes because everything tasted healthy and refreshing. It’s an older building but they stay true to their roots of farm to table. Certainly would recommend for a date night!

My second time for the dinner tasting menu, and everything was just as excellent the second time. Impeccable service both times, and the tasting menu is well worth the price in my opinion. Absolutely perfect place to celebrate an anniversary!

Amazing vegan meal! I asked for the chefs choice, it was DELICIOUS! The date cake is a must, I can’t wait to go back and try it again! It’s pricy for the size but worth it for the quality and flavors!

This was quite the dining experience. From the first bite, everything was a flavor explosion. Some flavors were greatly appreciated and others appealed to different palates, nonetheless it was excellent and entertaining to try as much as possible. Great place for a close group willi g to share some bites amongst each other. Superb date night spot with Menue Course selections and additional wine pairings if needed. Pricey buy worth it ! Great atmosphere and superb servers just not a traditional dining experience so know what you're getting into but I highly recommend the culinary journey. Enjoy !

Good charcuterie, tasty drinks. Entrees are very filling for the price. Park in garage next to resturant . Great service

Came for our anniversary. Great concept, great atmosphere and amazing service! First 2 courses were great, but main course was a little on the salty side and wife's steak a little tough(ordered the 4 course tasting menu). But dessert was pretty good. Overall very good place and would return for another season when menu changes

The food was so fresh and tasty and the service was great. They have a small menu which I love because it makes it easier to decide on a meal. They rotate it with the season so we will definitely return to try a new menu.

So many good options we couldn't decide. Went with the German style pancakes. Very good. Staff was fantastic and attentive. Price is great.

While visiting Cincinnati for a weekend getaway, we found The Original Pancake House through a Google search. This is a super neat and very attractive restaurant that is in a strip mall, but is distinguished by its lovely yellow and white striped awning. We were greeted by the friendly staff at the hostess station and seated right away. Our server was very friendly and helped us in deciding what to order from their extensive menu. I had the corn beef hash with poached eggs and rye toast and my husband had the Michaels Special which was eggs Benedict with sausage and sauteed mushrooms and came with a side of potato pancakes. We both had their fresh-squeezed orange juice. Everything was delicious and service was stellar. I think the star of the show was the potato pancakes. Overall this was a flawless meal and anytime I am in Cincinnati, I will be eating here.

Absolutely amazing service, despite being very busy on a Sunday morning! The Dutch baby was unbelievably tasty but the shining star was the apple pancake! We couldn’t come close to finishing either as the portions are huge, but we certainly enjoyed every single bite we could fit in!

The portions are big and the people are friendly here. We had the western omelet breakfast with 3 buttermilk pancakes. The omelet uses four eggs, so it was quite hearty. There was nothing special about the pancakes, though that came with the omelet. The freshly squeezed orange juice was pretty good. They were very busy, but the service was fast enough. We got a window seat, which was nice, but there was a fly buzzing around the whole time. We asked the waiter to kill the fly 🪰 and he grabbed a magazine from somewhere and murdered the fly. The clientele was of the older generation. The locals seem to like this pancake house. We met some very friendly locals there and they gave this place very high marks. Overall, I felt like the food was average, but I would come back here again.

I went here with my boyfriend for a breakfast date. IHOP called me after, but this place had me saying "New number, who dis?" If you want that old diner feel without the grime, try this place. If you regret it, well maybe you were rude to the staff because their food is 🔥

The Original Pancake House has fantastic food—there's no denying it. Every time I go, the pancakes are fluffy, the eggs are cooked perfectly, and the bacon is smokey. It’s the kind of breakfast that hits the spot every time. However, there are some major downsides. The hours are weird and inconsistent, so don’t count on it being open when you think it should be. Service is okay—some servers are friendly and efficient, others not so much, but you’ll usually get what you need without much hassle. Now for the biggest issue: the place is filthy. The ceiling tiles are stained from water damage, the ceiling fans and lights are absolutely caked in dust, and the walls are chipped, worn-out wood that looks like it hasn’t been touched in years. The floors are consistently slippery, which feels both gross and unsafe. If they ever did a deep clean and freshened up the place, it could easily be a 5-star breakfast spot. But until then, just know you’re trading a delicious meal for a dingy environment. Oh... And it's overpriced.

The portion sizes are HUMONGOUS!!! I got an omelet and it was the size of the ENTIRE PLATE. Not just the length of the plate. Im talking the CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE ENTIRE PLATE!!! I literally got 3 meals out of it. I took a girlfriend there for her first time. Asked our waitress a recommendation. She got the Dutch Pancake with strawberries and lemon. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head when she ate that and instantly said she was bringing her husband there for a meal. I wish I could give the 10 STARS!!!!

4 of us ate here on a Friday evening while cycle touring. We all had appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Though not expensive or “fine dining”, all of us agreed that this is an exceptionally good and well-balanced restaurant. One of the best, and cycle touring has given us the full range. All staff cheerful, helpful, well-informed, and handoff well. Perfectly seasoned, delicious, and healthy meals. Very interesting decor, lively and happy patrons, background music well chosen and at right volume for conversation. Highly recommended!

I had a fun and unexpected experience walking past Kungfood on my way to another restaurant but was drawn in by its clever and overtly Asian pop-culture vibe. The eclectic interior draws from all kinds of Asian cinema and cultural references, making it visually fascinating. The shotgun-style space is cozy, with the bar and dining area up front, the kitchen in the middle, and a quirky back section with restrooms, a small shop selling drinks and knickknacks, and another bar where you pick up takeout. I noticed four tables pushed together in the back and asked a server about them—they turned out to be Mahjong tables! I’m not sure if they host game nights or if the owners just love Mahjong, but it adds to the charm. The food was delicious. You can stick with American-style Chinese favorites or venture into more authentic dishes—many of which have a Taiwanese influence, as the owners are from Taiwan. Overall, it’s a wonderful little place I plan to revisit, especially to bring friends who haven’t experienced Taiwan or who would appreciate the colorful, graphic eye candy. I’d also love to see what it’s like here at night!

I really enjoyed my lunch. The service was phenomenal!!!! The food was very good. And I love the fact that they let you choose your spice level because unlike everyone else these days I am not a fan of heat. Lol.

Unfortunately, I cannot review this place highly. I have tried both dine in and carry out. The portions are laughably small on the carryout side, especially with the way the economy is right now. $12.99 here, and I could go walk to Bridges right down the street which will give me a ton of food for a similar price, not to mention a variety in what I receive. The atmosphere here is amazing - one of the most interesting looking restaurants I've been to in a long time. Unfortunately, the reality is that the food simply does not match the atmosphere. The portions you receive for carry out should be about 2x where it is right now to be worth the squeeze. Outside of portions, the food itself is... okay at best. Less flavorful than your traditional hole-in-the-wall carryout joint, too. I would recommend finding one of those styles of restaurants and avoiding this one altogether based on the price tag. The amount of time waited for carry out was also high. All that said, this is maybe my biggest disappointment when it comes to eating in Covington. Especially with my personality and interests, this seems like it would be a perfect place to eat and grab a quick lunch. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is far outclasses the food -- and let's not forget that the food is THE most important aspect of ANY place to eat, especially in this economy.

I got chicken and mixed vegetables and the big Bertha egg roll, the egg roll was tasty but the veggie version was very one note and tasted mostly of cabbage. It would be nice if they modified the mix with some different things like shredded carrots or something. Everything was very tasty and it was a nice bar with a very neat atmosphere

Hits. Every. Time. Their vegetarian meals are incredible — the pad thai, how fun noodles, sesame tofu and general tsos are my favorite, and their big bertha egg rolls are insanelyyyyy good. Great service and fast always, big portions. A gem.

By far one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The imperial beef stew was out of this world delicious. It was piping hot and wonderfully spicy. I didn't want to stop eating. The service was great and had very neat decor.

Group of 16 of us post graduation. Wonderful meal. Excellent and attentive staff. Nice location. Anxious to return!

A throwback mid-century diner in Hyde Park Square area. How is it that I have never eaten here before? Arrived at 11:30 for an early lunch to ensure getting a table without a wait. Lucked out and got metered parking right in front. Service was friendly and my sandwich platter hit the spot. The lunch counter is cool and they even have shirts for sale. You know you are a special restaurant when you have your own merch!

This diner hits all the high notes and none of the low marks. Clean, friendly, fast, great food. This was a hit in our travels. Highly recommend the special toasts and the red, white, and blueberries dish. Don't skip this one!

9/11/25 After a hospital visit, my husband and I stopped at Echo for breakfast. I ordered the eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce and the country boy style. Both tasted good and were prepared well. My husband had Steph’s Sampler and added bananas and chocolate chips as toppings, though we later found out that came with an extra charge. The pancakes themselves were okay, but a little underwhelming. The staff were very friendly and polite, and I appreciated how quickly we were served, and able to get out. The place is very mom and pop feel. Overall, it was a decent breakfast and convenient stop, but nothing that stood out enough for me to want to make a return visit.

A sweet little place tucked in amongst the buildings located in Hyde Park was definitely a find!!! Just a small diner with alot of old charm. From the time we arrived to being seated was a short wait and the staff was so very friendly including our amazing waitress Tina which all made for a great morning. We enjoyed the Baked Caramel apple French toast, omelet w/ homefries, Steph's sampler and the Hot Mess. Highly recommend as your next breakfast hot spot! Arrive early as the line can easily run out the door and up the sidewalk, but it's definitely worth the wait!

This place has a great diner feel and the staff made me feel like a local! Stephanie, the owner, told us all about the lore of the restaurant which was great fun. Our server Asia was super helpful and attentive. The food was so good too! We got the Hot Mess which was a pile of deliciousness.

Some of the best breakfast I’ve ever had! Me and my fiancé stopped here before we got back on the highway to head home, glad they were open as a lot of places were closed due to it being Monday. We parked, paid and went right in and seated ourselves. Our waitress was attentive and got to us pretty quick. The best potato cakes I’ve ever had! We will be back in Cincy and back to the echo

Alright, let's dive into the amazing world of Coppin's restaurant and bar. This place is a gem, and here's why: First off, let me talk about Chris, the bar tender extraordinaire. This guy is a magician behind the bar. His drinks are so balanced and delicious, you'll question whether he's secretly an alchemist. I've had my fair share of espresso martinis, but Chris's is in a league of its own. It's like he's pouring liquid gold into your glass, and every sip is a symphony of flavors. The vibe at Coppin's is electric. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and let the good times roll. The decor is on point, the staff is friendly, and the energy is so good, you'll want to stay all night. But back to Chris—this guy is more than just a bar tender; he's an artist. His creativity with cocktails is off the charts, and he's got this uncanny ability to read what you need in a drink. I swear, he's like a long-lost brother, always there to make your night better. So, if you're looking for a place that combines great food, amazing drinks, and an atmosphere that's unbeatable, Coppin's is the spot. Come here with an open mind and a thirst for something special, and you won't be disappointed. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you, and you might just find a new best friend behind the bar.

Great dining experience. Bar drinks were quick and great. All service was fantastic, friendly and great with suggestions. Food wait wasn't long and came out amazing. Great atmosphere and beautiful views under the glass roof. Very comfortable place.

Coppins was recommended to me by a friend. Walking in I was greeted by friendly people and sat in the atrium. The special was a 16 oz steak and brussel sprouts. Recommend arriving hungry. Excellent meal! The sweet potato tres leches cake and an Americano coffee finished off the meal. I will be back.

We would give 10 stars if we could!!! 🌟🌟🌟 We recently dined at Coppin’s Restaurant in Covington, KY and let’s just say — we left our taste buds in orbit! The atmosphere was classy yet cozy, the service was top-notch, and the food? OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. 🌍💫 We were celebrating the annual visit of a dear friend from Germany 🇩🇪, but after a meal like this, we refuse to wait another year to return! Let’s break it down: 🥇 My mother-in-law — who has a very discerning palate — declared the salmon the BEST she’s ever had! 🥇 I devoured the scallops with… wait for it… LIMA BEANS. 🫘🔥 I would go to the ends of the earth for those lima beans — buttery, tender, and totally unforgettable. 🥇 And the grand finale: Strawberry Rhubarb Galette 🍓🥧 — tart, sweet, flaky perfection. A mic-drop moment for dessert! We left floating on a foodie cloud and already plotting our return. Thank you, Coppin’s, for turning an annual reunion into a culinary celebration! 🎉 #CoppinsCovington #CovingtonEats #GermanFriendsAndGoodFood #FoodieHeavenKY #ScallopLoversUnite #LimaBeanLove #RealEstateEats #ProvenHomeProsApproved #KentuckyBites #GreaterCincyDining #HouseHuntersAndHungryBellies

The service was excellent, food was average and very expensive for a simple pasta dish which I could make at home for a couple dollars. The chairs are huge and ceilings are extremely high. It felt like dining in a rotunda. They have a huge selection of Kentucky Bourbon and, if you are a fan, this might be a great place to try.

We stayed at Hotel Covington for three nights for honeymoon and ate twice at Coppin’s. The first time we had pork belly, coppin salad and steak, and second time we had tuna, coppin salad, salmon and potato tots. The food overall was very tasty and impressed my picky hubby :) We wanted to give special thanks to our servers, both were wonderful and extremely friendly! They heard about we were on honeymoon trip and offered free dessert and champion toast. Unfortunately we forgot first server’s name, the second time was Carina. Carina noticed that I don’t do alcohol so she provided same-taste, alcohol-free sparking drink to me, alongside with champion to my hubby, how thoughtful was that! Thank you!

I chose this place for my sisters birthday because I love the esthetics. When we got there we waited a little longer than usual for the waitress to come to our table. Not sure if she was a manager but a women named JAMIE took great care of us. She made my sisters birthday lunch the best. JAMIE deserves to be promoted for being so kind and attentive to us!!!! We will definitely go back but only if JAMIE is there lol

Tried this place for the first time last night for date night. My girlfriend had been here before and enjoyed it, so we decided to give it a shot. We arrived around 8 PM on a busy Saturday night. They took our name and quoted a 30-minute wait, which wasn’t a problem—we grabbed a drink at a nearby bar while we waited. When our table was ready, we were seated in an overflow dining area next door. The decor and ambiance were similar to the main restaurant, so no complaints there. Service started off fine but declined pretty quickly. There were about seven tables in our section, plus a bar area. One of the tables was a large group, but they were already finished eating when we walked in and left shortly after. So not a lot of folks on our side. We ordered drinks, chips and queso, and our entrées. The drinks came out quickly and were good, and the chips and queso followed soon after. The queso itself was just okay—nothing memorable, but a decent snack while waiting for our main dishes. For my meal, I ordered a taco flight with the Plain Jane, the Happy Pappy, and the Filthy Fajita. The Plain Jane was the best of the three, but still nothing special. The Happy Pappy was just okay—the carnitas were a bit dry. The Filthy Fajita, however, was straight-up bad. The steak was so tough I had to spit it out, and I ended up removing it from the taco entirely. On top of that, I could tell my tacos had been sitting for a while based on how the queso had hardened—definitely not ideal. My girlfriend ordered the Birria Ramen (which we heard is being removed from the menu soon) and the Becky taco. The ramen was pretty good—not the best birria we’ve had, but it got the job done. Thankfully, she had a better taco experience than I did—she really enjoyed The Becky. The wait for our food was long, but given how busy they were (and the time needed to cook the ramen), it was somewhat understandable. What wasn’t understandable was how long it took to get our check once we finished eating. By this point, the room had mostly emptied out, but despite our server clearly seeing that we were done, we sat for what felt like forever waiting to pay. It felt like we were on their time, which was frustrating. All in all, this place won’t be getting a return visit from me. The service was subpar, and the food wasn’t worth the $80 tab. For that price, I know we could have had a much better meal—and experience—somewhere else.

Awesome food and good service but...........if I order a drink and you bring me the wrong drink why am I paying for both!!! Ordered a pineapple margarita without jalapenos and was brought the one with jalapenos. I was just going to suck it up, but the manager came with a new one and said there was a mistake. The server even came and said she took someone else's drink. No big deal but was still charged for three drinks. Wow just wow! I have never been charged for a servers mistake before. Had I noticed this at the restaurant I would have disputed it right then and there. Bad bad business!

This is a place I went to for the first time because I saw a video online with their Crispy Chicken Burrito and I had to try it. While the one in the video had a bit more filling, it was still delicious and I would 100% recommend you to come here and try their delicious food!! The agave BBQ jam was ridiculous and I would probably enjoy anything with this stuff on top of it!! If you’re around any of their locations, I say give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!!

I love it here! The art inside is so different and makes this place so aesthetically pleasing. I love the selection of bourbon and tequila!! Definitely some premium spirits at this bar. Stephanie made my experience even better with her knowledge of the menu and suggested the grilled chicken burrito. Never had Mac and cheese and bacon in a burrito with barbecue sauce! Tastes amazing and this is a great start to my first time in Covington. Moving to the area soon and definitely will be back!!!

Ian and Anna were phenomenal. They took care of me and made it a wonderful experience. I haven't been here in awhile and I'm so glad I came back for a quick lunch. They were super busy but got everything to me in 30 mins or less! Drink was great too :) thanks guys!!

Best Tacos I've tried, ever... Excellent structure and customer service. It worth swinging by here.

Yeah, this food is amazing! Thank you, STEPHANIE for the amazing service and recommendations. The next time I'm in the Cincinatti area, a return trip is in order. Try it...you'll love it!

This was a tasty experience. I’ve heard positive reviews about this place, so it peaked my curiosity. The chorizo is phenomenal! It’s housemade. Would recommend for a late Saturday morning brunch.

Possibly the best breakfast cocktail I've ever had and I've drank several in my lifetime! Bourbon based and perfectly balanced. The hash was so tender and full of flavor. We loved it and will return for sure! Tobias went above and beyond!

Great place for breakfast as the three of us all enjoyed our meal. Eating area is spacious and clean. Food was tasty and filling. Service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely eat here again.

Food was just okay - Cincinnati’s flavors are unique, not amazing. I think depending on where you sit, you’ll smell sewer. We requested to be moved to a booth and we could no longer smell the sewer (or whatever it was). I was also annoyed with the service.

This was such a good brunch spot find!!! They had incredible, unique options along with some classics. The food came out fast, service was friendly, and the food was so flavorful and delicious. Truly loved our experience! 1000% recommend the Hoe Benny!!!!

This may be my favorite brunch spot on the planet and we have a thing for brunch. When we travel, we hit brunch spots and this place may have ruined us for anywhere else. Our server Merabti was outstanding, drinks never came close to empty, friendly and fast and he recommended the pollo party which wasn’t even on my radar but I am glad he did. We are coming back tomorrow.

This was an amazing dining experience. We decided to try something new amd absolutely no regrets. We all got something different and left full and satisfied

One of my favorite places to go since I started eating out regularly. Extremely relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, kind and more than accommodating staff, and above all a great menu. If you prefer straight forward and delicious food without needing to overthink your choice, you'll appreciate the one and a half page menu where every option I've tried has been delicious. Great breakfast spot especially!

We had an amazing experience here. The service was welcoming, and we didn't have to wait long to get to our table. The food was good. I wish they had fresh strawberries for the pancake, as most pancake places do. The coffees were great, especially the latte. We would highly recommend this spot, but be prepared to wait for a table, especially on weekends.

This was the perfect fresh breakfast I’ve been searching for. Food was delicious, staff were helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. The “Bee Cake” pancakes piqued my interest and my waitress was happy to explain. Basically, it’s a gluten free pancake made with honey and pollen that helps the dough raise like a “normal” pancake. However it had a surprisingly familiar mouth feel and a welcomed nutty flavor! Couldn’t be happier! The breakfast sandwich I got was also delicious and fresh. Truly enjoyed this breakfast so much, I might say it’s the best part of the whole city!

First time coming to this place and will never return. It was slightly busy but waiters were just standing around talking to each other. We had to go up to a server to be put on the waitlist and they had told us it’s about a 10-15 minute wait, turned out to be 25-30. Finally got sat and the waitress that was her first day today was very polite and gave us water (she was doing amazing!), our actual waitress took our drink order and didn’t bring out the actual drinks til 10-15 minutes later. I’m assuming smoothies shouldn’t be room temp and melted, she took our food order the same time as drinks and they had been sitting in the window for quite a bit of time. The eggs weren’t hot anymore and had a rubbery texture to them, the potatoes were started to taste cold. Our waitress had only checked up on us once and felt like she was ignoring our table while talking to her coworkers more. Payed a total of 44 dollars just to enjoy warm smoothies and rubbery eggs, Atleast the place was pretty and aesthetic. Our waitresses name was Alejandra R.

Amazing place! We walked into the Sleepy Bee in downtown Cincinnati and, after a short 15-minute wait, got our table. Atmosphere was busy and vibrant, with perfect lighting, cozy, modern, and full of energy. It’s truly the perfect spot for a Saturday late brunch. Our server, Sophia, was wonderful, kind, informative, and full of joy. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was thrilled to see so many gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options on the menu. Honestly, it’s a 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back probably a hundred times! Don’t miss this gem!

Unfortunately this place did not come near to satisfying our party of 4. We each ordered a meal that was subpar. Our “chorizo” meals did not have typical “chorizo”, just plain breakfast sausage in the scrambled eggs and burrito. When we inquired about the strange choice of “chorizo”, their response was different areas use different sausage as their chorizo. WTH kind of response was that? In that case just put breakfast sausage in your menu item descriptions, not “chorizo”. The food was subpar and took a long time to come out to our table as we watched it just getting dryer and dryer on the kitchen counter. Unfortunately, the food and the service equal in their subpar nature. We had to ask for water, creamers, sugars for coffee, etc. We will definitely never be going back. The ONLY good thing was the oatmeal I ordered. We had to order another one to go so my wife could eat something satisfying. In total, we had pancakes, burritos, scrambled “chorizo” eggs, egg and bacon platter, and oatmeal. Overall review would be a 1 out of 10.

Love sleepy bee, but got takeout from this location and the quality was terrible. Each meal had only TWO potatoes as a side. TWO! The potatoes are my favorite part, and they came unseasoned, with none of the promised sauce. I’d recommend going somewhere else, unless you want to be ripped off.

I have visited Pepp and Dolores a couple of times, and each experience has been exceptional. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and makes great recommendations if you are uncertain about what to try. The pasta is fresh, and the flavors really stand out. It is one of my favorite spots in downtown Cincinnati for authentic Italian cuisine. I highly recommend it.

It was a fantastic experience from service, food, atmosphere. Mark was an exceptional staff. He was very informative, engaging and helpful. I have recommended this place to my friends. The pasta limone, the cucumber and the artichoke were top notch!

Husband and I went for birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Our server, Mallory, was amazing and made the experience very enjoyable. The atmosphere in the downstairs section was great and the food was absolutely amazing. We highly recommend the ricotta all and meatballs!

We really enjoyed our dinner at Pepp & Dolores. We ate at the bar on a Saturday night. Aysha (spelling?) and Andy (working the bar) did an excellent job. They were hard working and pleasant. They elevated our experience. We were really pleased. Meatball appetizer: 5/5 - excellent, a must order Spicy Vodka Pasta: 3/5 - a little too al dente Crab & Corn Ravioli: 5/5 - excellent, a must order

We had a great experience here! The food was delicious. It was setup such that you order all of your courses at the beginning, and then the team staggers the arrival of the food at a pace such that you're not waiting long between courses, but also not rushed. It was hard to narrow down exactly what we wanted because the menu looked so good. The house made ricotta bread was some of the best bread I've ever had. They don't have a dessert menu, so go in knowing that. They leave you with like an Italian cookie when they bring the bill. It was good! Overall, would highly recommend! The service and waiting staff was friendly and professional too.

We had a really nice late lunch here. We were running late but they still accomodated us. Our server was extremely kind and made lots of great food recommendations. We loved everything we ordered, especially the pesto and meatball pasta. The seafood on the ravioli was a little too pungent for me, not as light fresh tasting as I hoped. Wine list was pretty easy to navigate and I was pleasantly surprised by some awesome glass pour options that weren't just lame/cheap house wines. We sat upstairs in the veranda near a window, which we great on a sunny afternoon. (I have sat in the basement before but didn't love it.) Still surprised and disappointed by thunderdome restaurants not offering desserts, even at Pepp. But the limocello service almost made up for it.

This place will always be a hit. Upstairs is a little more loud and casual with a beautiful patio while downstairs offers a moody date night scene. The spicy vodka will always be a hit and the house made ricotta is dreamy. You really can't go wrong with anything on this menu!

The food was good. (The wife wanted more southern choices). The portobello sandwich was messy but tasty. You’ll just need to ask for extra napkins. The hot honey chicken sandwich was tasty as well, would have preferred it to be a little more messy though. The seasons fries were crispy and had great flavor. We liked the atmosphere, it was open with a rustic decor. We were there during great weather so it was open air which made it even more pleasant. Service was very good. Definitely recommend.

Libby’s Southern Comfort is incredible! My best friend and I stopped here for lunch during our girls trip, and I’m still thinking about it. The hot honey chicken sandwich was hands down the best I’ve ever had—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mac n cheese? Unreal. Creamy, rich, and totally unforgettable. The restaurant has a modern, welcoming vibe, and our server was amazing—so friendly and full of great energy. Even though I live four hours away, I’ve already told everyone I know about this place. I’m 100% coming back with my husband. Libby’s is a must-visit!

Stopped in at Libby’s at 2:45 today (Saturday) for a late lunch. The restaurant was empty other than one table of four. We made it halfway across the restaurant and were asked to wait a moment while the bartender/hostess cleaned a table. She didn’t bother to wipe down the booth seat which was covered in sesame seeds and other debris. Once seated, our server quickly came by to get our drink order. The entire visit, the bartender/hostess and two servers were either on their phones, sitting with the other occupied table and talking loudly, or visibly eating food in the kitchen. Our server was the only floor staff who kept herself busy refilling straws, cleaning, refilling sugars, etc. I ordered the shrimp roll and Southern Mac and cheese with a sweet tea. Hubby ordered the two piece chicken with Mac and cheese, fries, and sweet tea. The shrimp roll description gave the impression of big flavors. The only real flavor came from the Grippos bbq chips. There was an excellent quantity of shrimp, but even with the old bay/mayo seasoning it was bland. I was excited for the Southern Mac and cheese - but was disappointed in the flavor as well. No cheesy flavor, no southern kick at the end, not even a bread crumb. It was almost like plain Mac noodles with cheddar melted on top. Hubby’s fried chicken was better. Good crunch on the chicken skin, nice brine albeit a little salty. The meat was super juicy. His Mac and cheese was also mediocre. The fries were tasty, but not house made. The biscuit was “fine”. The sweet tea was perfect. I’ve never in my life had bland Southern food until today. My husband’s granny from Alabama would not approve.

Libby’s was fun to visit with friends for dinner, its location is quaint and is a bit small, but there is ample outdoor seating if you don’t mind the heat. High level, service was great & food was good, but there was nothing memorable enough on the menu to make me desire to return. The fried green tomato batter was thin which caused it to flake off when I cut into it. Wouldn’t order again. The avocado sandwich was good. I had to cut the sandwich myself upon arrival. The fries were tasty too. Service was great, they executed all of our dietary modifications excellently. One callout out- the lack of other tables/customers had the waitress rushing our meal unintentionally.

Best Dammm Restaurant 200 miles from Cincinnati.. Deviled Eggs, Bologna Sandwich, Fried Green Tomato.. Great Slushie. Make your Way to Libby if you want your taste buds to dance.

Visited on a Saturday around dinner time. Busy but not slammed. No wait for a 2 top table. Server was great! Checked back often but was not pushy or made us feel rushed at all. Drinks: Cherrwine Bourbon Slush FTW! This is a great cocktail. Appetizer: Goetta Hush Puppies - The reason we came. Weird texture; I'm sure from the combo. Not off putting, just different from expectations. I was expecting typical, light brown southern hush puppies with a little goetta. They were dark, almost burnt and tasted that way. No goetta flavor, no light batter... Very disappointing. 1/10. The remoulade sauce was great but couldn't save them. Food: Hot Honey chicken sandwich was great! Very crispy and juicy...not an easy combo. Hot Honey sauce was perfect..slight heat, sweet and not too much of it to be over powering! Bun was perfectly toasted! 10/10 would order again. Cole Slaw (on the side). Not sure if it was homemade or food service, but great flavor, not overly dry or moist. Nearly a perfect slaw. Picked onions were STRONG! (I'm not a fan of picked onions in general so....) Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Where's the garlic? Very little flavor of any kind in this scoop of mashed potatoes. Ordinary and plain. Nothing wrong but nothing to write home about. 3/10 Willy Burger. Great flavor, albeit very dry. Smoky undertones. Hate to ruin the flavor with a condiment, but was necessary due to dryness. 6/10 = Would be higher but can you say DRY! Southern Mac n Cheese. Better than the mashed potatoes. Good flavor, gooey cheese. 8/10 Overall, 4 cocktails ($40 - not bad at all!) , 2 sandwiches and an appetizer ($57).... Total: $97 pre tip. (don't forget the 3% credit card fee! I mean, come on! Yes it is clearly on the menu but who honestly goes out with that much cash for a meal these days!?) So $100 and $10 to park in the lot across the street. Wasn't busy and no close on street or free parking (maybe there is but not familiar enough with the area to know). $130 meal that wasn't impressive or anything special. YMMV.

Really good food. Had Hot chicken sandwich (not very spicy, slight tang) with collards for a side.. Collard were the hit. Perfectly cooked! I'd have bought a big bowl and been perfectly happy with them alone. Awesome wait staff. Great attention and never felt forgotten.

My wife and I recently moved to Northern Kentucky and were absolutely thrilled to discover The Baker's Table in Newport, Kentucky! From the moment we walked in, Rachel, Jake, and the entire staff made us feel incredibly welcome and right at home. It's fantastic to find such a wonderful farm-to-table restaurant in our new area. We opted for the Chef's Tasting Menu with the Non-Alcoholic Drink pairing, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Each dish was a unique work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. One of the mocktails, featuring Carrot and Chrysanthemum, was so refreshing and delicious we joked about wanting a whole pitcher to enjoy on our deck at home! While every course was outstanding, the lamb ragu was a definite highlight. The flavors and textures were phenomenal, and the inclusion of what they called "lamb bacon" was truly one of the most delicious things I've tasted in a long time! What we also appreciated was that despite the high quality of the dining experience, the atmosphere was relaxed and unpretentious. Even the background music had songs that made us smile and added an easy-going vibe. The intimate setting made us feel connected rather than lost in a large, bustling space. The staff was attentive and genuinely responsive to our needs. It's clear that The Baker's Table is a business that prioritizes sustainable practices and truly cares about the quality of their ingredients and the people they serve. We loved hearing the stories behind the beverages and the inspiration for each dish, and the fact that the menu changes monthly based on seasonal availability is something we greatly appreciate. Our first experience at The Baker's Table was truly memorable, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect rehearsal dinner than the one we had at The Baker's Table! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was nothing short of enchanting. The attention to detail in every corner of the restaurant added to the intimate, warm atmosphere that made the evening so special. The food was truly exceptional! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh flavors and thoughtful combinations. Our guests were raving about every course, and I honestly don’t think there was a bite left on anyone’s plate! What made the night even more memorable was the impeccable service. The team at The Baker's Table went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. From assisting with our unique requests to making sure everyone was taken care of without skipping a beat, we were truly impressed. They made us feel like family, ensuring that our rehearsal dinner was seamless and stress-free. We were able to fully relax and enjoy the evening because we knew we were in the best hands possible. We couldn’t be more grateful to The Baker's Table for making our rehearsal dinner such a magical, unforgettable night.

My husband and I had a divine meal at The Baker's Table. The thoughtfulness that has gone into every element of this restaurant really shines through. Each and every dish was exquisite. We had the vegetarian tasting menu. So thankful to have found such an absolute gem right here in Newport

We went for a wine night while on vacation and OMG was so legit. Had the non-alcoholic pairings and was so pleased that the staff put so much thought into a non-alcoholic option (so rare! Thank you!) The food was incredible and such a treat! I wish we had anything even close to this back home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 11/10

Didn't pat for it, so I can not speak on the price, but everything off the menu was good. Drinks were good, too. Easy and quick service. The salmon and beet seems like a weird combination but was surprisingly good. The gnocchi has the best texture. Some of the best gnocchi I've had**. Very light. Steak was good, although I have had better. [Medium Rare] The pumpkin cheesecake was also delicious. Good balance of flavor and not being heavy consideriflng what it is. [The molasses gharam cracker crust is 👨🏽‍🍳 💋]

Truly a Gem , one of the best Restaurant and Cocktail bar I ever been in my Whole Life !! Is an Experience, the menu itself change every month or two and this is really something so special that make the local farm and products get known around Kentucky or Oahio !! It's a must if never been there ! Let the Sommelier or the Barman/Mixologist guide you through one of the best Wine pairing of your life !! Still the best thing about this place as the name tells you is their Bread ! Homemade and home baked bread, something that not even in Italy you can get anymore !!! Something so unique and special that people need to make the que or line outside to try ! Believe me ! All the wine pairing were perfectly match and another amazing thing we're the Amari ! After a good 4/5 meal dishes, need to have a good Amaro and their selection in Italian Amari were Awesome !!! Let Jake guide you through the end of the meal with his amazing advise and recommendations !! A truly blessing to have been there two or three times so far !! I love their sorbet with olive oil!!! Incredible experience and also the prices were outstanding for the quality offered. ! Be back for sure ! Thank you David !!!

Highly recommend this restaurant for a special event! The food was absolutely delicious- we tried every dish on the menu and there wasn’t a single one that wasn’t incredible! Our server Jasmine, bartender Jake, and sommelier Ryan, as well as the rest of the staff, worked seamlessly together to provide a really great experience. The owner Dave came out to introduce himself- it’s always a good sign when the owner gets his hands dirty (metaphorically) and works with the staff to do what needs to be done. Absolutely cannot wait to come back and try a whole new round of dishes next season!

We waited for quite a while (with our large party) to be seated, because it was so packed, and by no fault of anyone there. But it was so worth it for the delicious brunch we all enjoyed! I had the special Raspberry Ricotta French Toast and oh man, it was good. I’ve never had a bad experience at a First Watch. Highly recommend!!

First Watch is my very favorite ! Never disappoints. Service is always efficient and pleasant and timely. Food is fresh and yummy. Pricing is good for the wonderful service and yummy food !

It’s great to go to a place and always have a great experience. First time at this particular First Watch. Delicious food any day of the week and in any state! My server was wonderful!

I love first watch! It’s one of my favorite brunch spots. The menu has a ton of options and I love that you can substitute things you like, like what kind of eggs, and bread you like. They even have a gluten free bread option! The drinks are great as well. It’s totally worth trying. Definitely worth the price.

Everything has always been great at First Watch. We use the app to get in line which saves time. Servers are friendly and attentive and work to make your experience positive. The food was the issue today. We decided to try the new maple bacon croissant sandwich. Unfortunately there was NO bacon on the sandwich. We had to flag down our server who promptly got the bacon for us to add. The sandwich was really good once we had the bacon to add.

Still like favorite item: the trifecta with chicken sausage. Today enjoyed a healthy juice w/turmeric/beet/lemon/etc. Service quick & food served hot. Like quick checkout on phone. But server forgot to put in my to-go order I requested when I initially placed order.

I’m not from the area and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. That’s when I met the most amazing server, Allison! She was so kind and helpful, making me feel welcome right away. She even gave me the option to sit up front with her so she could keep me company — such a thoughtful gesture that truly made my visit special. Thank you, Allison, for going above and beyond!

This is the place for BBQ if u are ever in California Ohio. Ribs to die for and super moist tender brisket. Staff was extremely nice. I'm from Texas and this BBQ place is really good food.

Unique location, great food. I wanted just a couple of the meats, no extras, and they hooked me up for a great price. The pork rub was a bit salty, but not a problem for me. If I'm in the area again, I will be back. It's a great option before a concert at the nearby PNC pavilion.

There are many BBQ restaurants in the Cincinnati area, and Pig Candy BBQ is near the top of my list. Located in the California neighborhood, out by Riverbend Music Center, sits this cozy restaurant that occupies a former jail. All meats are smoked on site and served fresh with a wonderful selection of sides and some fun specialty items like a waffle sandwich or quesadilla. I think their Bama Turkey sandwich is top of the menu for me. It combines thick-sliced turkey, layered with tomato, onion, and dill pickles, with white sauce on the side ($10). The turkey is really good, and I like having some additional toppings on the sandwich rather than just coleslaw. Sides can be added for $4 and include the pickled onion and peppers, which are awesome. Another unique item is the Pig Mac Bowl, a bowl of mac and cheese, topped with pulled pork, red sauce, and slaw ($10). This is a full meal in a bowl, and there is no need to add a side to it. It's a really good option. The pulled pork sandwich is topped with white and gold sauces plus slaw on the side ($8). Plenty of meat is piled high on the butter toasted bun, and it's full of smoke plus very tender. A full kids' menu is available, plus local craft beer, hard seltzers, wine, and mimosas. It's a wonderful place to stop before a concert or even for Sunday brunch.

Best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best food I've had. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The restaurant is very clean, with a great vibe. The prices are great and the portions are good. The cornbread is amazing. I can't wait to go back.

This is one of my favorite BBQ places in Cincinnati. Favorite thing to order is the sausage sandwich with brisket as a side 10/10. I have tried most of their sides at this point they are ok at best nothing to write home about on anything iv had baked beans, cowboy beans, green beans , it’s all ok, not bad at all but nothing out of the ordinary. Grits are about the same just ok, but the meats here are where the show is , all the protein choices they offer are great as well ass the sauces. Brisket quesadilla is also pretty good but nothing beats that sausage sandwich with brisket as a side. Staff has never not been friendly and welcoming any time iv eaten here.

Sooooo Amazing!! My celiac body was so excited to be able to eat almost everything on the menu! My normal husband enjoyed everything tooo!! I can't wait to go back!! I actually had a gluten-free dessert and it didn't taste like it!!!

First time eating at Pig Candy did not disappoint. I had the brisket grilled cheese and my wife had the brisket sandwich and coleslaw. Grilled cheese was nicely cooked with a good portion of brisket and my wife’s brisket sandwich was also excellent, as was the slaw. Super friendly staff in a cool place. So happy to have you here because the bbq place we used to go to abandoned us and moved to Avondale, the joke was on them I believe. We’ll be back!

I want to give a huge thanks to Maggianos staff from the host , chefs and waitress/waiters. They went over and beyond for my proposal I couldnt ask for nothing better. Last night was a night to remember. And the cake was amazing! Thank u everyone again. The food was amazing and the hospitality is very welcoming!

We have always loved Maggiano's, and will often look for one when traveling. This location exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent, and it was the best classic lasagna we've ever had from any Maggiano's, and well above average overall. The salad and bread were also very good. Unfortunately, there is no more Marco's Meal, nor take home classic pastas. Still a great meal, but no longer a great value.

The service and food were very good. We had the Crab cakes for our appetizer and they were awesome! For our main course, we had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Parmesan Crusted Chicken and the Beef Tenderloin Medallions. Both were very good and we would order it again.

We had a great experience at Maggiano’s for a reserved private party celebration. Everything was exactly as I envisioned it would be! Ambiance and devote of the room and tables were lovely! Service was outstanding, food was excellent!

Always a great meal with ample space and we’ve honestly never had to wait. Staff is always super nice and very accommodating. I have tried many dishes and they’ve all been delicious! Very good pricing as well. I had the chicken piccata today and it was heavenly. Large portions as well. Highly recommend.

Everything was so flavorful and great quality. Our waitress was very helpful and fun. Definitely matched our energy.

We were greeted quickly by the hostess as a walk-in for dinner. Our server was friendly and had made wonderful suggestions. The fried calamari is crispy and seasoned. The tiramisu was the best I’ve enjoyed in years. Moist with strong coffee and rich mascarpone. Halfway through our meal Mariana stopped by our table and is the most genuine good hearted person I met in all of Atlanta. (She asked about our meal, of course I expected.) But she went beyond that and thanked my husband for his service. She engaged with us about our visit to Atlanta and was actually listening not just nodding and checking off a table. Really felt the pride Mariana and Charles take in the restaurants family feel from food to service.

Omg! Thought we’d try them out for brunch. This place was so good! One of the staff suggested Birria Grilled Cheese and that I wasn’t going to regret it. And boy was she 💯 right!! I love how homey and inviting the atmosphere. So glad we stopped by and will definitely be coming back. Please check them out if you’re ever in the area.

This is definitely a hidden gem !! Employees are super nice and a lot of fun. Great environment inside and great outdoor space with TV. Food was great and so were the cocktails. Pulled pork nachos were so good and so was the pho noodles. They have about 10 different flavored frozen margaritas. Will definitely be going back !! Keep up the great work!!

I absolutely LOVE Olla's! The food. Is. Incredible. The business their togo/takeout gets speaks for itself- the food is so good. If you plan to dine inside, there is limited seating. They have a large patio if the weather permits. They are involved with the community as well, like throwing a Dia de los Muertes festival. Love Ollas!!

Finally made it out here for dinner with friends, and let me tell you - it absolutely lived up to the hype. While the indoor seating is a bit limited, the spacious patio more than makes up for it. It's a relaxed, order-at-the-bar setup: browse the menu ahead of time if you're indecisive like me. Once you order, they bring everything right to your table. The staff? Incredibly welcoming - genuinely kind and attentive from start to finish. Inside, there's a cool, cozy vibe with a vibrant mural that adds a great touch of character to the space. Now, let's talk drinks. My girlfriend ordered a frozen mango margarita with a sugar rim and - wow. Easily one of the best we've had. Super refreshing and perfectly balanced. We saw some other cocktails being served at nearby tables that looked just as tempting - we'll definitely be trying more on our next visit. The food, though... next level. I ordered the birria quesadilla and it was phenomenal. Seriously, the best birria I've ever had. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, packed with flavor, and perfectly complemented by just the right amount of cheese, onion, and cilantro. My girlfriend had the birria ramen - equally incredible. And the chips and guac? Smooth, flavorful, and addictive. Saying I "loved" this place doesn't do it justice. We'll absolutely be back - and if you haven't been yet, this is your sign. Easily one of the top spots in the area. Hands down.

By far the best Mexican food I've had in the area, the Birria is to die for. You can tell the owners truly care about their craft and their community. It's gotta be one of the most friendly places I've ever been, they make everyone feel welcome. I'd advise anyone reading bad reviews to keep in mind the current climate, some folk just don't seem to like people that take pride in their communities for some reason. I'd also advise that if you're gonna get the Birria Grilled Cheese, get two.

An awesome experience! Delicious and authentic meal. The portion sizes do not disappoint either! Can't wait to go back!

Casual, Flavorful, and Friendly – A Great Spot for Lunch in Covington Olla is a fairly new and very welcome addition to the Covington, Kentucky food scene. Located at the corner of MLK and Holman in a charmingly renovated house, this casual Mexican restaurant offers a relaxed and lively atmosphere. Seating includes a few indoor tables, an indoor counter, sidewalk tables out front, and a covered back patio that’s perfect for a sunny day. It’s a popular lunch destination—often bustling—and for good reason. The portions are generous, prices are moderate, and the menu sticks to traditional Mexican fare with satisfying flavor. The burritos are huge and delicious, and one of my personal favorites is the loaded nachos with the option to add meat. I chose the shredded BBQ beef, which was tender and flavorful. The nachos were seasoned with just the right amount of salt and spices, and they came with a trio of house-made sauces—none too spicy, but all full of flavor. Ordering is counter-style: you place your order, grab a number, and then take a seat. The staff is friendly and efficient, and your food is brought right to your table. Cold bottled drinks are available for self-serve from the coolers. Note that there are a few steps to enter the building—either from the front or back—and restrooms are clean and easy to access. Free street parking is usually plentiful in the area. If you’re looking for a fun, no-fuss spot to grab a tasty Mexican lunch or dinner with friends or family, Olla is a great choice.

Baker-Hunt is a beautiful campus, nestled in the heart of Covington, KY. They offer a wide range of classes catering to all ages.

Good pastel studio, great teacher; Ken Buck, and good vibes all around the class. The best hours of the week.

Such a beautiful campus for adults and youth to learn from its many teachers. Classes are 12ish in a class from pottery, sewing, photography, cooking, oils, acrylics, pastels, drawing, Stainglass The fees for classes are reasonable. I’ve been taking various classes since 2012.

Arts education in a beautiful, historic setting. I've taken multiple courses here and have acquired multiple skills. From macrame to mindfulness, Baker Hunt is worth experience, every time.

Baker Hunt offers so many diverse classes to explore creativity .I took the Intermediate Handbuilding Ceramics class in both the summer and fall sessions in 2023. I learned a lot and had fun.. But I must cast light to a very negative experience in the hopes that it will not happen to anyone else. I created a 2 faced jack o lantern. I painted it. When ready for pick up it was nowhere to be found, I contacted the center and the instructor, inquiries were made, no one had an explanation. It takes a very long time to create a piece and for it "disappear" is unacceptable and extremely disappointing. I overall found the center to be complacent. So everyone, create at your own risk. Laura not David

This is a really great place to learn about a new craft, hobby or art form. I’ve taken several classes here and was not disappointed. There is a multitude of ages and media to work with and all are at a reasonable cost. Classes fill up quick but other than that, this place is perfect. The atmosphere is absolutely charming.

If I could give Baker-Hunt Art & Cultural Center 10 stars I would. I have been taking classes and attending various workshops since I retired in 2005. I have gone from being able to draw nothing to becoming accomplished in Colored Pencil art. The campus is beautiful, the people I have met and are now friends with are wonderful, and I enjoy every minute spent there.

Went here because it has a reputation of great steaks. The atmosphere was superb. Live piano music. The service was by far the best thing here. The dinner rolls were quite addictive. We ordered the sea bass entre and the prime rib special. The sea bass was huge and tasty. The prime rib was also generous in size. Cooked as requested, but tasted more like a steak than prime rib. The desserts were ok...not the reason for coming All in all, glad we did it once. It was a bit of. Drive to get here so probably won't do it again given the distance and cost.

Great food! We ordered the tomato bruschetta as a starter and it was excellent! I personally ordered the pork chop special and I must say I believe it was the best pork chop I have ever had! It was tender, moist, and flavorful! All of our meals were outstanding!

We celebrated our anniversary at Ivory House, and the entire experience was outstanding. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our waitress, Elise, made the evening truly exceptional—she was informative, professional, and genuinely kind. It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Cincinnati.

This place is amazing! Great food, great service, nice atmosphere and good place for any occasion. We are very happy to celebrate our 7th year anniversary here with special friends. We love this place. I highly recommend it.

This place is unbelievable, we celebrated our anniversary dinner at the Ivory House. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. We went for the Seafood and the dishes were delicious even though they specialty is Steaks. The young man (Rain) playing the piano was so talented which made our evening even more special.

Had the ultimate surf and turf (or something like that) 35 oz tomahawk, 2 lobster tails, 4 shrimp and 4 scallops. Also comes with two sides. It's ALOT of food and everything was wonderful. Service was excellent - very attentive. Overall, very highly recommended. For the money, it was actually a good deal.

We celebrated our anniversary at Ivory House last week, eager to try some unique menu items. The appetizers were a mix—beet-soaked deviled eggs missed the mark with unexpected saltiness, but the French-style mussels and lamb lollipops were excellent. We rarely find mussels done this well in Cincinnati. For entrees, I ordered the NY steak with carrots and truffle mushroom risotto, a perfect 11/10. My husband’s pork chop was nearly as good, though the creamed corn was underwhelming; however, the scalloped potatoes were amazing. One drawback was being seated beside a family with young kids, which dampened the atmosphere a bit on our kid-free evening. Overall, we had a great time and look forward to coming back!

I loved this diner for the the breakfast. Lots to choose from the menu. Recommended for kids as well. The plates are huge, we could have shared a meal if we weren't that hungry. From the greater to the staff, everyone was friendly. A must go to if your visiting.

The food and service was amazing! There was a small wait on Sunday morning but nothing outrageous. The menu has something for everyone. The food was cooked to perfection and every one in our group ate every bit of food we had. Our server was amazing! She was super attentive and took great care of us. The only knock was that it was super loud in the restaurant. You could barely understand what someone across the table from you was saying. Kudos to the staff for being able to hear every order with it being that loud!

Unreal Bang for Buck! The food was great. Highly recommend adding the Goetta to your meal. I had never heard of it, but it’s a fun local flair. Definitely want to try the Goetta Benedict in the future. Pancakes were great, love that the recipe has been around for almost a century, along with the syrup. Potatoes were perfect too! The vibe is super fun for kids as well. A fun hint of nostalgia, plus they get to take home a rubber duck.

This is a cute old school diner. I enjoyed the fun atmosphere and appearance of it. The waitress was nice. They were pretty busy, we were there about 10:30 on a saturday morning. I had a breakfast burrito. It was pretty good. But pretty big! Definitely dont need that much food for breakfast! Overall I enjoyed the experience.

Great place for breakfast and the food plate is more than enough. I loved the atmosphere and everyone was so nice. I'm glad we chose this place for breakfast.

I got the philly omelet and hubby got the cinnamon french toast and eggs Benedict which were all amazing! good service and super cute vibe!!! Loved being able to pick out a duck at the end!

Pancakes are great! The stuffed French toast was a 10/10. Omelet was fluffy and filled with toppings. Benedict and club were both awesome.

Fantastic in every way - impressionistic yet sophisticated space. Upbeat yet, relaxing music create a perfect ambiance. The servers, runners, and rest of the staff were knowledgeable forthright and personable. The food - fresh light yet perfectly sized appetizers, entree's and desserts all of which were executed and plated with precision on unique tableware. Cocktails, wines and beers were well thought out to ensure you find something for your palate without the burden of a large wine cellar or extensive draft list. We can't wait to come back.

Somewhere between 3-4 stars. Drinks are excellent and I do not say that lightly. Our server was pretty inattentive however the food is good. The grilled octopus is a must and the bia bowl was good, not stellar. Great location across from the Aronoff. I would return but probably just sit at bar for drinks and appetizers.

Love the decor and atmosphere!!! Can’t forget to mention how great the food was as well. My husband and I went for a spontaneous night out and were blown away! We split the grilled octopus and lamb chops - to die for. He had the honeycomb dessert and really liked that as well. The staff members were super friendly and attentive. Already made reservations to come back :)

First time at OKTO. Beautiful and spacious restaurant. The food is Greek themed and clearly Mediterranean inspired. We had the Mezza appetizer with vegan Moussaka and chicken and lamb souvlaki. All the dishes were prepared with fresh ingredients and were very delicious. For those used to ethnic Greek and other Mediterranean restaurants, might find the food more moderate, probably curated for a broader audience. I would visit again.

Our experience was absolutely amazing! Incredible customer service, our waitress was phenomenal. My husband had a delicious cocktail. Our food was absolutely 10/10. Would recommend to anyone for a special occasion or just a simple date night!

This place was very instagrammable. the decor is super cute and the service was great. The food was fine. Sometimes good, mostly okay and definitely overpriced. You’re paying for the experience here and that’s fine but I want good food if I’m paying so much so it was nice but I wouldn’t go back. If you do go I would suggest sitting at the bar bc their craft cocktails were good and getting the calamari or octopus. The best thing I ate that night.

We went to OTKO last night for our anniversary. Overall it was a good experience and I would go back. I was really disappointed with the grilled octopus, it was over cooked and so chewy we couldn’t eat it. Octopus should always be cooked in under a minute or over an hour. I love spicy, and put hot sauce on everything, but the tequila poloma cocktail was so spicy that it over shadowed the rest of the flavors. It tasted like drinking cold jalapeño water. No grapefruit, no tequila. However, the rest of the food, cocktails and service was great! The pita platter and baklava were delicous, yellowfin tuna was cooked perfectly, the lamb was amazing. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes. I just know the two items to stay away from.

Where do I start! You can’t go wrong with anything you order here. My husband and I stop in almost weekly whether it be for pastries or dinner. The rotating ramens keep you coming back! If you wake up early on the weekend run and get a box of pastries before sellout. The hardest part is not ordering one of everything everytime you go. My husband who loves ramen orders the burger every-time we come in. He claims it’s the best in town! I always get the ramen, so we share plates. Staff is always a pleasure, the ambiance is exactly what you want out of a ramen shop, you will spend the rest of your life comparing other ramens to this ramen. I wish they offered carry out dinner as I am a take-away girly, but if we’re doing date night and I’m leaving the house for dinner this is where we’re going! Oh.. don’t forget the Shokupan!!

Will have to come back another time when earlier in the day since it seems they run out of some of their quicker-selling items fast, but this spot is cute with very kind employees. The pastries we got to try were excellent! I especially loved the sweet corn pastry and tea cookie. If you come later there are not as many options, but I plan to come back and try the ramen for sure. Definitely check this little spot out. Great place to get some studying done too. Nice, clean, and calm space.

My first coming to this place. I ordered the junk ramen. The broth was so delicious. It was perfect for a cold fall evening. It was warm and had a wonderful umami flavor. The pork was so tender I could sit here all day talk about this delicious ramen. The service was awesome and the staff is very attentive. I see why people rave about this place. The food, staff and atmosphere was great. I will come back for the pastries.

While the atmosphere, service, and location were fantastic, I was disappointed in the food. I would give the Cincinnati Style Ramen a 5/10 and say it is not worth the hype. I make various ramens from scratch at home and try as many new places as I can. Ramen and sushi are my favorite food. While I enjoy Cincinnati style chili, the ramen was lacking in flavor. The broth was a little on the bland side and lacked a good flavor “kick” that the ramen needed to stand out. The noodles were also not my favorite, as they felt “spongy” and the egg was overcooked. I would never order this again. The Hokkaido Smashburger was a 6.5/10. Same as with the ramen, it lacked the “kick” of flavor it needed to not just be “another burger.” And that is what it felt like, just another burger and not something to go out of my way to get. Overall, I feel both of these items have good potential, they just need some work in the flavor department.

The food was excellent! The Wagu beef burger and fries was the bomb! The spicy Ramen was just right in terms of heat and the broth was favorable. Will definitely be back! The food was so good that I forgot to take a photo until the end!

I got the Cinci style Ramen. It was good but overwhelming flavor. I plan to go back but get a more traditional dish. And I really wanna try their pastries, I hear it’s delicious. Otherwise it was a cool place and staff were friendly and attentive.

Bakery items taste unique but are iced cold. Gives me the feeling of eating left over bread from the day before. Would rated much higher if it was fresh and hot. Ramen noodles have nice texture. Soup base is not bad as well but the small quantity of toppings makes the experience feel like it’s all about the noodles. Missing that wholesome feeling.

Went for Sunday Brunch. Food was good, though a bit lacking in variety. Bacon was severely overcooked, but the chicken was the star! Service was great. Parking can be a bit of a hassle if you go during peak hours.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant during Burger Week. The onion rings were large and incredibly crispy, making it easy to share half an order with someone else. The burgers were perfectly cooked and tender, with a magical sauce that elevated the taste. The fries were also very good. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience and would recommend!

Honestly a 10/10 chicken place. Has an elegant rich atmosphere but respectable prices. Recently added to the B line, their bourbon selection is far above average. Would absolutely do this again.

The service was flawless. The food was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.

Fried chicken was 1/2 its previous size and dripping in grease. Hot Brown's presentation was a sloppy goey mess. It had obviously been microwaved as everything was flat and run together. It was unappealing, nearly stomach turning mess. The bread underneath was soggy, not toasted.

We ate here for the first time on 7/16/25 due to the great reviews on this site. Hy husband got the chicken and said it was really good. I got the open face roast beef and it was good. We loved the cheese sticks too. However, the sides left a lot to be desired. We both thought the coleslaw was sour, too much vinegar and not enough sugar. The green beans had a good flavor, if they would leave out the sugar. I cook southern and never have I ever had green beans with sugar in them. I couldn’t eat them either. The mashed potatoes were not seasoned and edible but mediocre. We got the peanut butter pie and he said it was good. Great waitress and atmosphere. Should we go back, they need to add more sides to the menu.

The first night we came, it was a wonderful evening being seated in the cozy tea room area, not crowded or cramped feeling. Soft big band jazz playing, clean, pleasant atmosphere with upscale decor with interesting rustic aspects. I had the grilled fish special which was Haddock I believe, and it was so delicious. Wonderful glass of house Cabernet. Amazing waiter, an older gentleman who was so attentive and friendly. Another night we were seated in a larger area filled with customers. It felt a bit too crowded for me, tables too close together but still a nice evening. A booth would have felt a bit more private probably. My salmon harvest salad was yummy. Everyone was happy with their selections but one person felt a little disappointed his was served with rye bread, that was not even toasted, and just looked like generic bread from the grocery.

We live in the area and decided to come to Walt's for our first time based on local recommendations. I got the elk ribeye and my wife got a bone in beef ribeye with crab cake. For dessert we got the cheesecake and carrot cake. The food was very good. Steaks cooked well for the most part, definitely not overdone. I visit many higher end restaurants around the country while traveling for work and this was the best cheesecake I've had at any restaurant so far. Now the reason for the review, we arrived five minutes before our reservation and were not seated until ten minutes after our reservation. While waiting, many parties (two or so couples and two or 3 larger groups) large and small were coming in behind us and being immediately seated while we still waited. We were told they were late for their earlier reservations and we had to wait because they were backed up. This was confusing, because many tables were already set up and waiting, we weren't waiting on patrons to finish dining. In response to a complaint by us they comped one of our desserts, but even so, during the discussion the manager dismissively implied that's just the way it is but she'll comp a dessert for us. This was highly unusual service compared to other high end restaurants I've visited in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Chicago. Never before have I had to wait because other parties had not arrived. Food was great but I will not be coming back to Walt's.

Great restaurant with really good food (not amazing). The bison was really good and the chicken was nothing special. It was fine though. The halit special is good if you like fish. The mac n cheese wasn't great. The service was good and it was a nice atmosphere that wasn't too tight or crammed. The free bread is amazing.

Old school type of restaurant, reminds me of some place. My parents would have visited. The menu offered a variety of choices, I found a family favorite hot slaw, identical to how I grew up. I had the steak and mushrooms very flavorful. Would order it again. The service was prompt and fast.

The best thing i got was the bread 10/10 i had no idea was completely surprised how good it is, it has a salty crispy crunchy outside and a warm solf inside no butter needed i would eat a whole loaf, the Oysters Rockefeller 7/10, the hot slaw 5/10 the taste is good but only giving 5 tiny pieces of bacon is highly disappointing. the steak 7/10 pretty good no complaints. The ribs are cooked great and have a old style bbq sauce on them, but to me it tasted like straight tomato paste 3/10

I took my mother here for her birthday and we really enjoyed our experience. The ribs were the talk of the table, our server got us the other type they have available to see if we liked them any better, they were just not our "style" but the steak, house salad, mashed potatoes and rye bread were delicious! The beer/wine list was impressive. The wait staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and classy in my opinion, come as you are but shower first 😜 We had a great time at dinner and appreciate the staff for being there to help us navigate our first visit!

We just went yesterday for the first time. We were celebrating our 45th Anniversary so we wanted something extra special and it was. Our sever Nick was great and totally on top of everything. The food, well where do I begin? We started with their salted rye bread. Oh my gosh I've never had bread like that before. It was out of this world, but I ate too much. Our Onion soup was good. Hubby got the Wedge salad which was huge and really good too. My tossed salad was fine. I got the half slab of the fall of the bone ribs. They were good, not great, but I was definitely happy with them. My husband got the 18oz. Bone in Ribeye that was very good. Our sides were the cowboy baked potato and these to die for roasted brussel sprouts. Get them! We splurged and ordered and extra side of the Lobster Mac and cheese. It was worth the $25 price. We took home a piece of carrot cake since they said it was so good, which it was. My only complaint and I hate to even say this was I thought we might get a little something for our 45th Anniversary since my husband told them when making the reservation, but we didn't. It by no means took away from our phenomenal dinner. If you are looking for a special place to go for dinner I totally recommend Walt's Hitching Post.

One of my favorite restaurants when visiting the Cincinnati area. Food is amazing. Portions are huge. Service is friendly and fast.

I ordered Nachos for lunch. Imagine my surprise when I open it and it's tortilla chips covered in lettuce and bacon bits. No cheese. No chili. There was a yet unidentified sauce that may contain something I'm allergic to but don't have the cajones to press my luck. Worst part is that it was lunch time without a soul in the place except employees. I could see a mistake if they were busy....but it was just me!

This location is very busy. I do NOT recommend take out or delivery during anytime except perhaps the weekdays. Just placed a fairly large order of 30 wings and a side for my friends and I for takeout. It’s Friday night, time to let loose a little and treat ourselves. I live close by to this location but when I got home to serve up everyone’s order they were either overcooked or just not processed with care. I don’t seek refunds or other compensation. I just expect quality for the near 60$ I spent before tip. This is my honest review and I hope it helps even one other person. Don’t risk it on boneless.

I use to love this place when it first opened but it’s went down hill every time I order xtra for my nachos I never get them this time I didn’t want jalapenos well they put them in the bottom no container with my chips so now all my chips r soggy and nasty my wing sauce is always outside of the box in the bottom of the bag

We arrived as the doors opened. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server Christina was absolutely great. She went above and beyond for us. Our food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious !

I ordered and did a pick up when I say first off wings are expensive as heck 15 dollars for two orders of 5 wings and they was raw as hell like white and pink in the inside I was so pissed I already worked a 12+ hour shift being in healthcare all I wanted was to get my kids and get our food and to find out the wings needed to be put in my air fryer I would never eat here again ever I also got cheese pizza and mozzarella sticks and nachos the only thing that looked appealing was the pizza and mozzarella sticks the nachos had beans in the chilli just not worth 38 plus dollars to me.

Kelly was our server. Excellent service. Food was stellar. They offered a veteran's discount and took 10% off the entire meal not just Dad's meal. Pizza was really good and big enough to eat half and take the other half home. This is our new favorite Sunday restaurant.

I've been to this place about three times now and it's gotten better each time I've been next time I go I'm hoping I can give five stars. I'm not complaining The food is great service is great atmosphere is great pricing is great. myself has just not had a five-star visit yet but soon

St Francis pizza is the perfect blend between NY Style Pizza and New Haven Pizza. I have eaten more than my fair share of both. The crust was nice and crispy. The toppings were perfect. The fresh basil on the side is a nice touch. The service was amazing. We got a chance to talk with the owner and the passion for pizza is clearly evident in the final product. All the way from Florida for a Reds game, but now I want to come back to Cincinnati to spend more time and eat more pizza.

One of the best pizza spots in the city. Tiny carry out only spot with a few seats outside. Definitely a little pricey but if you like New York style or New Haven style you should definitely give it a try. Great quality and great flavors. The service by everyone including the owner is great. Do visit it if you can.

If you're looking for a great pizza with a nice charred crust this place is a great little find. Found them while looking for a new pizza to try and it did not disappoint. A little pricier than some pizza places but well worth it to get that perfect crust and great flavor. Definitely being added to my list of favorite pizza spots.

Great service and excellent pizza! My favorite is the Alms Park. The Caesar salad dressing is phenomenal - it has a lot of garlic. They have vegan options as well!

We’re from Northwest Ohio and had St. Francis APizza on our “to try” list after seeing it featured on YouTube—so when we found ourselves in the Cincinnati area, we made sure to stop in. We’re so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. The guy working was super friendly and helpful. It was our first time there, and he patiently walked us through the menu, explained our options, and even let us know we could split the pizza half-and-half. It’s takeout-only, but they do have a few small tables outside. When we mentioned we’d like to eat there, they immediately apologized for the tables not being wiped off and quickly cleaned them—even though they looked totally fine to us. We really appreciated the attention to detail and how welcoming they were. We went with half Margo-Rita and half pepperoni with hot honey—both were absolutely fantastic. The dough had incredible flavor with the perfect bake and a nicely crisped bottom. The sauce was bright and balanced, the cheese was top-notch, and the proportions of everything were spot-on. Every ingredient tasted super fresh, and it all came together beautifully. St. Francis APizza absolutely lived up to the hype. If you’re anywhere near Cincinnati, this place is 100% worth the visit.

Alex and team, Long time coming...Love your pizza. Love your weekly emails - appreciate the insight and honesty. Love supporting your business, the love that is put into your product and business is appreciated. On a personal note, in short, my wife and I order frequently from the Eerie Ave location (excited to have sit down restaurant)...but what made the biggest impression on us: Back in November (election night), our beloved dog, Hutch, who would only walk from Eerie to Observatory (very stubborn pitty) if we held St. Francis Apizza crust and pizza over him ), was very sick. He was very sick, unexpected diagnosis, and we tried literally everything to get him to eat. I ordered him his beloved St. Francis pizza to try to get him to eat. Busy night and completely sold out of pizza - understandable (everyone by their tvs). My wife went there and explained situation (just trying to get Hutch through the night until we said our goodbyes the next day), and Alex, no questions asked came out with a mini cheese pizza for him. His kindness has left an indelible impression on my - and for that I am forever grateful. Great pizza (best in Cincy - my wife argue over standard bake vs medium back - you choose) and even better people who work there - from the font of house to Alex. Thank you guys for what you do. We are forever grateful for your kindness and passion. Our new pup (another pitty) also loves carbs and your pizza! Thx, Jeff, Meghan, & Hutch Jeff & Meghan

This place is soo good. One of the best pizzas in cinci. We can’t decide if we love the original best or their tavern style that they serve on Mondays. You truly can’t go wrong with either!! Soo soo good!

The BEST breakfast I've had yet!!!! 3 pancakes with honey butter and maple syrup...thick, fluffy and done to perfection! The Plain and Simple and the Meat and Potatoes were just as amazing! Caramel latte was great as were the Chai's, but they didn't have cold foam or any whip for them. Atmosphere was great! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Quite a line but it went very quickly and our food didn't take long either and it was hot. Great setup and service! HIGHLY recommend The Proud Hound! ♥️

Conclusion - Nice large Coffee shop. Good for Meeting up with a group or just a friend. Baristas seem professional, would recommend any Traditional type of drink (Ex. Cortado...). Due to open Environment a little noisy. But, overall Fun Environment to go grab a Good cup of coffee and hang out/chat with friends. Not much parking at location, but a decent sized lot across the street which is favorable. Check out the full review on our Instagram or TikTok @hunting_coffee

I came here a couple times to plug in and grab a latte. It's a spacious place with a good amount of outlets and 3 hours of WiFi for customers. My plain latte was top-tier quality -- I'd drink it any day. The Cardi Bee latte (special with honey, cardamom, and orange) was also solid, not overwhelmingly sweet, and the flavors were noticeable. If you're looking for non-dairy, they have oat milk (no almond milk). They also have a super interesting food menu of breakfast-forward dishes; it definitely goes above and beyond your average coffee shop menu, but I haven't tried any food. My lady tried one of their donuts and said it was a 5/10.. a little on the dry side. Overall, this seems to be a pretty solid shop and I'd be happy to keep visiting and exploring more of the menu.

Run!!! I mean walk to try this spot!!! This food was delicious!!!!! The seasoning was top tier!!! Whoever is in that kitchen needs a raise!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 From the lovely atmosphere and bubbly staff!!! I’ll definitely come back!!!! P.s I’m not gonna lie was hesitant on the name like omg are they going to have the doggies in the kitchen cooking ….. lol well if they are they did a great job lol!!!! 🎉🎉

It was my first time there, the food was great!! The coffee was also amazing!! The line is long but it didn’t take forever! It’s more of brunch place. Parking is across the street. We will be back (:

Proud Hound always delivers. The coffee, seasonal drinks, food, atmosphere, and staff are excellent. The food really stands out here and never disappoints. My partner and I visit often and always bring out of town visitors! I’ve been coming for three years and will continue to do so :)

Tons of seating, a hidden gem. Love the coffee and would live here if I could. The wifi work during set hours and they are communicative of that. This is probably the only con if you are looking to work or study, you just have to time it right. The food is incredible and the decor is the prettiest I’ve seen. And the patio isn’t a fake patio like some coffee shops advertise, it’s an actual patio. There’s a new serving system that helps the servers locate your table and bring your coffee and food to your table even faster. Can’t recommend enough. However if you don’t want to street park, make sure you really squint or look on the map as to where the parking lot is because it’s not very obvious at first and could probably use a bigger sign.
