  Was there for an anniversary dinner. The food was delicious but our server, Jennifer, made our experience better than we could have imagined. Very friendly with a bubbly personality.

  I love it! The best restaurant in Cincinnati in my POV. Great beers, amazing food (super tasty) and a perfect Service (Jennifer K. was very kind and gave excellent recommendations).

  We came here for our anniversary and it was perfect! The hostess was so friendly and our server, Jennifer was amazing. The drinks were great and we shared the experience for two and it was beyond delicious! Officially our favorite place to celebrate. Thank you again Jennifer for everything!

  A nice place but overpriced for sure. $300+ for 3 of us with a shared appetizer and dessert and 3 drinks. At this price I would expect white table cloth service and what we experienced was more like Applebee’s service. It wasn’t bad but it certainly didn’t live up to the price. For one, they sat us at a bar table even though we had a reservation a week in advance. Server was slow to greet us and although he was friendly he didn’t really take the time to engage. The Empanada trio was delicious but after clearing the appetizer plates the bus person told us to save our silverware even though we asked if it would be refreshed for our entrees. So we laid our used silverware down on the bare wooden table top for the next course. Yuck! We had the Coulette Pichana steak (which the server couldn’t explain), the Lobster Ravioli and the Short Rib Gnocchi. Everything was delicious although greatly overpriced. Drinks were slow to come to the table when we first arrived. Several dark TVs at the bar led us to believe they didn’t work and took away from making the atmosphere livelier. It’s hard to recommend against this restaurant since the food was so good but we know there are many other options in the area for better value and better service. We dined at The Eagle the next night and absolutely loved it (great food and value).

  We had dinner at the Butcher and Barrell in downtown Cincinnati while in town to watch the Lions defeat the Bengals and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! They have a large variety of meat cuts and old fashioned cocktails to choose from. The Australian Waygu steak was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the smashed redskin potatoes with goat cheese!
