The food was alright. When you spend almost $60 for an 8oz filet you want there to be good flavor and it was only slightly better than not needing a steak sauce of some kind. Desserts are on the smaller portion size, but their appetizers were pretty good. We had the meatballs and chips and dip. Service seems lack luster for the price you're being charged, but no one was rude just didn't check on drinks very frequently. Probably won't be back just because the experience didn't match with the cost.
If you are looking for a nice date night this isn’t the place. We can start with the food. My steak was so tough (cooked medium) I think I am still chewing it over 12 hours later. The loaded baked potato seemed old and when it was topped with half frozen sour cream it really made it an instant classic. The atmosphere was horrible. There is zero dress code. Hats, hoodies, etc. The entire dinner we were blessed to experience a non stop exploitive filled conversation from two younger guys. It got to the point that they were watching videos on their phones so loud we couldn’t even hear or own conversations. When I politely asked them if they could please turn the volume down I was greeted with some very choice words and even threatened by both of them. During our whole dinner not a single person who worked there was interested in asking them to respect the other diners nor said anything to them when they threatened me in the restaurant as well as then right out front where all the valet is while waiting for our car. Best way to spend a couple hundred dollars!!! Save yourself and go outside of the city.
Service was fantastic Willy was attentive and very helpful. Food sucked. Bland and lacking flavor. The salad looked dead. Sad. Lacking. I appreciate lack of dressing but this has nothing but a wilted lettuce and unidentifiable tomato, on second thought, maybe it was a pepper. I dunno. It was that bad. The Short rib was not pretty. Presentation was not considered. The food was wet and somewhat warm. Short rib needed salt and fat. Bourbon sauce lacked any flavor.
Outstanding ! Had a Filet that was beautifully cooked. Mario and Nicole made sure we had Rockstar service. We did not have dessert, but it looked amazing.
Lovely restaurant in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. Stopped by on a Sunday evening didn’t have any reservations but they were able to get us in. Sat by the bar area by the window, was such a beautiful and quiet evening. Waiters was quick and attentive. Very clean, food was delicious. It was so good we came back a second time! Service was still amazing. Please keep up the good work.
