Great ambience of a restaurant. Despite our server still being in training, she did a tremendous job talking about the food and... drinks she like and why. Staff was friendly and the food was very good. Pork loin was solid, the berries on top made the dish.The fish and chips allowed the fish to be present in the meal like it should. Read more
This place was phenomenal! The food was out of this world and the atmosphere was really nice, as well as the décor and look of... the interior. My only complaint is that the waitresses were all wearing fishnets and short plaid skirts... I get it, but in myopinion, it really clashed with the look and feel of the restaurant. I started with a cocktail called the Eye of the Storm;now, I'm a Dark and Stormy girl, but this was way better! Everything in it tasted really fresh and I couldn't stop talking aboutit to my boyfriend :) The Beer Cheese that came with our Pretzel Bites was SO good! I will say that I thought that I wasordering big pretzels, so I was a little shocked when they came out as bites. But they were still good! Our burgers were someof the best we've ever had. They were cooked perfectly (we both ordered medium) and the flavor profiles were perfect. Nocomplaints! Also, it looks like they make their own ketchup... which was also delicious! The Sticky Toffee Pudding was aperfect end to our meals. It was sweet, soft, gooey and warm with a nice scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top with caramel drizzle.Can you ask for anything better than that? If you're looking for a good restaurant in the Cincinnati, OH area, give this one ago. Read more
The bartender is super kind…nice young lady. Not her fault the the fries the advertise as being great… are from a frozen... bag!! Don’t bother. It is not her fault the the salmon sandwich came out COLD! It is however a stupid mixed drink. Advertisedas a grapefruit and basil. What is the point when the wilted basil is laid over the side of the glass. See pic. So they tookthe food back and the bun came back as cold as before. The salmon was at least warm. Had to ask for a silverware and napkin set.That sucks. Asked for a napkin and she gave be bar paper napkins. ????. No manager ever came by. Came to collect payment butdidn’t take the dirty plate away. ????. I understand it is a learning process. But will not know unless I say something. Thereare many many great places for food. This is average at the best. Read more
Fantastic passion in every bite. The bartenders are very knowledgeable in all the behind bar items. And service was... outstanding. Food was amazing.. bangers and mash were perfect! Not greasy at all. Great mash to assist the flavor. The breadboard was just splendid. Homemade breads, jam, goat cheese spread. All outstanding. Potroast was perfectly seasoned, pull apartwith a fork. Slight signs of grilling before baking.. just they way it should be done. Carrots with a touch of brown sugar arejust a bite of sweet to accompany the savory. Perfect meal. Read more
Wow, what a great dinner of Shrimp and Grits! Totally amazing, great flavor! Very surprised as being from the South finding a... place that really Hit It with the right flavor, really impressive! Bartender Abby was Excellent and willing to talk and explainthings, no rush. Great Experience and well worth the trip to Cincinnati alone! Read more
Make sure you make a reservation before. This place seemed always busy. The hostess was friendly, and nice. We were seated in... the back of the restaurant, in smaller room. The service was quick. Our server was prompt and very nice. However, she forgot ourdrinks order, which she gave us for free at the end. Our food was decent - but don't order the BBQ shrimp appetizer menu. Itdidn't taste good at all, and was pricey. We went there for my daughter's 14th birthday. Nothing was special-no free cake, noone singing happy birthday. I would say we won't go back here for 2nd. There are other places in downtown area that have betterfood and atmosphere. Read more
Nicholson's had very friendly staff and seated us right on our reservation time. The crab cakes appetizer was tasty. Our dinners... shrimp and grits, and pot roast were wonderful! The shrimp and grits were cooked and seasoned just right and the pot roast wasso moist and lean that no knife is required. Our food came out quickly too! Very enjoyable dinner at a reasonable price.
