Le Moo

★★★★☆ 4 (959) • $$$

"We went here for our anniversary and it was AMAZING! Amber was our server and she was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The gentleman filling our water glass and bussing our table was also incredibly nice. They had a small table in the corner for us with linens, champagne, and anniversary card from the staff.My husband and I both come from fine dining management and this place seems like a great operation . Overall GREAT experience! Visited 2/13/25"

Sleepy Bee Cafe - Downtown

★★★★☆ 4.2 (680) • $$

"While looking for a breakfast/brunch spot close to where I was staying, I found Sleepy Bee was close by and had great reviews. Me and a couple of my coworkers decided to come here.It wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. Everything sounded really good from the menu and looked really good from all the photos online. I got eggs, bacon, and chose to do a chocolate chip pancake on the side instead of toast. It was really good and the bacon had a sweet taste that made it so much better.Our server was nice and friendly. She gave us recommendations. The price was really good (we're coming from CA so comparing it to that). I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town."

Melt Revival

★★★★☆ 4.2 (634) • $$

"Pickiest eater ever says "10/10!"But seriously, we came here on a Sunday for their Sunday Brunch Menu, he loved the bfast burrito, I had the philly seitan cheesesteak, and our 3rd smashed the vegan bs and gs. Everyone was ridiculously nice too. Aplus."

Sleepy Bee Cafe - Blue Ash

★★★★☆ 4.1 (636) • $$

"Sleepy Bee has always been a solid choice for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I came here after a workout class with friends and had The Queen City Bee. The sweet and savory taste of the sandwich is delicious and the milk bun ties the ingredients together nicely. Our server was very helpful when we were deciding on our sides. The interior is decorated with bee merchandise with a lot of information about how important bees are for our ecosystem and food supply. The local farms and vendors were listed, as well. I liked knowing I was supporting local farms and businesses with my meal. My meal was an incredible way to start my day. I've always liked Sleepy Bee but admire them even more after learning about their dedication for giving back to our environment and saving the bees."

Taste of Belgium - Rookwood

★★★★☆ 4 (631) • $$

"Taste of Belgium has a couple locations, but I can only speak for this one as I was only in town for a weekend for a wedding. First - parking is plenty as it's located in a shopping plaza. You might have to walk a bit, but certainly not hard to find a spot. Second - even on a Saturday at 11am, it didn't take us (a party of 5) more than 10 minutes to get seated. The place is lively, but not overcrowded, and the staff was both friendly and attentive. Onto the most important part: the food! You can't go to a place with Belgium in the name and not order Belgian waffles. The waffles are pretty small in size, they aren't American-sized for sure. We had the Strawberries and Cream waffle (with additional Nutella), Goetta Hash, Breakfast Plate, Omelette, and Chicken and Waffle. All was delicious! Things to point out: the sweet waffle was about palm-sized, and 70% whip-cream with a light drizzle of whip cream and thin layer of strawberries, haha. I was fine with it because I love cream, but your mileage may vary. For the chicken and waffle, this is their most popular dish and I understand why. I do recommend having the sauces on the side so you can portion as you like - I found the hot sauce much more overpowering than the syrup. Overall, a great brunch spot!"

Big Bad Breakfast - Barret Ave

★★★★☆ 4.2 (542) • $$

"We were in town visiting with our pup and were looking for pet friendly restaurants to enjoy. It was down pouring outside when we got there and found out that our pup could dine with us inside. We were so surprised but our pup loved the experience. She sat quietly under the table and just enjoyed the folks saying hi to her and the music and lights. The staff was super friendly, and we got a few different things to try. I got a scrambler where everything was all in one vessel and it was delicious. I've never had a tomato gravy until this experience and it had a kick to it, but I enjoyed it. We will definitely be back when we're in town again!"

Porch Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (610) • $$

"I saw an article about holiday pop up bars and Porch was on the list so we checked it out! It was actually the lobby bar with the holiday selection, not the Porch but it was no biggie! We approached the bar and it was VERY busy but that did not stop the bartenders from being incredibly efficient. I approached the completely full bar and was greeted + my order taken within maybe 20 seconds. All four cocktails were then prepared within a few minutes. We were all very impressed with how quick service was. We all got seasonal cocktails, Gingerbread Old Fashioned, Peppermint Espresso Martini and the Sugar Cookie Martini. Those might not be the exact names but thats the gist of what they were. Now let me say, we were in Louisville for the bourbon trail so we had been doing a lot of drinking throughout the weekend. We had a lot of seasonal cocktails and these (all of them!) were on the top of our list! They were all so wonderful! You know when you get a drink that has an amazing description and then when you taste it, it doesn't taste like the description? Well, this wasn't the case here! Our drinks tasted just like they were described! We loved our drinks so much we considered going back to this bar again later in the night! Take advantage of their seasonal menu while you can!"

Doodles

"Fun breakfast place. Order at the counter, grab a seat and they bring it out to you. Outdoor patio is dog friendly. Had the quiche and biscuits and gravy. All delicious. Coffee was a little weak and self served."

Highland Morning

★★★★☆ 3.9 (556) • $$

"Took some out of town guests here for a late breakfast. Cute diner vibe, small and cozy restaurant. Food was very good and what I liked best is the servings were a normal size not the huge, expensive mountains of food most places now serve. I had four pecan waffles and the size was just right, fresh and tasty. Servers were pleasant and the place was clean. Lost a star because the coffee was luke warm, no matter how many times my cup was topped off the coffee was not hot."

Press on Monmouth

★★★★☆ 4.4 (435) • $$

"The food was good and fresh and the service was quick! The restaurant was neat and tidy too."

BrewRiver Creole Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (575) • $$

"10/13/2024. Visited Brew River for the first time. Service , ambiance, and food were all good. I was a bit disappointed that the cheese spread appetizer came with crackers instead of the 16 Brixx Crostini advertised on the menu, but maybe that's a Cajun thing.This place is a good choice for a nice evening out."

The National Exemplar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (440) • $$

"You just have to love the atmosphere. I have been to a number of old pubs in England and this harkens back to those days. The lobby and the restaurant are so darn comforting that I hate to leave. Mariemont, itself, is modeled after an old English village concept by Mary Emery. The Exemplar restaurant sits inside the Mariemont Inn - an old half-timbered and brick building.The food is some of the best in the area. I go often just for their omelettes and variations of eggs Benedict. I eat out almost every day and this warm, inviting, and comfortable place is on the top of my list. The quality is consistent. In addition, the wine list is varied - in a good way. I especially like the Chateau Montelena and the Super Tuscan. I strongly recommend that you give the National Exemplar a try."

Lily's - Dayton

★★★★☆ 4.1 (438) • $$

"We decided to try Lily's for brunch based on the menu, which had a lot of interesting options. I had the SLT&E and my husband opted for the omelet of the day. Unfortunately, we were both left feeling underwhelmed. The portions were smaller than expected for the price, and neither dish stood out as impressive.The service was lacking--our server was either over-taxed or inattentive. I had to get up and walk to the bar to grab a coffee refill for my husband.Also, a heads-up for anyone using a credit card: there's an additional 3% surcharge to help offset processing costs. It's not the biggest deal, but it's something to keep in mind.The atmosphere and menu have potential, but we won't be coming back. There are better brunch spots in the area that offer both great food and more attentive service."

Paco's Taqueria - Keystone

★★★★☆ 3.9 (444) • $$

"One of my favorite places for authentic Mexican food. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and The portions are huge.I ordered fish tacos and they really loaded up on the fish. Normally you get more of the "fixings" and less meat. They offer sauces from mild to spicy. The food here is reasonably priced for the amount you get.If you're on the east side check this place out!"

Cozy's Cafe & Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (391) • $$

"sunday brunch!!! the name says it all, it's a cozy little cottage though it has elevated food. great service. i should have taken a picture of the drink menu. they take pride in coming up with original cocktails. i like to try biscuits and gravy everywhere i go and these were delicious! i liked them even better than the chicken and waffles! wow!"

The Dublin Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (425) • $$

"Stopped by the Oregon District Car Show before we walked up to the St. Anne's German Fest. We decided to stop in to the Dublin Pub for lunch given the day was so beautiful Never a bad day on the patio when it's a cool mid-70s in the summer. A cold Guinness to chase some Jameson is always a good combo for some day drinking. A Reuben and Fish-n-Chips is all we needed to recharge before hitting the festival in search of a cool Stein!"

"Fantastic food! The wings were great and there is a good selection of beers. Loved that there was live music going on when we went as well. Definitely a place to visit when in Cincinnati!"

Oasis Diner

"Amazing place! Looks like I just walked into a movie! The food is delicious and the soda is the best soda I've ever tasted, and I don't drink soda often because of the nasty after taste. The food was quick to make and presented very well."

Big Bad Breakfast - Brownsboro Crossing

Merrick Inn

★★★★☆ 4.2 (265) • $$$

"Amazing birthday meal! We love Merrick. Best steak in Lexington. And we always get the wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing is absolute perfection. Our waiter was prompt and accurate. I love their updated patio area and new inside bar area - it's more casual and modern, but still charming!"

Camp Washington Chili

★★★★☆ 3.6 (338) • $

"Camp Washington is some places I always try to stop when I'm visiting or driving through Cincinnati. The food is delicious with lots of great options. The service is friendly and it is family owned. On this occasion they were filming some kind of story on this place. The interior had a retro diner feel."

Café Alma

★★★★★ 4.6 (195) • $$

"A win every single time. The service is stellar, ambiance is amazing. The food is so good, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. They also have the best croissants in all of Cincy. They have a small bar/coffee stand in the back where they also have pastries, but it is a sit down restaurant as well. Can't say enough good things about this place. Truly a hidden gem."

Grove City Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (240) • $$

"I recently discovered this incredible local brewery since moving here one month ago.They have a limited-time burger of the week and I had to try this week's: The Pizza Burger!It's incredibly delicious with a beef patty, pepperoni , a thick slice of mozzarella, pizza sauce, and herbs all on a toasted garlic brioche bun. The burger was perfectly cooked to medium temperature.I have never had fries like the ones at GCBC. They're thick like steak fries, but they have a twist; not a curl, not a spiral, a twist and the accompanying ketchup is delightfully spicy! GCBC has quickly become one of my favorite breweries with a food menu. It has plenty of open space inside and a nice patio area outside. The servers and bartender are so friendly and helpful as well.#BurgerOfTheWeek #PizzaBurger"

Brown Dog Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (356) • $$

"It was a busy Saturday night so we had to wait a little longer than usual. We got the hummus platter as an appetizer, burgers, and tofu on salad. The hummus platter is wonderful. 4 out of 5 of us enjoyed it. (My husband doesn't eat hummus.) The curried tofu on salad was filling, but I didn't expect one large piece of tofu. The guys really liked the fries - those were finished but the burgers weren't. We shared the chocolate banana bread for dessert for our daughter's Birthday. The liquid ganache in the center was a really nice touch. My daughter liked the Caramelized banana."

Sugar N' Spice

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226) • $$

"What is not to like here? A sparkly shiny chromed diner takes you back to the good old days. Once you enter you will be enthusiastically greeted and seated. The interior is very colorful with chrome and mirrors everywhere. Love the seats in pink, aqua and a light yellow. So cool. Their advertised specialty here are whispy thin pancakes. Even so I am not a huge pancake fan, I figured I'll give it a try. I ordered a combo plate which game with 2 eggs, meat of your choice and 2 pancakes. The pancakes come in several flavors and they also have a flavor of the week, which was lemon poppy when I visited. Of course I went for the lemon poppy, a decision that proved to be very delicious. My waiter was attentive without hovering. A great skill in my oppinion and much appreciated. He asked if I wanted to order anything else and then brought the check. The check was presented amidst a basket of tiny rubber duckies. Apparently you get to chose a duck to take home with you. How cute. The tough part is deciding which duck to adopt. I settled on a white dragon ducky just because. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a fun atmosphere, great food and service and of course the rubber ducky."
