The views are absolutely breathtaking. The restaurant, located on the 18th floor, features floor-to-ceiling windows and revolves, completing a full rotation in about 90 minutes. That's really what you're paying for. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The service was pleasant. With such incredible views, it's disappointing that the menu and food don't match the setting--this place has the potential to offer an unforgettable dining experience.3- stars for quality of food 4 stars service5 stars for the views from the 18th floor

If you want mediocre food at a very high price, with slow unhappy service, in a restaurant that doesn't revolve (that's supposed to). This is the place to go. Upon arrival, the hotel lobby smelled like there was a weed convention was in progress. We got upstairs and the lobby smelled like sewer gas, not a great start. We had 7pm reservations. We were seated about that time. We were told on the way to our table that the revolving part of the operation was broken, bummer. The place is mostly empty. Once seated, we were given water, but our server didn't come around for another 15 minutes or so. We ordered a wedge salad for $10, about the size of my palm, but tasted ok We also got the french onion soup, which wasn't bad but wasn't a $9 soup. Our entrees were a rack of ribs (with lobster mac and cheese as the side) and chicken carbonara. The ribs were a decent portion, but they were dry. You can tell these are the frozen/precooked and warmed ribs. Taste was ok, but nothing special. I paid extra for the lobster mac/cheese, thiis was HOT and the portion was fair, but I'm pretty sure it was just Velvetta Shells and cheese. Anyway, the lobster part consisted of 5 tiny chunks of lobster that had ZERO flavor. The chicken Carbonara was actually good, not a real carbonara, but had good flavor and a lot of chicken (for my money tho it isn't a $23 plate).We did order desserts as well, a chocolate cake which wasn't bad but not special, and the same can be said for the cheesecake.Total bill $111.83We saw our server 4 times over the 90 minutes there. The other staff (with the exception of 1 young man) seemed like they were forced to be there.If you are going, the view is nice. Don't get your expectations up, it's not fancy (its Covington fancy). This restaurant's better days have gone by. I hadnt been there in 25 years, boy things have changed. I can honestly say say that this will likely be my last time here.

My generous & kind daughter & son-in-law brought me here for brunch. We had a reservation but still waited 15 minutes past our reservation time. Once seated, our helpful server guided us through the process. I had an omelette made for me but it was meh. Wondering if they used egg substitute instead of real eggs. The prime rib was average. Loved the cheese bites. The tossed salad was average. The red velvet cake was very dry. The cheesecake was meh. I liked the smoked salmon & the baked salmon was good also. I just expected so much more for the price. The ambiance of a rotating restaurant is unique. I'm sure that's the big draw here.

You're paying for the novelty and the view, let's just get that out of the way. View is great and they have little plaques on the windows to tell you what you're looking at. They may or may not be accurate- looking at you Goebels park named after the shortest serving governor in KY, elected in 1899 and assassinated in 1990. We went for brunch today. They have prime rib in the menu. They might as well not. It's flavorless and cold. The brunch items were varied, but all of it was cold and stale. To be fair, we did not try the made to order items, so that may be where the magic is. The cocktails were great, excluding the French 75. That was awful. Manhattans and the espresso type martini were great though. The dessert, a chocolate cheesecake, was quite decent and went well with the manhattan as we finished our round the world tour. All in all, I wouldn't go back as I'm still in need of lunch, but for an amusement ride I recommend. If you can avoid eating and just get some cocktails and take the ride, do that. No issues with the service, everyone was kind and prompt.

A rotating restaurant on the top floor of the Radission provides a wonderful view of Cincinnati. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The food menu had lots of options as well as different beers and cocktails to enjoy. The star here is the view, we almost made it completely around during our dinner. When you pass by certain windows there are plaques to show you what you're looking at. We had wonderful service and a great visit.

I hate to post this after I've heard so many good things about the brunch.But here is my experience.... First if you have food allergies, just say no. Nuts are located in like two spots and I got sick because of cross contamination. They have a lot of breakfast choices but none of the eggs seem to be whole eggs, just egg mix and lots of carb items.We were seated in a section with no server, so that was disappointing since we had a hard time getting anyone to bring us drinks. Everyone was friendly but the lack of organization was disappointing. Over $40 a person for the brunch, which is what I paid for an all you can eat seafood buffet in Myrtle beach.

Been here a couple times for big anniversaries and it never fails to disappoint! The services is extremely high class and it makes me feel so fancy. The food is wonderful and the views can't be beat. I've had a pasta and steak dish and both were delicious.

View was amazing. About 1.5 hours to rotate 360 degrees. Seated fairly quickly. Lighting pretty dim so nice for mood but hard to read informational plates of what you see out each window. I ordered the 10 oz new york strip steak with lobster mac n cheese. The steak had too much fat and gristle thus only about half of steak was edible. The mac n cheese was pretty good.

Had Thanksgiving Dinner here and it was amazing. Everything from scrambled eggs to prime rib, fresh seafood to turkey and dressing, baked salmon to pork loin and a dessert table big enough to get lost in. The food was delicious. The view from the revolving restaurant is unparalleled! Highly recommend
