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."

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!"

Mammy's Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (641) • $$

"Loved it!! Food was amazing, too much even. Service was nice, ambiance feels nice and cozy! Get the fried pickles. They're TO DIE for. I'm still thinking about it now.And thank you to the server asking if I want my Long Island "Kentucky Style""

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

★★★★☆ 4.1 (521) • $

"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."

Bandido Taqueria Mexicana

★★★★☆ 4.3 (413) • $$

"Steak Fries. Add queso. Covered in aguacate and salsa. Been a staple for years. Never disappoints."

Blue Dog Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (376) • $$

"This spot is legendary for a reason. On one side, you have an amazing selection of breads and pastries, and on the other, a cozy café perfect for brunch or lunch, complete with a small but thoughtfully curated alcohol selection featuring cocktails, wine, and beer. Heads-up: the café closes two hours earlier than the bakery, so plan your visit accordingly!Chocolate lovers, don't miss the pain au chocolat. It's buttery, rich, and pairs perfectly with a cappuccino. (I asked for a sprinkle of edible gold sugar glitter on my foam, because I am in the know--and now you are too!) If savory is more your style, go for the Jambon. Available first come, first serve with the other counter items, it's a quick fix. Featuring Broadbent ham on a mini baguette with farm-fresh butter, it's simple and decadent. For a seasonal treat, I tried the orange snowflake cookie. It was nice, but honestly, I'd recommend sticking with the gingerbread tiles. Sweet, spicy, and addictive. If you're in the mood for table service, check in with the host to sit inside or outside. On sunny days, the patio has a relaxed, European cafe vibe. On rainy days, grab a spot at the window counter for a moody cup of joe.The vibe is relaxed, yet buzzing. The staff is cool. The bread? Main character energy. It gets super busy on Fridays and Saturdays, so swing by when you have the leisure of time. You'll leave full, happy, and feeling a little dreamy."

The Fish House/Cafe Beignet

★★★★☆ 4.3 (386) • $

"Having been vegetarian for a couple decades, I had never given this place a try. But when I discovered that BJ's no longer serves baked beignets, I went on a mission to find a place that does. Fish House/Café Beignet has my beloved beignets! I'd love to have strawberry toppings added but the plain ones served here are high quality and delicious. I also tried a few sides, which were exceptionally tasty: potato cakes, bean soup, macaroni and cheese. The service is quick and friendly, and the place has a nice atmosphere and ample dining space. I will return here for the beignets and side dishes."

"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."

Biscuit Belly -  St Matthews

★★★★☆ 4.3 (228) • $$

"So had brunch today 8-2-24 with a friend and we had a great time. Food was excellent. I had the Showtime and my friend had biscuits and fruit with some powdered sugar. Great people watching. They were rocking the entire time we were there and we were almost there til close. Friendly counter service. We had barely sat down and I food was out. Go try them if you haven't."

Nellie's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (216) • $

"First time here.. there was a 10-15 min wait, but it was worth it.. the breakfast was really good. I had the fruit French toast, with a side of 1 biscuit and gravy. We also had eggs Benedict , bacon and fruit. The food came out really fast and was delicious. Would recommend, and will be back."

Great Bagel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (211) • $

"Ordered the bacon jalapeño jam bagel and a plain bagel with cinnamon honey butter. The bacon Jalapeño jam bagel was good 8/10, and the plain bagel 7/10. Good bagels , but I found it a bit too chewy. The variety of cream cheese is lacking , I wasn't wowed by it like I was in NYC @liberty bagels 11/10. Maybe I just like variety but for me it definitely wasn't as good as New York bagels by far. I wouldn't be able to tell this bagel from a bagel from krogers . They tasted the same ."

"Hummus. Eat the Hummus!! All of the food is delicious, but the hummus Our server was polite, orders were 100% accurate, and delicious. It's quaint inside and inviting."

The Hive

★★★★☆ 4.1 (205) • $$

"I needed to put in a couple hours of work in Northern Kentucky before heading to the airport and came across The Hive while searching Yelp. From the outside, it looks like a house, but on the inside is a cool vibe and atmosphere.Do you want nice breakfast options? They've got that. Do you want nice bakery options? They've got that too. Coffee options? Yup, they have them. The restaurant is downstairs and the coffee shop is upstairs.I really liked the vibe of the coffee shop! There were several seating options...a couch, comfy chairs, or sitting at a table. The art work was super cool to look at. The baristas were welcoming, and let me know that you can order off the restaurant menu and they'll bring it right to your table.Logging onto their wifi was easy...and I checked their Internet speed, over 90 Mbps, which isn't bad for a busy coffee shop. I grabbed a breakfast plate with eggs over easy, turkey sausage, hash brown potatoes, and whole wheat toast. Good to the last bite!This is a great place to work remote, work on school work, or relax with family/friends. I look forward to going back and trying other things off their menu!"

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."

Mom 'n 'em Coffee & Wine

★★★★★ 4.7 (138) • $

"I drive from Harrison to come here for breakfast and/or coffee pretty regularly. Their avacado toast is the best I've ever had. The garlic aioli on it is ridiculously good. (You can actually buy a jar of it--highly recommend.) I haven't had a bad meal, and I've tried like 4-5 different things. The staff ("Mom" who owns it with her grown kids) are hardworking, accommodating, friendly, sweet, and helpful. They're always doing yummy seasonal changes, listening to customers, and clearly put so much heart into ALL their locations around the area. "Mom" is always working on something when I'm in there. I love her energy.Oh! Also, the pastries in the case are to die for. They usually sell out, but that egg nog puff pastry they have around Christmas is fire!Great place to grab coffee and work. Lots of places to lounge and the interior has a great vibe. I've been meaning to go to their other location near me because apparently they have different menu items that are equally delicious.FOREVER a customer!"

Lisa's Kitchen

"We are from out of town and just picked somewhere to eat blindly. This place was amazing. Missy our server was awesome. I have the corned beef hash. Not from a can! It was amazing. The home fries are real potatoes. Fast, great service, and great food. Highly recommend!"

Eggs Over Frankfort

★★★★☆ 3.7 (219) • $

"We stopped here for breakfast on our way back home... let me say, the 3.5 stars for the reviews do not do this place justice! I was a little skeptical to try the place, but was so glad we did! The hostess was absolutely a gem. Super friendly, energetic, and personable! There was about a 20 minute wait for a table. We decided to grab coffee from the coffee shop next door while we waited. Espresso was great! Food: We ordered a lot of food, lol. We wanted to try literally everything. The hot cinnamon roll was to die for. 4 of us split one as an "appetizer" - it was rich, so I'm glad we split it! All of our food was fresh, hot, and had good flavor. Their homemade jelly was outstanding, and so was their biscuits!Can't wait to go back the next time we visit Louisville!"

Nation Westwood

★★★★☆ 4.2 (166) • $$

"Food and atmosphere were amazing. There was a couple that sat at the table next to us with their dogs, and we thought it was very nice how they brought bowls of water out for them. We came in just after noon with a group of 7 and didn't wait long at all to be seated. Overall, 10/10. Will definitely be back"
