Mid City Restaurant

There's something undeniably special about MidCity--a level of care, class, and respect that turns every visit into something personal. This isn't just a bar; it's a crafted experience, an effortless balance of precision and warmth. From the first pour to the last sip, the team--whose dedication mirrors that of their sister bar, Longfellow--delivers excellence with ease.Last night was no exception. Thoughtfully curated cocktails, a menu that speaks with purpose, and a staff that makes you feel seen--MidCity doesn't just serve drinks; they elevate the standard. Cincinnati is lucky to have this place.

The food was absolutely delectable! I got bone in wings, and bbq chicken flatbread. I was smiling from cheekbone to cheekbone after this meal. Came in hangry left a whole different person. This place is a mood changer and taste bud pleaser. The ambiance is warm, friendly, and cozy. The service is excellent and fast. I highly recommend if you want a meal that will make you smile and a memorable vibe.

The server greeted us immediately with a smile, water and menus. He share their specials of the day, took our drink orders and food orders. My husband and I tried cocktails - we enjoyed them. There weren't a lot of choices for someone who doesn't eat meat - I don't. I got the fried sandwich. Our children got the burgers, sweet potato fries - and thoroughly enjoyed them. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly.

My daughter and I tried multiple dishes and here is my review. The salad and fries were excellent. Rabbit was not braised long enough to develop flavor depth or cook until tender. The potato accompaniment to the rabbit was over salted but good attempt. The potato salad was as described and overall good. The peanut butter burger patty was good but overworked like the meatball of the skewer so they were dense and a bit chewy. The cabbage under the meatball needed more time to develop sweetness, it was closer to slaw texture and taste. The grilled bread was good as was the pickle butter. Don't get the smelt if you are turned off by very fishy fish...that fish we did not eat outside of one bite. Baked Alaska was okay; very burnt marshmallow taste left on palate. Mushroom dish with greens was great though super salty. The mock tails were excellent and service was attentive though did not inquire about the quantity of untouched dishes or barely touched dishes when clearing. The concepts were there but the execution was not there food wise for me...It was a cold night and our two top was next to a window and we were cold. I actually started shivering. Overall 125.00 was our bill with 2 mock-tails. Probably won't return for food but maybe to get drinks. Parking was available in pay spots outside restaurant had to drive around the block two times only until a spot opened up.

Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is very cozy. It felt like walking into a modern German pub with the intimate seating, decor and overall charm. Our waiter was friendly and was happy to talk about the menu with us. The menu is pretty limited & is mostly shareable. We ordered the salad, petite filet, crab burger, and sweet potato fries which was a good amount of food for the 2 of us. Everything was good but we liked the crab burger best. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but we aren't dying to go back for the food. I'd recommend going with a group and ordering the entire menu.

Headline - The food was really good. The service was bizarrely bad?? Went to brunch on Saturday at Mid City. Didn't realize when I made the reservation that the place opened at 11:30. Seems like a late start for brunch. We ordered cocktails. The Bloody Mary was solid, made with Clamato juice, with nice pickle flavor. The coffee milk cocktail with bourbon was basically an Irish coffee. Would have been nice if it was served with ice. Our server was pretty disinterested. Couldn't hear what he was saying and not very friendly. It was actually pretty weird. The food was bomb. Sweet potato fries were salty and sweet. The shishito peppers were sick with the tempura batter light and crispy. The fried egg sandy was a surprise for me. Flavors were crazy, and unlike something I've ever had. Manchego cheese was dope. I'm a biscuit and gravy fanatic and these were unlike anything I've ever had. Served on a zucchini cornbread with a super peppery gravy. The restaurant is beautiful. Love the design choices they made. Sat in the bar area and it looks like an awesome bar to belly up to. Wanna go back for dinner.

Cute little restaurant with homey vibes and elevated American style food. I've been meaning to try this place for a while, so I'm glad we finally made it in!They take reservations through Resy, which I don't use very much, so we tried walking in on a weeknight and were lucky enough to get a table. My Tom Collins was nice and refreshing and their bread with the pickle butter was delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger, and my salad wasn't bad. Their menu is a little eclectic, so it's worth checking out ahead of time to make sure you'll find food you like.Over all a nice experience, but not sure there were enough food options we're interested in for us to come back and try something different we think we'd like.

Food: 5/5- I was hesitant about the Bok Choy but ended up really enjoying it. Crisp and refreshing! Never thought tahini would be a combo that works but it's so good! - I'm still thinking about the Mushroom in Foil. Super savory and packed with flavor. The lightly sautéed green added a nice texture contrast on top.- Tofu was a little over battered but the sauce made up for it!Total pre tip: $70 (including 2 cocktails, 2 desserts, and toasted bread - such an amazing deal!!) Service: 4.5/5- Friendly staff that answered all our questions.Ambiance: 4/4- Cute and snug! 100% coming back again! Give it a try :)

What a gem. We split a really nice array of small plates -- the mushrooms in foil with broth (get the grilled bread - you will definitely want to dunk it in that broth), the smelt, the mid-city plate (the best Avril sausages), the tempura poblano. Every dish was worth getting and I left with intent to return and try the rest (although I will want to get some repeats too, argh). Very nice bar as well. I had a solid good Manhattan. Cost was super fair for what we had - I think lit a bargain, frankly.Parking is actually plentiful and right outside: street at meters or there is a nice lot sort of attached to the rear of the restaurant (the corner of Central Parkway and Walnut).

Great variety of tapas...all very good! Nice ambiance! The only negative if anything is if you are particular about wine varietals, it is limited...
