Overlook Kitchen + Bar

Stayed at the hotel for a friends wedding and decided to eat here. Tried this place TWICE and both times is did not impress. Service is slow. Came for dinner the first night towards the end of service and the server straight up told us he hasn't worked in 4 weeks and didn't know the menu. Then proceeded to tell us we have 5 mins to order to disappear and not even take our drink orders. Had to ask the bartender to find our server so we can order. It was also empty and we were put in a dark corner instead of a well lit table. For the price, the flavors were ok. Maybe because it was the end of service but it wasn't anything spectacular. We were rushed out and told if we wanted to stay to hang at the bar which we ended up doing. The next morning we went for brunch. Went maybe 30 mins into service to find no one in the restaurant. Thought we read the sign wrong but we were right. It took over 20 mins to get the server to get our drink orders (just an AJ and coffee) then ordered our breakfast which took another 30 mins to come out for it to be cold. I had the steak and eggs: asked for medium rare, got it blue and cold. Was never asked how I wanted my eggs and those were also cold. Only hot thing on my plate was the potatoes. Friend also ordered waffles that were cold and dry so we knew the food was sitting out for a while before it came to our table. Disappointed with the service when the hotel and concierge were really nice.

Overlook Kitchen + Bar The breakfast bar is fantastic! Basically every item you could ever want is available and always delicious. The omelettes, smoked salmon, fresh fruit and pastries are yummy. The bacon is crisp and made to perfection. Service is outstanding as well. Outside seating is available with excellent views.

Went here for Easter brunch. It was very enjoyable. Cost 40 dollars a person. Had a good assortment of options from a pasta station, 2 salads, smoked salmon and shrimp, fruit, cheeses, prosciutto, french toast with peach compote and more. I have a piture of menu. For meats they had lamb, prime rib, salmon, chicken veal short rib and plenty of desserts. Wide open and good view. Good service.

We visited the Overlook for carry out during Cincy Wing Week and tried their "everything wings" that are normally on the menu and a Korean BBQ feature that I think was a special offering for wing week. We aren't dining in anywhere due to the pandemic right now, but I'm looking forward to getting back to this place. Don't be scared that it's on the 4th floor of a hotel. Free parking in the garage and a quick elevator trip. Plenty of outdoor space at this spot makes me want to go back for drinks in the warmer weather. The total surprise was the Everything wings. Tossed in a mustard aioli and topped with everything bagel seasoning, I didn't expect to like these. I like my wings like they like them in Buffalo! But these were a very happy surprise. Tangy and rich, they were a great contrast to the sweetness of the BBQ wings. I'm interested to try more off this menu.

I placed a takeout order for the Russet Potato Gnocchi. The service was great. The workers all were incredibly friendly and my order was warm and ready right as I got there. They even threw in a complimentary drink.The gnocchi was a perfect portion, and the vegetables in it were fresh and well cooked. The sauce for the gnocchi was a bit spicy, but overall a great dish that I would order again.

Great spot for a lunch break If you're in the area! I would love to see more vegetarian friendly options on the rotating menu. The salads are delicious however! The space overlooks the long stretched rooftop and Madisonville scenery.

I had a great dinner here and hope more people try this place because I honestly feel like it's an overlooked restaurant (pun intended)! It's in the Summit Hotel so you can walk through the hotel and see some cool art on your way up to the restaurant. The restaurant is on the 4th floor, but there's 9 floors, so I was kind of confused why they didn't put the restaurant at the top. But all of their (huge) event space is on the 4th floor, so maybe that's why. My friends and I came here on a Wednesday night at 7:30 for Cincy Wing Week, which was also the night of the huge snowstorm. When we walked in, there 3 people having drinks at the bar, and a completely empty restaurant. Such a bummer, because the space is huge, so maybe the snow scared people away? They have an extensive craft cocktail menu, and we were all very happy with the drinks we ordered. They also have a decent selection of local craft beer.We ordered quite a few items off the menu and loved everything we had! Tots + dip - these were awesome. They are similar to a small hashbrown and so good!Butternut squash soup - super flavorful and deliciousEverything wings - again, awesome! They're served with a mustard aioli that offsets all the everything spices nicely.Roasted brussels sprouts - these come topped with caesar dressing, breadcrumbs, and parmesan. The caesar dressing isn't overpowering and the brussels sprouts are perfectly roasted.My friends had the seared salmon and smash burger and they said the fish and burger were cooked perfectly.I would definitely come back here to try more items!

My mom and I met up for dinner for a ticketed "starving artists hospitality" event, where they offered a prix fixe menu from a visiting chef group.First things first - the space is beautiful, the open kitchen is awesome, the tables and plates and overall ambiance has a casual, cool, upscale vibe. Tables are appropriately spaced, guests and staff are wearing masks, it feels safe, without feeling isolated.When we got there for the dinner we were seated and greeted by a waitress almost immediately, she took drink orders and our appetizer order. We opted for separate appetizers, myself the soup, my mother the salad. Her wine and diet coke came by a separate server very quickly, as did our amuse bouche - a plate with a few slices of chorizo and pickled veggies. The pickling was aggressive, with no flavor, and seemed a "quick pickle" that didn't really soften the harder carrots, like at all. Chorizo is nice enough, if a little heavy in the mouthful. This dish didn't do anything positive for me, but I also wasn't expecting it so no real harm.While dropping off our appetizers the waitress asked us for our entree orders, so we've been served two courses and ordered the third within 15 minutes of sitting down. It felt a little rushed. Our salad and soup were both great, and came out almost immediately after the amuse bouche. The vegetarian pozole had good flavors, lots of veggies, both plusses. Salad was a bit overdressed and acidic, but it also made the raw kale much more digestible and combatted the bitterness that can come from raw greens. We're looking back up!Entree, again almost immediately after clearing our plates, they're moving fast. A pretty small piece of mahi, which disappointed me. I recognize at $40/3 courses I wouldn't be getting a LARGE piece of fish, but this was smaller than I expected. Fortunately, the cook and execution of every aspect of the plate was top notch. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and accompanied with some incredible blue corn grits, the entrees only failure was in it's size. Maybe I'm a glutton, but as I finished and was still hungry, I spent some time sitting thinking "Man I want more of that." And I spent quite a bit of time sitting too, because after the breakneck pace of the first 30 minutes of our meal, we were seemingly forgotten. One person from the visiting chef group came by, but he didn't notice or offer to replace our drinks, which had long since emptied. When we did flag a waitress they took our plates, asked for our dessert order, and promised our refills.Literally 30 minutes later our to-go beignets arrived, just as our refills did. While the waitress did apologize, and I recognize that they're probably running with an absolute skeleton crew due to pandemic staffing (fewer people minimizes spread), it was jarring after feeling shoved along at every step prior. Mistakes happen, they were gracious in the commission of said mistakes, and the meal was overall enjoyable enough that I know I'll be returning. Hopefully to a bigger piece of fish next time.Between the two experiences this one was probably closer to a 4, but the first experience was a 6, so I'm keeping it.

Went here for a nice lunch. Food was overpriced for the quality. We got the wings and bread with mushrooms to start. Both okay, not amazing. I got the quinoa and arugula salad. Was disappointed by the small amount of toppings, as most of it was just arugula. The chicken I got with it was weird too..? Not even close to worth $20. And I don't recommend eating outside if you aren't a fan of bees flying around you and your food. Our server was nice. However it took absurdly long to receive our entrees. While my brother was still finishing his food, a young lady approached us saying she's here to take out plates. Looking at him like he needed to hurry up, even though there was only one other outdoor table. We also had to ask for the check. Overall it was fine, but will not be returning for lunch at least. Especially with the very limited menu.

Love the breakfast buffet, all you can eat! They have a variety of fruit and the biscuits and gravy is phenomenal for someone who isn't usually a fan of that.
