Best Seafood Restaurants in Norwood

We decided to let Seasons 52 cook for our small family’s Thanksgiving this year for the second year in a row. We really like how the regular menu is available as well as the traditional Thanksgiving meal, so everyone got to order what they wanted. The Thanksgiving meal was plentiful and delicious and as always so were the other entrees selected. They handled the crowd with efficiency and an abundance of good cheer. And hospitality. We are grateful for the staff giving up their holiday to make ours enjoyable. Thank you all.

I’ve been to the Rubys location downtown a few times and was disappointed in the service and quality both times going.. the precint did NOT disappoint! Everything came out on time and hot and delicious. I will say the salads are a little heavy on the dressing but overall it was a 10/10. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was incredible. Will be back !

Exquisite experience. We booked here for my mother’s birthday. The thoughtful gestures started at the door. This was our first time here, parking was easy and signage made way finding a breeze. My mother (72) joked, ‘it’s my 29th birthday!’ Every staff member we passed wished her a happy birthday. What a special gesture! They seated us at the best table, stunning view of the city. Jonathan and Reggie spoiled us. Our water and wine were constantly filled. Great overview of the menu and recommendations. We were a group of 6. I got the filet minion Oscar style. The steak cut like butter, I typically go for medium but went with the chefs recommendation of medium rare and I’m glad I did. It was perfect. There was live music that night. Great singer with classic rock hits. At the end of dinner, the fried ice cream came out with a candle and “happy 29th birthday!” How sweet! And after the musician came over and serenaded my mother. Thank you for a great great night. One for the books.

I cannot say enough about our experience last night. Erick and Kumar did such an amazing job and never left us wanting. Big shoutout to Chef Tone and the rest of the culinary team as all of our food was on point! Thank you for such an incredible evening. We will definitely be back!

Everything about Alara wowed us! One of my dearest friends was in town to visit and we are both foodies! I had heard great things about Alara from other friends, so we decided to try it. I'm so glad we did. The valet parking is so nice, especially since the weather was snowy the night we dined. The atmosphere is elegant and beautifully done. No detail was overlooked. The service was impeccable. Askia, our server, was delightful...so knowledgeable. Everything he suggested was outstanding. We ordered a bottle of wine to complement our dinner choices and that enhanced the meal even more. Portions are large and perfect for sharing. I took home quite a bit for leftovers which was a huge bonus. If you love beets, the beet and goat cheese salad is a must! For our entrees, we chose the Lobster & Butternut Squash Carbonara and Seared Sea Scallops with Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash as our vegetable side dish. All were exceptionally prepared. The Carbonara had a very generous amount of lobster so you got some in every bite! Askia recommended we save room for dessert, and I'm glad we did. We had the Creamsicle Cloud and Chocolate Espresso Torte. The Cloud was the most beautiful dessert I've ever seen and it was equally light and elegant. The Torte was beyond rich and decadent. The Prisoner bottle of wine was delicious with the entire meal, but especially that rich chocolate dessert. Cincinnati is fortunate to have some fabulous restaurants, and Alara is one of them. It is a must for a special occasion or an evening of pampered perfection.
