    We had a great time last night (1/4/25) celebrating my husband’s birthday with friends. Our server was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The espresso martinis were delicious and we enjoyed the tomato creole soup, blue cheese chips, and shrimp cocktail. Our entrees were equally delicious and the portions were so large for the price - a great value! We got a free dessert to celebrate the birthday and the carrot cake was DEVINE. If we weren’t going out after, we definitely would have packed up the leftovers for home. We look forward to coming back soon with our kids!

    We’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!

    Amazing experience. Our server Dustin was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. From drinks to apps to desserts. We couldn’t have asked for better food or service. The manager Ashley stopped by and checked in on us and was very friendly and sweet. It’s was a nice touch. We will definitely come back to this location again. So many good things to say about this dining experience. Book your reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

    My wife and I have never had better pasta than here at Sotto. We would for sure come back next time we are in Cincy. From the beef short rib pasta, goat cheese app, the the dessert it was beyond amazing. Must try if you can make it while visiting Cincy!

    We had a delightful, delicious and unhurried dinner this evening at Boca. This was important especially because family from LA was with us, and we were given the perfect balance of careful attention and space to enjoy our company
