    Lovely time. Always a nice experience being at the Melting pot. I didn't realize the fix menu for valentine had extra fees in it depending on probably the dessert. It is a bit pricey for it, but the ambiance makes up for it!

    This remains our absolute favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. We had Tuna trio, Seabass, mousse in chocolate shell and my husband had paella. Every bite was scrumptious with the best flavoring. Our pear and Manhattan martinis were also fabulous. The waiter was beyond the best as we celebrated year 55 of engagement. He recognized it, had a card and rose for us and a free dessert. What a wonderful dining experience.

    A group of Cincinnati friends meet here for lunch every February because we know we can count on easy reservations, good seating, great food and better service. This year was no different. I am a little concerned about your new policy of requiring a credit card for a reservation and the server told us he was only supposed to do 4 checks per table. He did do separate checks for us this time….but if that becomes a firm requirement, we may have to find another place. The 22% gratuity is reasonable and should be enough to cover separate checks. And most of us added an extra tip too.
