Oriental Wok - Ft.Mitchell, KY
Price: Moderate•Chinese•4.9(1,145)In November 1977, Helen And I opened Oriental Wok pursuing our American Dream. We poured our hearts into this business, meeting great customers along the way. Now, I am proud to call many of you my friends. Your support and friendship for nearly 50 years have meant so much to me and my family.
With so many restaurant choices, I am honored each time you visit Oriental Wok. Thank you for celebrating all the big and small occasions with us throughout the years. My family and I look forward to sharing more great food and laughter with you for years to come.
Truly,
Mike and Helen Wong
Susanna, Angela, Guy and TravisBOCA
Price: Very Expensive•Contemporary European•4.9(6,159)Boca is Chef David Falk's ode to Europe. It is a one of a kind dining experience marrying world-class, chef driven cuisine with gracious service. Boca's design couples contemporary European and American stylings with touches of rusticity in an airy urban space. The elegant and inviting surroundings welcome guests for an afternoon cocktail, a small bite before a great show at nearby theaters, a casual dinner with friends, or a luxurious night out.
Sotto
Price: Very Expensive•Italian•4.9(8,242)It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It’s undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.

Price: Moderate•French•4.9(675)Colette is a ‘Mostly French’ restaurant by the award-winning Chef Danny Combs. Located across the street from Washington Park and Music Hall, Colette is a playful take on French cuisine. From Paris to Montreal to Morocco, Colette draws a line from France to its many constellations. Their cuisine is rooted in classic technique, enlivened by a global perspective, and executed by an award-winning team.
Coldwater Cafe
Price: Expensive•American•4.9(3,177)This restaurant housed in a former bank building in the heart of downtown Tipp City offers quality dining in a small-town setting. The decor is warm and welcoming and is a delight for the senses. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere while the full bar allows patrons a relaxing stop while awaiting a fabulous meal. The inviting atmosphere encourages relaxed conversation. You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice. A visit is a must and will be the first of many.The Baker's Table

In 2019 the restaurant was named one of the Best New Restaurants in America by both EATER.com and USAToday.com. With extensive free parking available, and only a 6 minute drive from downtown, Baker's Table is an oasis of urban dining in historic Newport, Kentucky.

Discover Cincinnati – Dayton
German heritage shines through Cincinnati’s dining culture, but recently the city’s been heating up with creative new cuisine, too. Cincinnati’s own Chef Jose Salazar was shortlisted for a James Beard Award, bringing national attention to an Ohio outlier. A new crop of farm-to-table European restaurants have been entering the scene as well. Downtown, you’ll find burger restaurants, bars, and upscale bistros. An hour’s drive to Dayton places you in the heart of a growing music scene, and the city is the unofficial funk capital of the country. We’ll cheers to that.
