    It was our first visit here… we will definitely be back. The owner was actively engaged and visited every table. Food was excellent, wine list was well represented and fairly priced. This is an old restaurant with a new vibe, beautiful views and the dining experience was top notch.

    Our entire experience was wonderful - the meal was delicious and our waitress Elle couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. We visited on Valentines Day and the restaurant was fully packed and they still managed to provide an amazing meal and service. The check in host staff was a bit rude to kick things off but everything was perfect after that experience. We will definitely be back!

    Busy place so when we got there we had to wait for a table to open but we didn’t mind because we wanted a table next to the window overlooking the city of Cincinnati. Waiter Anna was excellent and made us very welcomed. Food was great. (Note, if you sit next to window seat, it gets a little chilly)

    Exquisite service from the second we walked in. This place is so special, all of the staff are so well trained and friendly. The food is interesting and very well prepared. The view is priceless. Awesome dinner for 2 by the window. Truly a Cincinnati treasure.
