Such the disappointment After years of loving & recommending this place I have to say Goodbye Goose, you probably should have ended it sooner. The rosé was served warm The items we wanted were 86’d at 6:45 on a Friday evening Our waitperson WALKED OUT mid-service The manager became flustered & was very rude to us Basically a miserable end to a wonderful place

When we arrived for our reserved time, no host/hostess was present for us to check in. However, multiple wait staff passed and let us know that someone would be with us soon. 10 minutes later, we(party of 2) were seated. We did request to sit outside, and they were happy to accommodate us. Our server was very sweet, but needed us to repeat our order several times and they were a little slow with bussing the table. The goosecakes and chilaquiles were very good, but the fried pimento cheese fritters won the ribbon!! Light and crisp on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside! Overall it was a great time! Sad to hear they are closing this location, but looking forward to Salazar reopening! Hope he takes the pimento cheese fritters onto a small plate menu at one of his other establishments!!

We were so disappointed. My husband’s burger looked pathetic on the large plate as it does not come with a side. We ordered a side of French fries a la carte but they did not come when his burger did. They did not come until after we had finished everything else. The soft drinks were flat. My chicken schnitzel was good and the highlight of the meal. Won’t be returning.

The ambiance isn’t great. We could hear a loud air conditioning unit behind us and lots of noise from the kitchen stations.

Nice evening. Think they were running a bit short staffed—didn’t receive all food ordered, and she never came back to see if we wanted another drink or check on us (or we would have shared earlier we were missing part of the order! Always get the Brussels for the appetizer—they are quite good!!

Great brunch spot. Their isn’t a lot places in the city you don’t feel rushed out during brunch. Love it the turkey monte crisco was amazing. And grits were to die for.

No matter what you to choose to eat or drink it is always pleasing and reasonably priced I can't think of anywhere else In Cincinnati that you can go and have appetizers, 2 main courses with sides ,desert and 4 adult beverages for $70 that doesn't have a drive thru and less choices

This was my first visit to this restaurant -- and it was a terrific experience in every respect! The menu is somewhat limited in scope -- but that is not a criticism. Rather, everything that my party ordered -- including three sharable appetizers and two different entrees -- was nothing short of amazing. Great food, great atmosphere and great service!
