We sampled the wild mushroom and goat cheese ravioli. My favorite as the wild mushroom. The sauce and the texture were perfect and very tasty. The goat cheese samples was coated in a thick sauce that complimented the goat cheese. We ordered the thick and crusty bread that was served with a pesto and herb butter. I would have liked plain butter in addition to the pesto butter. The bread was warm and precut which made it easy to tear and enjoy. He got the short rib & shrimp tortellini. The serving was extremely generous and filling. He liked his meal a lot. I had the grilled salmon with goat cheese ravioli and asparagus with a lemon butter sauce. My meal was piping hot and the portion was generous. My salmon was perfectly prepared and I enjoyed the goat cheese ravioli in the lighter lemon butter sauce. We started with a cocktail. Him the small batch old fashioned which he liked and I had the dry champagne split. Excellent serving sizes. We loved the ambiance and our server Brandy was excellent. Very familiar with the menu and gave us good feedback as we made our decisions. Jimmy gave us an outstanding tour and shared the history of the home and some of the interesting things about the beautiful home. We will definitely dine here again. We loved it.

The breaded chicken was cooked to perfection. The pasta is prepared in-house too, which makes a huge difference. All we could say the whole night was, "We will definitely be coming back here!" And I can't wait. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to find their new favorite Italian restaurant!!!

Been eyeing Pensive for a couple years and finally made it out this week with my Wife. We're eager…read moreto find a top-tier burger place in the area, though unfortunately this fell a little short of our expectations. Decided to split the Silver Charm for an appetizer, and it came about ten minutes later. The onion rings were decent, good flavor and somewhat crispy. The accompanying sauces of barbecue and ranch were both good as well, though both were missing something to elevate them a bit more I think. The flavor was good, but quite a small portion for $10. My wife ordered the Strike the Gold Burger and I went for the Northern Dancer Crispy Chicken. The sandwiches came out about ten minutes after we finished the Silver Charm, which was perfect timing. She liked her burger pretty well, and I took a bite too. The "caramelized onions" were definitely more sauteed, with still a bit of crunch, and otherwise I could really only taste the barbecue sauce, which was tasty, but I would have liked some more varied flavors. My chicken sandwich was... a bit disappointing. Rather than a chicken piece that appropriately fit the bun, it was more of a chicken strip, with bites that would only yield bun. In addition, because the chicken piece was so small, it was also extremely dry, which is a bummer because I actually thought the breading was very tasty. The chipotle aioli was decent, but didn't pack as much spice or flavor as I was hoping. And with only two toppings and a sauce on the whole sandwich, I was disappointed that the tomato was rather mushy and didn't seem fresh. I will say the fries that came with our sandwiches were crisp and well seasoned, and somewhat unfortunately the best part of my meal. Based on our experience, I didn't hate our dinner here and if someone invited me to meet them here, I wouldn't say no, but I'm also not going out of my way to revisit.

A (22oz) tall boy, Fried pickles, 12ct wings and a double baked potato. I mean, "I was ready!" I had noticed a miner lag for my first beer and pickle appetizers. Later I was informed that the apologies were dear and that she was undertaking a hit and low on hands. Ones service can make or break a review so, be patient.

Everything comes out hot and fresh, which makes a big difference. Of course, Twin Peaks is known for its ice-cold beer, and they live up to that reputation.

Service can vary depending on how busy it is, but overall it's usually friendly and attentive, even during peak hours.

If you prefer a quieter setting, then eating in the bar is your best bet because the dining rooms do get loud. We started with the east/west coast oysters and they were so fresh. The passion fruit mignonette was the perfect compliment. I kept scooping out tiny spoonfuls and drinking it after we finished the oysters. The Fluke Crudo was fantastic. The combo of flavors and textures was a delight for the palate. The scallops over the miso leek risotto was one of the best scallop dishes we have ever eaten. The scallops were huge and cooked perfectly and there were plenty of pieces of leek in a lovely, smooth risotto. We're not a fan of hijiki, so the chef prepared the risotto without it - Thanks Chef Jose! And you would think chicken schnitzel would be basic, but not this dish. The chicken was so moist, perfectly seasoned, and pan fried in butter. We asked for the sauce on the side because we knew we wouldn't finish the big piece and wanted to heat it up later and still be crispy (which we did). We were amazed that eating the chicken, almond, asparagus, and some sauce in one bite, was SO good. The best two meals we have had in Cincinnati so far in 2026 have been here, and Mita's. Chef Jose is a real talent.

Loved seeing some menu throwbacks to the previous restaurant. The rigatoni, beets, bread service, squash & fish were all delicious. We only had two sour notes all night - celebrating a birthday (directly told our server when she asked), and no birthday dessert was offered. Normally wouldn't expect that, but TWO tables next to us got a cake slice with a candle. It felt a bit rude to have our special night missed when others were acknowledged. Our table ended up ordering the chocolate cremeux which had the worst, over-smoked ice cream flavor any of us ever experienced -- mother of god. Not sure why that exists.
