The service is really good. Seated promptly, waters come out promptly, minor order modifications handled easily. We have really enjoyed the variety of food. My husband loves the salads and the bowls and pizzas are also good. Probably the favorite entree we have had is the fish and chips. We find the drinks particularly reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. We really like the blueberry one. The space is sunny and open. We have been with our kids and see lots of friendly groups dining there. Free parking in the garage is another plus.

I ordered the miso salmon and it was really good - everything was seasoned so well that I enjoyed the cauliflower (which I usually hate). Really nice flavor, salmon cooked perfectly.

It's a family-run spot inspired by their grandfather's bakery and Italian culture, truly living up to their motto of being "not just a café, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically Italian." We ordered the Crostone, an assortment of Italian breads featuring different toppings. One with fresh salmon cream and Asiago cheese, and another with roasted cherry tomatoes and stracchino, along with their Bufalina pizza. For drinks, we tried the Mokaccino Ferrero Rocher and their seasonal Arancia Nutella Latte. Everything was delicious and made for a great lunch. Definitely stop by and check them out for a unique café experience!

Our food came right away while our friends in the larger table took a long time. Arianna was our server and she was excellent. Attentive but didn't hover. I got the Fajita Bowl with chicken, hubby got Alfredo Bowl with chicken and two little garlic breads. Another got Fried Fish and fries. So hubby said his Alfredo had good flavor, chicken was cooked nicely, but the garlic bread was hard as a rock. He said the sauce was thick and wished it was a little creamier. Mine tasted good, had a nice blend of corn, black beans, red peppers and chicken was perfect. The only thing I would add would be some salsa. Our friends enjoyed their food as well. They have a really nice rooftop seating area as well as patio seating. It was raining so we sat inside and it was clean and comfortable.

It seemed like there may have been a misunderstanding--he was simply trying to learn about the ingredients since he's health-conscious, but didn't receive a clear answer. A small suggestion would be to take an extra moment to clarify customer questions, especially around ingredients, so guests feel fully heard and acknowledged. Aside from that, it was an overall pleasant and decent experience.

But the person with me had a chicken dish and theirs was really great. Dessert was phenomenal! I will definitely be giving them another try.

Cincinnati Burger Week brought us in for dinner!…read more I have to admit, I was a little confused by the vibe of the place. I couldn't tell if it wanted to be a restaurant, a bar, or just a neighborhood hangout... it felt like a little bit of everything. It wasn't dirty, but it definitely looked like it could use a good deep cleaning. Also, the light directly above our table flickered on and off during our entire meal. It was incredibly distracting. Someone please call an electrician! Our server, Gabby, was pleasant enough, but the service didn't really stand out. We were there for almost two hours and never received a single water refill. Maybe it's because we only ordered one beer, but I still expected a little more attentiveness. Now for the food... I ordered the All American Burger. The highlight was definitely the beef and you could tell it was fresh and good quality. Unfortunately, the rest of the burger didn't come together for me. The toppings and flavors just didn't mesh the way I expected. The fries, however, were delicious! Overall, the meal was just... okay. I wouldn't say it was bad by any means, but it also wasn't memorable enough to have me rushing back.

My friend started with calamari, served on a bed of Asian slaw. The rings were tender and tasty, and nicely complemented by the slaw. The soup du jour was shrimp bisque, which I eagerly ordered. I wish it hadn't been completely pureed, because I like bits of shrimp in it, but it was still excellent, tasting of shrimp, cream, and delicate seasonings. Moving on, he had the meatloaf, and we both liked it. I had the day's special of my favorite fish - halibut. It was perfectly seared, sitting in a pool of browned butter sauce and garnished with pine nuts, all accompanied by tasty spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. We each enjoyed a slice of carrot cake for dessert. I definitely don't intend to let 7 years slip by before I return, especially since the specials of the day kept me from trying the Kenwood salad and red wined braised short rib. I almost forgot to say that Wendy gave us flawless service, and showed us an alternative exit that didn't make me return across the rough stone floor with my walker.

I recently had an issue with a local restaurant where the owner berated me for a mistake they made so this was such a breath of fresh air. I'm a faithful customer and I'll continue to come back. Excellent place for my family. P.S. the Kenwood salad, enchiladas, fish sandwich, and margherita salad add prosciutto are some of my favorites! Honestly everything on the menu is good, you won't be disappointed.

They don't give anything out like numbers but a device that looks like you would get when you are on a wait list and the lights would go off. Well to my surprise they use it for your table location which they bought my fries out first and dropped them off at the table. The food came out shortly after that. Everything was good and surprisingly barramuñdi filet was delicious. Never had it before. The first with the aioli was good and the wife enjoyed the pizza. It doesn't have waitresses so you have to get your own refills. We definitely go back when I am at the mall.

Sharing the scrumptious chocolate cake was the perfect finish, and we'll be enjoying a bottle of Scarletto at home later. The atmosphere is as advertised--not the place for cozy conversation, but a great experience worth the price.
