What more can I say that hasn't been said before about Boca, the fanciest restaurant in all of…read moreCincinnati, Ohio?? Because it is so exxxxxxpensive, this is not a restaurant you casually dine at. But since it was my sister's Bachelorette weekend, my group of 7 treated the bride-to-be to a luxurious dinner here in May 2026. And she had a wonderful experience! The interior is gorgeous, elegant, and smells amazing. The staff is professional and runs with the efficiency of a Michellen-starred restaurant. I always enjoy watching a staff of 7 deliver the table their food like they are performing a choreographed dance. I ordered the cheapest drink on the menu - a yummy local beer from MadTree for $7. The others had much more expensive cocktails that were $20+. You won't have to worry - while their food menu is small and selective, the drink menu is HUGE. They surprised us with glasses of in honor of my sister's upcoming nuptials. That was a lovely treat! I kept to being a cheap-o and ordered the $18 "Arpege" salad as my main. It didn't have any meat but it had a lot of cheese! Yum! Others ordered more substantial mains like the scallops, the beef tartare, the halibut, etc. All were plated beautifully. I had a bite of the bolognese, and while a small portion, it was superb. You do have to pay for bread service but it is unlimited refills so on $8, the 7 of us went through 6 loaves of bread and 6 trays of delicious salted butter. I personally probably had 2 loaves on my own. My god, it was the best thing I ate the entire trip! After we ate our mains, we then ordered a variety of desserts. Most of us got ice cream (get the strawberry!!). My sister and another girl got the famous "candy bar" dessert and the cheesecake. I had a bite of the candy bar and for $15, it was the most dense candy bar ever! Sooooo much chocolate! I'll end here but with tax and tip, we paid about $630ish. My portion was $51, by far the lowest of the group. I got out relatively cheaply because I filled up on bread but feel free to treat yourself and indulge a bit more!

We had an exceptional dinner at Boca! First off, big shout out to Seth, who is really wonderful…read more Secondly, to Katie, and lastly, to every other person who stopped at our table. Everybody, each member of the staff was fantastic. The pomme soufflés are out of this world. They are such a treat. We always love their Hamachi, specially, when they have it with the grapefruit and slivers of jalapeños. Right now they have a truffle Hamachi, which was really fabulous as well. Their foie gras torchon is also exceptional. We cannot wait for them to bring back the cod in buerre Blanc sauce. But last night we opted for the hamburger, which is quite the treat there. If you are a bourbon drinker, you should try their buffalo trace single barrel right now. My husband thought it was more delicious than most other buffalo trace, more of a cherry and vanilla hint. Anyway, we had a perfect night.

i love this place…read more the service is always great. the food is absolutely amazing. this place is one of our favorite date nights! they do not do reservations so make sure to get there right when they open for seats. but totally worth it. i love this restaurant and will never not hype it up!

You know how most "casual French" places are either casual (translation: sloppy) or French…read more(translation: $38 for three bites and a life lesson)? This place somehow avoids both traps. It's the rare restaurant that delivers quality without acting like it deserves a TED Talk for doing so. The food is consistently strong...like "you actually remember what you ordered tomorrow" strong. No foam experiments, no deconstructed nonsense, just dishes that taste like the chef respects both the cuisine and your wallet. In today's market, that's practically a miracle... or at least a manager who hasn't lost his mind. Service? Shockingly competent. The staff is attentive without hovering like a helicopter parent at a kindergarten recital. That doesn't happen by accident, the chef/owner is clearly a pro. A class act who hires well, trains properly, and....brace yourself...seems to care. I know, it's unsettling. The ambience hits that sweet spot: warm, relaxed, and just upscale enough that you feel like you made a good decision... but not so fancy that you're Googling "which fork do I use" under the table. And then there's the location, right next to The Blind Lemon. Honestly, you might find yourself rooting for a wait just so you can wander next door for a drink. It's the only time in life where bad timing actually improves your evening. Bottom line: This place doesn't try to impress you, it just does. Solid food, fair prices, great service, and an owner who runs a tight ship without making it feel like boot camp. In a world full of overhyped dining "concepts," this is something radical: a restaurant that simply works.

This was a hard one. I wanted to love this- a unique cafe by the theatre for our out of town visit…read more It's a cute spot, but tiny. 3 small four-top tables and a few counter stools. Counter service. But the first couple of things we tried to order, we were told that they were out of those items. One of them being a type of coffee. It seemed that one adult was possibly running the full establishment alone. We ordered quickly and there was a table open which seemed like a good sign. My husbands food came out after about 20 minutes, but mine was not served nor was his drip coffee or my bottle of water. My food came out another 15-20 later and had to ask for our drinks. I asked my husband how his food was. It was served with mayo (ordered without) and he said it was cold. His coffee was also cold (not supposed to be). My crepe was decent, but not worth the 40min wait. People behind us were having the same issues. Food was served one dish at a time, across all tables so no one was eating together with their parties. I would love to recommend a small local business. My hope is that someone else called in sick and this girl was just doing her best (she really was). But if this is the norm, I cannot suggest this stop.

Some…read moreof the recent reviews were rather negative, but others were positive, so we decided to see for ourselves. SO glad we did. I can report that once again the food, wine, and service were all superior! I went with classics: the onion soup (savory and good to the last drop); the duck duo (the most well prepared duck I've eaten in a long time - delicious and memorable); and the pot de creme (this speaks for itself frankly haha - it was dark and decadent and a very nice finish to a fantastic meal). Service from Michael was top notch (great work Michael!), and the atmosphere was cozy but not confining, not too noisy for cross-table conversation, and of course clean and attractive. I say, Le Bar a Bouef gave us a wonderful evening.

We stumbled on this place and wanted to come here for our 10 year anniversary. When I got home, I made reservations. This is definitely 100% authentic. The couple/owners are from France. So you know the food is homemade. The food menu is simple. The drink menu has a lot of great selections for your pairing. The inside is very nostalgic. From pictures from their past and love the bright walls. Inviting and laid back. Lilly was our server. She was down to earth and attentive. We ordered: Drinks: -Domaine des Cellier 3 Cotes Du Rhone (bottle) Appetizer: -Snails (Escargot) Dinner: -Baked salmon w/ broccoli au gratin -Beef Bourguignon w/ smashed potatoes Dessert: -Chocolate mousse -Coffee & Cordial- Coffee 1 oz cordial and whipped cream Cordials: Grand Marnier The escargot was so delish. It wasn't greasy and had alot of garlic. Which I love. The rest of our meals were epic! My baked Chilean salmon was cooked to perfection. I absolutely love their homemade dill sauce that came with it. The potatoes had great flavor. My fiancée really loved his dish. He said it's one of the best he's had. It was made with love. We couldn't end it there, we had to get dessert. It tasted so good with our French press coffee. It was so fresh. I rave about this place. What an awesome experience and I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu.

They were definitely generous with the escargot and we were sopping all up the sauce with our bread. The beef in my Bourguignon was so tender I could cut it like butter with a spoon. My fiancee really loved her salmon too. The mousse with the coffee & cordial made the perfect dessert pairing. Trust me, try a shot of Grand Marnier in the coffee & cordial, because the orange zest it brings is perfect in it. We'll absolutely be going back!

Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.
