Another place on our list to visit - the new shop with the new owners. They were customers and…read morebought from Mark who was the original founder. We stopped by after a visit to the Newtown Candy shop. We took some lobster roll kits and clam chowder home. They pride themselves on fresh seafood regularly flown in from around the world. Their pricing is double Jungle Jims and triple kroger. Can't say good or bad until we try the fresh fish. For example they have many types of Salmon from around the globe. $49.99 for Sea Bass is pricey for me. I think Halibut was $39.99 a pound and the salmon was $20-$30 a pound. They also make their own sides. The clam chowder had too many potatoes. On Friday and Saturday nights they cook a few meals out back in a small tent/room. Main items are Lobster Rolls and Fish n chips.

Just happened to pop into this shop on a whim after passing it many times over the years. Wow, was…read moreI impressed with all they had to offer! In fact, I was so taken by the owner sharing the history of Lobsta Bakes and all of the items that are made onsite, that I completely forgot to take photos with one exception: the menu! They have a small space to serve dinner on weekends with a menu that changes often. From fresh fish to chowder, crab cakes, Lobster rolls, sauces, pies, and much more, this is a place you have to visit! I bought some clam chowder, lobster roll kits, crab cakes and lobster quiche- all were fantastic!

Oh. My. Gosh. SO so good…read more We started with the lavender lemonade mocktail -- which I absolutely added tequila to -- and it was smooth, refreshing, and dangerously delicious. 10/10 would order again exactly the same way. For appetizers, we got the whipped feta. Delicious, creamy, and perfect for sharing -- but fair warning: avoid the peppers if you're not into a little kick. They sneak up on you! My friend and I split the house salad and WOW. A complete showstopper. So fresh, the vinaigrette was bright and delightful, and those fresh bacon bits? Chef's kiss. It's rare that a house salad stands out like that, but this one absolutely did. Now let's talk about the prime rib. I typically do not like steak or prime rib... but our waitress recommended it as the best thing on the menu, and honestly the Yelp photos had already convinced me. When I tell you it was BOMB -- I mean it. So tender. So flavorful. Perfectly cooked. Paired with broccolini and mashed potatoes, it was a whole experience. To end the night, we shared the apple tart with cinnamon ice cream -- warm, sweet, comforting, and the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great service, incredible food, and such a vibe. I cannot wait to come back.

I got the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious and refreshing without being too floral or soapy. For dinner I got the braised short rib which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The bone marrow demi glaze I could have a bowl of that stuff is phenomenal. The broccolini was roasted perfectly but I felt the potatoes could've used more seasoning. My mother got the lemon chicken pasta, which was good at the time, but when she got home it did not sit well with her. All in all, I would come back for the short rib, and I hope Alara finds a new location soon. The inside is nice and romantic seating, but it is cold ... like bring a jacket and it seems it doesn't matter the season it is colder inside because I saw a google review that also mentioned the temperature of the dining room.

Went and tried Tony's last night. I was just driving her out and thought let's try a new Italian…read morerestaurant. Tony's is in a strip mall, but don't let that throw you off. I was impressed by how quickly we were seated on a Saturday night. The meal started with the appetizer of mozzarella sticks and salad for my friend. The salad was as basic as basic gets. My friend was not a fan. He asked if maybe in the future, they could put a little cheese on the salad. The mozzarella sticks were absolutely incredible. I'm a big connoisseur of mozzarella sticks and these were really incredible. Dusted with lots of Parmesan. They were awesome. Maybe the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Then, it was waiting for the main course. They cook from scratch, so it takes time, but it was well worth it. Both of us got the spaghetti and meatballs, and were pleasantly surprised. Now, if you don't like chunky sauce, this may not be your thing. But, I'm a guy that normally doesn't like chunky sauce, but I just kind of moved that around a little bit and the taste was really great. They had kind of a garlic knot roll as the bread item. I liked it, but I felt like it could've had a little bit more garlic butter on it overall, a very enjoyable time at Tony's. Definitely a casual joint, definitely no huge frills, but if you're just out for a solid Italian dinner in the Cincinnati/Montgomery area, you're in for a treat. I definitely will be back.

Tony's was exceptional. The staff was focused on providing great customer service and they were…read morepleasant, professional and informative. The food was GREAT, we started with the garlic cheese bread it was excellent crisp and uber cheesy. I had the eggplant rolatini it was delicious right blend of ingredients garlicky, cheesy and covered with marinara. There was spaghetti and meatballs by another of our diners which he raved about. Tony's special was enjoyed by another diner. Not one negative was mentioned at the table. The ambiance or lack there of was not a real concern, the pictures and posters were interesting enough. If they could put the lights on dimmers it would certainly help. Food and service were excellent and the atmosphere, strip mall Italian modern hahaha. I definitely recommend and we will return... You can see the similarities with Giovanni's on the West side which is a good thing

i think the vibes were just okay there. i used to go here as a kid and i remember it being better,…read morebut that may just be attributed to me growing up and not reflective of the restaurant itself. we got the mozzarella sticks as a starter, and there were 7 of them and they were freaking huge. i didn't really vibe with the marinara sauce they provided, though. i also thought the sticks tasted kind of strange, but my partner really liked them. the seafood pasta was yum. i didn't really like how the shrimp in it tasted and there were lots of shrimp in that pasta. the crawfish in the pasta were bomb. i don't quite remember what my partner ordered, but i know there was salmon and shrimp and bites of crab in there. the potatoes were fireeeeee. i kept sneaking bites of it off his plate. the daiquiri was really sweet, too. not sure how much alcohol was in there, but i can't complain. i wish they had complimentary bread for the table. i was kind of sadden by this. also the hostess asked if we were celebrating any event, and we said my birthday, so i thought maybe i would get a birthday dessert, but i didnt :( that's just me being greedy tho, im not mad at the place for not giving me a free dessert or anything. it was good food, but idk if ill go back there anytime soon.

Our server, Chloe, introduced herself with a smile and provided us with a quick refresher. I knew from her energy that we were going to be in great hands for the evening. (and I was not wrong, lol) Chloe was personable, attentive, friendly, and down to earth. The service she provided us was excellent! I ordered the Swamp Thing for a cocktail. Sweet, fruity, and pretty... that green cocktail did exactly what it needed to do, lol. FIVE STARS! Now, on to the food... The Gator Bites are a MUST. I ordered the hot honey sauce on the side just to play it safe and I am glad I did, because babyyyy, that spice had no boundaries. If you're a lover of spicy things, you'll be good to order as is, lol! I also ordered the Roasted Oysters. Another MUST! The oysters had a parmesan crust with lemon garlic butter drizzled over them... They were gone in minutes! I was on the fence for my entree, but then my girl Chloe clocked that Pasta Mardi Gras and the rest is history. It was creamy, savory, and packed with flavor. I knew my girl wouldn't let me down! Our experience was excellent! I definitely recommend reservations. Pappadeaux wasn't terribly busy when we arrived, but by the time we finished up & headed out, they had a line out the door. If you're in the Cincy area, add to your foodie list! Overall, a great restaurant for a GNO, date night, or any celebration.

Told it would be 45 minute wait, but seating at bar was first come first serve. So we sat at the bar. Service was great. Brian bartender was top notch and did a great job of explaining menu, drinks and specials. Was not pushy or didn't try to steer us towards one item or another. Jalapeño poppers for appetizer was good. Wife got the swamp water mahi mahi with side of jambalaya. She loved it and only offered me 1 bite! I got the swamp water pasta. This was also fantastic! Portions are large and filling. We didn't try any desserts as there was no room Cool vibe to this place. Nice ambiance. You could tell there were many regulars and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely go back to try the pork chop and the seafood boils next time!! Cost for 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 draft beers and 2 wines was under $100. That's a great deal!!

Strongly recommend and if we're back, we'll definitely be back. Other comments: - Service nice but slow - Corn not quite done - but still good - Skip the bland clam chowder. You get a bowl as a side, a cup would have sufficed. - Prices good for what you get

It was my first time ordering g so not sure if ordering online is available. But if you don't order online, you order there and wait. It's just a stand and wait or go back to your car and wait place. Not impressed. The cod was good, but for all the fish they give you, they give 1 tartar sauce. If you want more, you have to pay for it. I'd honestly trade fries for more tartar sauce. I went on a day that wasn't busy so the wait wasn't long. I would avoid peak times if you're in a hurry.

The staff of this restaurant is amazing. We had a 5:30 reservation, but we did not check into the…read morehotel until 5:30. I stopped by the hostess desk to see if we could push back the reservation. This was a busy Saturday Night and she could not have been more accommodating. She took my name and assured me it was not a problem. Thirty minutes later we returned and the hostess called me by name. We were quickly seated with Erin (remember her name) who asked if we were going to the concert that night. She made suggestions that would help with our time restriction. She was spot on with the 12oz Barrel Cut Filet. You could almost cut it with only the fork. My wife had the 8oz Filet, and she said it was maybe the best steak she's ever had. We had the mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese as our delicious sides. After our meal, Erin suggested we come back for coffee and dessert, which we did. My wife had the creme brûlée and I had the tiramisu. Both are made in house and delicious. Well worth the price. Great food, great drinks (try the smoked old fashioned) and top notch exceptional service.

The complimentary soft bread was good but the "chips" cheapened the meal. We ordered the chop salad and Caesar salad and both were served warm. The Caesar salad was terrible. It had a strange after taste, but the flavor of the chop salad was ok. The sear on the steaks were really good and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were so tasty; 2nd best I've ever had! The mac & cheese was bland. Tasted like too much cream was added, which took away any taste of cheese. The chocolate cake was ok, but I don't believe it is made in house. It's reminiscent of a Malones chocolate cake. We were also served with a complimentary dessert which was a tempered chocolate cup filled with whipped cream topped with chocolate and strawberry sauce. It was pretty but not appetizing for us to eat a cup of whipped cream. Overall we enjoyed checking this restaurant off our list but will not return (we drove over 2 hours just to try this restaurant)
