Reviews With Photos - Front Street Cafe

Front Street Cafe is the best restaurant in town if not the city. I love how every visit feels like catching up with an old friend. The food is amazing, each dish tastes like it was made with lots of love, whether it's the juiciest burger on Thursdays or one of their weekly specials that never fails to surprise me. But what really makes it special is the people. The staff remember your name and your favorite drink, and they always make you feel like you truly belong. It's never just a meal. the people are truly great. Also a bonus is constant live music. I'm so thankful to have Front Street Cafe around. If you haven't been yet, you're in for a treat that feels like coming home.

A friend of mine lives in New Richmond, Ohio and has been urging me to try this restaurant. So we finally did it! I am glad that we did. Parking was easy in a lot right next to the restaurant. We were greeted as we walked in and they told us to sit at any table that did not have a reserved sign on it. You have a nice view of the Ohio River from your seat in the restaurant. Our waiter came to the table to take our drink order and we knew exactly what we wanted. We each ordered a different Mimosa flight. Such fun and tasty. We also ordered the Brie and fig appetizer. My friend ordered the Winter Mimosa Flight and I ordered the Who Dey Mimosa flight in honor of the Bengals being in the NFL playoff round. The appetizer had nice crusty bread along side fig jam and warm Brie. For our meal I ordered the special of the night which was a filet mignon with asparagus and smashed potatoes. My friend ordered the Pasta Lafayette which was composed of andouille sausage, shrimp, red bell peppers, and onions in a spicy Cajun cream sauce and penne pasta and a side salad. My steak was perfectly cooked. My friend loves their signature pasta dish. Of course we could not go without ordering dessert so I had the vanilla crème brûlée and my friend had the vanilla cheese cake with a chocolate sauce. The flavor of my crème brûlée was good but it did not have enough crusty sugar in my opinion as it was a bit soft. We had a lovely leisurely dinner and as we were getting close to leaving a person was setting up in the corner to sing with his guitar. Highly recommend getting a mimosa flight as it is fun and tasty.

What a great little cafe! My husband and I stopped in for lunch while in the area on Sunday. It sits right across the street from the Ohio River - in the stretch of shops along Front Street. My husband had the Rueben and I ordered the Chicken Salad. On a whim I decided to have a Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary is fantastic! I ordered their special one that comes with a house-made mix, Tito's vodka and topped with bacon. Oh my, it's good! The chicken salad sandwich is probably the best chicken salad sandwich I've had in awhile. So flavorful! My husband thought his reuben was awesome also. And he enjoyed the beers he ordered. The service was great! Very welcoming and friendly. We'd definitely stop back in.

Out and about and stopped in for lunch. The atmosphere was very inviting, and it's across from the Ohio river. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos, daughter had the Cafe quesadilla husband had the reuben. Everything was excellent!

I think this is a bit pricey for what you get. The riverside atmosphere is nice, though.

My husband brought me to Baker's Table for my birthday dinner. I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

Wow! We went with a group of seven of us and were treated like royalty. Chef personally delivered…read moreour bread service and talked about what it was and how it was made. Each course was like a piece of art on the plate! This is one of those special 'splurge' places that leaves you wanting it again. The space is small and cozy seating only around 20 people.

Tonight we had the...best...meal...EVER! We sat at the bar and it was nice and quiet. The seats are…read morecomfortable and Greg took excellent care of us. 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.

First time trying this spot after the old Salazar closed - used to be one of my favorite places…read more Overall had a great experience, most of the food was fantastic. 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.
