Decent service and kind workers and love the rooftop. We were really disappointed in all of the food we tried. The cocktails were also very weak and under filled. Very pricey for what it is. read more

Last Saturday, my daughter and I attended an exhibition opening at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, and it was such a wonderful experience. After the show, before heading home, we stopped into the Gaslight Bar & Grill--and I'm so glad we did. We ordered a salad, French fries, and Brussels sprouts, and everything was fantastic. The service, the food, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect way to end the evening. We truly had a great time. read more

Gaslight Bar & Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

What a big disappointment... last night (6/27) we had reservations for 4 for dinner with friends that came in from out of town, before a concert at Ludlow garage. We made reservations through Open Table - Open Table EVEN confirmed the reservations the day before. we show up at 6pm only to find the restaurant CLOSED!!!! Fortunately, Ludlow Garage had an empty table for us. Just really disappointed that there was no notification other than the note on the door!!! I am hearing they are closed to revamp the menu and train new employees as well as doing some remodeling, so what's the deal with Open Table not giving us an alert??? read more

The service and kindness was great. The fish was prepared and seasoned well. I loved the fries too. I remember this when it was the old library so to see it as restaurant is cool. I'm torn on value. 2 pieces of cod, small pieces and fries for $24. I eat a lot of fish and I can get 5 pieces of fish for under $20, you can get 2 massive pieces for $20.00. I am totally aware that prices are increased in general. Just seems pricey for the portion. But it was delicious. read more

stopped by Gaslight Bar and Grill and decided to sit at the bar...so glad I did! Tony, the bartender, was super cool, fast, and friendly. He made some great recommendations and really made me feel comfortable while I was there. I initially ordered the halibut, and when I mentioned it wasn't quite what I expected, Tony immediately suggested swapping it for a Reuben and fries. That ended up being excellent! Great service, great food, and a really welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. read more

Very nice local neighborhood bar and grill. Reminds me of the original Keystone bar and grill in Covington when it was first open. Very chill classic understated vibes with warm soft lighting and cool historical Cincinnati photographs on the walls. The service was great and the food was pretty food overall. We had (listed in order of what I'd recommend first to last) - the meatball marinara with burrata appetizer, the onion rings with sweet & spicy dipping sauce, the fig and goat cheese flatbread, the side salad, the caprese flatbread and a cheese burger- the meatballs were 100 out of ten - would definitely order again. The onion rings were hot and crispy and the sauce was nice. The fig flatbread was very flavorful and tasty but the presentation was off as it was topped with a bed of arugula and it was all you could see- it was a bit much. The side salad was hearty fresh and well presented, but the champagne vinaigrette needed more dimension- it was super super sour and needed more of something - I added some of the sweet onion ring sauce to balance the vinegar- the caprese flatbread bread also was tasty but it looked pale and kinda like a child's cheese pizza- it just didn't meet my expectations visually. The burger (I got cheddar and bbq sauce) was surprisingly tasty- mostly due to the bbq sauce though- I was not asked how I wanted it cooked, so that should have been a sign... as it was vey thin and dry (almost like a premade frozen patty texture) the bun was good- I guess I just expected more from a bar and grill with something as simple as a burger. Overall I'd say it was good and I will definitely give it another visit as maybe the first night we visited was just an off night in the kitchen - The atmosphere and drinks were worth making it a nice happy hour of night cap spot. read more

I previously came to this restaurant a year ago and it was absolutely delightful and the food was amazing. I made reservations for four people at 6 o'clock on a Thursday night. Service was incredibly slow. As we waited 20 minutes for drinks. You can tell by the picture that they were not that busy. They were out of all of the specialty cocktails except for one choice and they were out of one of the beer selections. I ordered the beet salad and the veggie flatbread. The beet salad only had small pieces of beets and a ton of arugula. There was no dressing on the arugula. The flatbread was beautiful and I picked up a piece of it and it was absolutely soggy and wet all over the bottom. I did not eat it and I sent it back. We did not have time to wait for something else to be ordered because we had tickets for a 7:30 show across the street. One of our guests asked for corn salsa on the tacos instead of pineapple and they were out of that also. I do not understand how a restaurant in this amazing artsy neighborhood could be out of so many things on a Thursday evening at 6 o'clock. read more

Food was tasty and the menu has a nice variety, including apps, salads, handhelds, flatbreads and entrees. Service was pretty good and waitress was friendly and accessible throughout our meal. The espresso martini (called a Pluto) was especially well made. Location was perfect for dinner before an event at Ludlow Garage across the street. However, also several little problems tonight - ordered an app that never made it to our table (server made sure it was taken off our bill), overcharged $2 for our sandwich (evidently the menu is new and their system wasn't updated yet), and the fire alarm went off midway through our meal and then fire truck/fire fighters showed up (but we didn't need to evacuate at least). Hopefully they can work out the kinks and this will be 5 stars! read more

Just left after having had dinner that I thought was worth a comment. My husband ordered the meatballs which were really small, came cold and with hardly any sauce. Had to order extra sauce! I ordered a Cobb salad that had a distinct, strange taste. After a few bites, they came to ask if I was finished. Not if I wanted a box, or if there was something wrong with the salad, they just took the bowl away. I guess I could hv spoken up, but they could hv asked why I was "finished" with an almost uneaten salad. Only positive was the glass of orange wine. We will not be back read more

I love Gaslight Bar & Grill!!! The interior is clean and tastefully decorated. The employees are friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable of the menu. I haven't been on the rooftop deck as of yet. They have the best fried cod and fries I ever had. I plan on bringing my Australian friends to Gaslight when they visit for the fish and chips. read more

We had a really nice time at the Gaslight last Friday night. We were in the neighborhood for a concert and decided to stop in for a bite before the show. There was not a wait so we were seated upon arrival. The service was excellent, our waiter was attentive and fast. The food was quite good. Enjoyed the Korean BBQ wings. The sauce was delicious. I do wish the wings were a bit crispier. The truffle fries were very nice. A nice and strong truffle flavor. They split the schnitzel for us. The sauce was incredible. Made to look like a yellow mustard but tasted of curry. Would buy a bottle of that stuff. Wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price. I'd definitely come back. A tasty neighborhood restaurant. read more

Our server, John, was excellent. As we were seated, he pointed out the happy hour drink specials that were ending in 5 minutes, and made a point to get our order in. The on-tap Pinot noir was quite tasty. We ordered the Chicken Pomodoro, for which they happily supplied more sauce to meet my saucy husband's taste, and the warm Brussels Sprout salad sans bacon for this vegetarian. We were both pleased with the flavors, service and ambiance. Gaslight Bar and Grill has definitely stepped up its food and beverage experience. And the server came by to let me know they also have a housemade veggie burger that's not on the menu. Check it out the next time you are heading to the Esquire or Ludlow Garage! read more

Gaslight Bar & Grill is a nice looking restaurant. I love they have windows that open all the way when the weather is nice. We were here in May and sat at a booth with the door right behind us. The sun at this time of the year shines directly onto this table when it's setting. It's cool if one is facing away from the door, otherwise the sun will be in your eyes for a few minutes. I ordered the Shrimp & Avocado Salad. It was tasty and light. Maybe a little pricey for what you get. We enjoyed our meal. It's a great place to stop in before a show at Ludlow Garage across the street. I recommend making reservations here rather than eating at the 'garage'. read more

Rooftop vibes with an aperol spritz. service was great . I sat on the rooftop ; but my oysters were cold . Which they would have been amazing hot. Busy area but easy parking.

I still like my neighborhood place, but it needs to re-visit training with some of the new staff. Or is this a new management issue? Either way... It should not irritate the server when asked about Happy Hour Specials, nor should there be rolled eyes, walking away as the customer is actively questioning you, nor should there be an attitude of defensiveness when asked to clarify prices. It took an uncomfortable 10-15 mins with my server (going back-and-forth) to understand that the place IS indeed under new management and there's and entirely new pricing structure. New management has instituted a NEW PRICING STRUCTURE for Happy Hour, but has not posted that information anywhere nor is (clearly) new staff trained to inform you of the drink specials. In the defense of the business, the manager dropped by the table to check on the issue, which I greatly appreciated and must admit is a credit to this spot. I'll take an attentive staff over a training issue any day of the week. You can train someone to be a better server, but you can't teach professionals to pay attention if it's not part of their character. So why complain about what is ultimately a 5-star review, you may ask? For a few reasons: 1.) this started as a 3-star review because of the server's behavior and lack of knowledge, 2.) the manager's initiative to visit the table and kindly deal with my concerns bumped this up to a 4-star review. 3.) the server's attitude AFTER my polite exchange with the manager bumped this back up to a 5. The only reason this place has become an "institution" in the Clifton food/beverage space is because locals support their own. When you're here, we take care of you. From Ms. Denise at the CVS down the street, to Stephanie at Arlin's, people know people, people know places, and people SUPPORT everyone and everything in between. You get used to a certain level of care (and competency), and when that doesn't happen, it's noticeable. This is still one of the best spots in the city, this is still one of the most attentive spots in the city, and today's recent Happy Hour faux-pas doesn't nix this from my list of favs. If anything, it stays up here because of its ability to recover beautifully. read more

I wanted to love this place but it turned out to be just okay. Great atmosphere and decor! Great service! Okay food. My husband and I went here when we had concert tickets for Ludlow Garage across the street. I loves the place when I walked in. It had a great feel. The hostess and manager both greeted us and you could tell the place was well managed. We were immediately seated and our server greeted us. I just had a diet soda to drink but my husband had wine. He didn't care for it. He said it tasted like it was old (sat in an opened bottle too many days/weeks. I ordered a burger with a side of Mustard greens. My husband got the steak and fries. My burger was fine, nothing wrong with it, just not exceptional in any way. My husband's food was basically the same as mine, not bad but not great. The Mustard greens were a little overcooked for my taste, just too mushy. My husband also got the cheesecake. Again, okay. The manager stopped by our table to check on us and was very friendly. Our server was great! I wish I had better things to say about the food because the rest of the experience was exceptional. read more

I'm in town for the weekend and given the recommendation of coming here. I wish I hadn't. I walk in to be met with a host stand devoid of said host. The gentleman behind the bar waved me over to take a seat, but as soon as I did, he turned to walk away. I was sat at the bar with a whopping 2 other guests, and none of the 3 people working behind the bar came to greet me or begin service. I sat here for a good while before someone finally came over, but he was quiet and obviously downtrodden. It's pretty obvious that there are managers watching over the staff and possibly creating this downtrodden atmosphere. The tension in here is palpable. There does not seem to be a friendly or welcoming tone, and the lack of attention on a pretty empty night is shocking. Something is clearly a miss here. I ordered a beer but the menu wasn't speaking to me (also feels overly expensive). Perhaps the other establishments on the avenue will turn the night around. 2 stars because it's clean and aesthetically pleasing, not much more. read more

We had a great time at the Gaslight. Our first visit. The hummus is tremendous! Do not sleep on that dish. I had the shrimp tacos. Three monstrous tacos that I couldn't finish. We also had Brussels sprouts and truffle fries, both great. Our server was awesome. Helpful with choices and quick on additional drinks. The space is cool and filled up as we had to get out and back to another engagement. Looking forward to returning. read more

Came here for a Friday date night with my husband--he'd been for lunch before and said we needed to come together. Such a cute place! We said it felt like a crossover between Goose & Elder (RIP) and The Filson. We had delicious drinks and the burrata appetizer is a must! I got the truffle pasta and it was good, but definitely needed some cheese and more seasonings to make it stand out more. My husband tried it and said it was more like truffle buttered noodles. He loved his steak! I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

I owe this place another visit. I thought the ambience and service in my first visit were excellent. However, I didn't think the quality of the food quite justified the price point.

total classic dive bar. cant go wrong with the burger and fries. Lots of regulars. the neighbors of PR are lucky to have this establishment

Stopped at the Gaslight today for lunch. Upon entering there was only 1 other couple there. We sat down and the waitress told us she would back with waters- she never came back. We sat for approximately 10 minutes and other family was seated across from us. The waitress took their order and left without even acknowledging us. At that point we left. I can understand slow service when an establishment is busy - but this was POOR!! Left and went across the street to the Ludlow Garage - great service and food. Should have went there first. Don't waist your time on the Gaslight. read more

In a world of fast dining, Gaslight stands out for its rightly-paced meal and excellent service. I also love the vibe - it's beautiful and relaxing. Enjoyed great gin cocktails off the summer menu. Beautiful presentation. Burger and fries is always solid. Risotto was yummy. The standout was the service. It was attentive and friendly but not disruptive. I was in the industry for decades and I really appreciate great service. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing evening. read more

Our server was attentive and we were served at a good pace.

So I made Valentine's Day reservations. Get there to find out you can only order from the "Valentines Menu"- $50 per person. I had looked at the regular menu and decided to come, not this BS $50 menu. Waited a little long for food. Steak came, looked like it was probably overdone.... But we didn't stay long enough for me to find out. It was also about the size of my fist. $50 for a 3oz steak? That's nonsense.... Then my girlfriend cuts into her raw piece of chicken . I'm confident that I'm a better cook than these farts. And I'm a 20 year old college student on a strict budget. We went across the street to skyline and it was good as ever. read more

We working for a cool casual place on our trip to Cincinnati and we were taking to OTR and found Gaslight. We were told it would be about a 30 minute wait but before we had are drinks at the bar the table was available. The drinks are prepared individually with care and precision and tasted wonderful. Once we got to the table we started with appetizers including deep fried mushrooms, a beets appetizer, one soup of the day and brussel sprouts and all were tasty. My wife had a salad with added salmon and she was pleased. I had the gas light burger and it was perfect. The service was fantastic and we loved the room. We'll be back. read more

The vibes are great here, I loved watching all the foot traffic on Ludlow out of their big windows, and I know they have them open on warm days. I came in about 8:45 on a Saturday night, alone. There weren't many people there but a bunch came in around 9:30. The server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu. He advised me on dishes that could accommodate my food allergy. I got the beet salad and the risotto. Both were good! The risotto has rotating vegetables in it, today it was Asparagus, mushroom, and summer squash. It was rich and well seasoned. The beet salad was a citrusy vinaigrette over roast beets, goat cheese, and arugula. Simple but delicious and beautifully presented. read more
