    Cocktails.
    Tyanna M.

    I went in here a couple of time but for cocktails only. I liked the cocktails and the bartender in both instances was attentive and quick. I sat at the bar both times and both times it was early in the day. I do not recall the drinks I had but they had a decent cocktail list and I was staying in the hotel that is attached to it. I will likely go again the next time I am in the hotel, I usually stay once a year.

    The food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice and inviting . Our server who was a male indigo his name he was very informative .We were on a girls trip so we wanted to try this place out and we are glad we did we would definitely come again.

    A recent addition to the Covington area. Went on a Sunday at 11am and was seated immediately. Server came by to ask for our order. The restaurant had a modern aesthetic, semi-formal ambiance fitting for the location. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The food overall was a blend of southern flavors and American ingredients. I enjoyed my chicken benny as a more protein rich option. The egg was poached perfectly, the potatoes were well seasoned. The french toast on the wasn't the best I've had in Cincinnati or in the states but was still on but easily great for the area. The chicken on both dishes were chicken thighs that were still moist, juicy and crunchy. The mandatory 20% gratuity that is added on to your check automatically which didn't sit well with me. However I would not hesitate to return if I was craving and upscale restaurant with southern flavors and honey.

    A place worth trying! New restaurant in the area, with a great Southern flavor menu. Great choice for brunch and dinner. Service was excellent, Liz did an amazing job. Brava! Good place for drinks and family dinners. The shrimp and grits were very tasty. Lots of flavor and good portion size. Food was fresh and we'll prepared. Give this restaurant a try. Eat well and enjoy!

    So this spot recently opened , decided to come across the bridge to check it out. Solid experience! The wait staff was all super friendly. Very helpful when trying to figure out what was good. They did not lead us astray, it was all great. Brian was an amazing bartender. He hooked us up with some really good honey old fashioned joints. Also Saturday brunch has a live band. Sunday has the DJ on the turntable. Happy hour is everyday between 3 and 6. It's in a hotel, but has an outside entrance. For parking, they validate so keep the in mind for the lot across the street. Has indoor and outdoor seating so you can get a really good view if you're indoor and outdoor, it has a full bar as well. So if you want a cocktail you can definitely do that too. Mumbo wings were good AF (have decent DC vibes). The grits were great, I would absolutely come back for them... They were the star of the show. My goodness they were fire. I don't eat fish but everything else was solid! The Mac and cheese was good and creamy. The cray cray pasta was really good as well. I would 101% come back next time I was in the area.

    Espresso martini

    I've been here a few times since they opened and it's always a great time! I love when they have live music outside on the patio! The outdoor seating is a nice touch for great brunch vibes. Our servers are always knowledgeable and helpful. I went for my birthday and she made sure I got a special birthday treat! Now, onto the food... those southern charm deviled eggs.... ‍ chefs kiss! Super flavorful! My go to is the crab cake blt. They give you a nice sized crab cake and aren't skimpy on the crab. The remoulade sauce is the perfect finisher. The espresso martini is one of my favorites in the city. It's the perfect blend of espresso and sweet!

    Relied on my Yelpers to find a good dinner spot while in town visiting family, and we opted for this place. Did not realize it was a restaurant attached to Embassy Suites Hotel, but that wouldn't be a deterrent in coming back. Great menu, super tasty fresh and flavorful cocktails with excellent service! OMG!! Hands down the table favorite -- Red Velvet pancakes (on the dinner menu). Definitely a good stop if you're in the area. Everyone at the table gave it a big thumbs up!

    Great food! Great service! Had a little hiccup with my husband's omelette, which was taken care of immediately. We Got the fried green tomato slices (I make them more well done) served with a great sauce. Omelette - great he would get it again Eggs Benedict- thrilled they would serve the ham on the side so I could give it to someone else to enjoy Poached eggs on chicken - he loved it!! French toast - he loved it!! Great service! Highly recommend you sit outside

    1/2 Sweet chick

    An original Miami restaurant has now made its way to Covington. Serving southern inspired dishes, this new restaurant will sure be a favorite brunch spot for many. It is located along the river next to the Hilton hotel. Parking can be found across the restaurant which costs $2 (0-1 hr); $5 (1-2 hrs). Upon entering the host stand, you will be greeted and be asked if you've made a reservation. No reservation is required to dine-in. We were sat next to the window, which offered a view of their outdoor patio sitting. Not sure if pets are allowed on the patio - it would be nice. Menu entrees were a bit short, but offer delicious options. We ordered: Mumbo wings, 1/2 Sweet Chick, Fries, Cheesey Grits. All came in black plates, which emphasized the food's colors and made it look aesthetically delicious. Mumbo wings (6) - Great flavor, but lacking the crispness to the wings. We asked for some ranch on the side. Restaurant has balsamic, ketchup and ranch. No blue cheese. Cheesey grits - I really enjoyed the flavor. I'm huge on grits and this was pretty good. It had that nice cheddar flavor to it. Fries - Thin fries seasoned with salt. Can't mess this one up. It was paired with ketchup. 1/2 Sweet Chick - You can either order a 1/2 serving or full. We went with the 1/2 and it was plentiful. It came with the fried chicken on top of 2 servings of French toast glazed with maple syrup and a touch of powdered sugar. It was complimented with blueberries and slices of strawberries on the side. Food was tasteful. Chicken had a nice crunch and well seasoned. Ask for extra maple syrup on the side if needed. FYI. Regardless of how big your party is there will be a mandatory 20% tip added to your bill. We were a party of 2. Thought this was strange since I eat brunch at other restaurants in Covington that allow flexible gratuity. Overall, I appreciated our first experience. I would recommend this place to open earlier to cater to those workers who enjoy a nice brunch after night shift.

    Oreo pancakes
    Michael M.

    Took my daughter here for a daddy daughter brunch and it was perfect! We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation and the staff was super nice and helped get us in early. The food was delicious, the French Toast bites are the best thing ever. My daughter loved her pancakes...and so did I. Haha looked too good not to steal a few bites :)

    Oxtail and grits
    Deonna E.

    The vibe at HU is upbeat. They had a live dj, photo ops, and a custom greeting, "Hey honey!" Our server was friendly and engaging. The menu is creative and full with unique options. I was excited to order the oxtail and grits. Unfortunately, the dish was lukewarm. Also, a member of our party's order was wrong altogether and needed to be sent back. We visited on the weekend, and these things tend to happen when restaurants are busy. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and be successful.

    She crab soup
    Erin E.

    I was going to go 3 stars because of slow food service, but they made up for it, so I'm going with 4. Went for brunch on a Saturday and made reservations on Open Table. There was no wait, but tables were full in the dining area. I liked the decor and vibe! Warning that the bar area music is loud- even at brunch (but the music is great!) . Server was very friendly. The food was pretty good. Nothing outstanding. My friends got the she crab soup and said it was very good- but would have been better hot (was just warm). It took a very long time for my eggs benny to arrive. My friends were already done with their food. I didn't complain or ask about it- I patiently waited. When it finally came- a manager brought it and apologized and they comped my meal without me asking. This was extremely nice and top notch! The eggs benny was good. Solid meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'd come again.

    deviled eggs with Barbecue chicken nuggets
    Mindy H.

    My first time experience at the new Honey Uninhibited in Covington (right next to Convention Center) was a good experience! My party had a corner booth with the vantage point of both the restaurant and the Covington street view. Note: valet parking is available in the lot across the street. The deviled eggs with Barbecue chicken nuggets appetizer was great! The flavors of the French toast with chicken and fresh fruit were delicious too! Our server was very attentive, calm, and helpful in making recommendations!

    I'm headed to eat there tomorrow, any suggestions?

    I don't think you can make a bad choice. I had the half sweet chick and fried green tomatoes. My friend enjoyed the potatoes and catfish bites and another had the seafood omelette. I think you'll enjoy any option you choose.

They had parking, and although they were full on reservations, 2 spots at the bar opened up and we grabbed them happily! First, the food was FANTASTIC! I had the Willy Burger and my husband had the fried bologna sandwich and we both loved what we ordered and vice versa. The sauce on the burger was phenomenal! The drink menu was extensive and looked so good but we were in a bit of a hurry and I'm 6 months pregnant so we settled for waters. Second, the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The ambience was great, I loved the big open garage door and patio seating they offered. The decor was so cute!

They have a nice outdoor area, which we avoided due to the current heatwave. We ordered two apps - FRIED GREEN TOMATOES - Topped with Libby's pimento cheese, pork belly lardons, bourbon onion jam, and herb oil and FRIED CHICKEN SKINS - Hand breaded and served with hot honey dipping sauce. The fried green tomatoes were nicely plated, though the pork belly lardons and bourbon onion jam did not have the most pleasant color. They were good, but not as great as the description. Fried chicken skin is the thing! I first had it when we lived in California. An Asian market served them up thinly breaded and fried perfectly crispy. I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw it on the menu at Libby's. The breading at Libby's is thick. It's tasty for sure, but it's quite thick. A quick glance at the chicken skins and it looks like full-on chicken. Anyway, they were very good and I would definitely order them again. I had a taste of the hot honey dipping sauce because it spilled. It was good, but for me it detracted from the flavor I'm looking for. I had to have the FRIED BOLOGNA BLT - House smoked bologna, pimento cheese, fried egg, house made BBQ sauce, spring mix lettuce, & sliced green tomato on grilled 16 Bricks sourdough. First, it was huge! I could only eat half. It was very good. All the different flavors mixed together well. It was messy!! It was so obviously messy the server brought over extra napkins without us having to ask! Top Notch! Oh, the mac and cheese side was just okay. I barely touched it. The second half of the sandwich was delicious cold. It was also not messy at all. The leftover mac and cheese had turned inedible in the fridge. I did not mind throwing it out. My friend had the CLASSIC TURKEY CLUB. It was also huge and she only ate half. The fries were crispy and delicious. Mark had THE DOC HOLLADAY. He said it was okay. He also only ate half. I think he enjoyed the cold leftover more. I like the menu; lots of options. The place is cute. The staff is great. We'd definitely come back.

    Love. If I can use…read moreone word to describe my experience at Soul Secret, that's it. Love Amore Besotted Take great people (Melinda was our server and the chef came out to check on us...more about Melinda later)... Combine it with great food and great ambiance, and you get this restaurant! The first thing that you notice when you walk in is that it feels like home. Some restaurants focus heavily on decor and leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance, the people, and the food. And in other restaurants, you walk in and feel as if you can stay there forever. This is one of those places. We stayed there for a while. Imagine being in Grandmom's living room with pictures on the wall and positive music playing in the background. That's Soul Secrets. The menu is big enough to make sure that everyone can find something to eat, but not so big that you will struggle to make a decision. From fried catfish and grits to French toast to salmon croquettes and the largest pancake on Earth, there is something for everyone. My niece ordered the French toast, and my sister ordered a special breakfast that came with a pancake, grits, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. I was still hungry from last night's meal, (and you can read about it in another review) so I just nibbled off of my sister's meal. The French toast came out first, and I could tell immediately that the chef knew what she was doing. The rest of the food came out, and again, they brought the largest pancake I've ever seen. My sister was treating us today, and I was glad that the menu prices were very reasonable. My niece said that the French toast was delicious, and she ate as much as she could. She has a dance performance tonight and made sure that she didn't put her show at risk. It was difficult for her because the food was so good, but she managed and took a box home to eat it later. Yes. My sister nibbled on everything else and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the grits and some of the pancake, and I have to say that it was very difficult for me to stop eating because it tasted so good. The pancake was perfectly cooked and fluffy with crispy bits on the edge. The grits were creamy and flavorful, even without cheese. The coffee was great. I had several cups. All in all, it was arguably better than any breakfast I've had at any restaurant that serves it. Now let's get back to Melinda. So often, the dining experience can be directly related to the person that greets you when you take a seat. Thank goodness we were greeted by Melinda. She has one of those energies and personalities that makes you feel as if she has been in your family for years. Funny and friendly, but at the same time, dedicated to making sure that you have a good experience. Again, I felt like I was at someone's home rather than in a restaurant. She called me a "troublemaker," which means that somehow she was seeing the 20-year-old version of me instead of the person that I am today. lol So here's the summary. If you are in Cincinnati and you want a great meal, there are many restaurants to choose from. It appears to be a pretty decent restaurant town. But if you want to FEEL Cincinnati, while feeling right at home and having one of the best meals ever- Soul Secrets is one for the ages.

We hadn't checked on the website, but found out Thursday is oyster day, with $1 oysters and fried oysters and $1.50 for Oyster Bienville. The fried oysters were delicious. The raw oysters were good, though I had one that was gritty. We are going again in two weeks and will try the Oyster Bienville along with other assorted oysters. Two of us had the special Pan Seared Sea Bass. It came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The crisp on the top was delicious and the fish itself was delicate and moist. It did indeed melt in my mouth. The potatoes were very good, though I didn't finish all of them. The greens were good. Mark had a ribeye and is still raving about it today. He ordered the preparation version made with just salt and pepper. He also had a cup of gumbo. He said it had an amazing depth of flavor. We wrapped up with dessert. Three folks had Key Lime Pie. I opted for Karma's Opera Crème Cake. Oh my goodness, it was huge, sweet and delicious. I tried a bit of key lime and it just didn't compare. That said, those who had the Key Lime Pie loved it. Not only would we return, but we have the date already scheduled. I'm looking forward to trying something different.
