Enter David's Kitchen & Bar, opened for a little over a year now at 1020 Ohio Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45245. My daughter joined my wife and me on this visit, and while there is a kids menu, she opted for something more exciting and went with the crispy chicken sandwich topped with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles on a potato bun with a loaded baked potato on the side ($15.69). Nothing too out of the ordinary, but a solid chicken sandwich and potato. My wife ordered the tender basket with fries ($13.99), which featured hand-breaded and fresh tenders that were really good. Their fries are also hand-cut and freshly fried. Good stuff! I enjoyed the grilled chicken balsamic sandwich topped with balsamic glaze, pickled onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and a mozzarella cheese melt served on a potato bun along with a small garden salad on the side ($15.69). I think this was the star of the meal. The balsamic glaze combined with pickled onion was outstanding!

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.

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!

After seeing a show at Riverbend, we stopped in here as it was a) open, and b) close to our hotel…read more We had to pay a $5 cover charge (each) because there was a country band playing in the back room. We found 2 seats at the bar, and a young lady wearing a bucket hat waited on us. I asked if the kitchen was still open (it was around 11 pm on Sat.) and she said yes. I ordered the fish & chips, with a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon Ale. Boyf ordered a pour of bourbon, and a burger. My entree look fine but was missing the cole slaw. I asked for it, and there was some confusion whether is came with or not. The other bartender may have been new, but bucket hat girl it did and I got a pretty large side of it. Everything tasted good, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back if in the area again.

There are a few gals who know how to serve, but not sure they all know to work together like a team. The manager is trying hard to fill in the gaps, and is so helpful. She got our drinks after about 10 min of us sitting at a table. The ambience is loud, crazy and overstimulating. The music alternated between a TV music video station, the jukebox and a live band with 2 of them competing at times. I liked the band and appreciated the music. I wish they would turn off the jukebox. There is A LOT going on with Keno, 10+ TVs that I could see, beer posters and ads everywhere. Tables low tops, high tops, bar chatter, cold breezes from the outside door with freezing temps, and just seems like a place that echos every sound. I can tune it all out, but some may not. Is it a sports bar, gambling bar, local watering hole, dive bar restaurant, outdoor lovely lounge with cool fire pit, or live music stop? Yup all of them!

The food is always consistently good. I've ate here at least half a dozen times and everything is always well done. I seem to always keep coming back to the goat burger.

The beer is always ice cold and tunes are good too.

We arrived at 6p to an average evening crowd and were quoted 30 minutes to get a table. It ended up taking 60 minutes. Further, we then waited about 15-20 minutes for a server to greet us. Multiple times we were told about issues with the kitchen and how everyone was having to slow service and tables because the kitchen couldn't handle it. We looked around and by the time we sat down after 7p half the restaurant was empty! We finally got (some) of our food around 8p which was a bizarre mix of appetizers and entrees that were very lukewarm. The presentation and concept is great and we really enjoyed the beers. However, the SERVICE and operational management of this place was running like a restaurant just opened last week or something out of 'Bar Rescue'. Not sure we would want to go back...

We came in to check out the burger week special which is simply "The Burger" here. They really didn't need any gimmicky stuff, they have a great tasting burger! It's all about the beef. This beef was not from a manufactured frozen patty, and it was great tasting and cooked perfectly (lots of juice). You get to choose your cheese and I went with a classic cheddar. Good job APG. You serve a great burger.

Kudos to the hostess because there was a really rude guy there that was upset that they took a 10 person party back before him and he said well we made reservations and she said well they did too and he started screaming at her about how he made him that morning.

I ordered a grilled chicken Caesar salad salad and it was very plentiful. Presentation was nice. Our server was very attentive, even with how busy she was.

Good customer service is almost a lost art these days, so it makes me even more appreciative of Red Lobster's communication, follow-up, and effort to reach out and improve my less than stellar experience.

I ordered the loaded potato soup which is a favorite for me - it's a comfort food for sure - it tastes just as good as I remember with chunks of potatoes and bacon. The rolls dipped in the soup are perfect, but the rolls definitely aren't as fluffy as they could be or used to be even when we got some fresh. I also ordered the Salisbury steak which had a good flavor but needed more gravy.
