    Pink Cadillac
    Erin E.

    Went to Red Feather for our anniversary and we were not disappointed!! Pros - food was amazing!! - best dish we ate: puffy tacos- so flavorful - we also loved the crispy chicken skins, gnocchi, burger, and truffle fries -tasty cocktails! Cons - it was really loud - we were at a tiny table and crammed into a corner with not much room - service was average Food was on point which is why I'd recommend this place!

    My Mr. was looking for the best tapas restaurants in the Cincy area. Both Google and Yelp had excellent reviews so he made reservations for my birthday. I've heard of this place and saw that it was always busy but never crossed my mind to come here. Now I regret not coming here all these years. They offer street parking or valet. The inside is small yet welcoming. Lighting is dim but sets a great mood. The staff is super friendly, patient, and very attentive. Their drink and food menu is simple yet has so much to offer. So most if not all are sharable. We ordered: Bottle of Raul Perez Ultreia Mencia blend (dry red wine) Lemon pepper cauliflower Mussels Meunière Potato gnocchi Crispy salmon This is the most organized restaurant I've ever been to. The food did not come out all at once. They wanted us to enjoy each dish individually. Which I love because I don't want to rush to eat my meal or worried about it getting cold. Timing on the food was perfect! The cauliflower had great flavor and paired well with the sauce. Both the mussels and gnocchi melted in my mouth. The broth/crème on the mussels was like soup. I wanted to take the bowl and drink the sauce. It was that good. The gnocchi was very rich in flavor and filling. Last the salmon! Oh wow! The best I've ever had! The crispy skin tasted so good and I loved the spinach on the side. The wine we picked paired all well with the meals. I wish I had room for dessert but didn't. This was the best restaurant experience I've ever had and I can see why they are close to a 5 star rating. We are definitely coming back. It's amazing and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

    Went there today for my friends 30th birthday. The best thing of the night was drinking the pink Cadillac. I wouldn't recommend going if you have a large party. We ordered around 8:10pm and got our food around 9:30pm. A few others and I ordered the burger. I asked from mine with no red onion marmalade and done medium, the person across from me ordered hers with the cheese on the side and no red onion marmalade and well done. When hers came out it had the cheese and the marmalade on it. Once she said it was wrong they took it from her and tried to give it to the person next to her who ordered a whole different meal. When my food came out it had no cheese and 3 small pieces of bacon on it. I then asked for more bacon, once received I cut into my burger and long and behold they gave me the well done burger that was supposed to go to someone else ‍. Needless to say I wasn't about to eat establishment.

    I decided to surprise my lady with a visit here for her birthday. She absolutely loves tapas style food so I knew this would be a good spot for that. How good was it? Even better than I had anticipated. The service was epic, the ambiance was very cozy and cool, and the food was amazing. The whole experience was truly top-notch. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance, which I'd definitely recommend, since they were packed the whole time. The place itself isn't huge but does have quite a lot of seating. Our server, Amy, was tremendously knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us the rundown on the menu and offered great suggestions. We started with a bottle of Raul Perez Ultreia Mencia Blend, the lemon pepper cauliflower, the mussels Meuniere, and the potato gnocchi. Amy brought each dish out individually so we were able to enjoy it all one-by-one. Each dish paired immensely well with the wine too. But after those dishes, we decided to indulge in one more, and that was the crispy salmon. Possibly the best salmon dish I've ever had and cooked perfectly. My lady usually doesn't eat the salmon skin and she did this time. However, when it was time for dessert, there was no more room at the inn. Maybe next time, and we already know there will be a next time. Yes, tapas can be a bit pricey, but Red Feather is worth every penny. My lady truly loved the whole experience and it showed. Why not surprise YOUR loved one wity a trip here? If they're tapas fans, they'll love it too.

    Short Rib & Potato Gnocchi
    Erica Z.

    Wow!! The best short rib I've ever had. We went in the middle of the week & although it was half full of people the volume was perfect. Our waiter was very informative about the menu. We also got the ricotta with honey which was fabulous. Our waitress brought out extra bread without us asking. The gnocchi was fine - I am not a huge gnocchi fan though so I am not the best judge for that. We are returning in a few weeks because I enjoyed the food so much!

    Alabama White BBQ Chicken (forgot to take a picture before I started digging in because it was THAT good)
    Kacie R.

    My husband and I visited Red Feather Kitchen last month when we were in town for a show, and talk about a wonderful experience. The ambiance was softly lit and romantic. We loved the open kitchen. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. He advised that the pasta options were smaller plates, like a tasting menu, so we decided to order the Cacio e Pepe to share as a starter, and oh my goodness, it was incredible. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Scallops which he raved about, and I had the Alabama White BBQ chicken. I forgot to get a picture before I started digging in, because it was mouth-watering and I couldn't wait. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sauce and the pimento cheese grits were so decadent. The pecan brussel sprouts were perfectly crispy. I think my eyes rolled back in my head while I was eating. Absolute perfect experience. (My brother, who is a local, recommended the espresso martini, but sadly, they were out of espresso, so I'll have to try it next time.)

    Hammersly and Barachoit Oysters
    Amy D.

    We went on a Tuesday night and sat at the bar with friends. The bartender, Hugh, was lovely and took great care of us all night. We weren't sure about some of the wines, so Hugh let us taste a few different ones and we landed on the Rose. The four of us decided to split a dozen oysters, six of the Barachois (PEI), and six of the Hammersly (WA). They were $4 a piece and although they both tasted great with the lovely mignonette, one type was small, the other downright tiny. $48 for 12 very small oysters was not worth it. We also ordered the ricotta, which was presented beautifully and was delicious. We tried the asparagus soup and were very disappointed that it tasted nothing like asparagus. It was more like a cheese soup. It also was yellow, not green like we expected. For our mains we ordered the gnocchi and the mussels. The gnocchi were on the dense side, but the sauce was fabulous. I wanted to lick the plate! The mussels were larger than normal PEI mussels I am used to. Their consistency was softer, but their flavor was good . My only wish was that the sauce was more abundant and less cream forward. We had to ask for bread because they are not served with anything to soak up the sauce. Our friends had the puffy tacos, beet salad, and the burger. I didn't taste the burger, but it looked great with tons of fries. I did taste the beet salad, which I eat regularly at home, and this version was very delightful. The tacos tasted very homemade, but the spiciness took over and I couldn't really discern what meat was in them. Chef Brad came out and talked to us at the end of our meal which was very cool. I am very much looking forward to going back and tasting more of their spring menu. The scallops, agnolotti, risotto, and chicken will be up next!

    Met a friend for drinks and appys!!! With it being my first time here I was really impressed from atmosphere, to service, to food .... For our drinks we had the Apricot Fizz... tasty & bubbly always wins me over... Also had the FAMOUS ricotta and honey ... STUNNING.... And the puffy tacos also yummy .... I seriously cannot wait to find a break in my schedule to go for the full dinner experience...

    BBQ Chicken Sando
    Ed P.

    With the world slowly opening back up again, my wife and I had our first date night in a long while at Red Feather Kitchen. They claim to be an upscale casual dining experience, so pretty much anything goes. Some tables are white table cloth while others are not. Some customers were dressed more formally, while I was pretty casual. Reservations aren't necessary on a weeknight but are available online. We started with a wonderful dish of whipped ricotta served with grilled baguette slices. This was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. It was served to our table quickly and was more than enough for two. The ricotta has some truffle oil and chives, but the ricotta itself really stood out to me. My wife enjoyed some chicken tacos. These were each small in size, but five made up the serving so it was quite plentiful for the price. The shell itself was lightly fried to a bit off a puff. These were not very easy to pick up and eat without making a mess, more of a fork and knife taco. I enjoyed the BBQ chicken sando with Alabama white BBQ, cheddar cheese curds, and onion straws. The $19 price tag was a little high for a sandwich that doesn't include a side dish. However, with that said, I did enjoy the sandwich and the flavors it offered. We also had a side of asparagus, but probably should have skipped this. At this point, we had more than enough food on the table and could not finish it all. Red Feather is a good spot for a date night regardless of what the occasion. There is something on the menu for nearly every palate and at all different price levels.

    Roasted olives
    Jay N.

    I have only dined once at Red Feather. It was enough of an experience for me to give a rating. I can say with ease that at least on the evening that I came, things could've been better. The one word descriptor here is heterogeneic; good food, a casual atmosphere, and willingness to accommodate confused by unacceptably slow service and food timing and person dependent service quality. Honestly, it almost seemed like my reservation for one lacked the priority that other groups received. I made a reservation days in advance given the limited seating and the desire to dine on a weekend. Luckily a table for one isn't difficult to do. Arriving at the restaurant right at doors open led to a small traffic jam as others who also had reservations at the same time arrived. My seat was awkwardly at the corner of the entrance/bar room. I personally noted that given my proximity to the door, I would be close to patrons who entered and waited to be seated alongside people waiting at the bar waiting for a take out order. Upon immediate seating I noted the awkwardness and asked the hostess if it would be ok. She quickly reassured it would be safe distancing. As it turned out my personal concerns were legitimate but I also came across the challenge of frequent cold drafts from the opened entrance alongside the drafty windows. I've never written that a restaurant seat was too cold for me until today. Even with my coat on, I was shivering. Reseating options were apparently limited. I opted to sit in my traffic filled, cold corner. Appetizers were spot on and a highlight, including oysters (fresh with a rasberry mignonette!), roasted olives (lightly blistered with soft warm center) and whipped ricotta with charred bread topped with honey. Simple dishes with perfect texture and balanced flavor. Unfortunately limited by what is above and below. Off to a great food start atleast, I excitedly ordered the dry age rib eye (a rare find in Cincinnati --- I couldn't wait!!!). As it turned out this was out of stock for the night. My excitement minimized and my attention was turned to the award winning pork chop. The chef was kind enough to make me a pork chop that wasn't smoked given my food allergy; a plus and point of kindness that was sincerely appreciated. Unfortunately this was erased quickly by an extremely long wait time (an hour from time the food was ordered until it was delivered, which seemed to only be delivered after I asked the bar tender where my food was). The pork chop arrived. It was tough, dry, and cold upon arrival. Similarly the smashed baked potato was lack luster. I tried to quickly eat some parts of the porkchop and then forfeited the rest. At this point I found my self frustrated by the the total experience The waiter offered to get get some other food started after I shared my experience . Given I was there for two hours already, I ordered my dessert to go and asked them to move forward quickly given I lost my patience with the disappointments. Notably, Chef was kind to come and check in on me after I expressed my frustration regarding the porkchop. Given I had made the exception to go out for dinner, I was so excited to try Red Feather. While I would love to try it again, the mixed experience in the setting of the prices and pandemic makes me hesitant to fork over so much money for another potential failure. Maybe sometime, months down the road, I may try again. Until then, I would caution people that while the experience can be good here as suggested by other reviews, this may not always be the case

    My wife got reservations for Red Feather to celebrate my 55th birthday. I think RF can be truly great, but our experience was mixed. The best way I can put it is by breaking down a few elements separately. Menu and entree concepts and design 5/5. Very unique and interesting takes on dishes and you won't find these dishes anywhere else. Actual food preparation 4/5. The risotto was soupy and the short rib on-plate ratio was off. Service and dining experience 3/5. The dining room was tightly packed so there was always a waiter or server sliding behind us and we were situating ourselves so we didn't bump the adjacent tables. Our waitress was nice but it was very transactional. Deliver menu. Take order. Bring check. The question we asked ourselves: is it worth the 25 min drive for the total experience versus other options? For us, not really. If we were in the area already or meeting friends, sure. Now for more detail, if you aren't bored yet. RF is one of the old school restaurants in Oakley that is built around a repurposed building from the early 1900's, and the eclectic upscale dining experience is reflected in a multi-room, multi-level seating experience and with on street parking. This is a perfect setting for a higher end, elevated farm to table eating experience. 10 years ago this was about the only style restaurant in the area. Now with Oakley Station nearby, there are many new style eateries with big parking lots in the vicinity but this remains one of the few that are chef led and food driven. The food was good. The beet salad and short rib (meat only) were exceptional in preparation. The risotto was well conceived as a dish, but from a purist standpoint it was a too soupy to be considered a good risotto. My other nitpick was the ratio of short rib to root vegetables was off. These minor points are only relevant as compared to the experience ethos of Red Feather as fine dining. The portions were on the small side which I expect for higher quality food. Just as a reminder for anyone looking for quantity. The service was very transactional. From the time we sat till the time we were done and paid was 45 min, and we ordered one appetizer. No water was brought to the table or lagniappe snack. No "welcome to the restaurant" banter or menu/food highlights or really anything. The menus were dropped, we ordered, ate, paid. Kind of like a Waffle House, but at 5x the price. Take that back, even WH offers more banter.

    Whipped ricotta appetizer.
    Samantha J.

    Definitely recommend this place! The ambiance and service was top notch- our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. The whipped ricotta appetizer was one of the best parts of the meal and is a must have. The truffle fries and potato gnocchi was also phenomenal. My husband found the steak to be overcooked, even after sending it back to be re-cooked. Other than the steak, would 100% recommend this restaurant!

    Looks super fancy outside, but cute and casual inside. I love the open kitchen concept, and hearing the orders called out. The whipped ricotta and baguette was my favorite. (It's an appetizer ) I would go again , the staff was great and the food was fresh.

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.

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.

It essentially gives the same vibes that Panera did in the 2000s lol Pairs well with the bookstore aesthetic :) The Roasted Pear & Goat Cheese Flatbread is naan bread with roasted pears, goat cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts, and arugula drizzled with a balsamic sauce. It's a dish served at room temperature or cold, which means there's not much adhering the toppings to the naan. That's fine, but makes eating a bit of a dance while trying not to spill/drop anything. The flavors work well together. I've seen many salads with this combination and it transitions over to a flatbread okay enough. I would've wished the roasted pear to have a little bit more sweetness...more like a cooked apple with sugars and a syrupy-ness to bind the cranberries, walnuts, and arugula together. As it was, the goat cheese was the most notable flavor and it was somewhat overpowering if you didn't get a well rounded bite. Good for those who like goat cheese, like myself, but less desirable for those more interested in the potential sweetness of pear or tanginess from the balsamic. This was fine but not my favorite way to spend $15. It makes a better shareable than personal dish. This is a cup of vegetarian chili. It has fresh veggies, beans, tomatoes, rice, sour cream, shredded jack, and scallions. This was delicious. I've never had rice in my chili before, so that's was a pleasant surprise. I liked this more than the flatbread, though $8 for a cup of chili seems a little high. I also got a hot chocolate. I didn't get a picture of that, but it was yummy and good enough for $5. Our service was slow, but there were only 2 serves at rush, so I was fine with that. Our waiter seemed very sweet and he's been my server at least once in the past too. Very entertaining and kind, just spread thin.
