Went with the fish and chips per a recommendation from our waitress and it didn't disappoint. Wide variety of options on the menu, everyone from our group enjoyed their meals. Good service on a busy Saturday night. Will have to come back when the weather is nice to check out the rooftop! read more

This is a nice place to come with friends or family. I was in a group of 19, and 4 of us sat at our own table. We were immediately seated and ordered. Our food came right away while our friends in the larger table took a long time. Arianna was our server and she was excellent. Attentive but didn't hover. I got the Fajita Bowl with chicken, hubby got Alfredo Bowl with chicken and two little garlic breads. Another got Fried Fish and fries. So hubby said his Alfredo had good flavor, chicken was cooked nicely, but the garlic bread was hard as a rock. He said the sauce was thick and wished it was a little creamier. Mine tasted good, had a nice blend of corn, black beans, red peppers and chicken was perfect. The only thing I would add would be some salsa. Our friends enjoyed their food as well. They have a really nice rooftop seating area as well as patio seating. It was raining so we sat inside and it was clean and comfortable. read more

The food is always consistent and delicious. The staff is always very friendly knowledgeable and accommodating! Take friends who have never been before and they are pleased as well! The only negative is lack of parking read more

I came here for a work lunch on a Thursday. It wasn't too crowded and had a warm cozy vibe inside. I ordered the Caesar Salad wrap which tasted pretty good. They wrap itself wasn't wrapped too well. I enjoyed the wrap on the outside was grilled and the inside still a bit cool. The only thing was the service was quite slow. Our server was nice but did not come back very often and took a while to take our order. She did not ask if we needed anything once our meals came either. My order came out wrong but they did go back and fix it. I would possibly back to try again but hope the service is improved. read more

Dependable comfort food. I love their fish and chips - very nice portions of fish and well prepared. Service is friendly and fast. It's nice to carry out or eat there - spacious with high ceilings and a relaxing neighborhood vibe about it. read more

This is one of my wife's and my new favorite places. The staff treats us like neighbors, always helpful and friendly. The prices are extremely reasonable and the food really good. They have some nice house cocktails and a good beer list for not being a microbrewery . read more

SwingLine Madeira - Meatloaf! - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We come to Swingline often. All the food has been great ! The craft beer selection is good also. I've tried many new ones when they rotate the taps. We just went today and both of us tried something different from what we like. My friend had fish and fries, I had a Caesar salad with chicken. Both quite tasty and as always, huge portions ! The servers are always friendly and our food comes quickly. Always a great experience ! read more

This place is ok. The service was good but the food was just ok. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer first. An Old Fashioned for me and an Espresso Martini for my daughter. We ordered the Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Platter appetizer. My daughter ordered the Tuscan Chicken entree. I ordered the Swingline Salmon. The cocktails were awesome! Perfectly made. The hummus appetizer was pretty good. It's hummus, veggies and some pita triangles. Our entrees arrived about two minutes after the appetizer. The server came over right afterwards to remark that she tried to time it better. Since our entrees arrived at the same time as the appetizer - we didn't eat much of the appetizer because we didn't want our entrees to be ruined. It really didn't make much of a difference anyway. My Swingline Salmon was overcooked. It had good seasoning and flavor but the dryness made it unappetizing. The potatoes and Brussels sprouts served with it were pretty good. My daughter said the Tuscan Chicken was ok. I tasted it and I understood the "ok". She also enjoyed her side items of potatoes and asparagus. But the main dish of the entree was a miss for both of us. We boxed it up to take home. It was a lot to take home. The appetizer since we didn't get a chance to eat it due to poor timing by the kitchen/service and the entrees because they just weren't good enough to finish and we barely touched them. I have no clue why I boxed it up, other than hating to waste that much food/money, because I didn't touch the overcooked salmon the next day and threw it straight in the trash. The service was good. Friendly and attentive. The rooftop atmosphere was nice. Maybe I'll try it again for cocktails on the rooftop but I wasn't impressed by the food enough to hurry back. The rooftop atmosphere is nice - although not the views. read more

Let's start with the food -- wildly inconsistent. I ordered a Cuban that was okay, plenty of meat, but almost no mustard or cheese -- lacked flavor. My brother got a Tuscan chicken he enjoyed, but the portion was small & the asparagus he upgraded to wasn't seasoned. My wife ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes -- no complaints. My cousin got a fajita bowl that he was not impressed with. The biggest offender was the drinks. The bar was clearly stingy with their pours. I had two drinks -- no buzz. Lots of ice, almost no mixer, almost no booze -- pitiful. Order beer or wine if you're going to drink here. The cocktails are like collage dive bar quality, but with restaurant pricing. The service was also lacking, we had to solicit refills from the waitress. She seemed to be more interested in socializing with the other staff & cleaning than hustling a tip -- confusing. TLDR: Cool venue, but the drinks suck & food is plainly average in most instances. If you've got an older relative who doesn't like bold flavors this might be the place for you, but avoid like the plague otherwise. read more

Great selection of food available, can't imagine somebody not finding some thing that they would like. We also have the grilled brussels sprouts as an appetizer with a honey and maple syrup dip and they came with a generous amount of fresh bacon bits. Servers were very attentive and the place is quite open and inviting. Would highly recommend. read more

The food was very average, it reminded me of Fridays. I was disappointed the staff did not put a stop to the kids running amuck, particularly near the front door. We won't be back. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch here. The restaurant is beautiful. They have an excellent kids meal menu and they have really creative and thoughtful entrees for adults. The stuffed mushroom app was delicious, its not huge and I ate the entire app myself. The salads are good and I am also curious about the heartier dinner entrees like lamb or pork chops but haven't been able to try yet. read more

Busy spot , and spot wasn't entirely up to par . Pricey but good stuffed mushrooms for a app , a steak burger that was not made correctly at all, stale French fries , and apparently you can't call to order take out ? We were told to come order in person which wasn't what was ideally the plan so had to wait for the food too there . Beer list was small as well so craft beer snobs May not be a fan of it . I didn't mind it though . My verdict ? 2 out of 5 , and with good potential to improve . read more

We decided to try Swingline in Madeira this past Sunday for brunch / lunch. We had to ask about specialty drinks - yes they have one for fall. They have an apple cider mimosa for the fall. It's served with a cinnamon stick and is good. They have a wide variety menu. Good thing for when you go with hungry people. We decided to try the Garlic and Red Pepper Hummus platter and the sliced filet Mignon for starters. They really enjoyed the filet mignon starter and the sauces it came with, the fresh veggies were good, but the hummus was extremely dry. That will be a pass next time. For lunch we tried the taco salad with tofu - the tofu was prepared well; the club sandwich - it was enjoyed; the steak burger - enjoyed; and the brisket sandwich - the brisket was prepared well. We ordered the specialty dessert - bread pudding with ice cream. That will be a pass next time. The dish was warmer than the bread pudding. They serve it with cut up pieces of bread pudding in a ramen cup (warmed) served with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. For the time it took the dessert should have been warm. They haven't been open that long. (Maybe we'll try the chocolate cake next time since we do live so close.) read more

Such great food and service only the lack of their using a water filter and having better tasting water, coffee, tea is holding them back from five stars. Great meats across the board, had them all, but OMG the water is skanky. read more

Ordered this for takeout and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. My order was ready on time and they had a good system at the bar. I ordered a veggie burger and it came as a build your own so the bun didn't get soggy during travel with all my correct toppings on the side. I do wish they would bring back the original veggie burger that was more homemade with quinoa--this one was more of a standard black bean burger. Love the vegan only grill! read more

My son and I dine there and unfortunately, we both walked away. Very disappointed with both the food and the service. The atmosphere is nice, very pleasant. We just ended up with poor service and did not enjoy either of our food. Neither of us ate more than three or four bites. After being in the service business for so many years, I would have thought the server would have understood that neither of us were able to enjoy our dinner. Unfortunately, we will not be back. read more

Their Cuban sandwich is legit... and large! I committed to eating half for lunch, and that would have been enough, but the other half was calling my name so I did what I thought was right and devoured it. I took a nap on the way home. read more

We're so lucky to have this fabulous new restaurant in Madeira! Service was fantastic. The food was delicious. Our server was Brad and he could not have been any better. The manager stopped over, always nice to see that. The soups were out of this world, delicious and homemade. read more

Food is always superb, service is attentive, and ambience is quiet, roomy perfect for friends, family or business. Table had the giant pretzel, and I mean giant. Greek bowl, my go to always, and the noodle bowl was had by friend & my niece, Rose wine and 2 Irish coffees. Perfecto. Same great quality always, just like their sister spot, Ramseys in Loveland. Go, they will not disappoint. read more

6 of us had lunch here on a Friday..Rory our waitress was top-notch and all the food was excellent and at a reasonable cost. Only suggestion would be to allow patrons to make reservations. I asked and they said they don't take them. I asked the hostess what the wait time would be on a Friday evening about 6:00 p.m. and she said it could be 30 to 45 minutes because they are packed about that time. I also heard a couple of other tables asking about reservations also. I believe it might increase business If reservations were available read more

Great place. I really like the menu. It has traditional gastro pub food, but it also has a lot of great tasting healthy options. The atmosphere is really awesome and stopping by the restaurants neighbor the Gelato place afterwards makes a perfect night. It's a new restaurant so the service was a tad slow, but given that it's only been open a little while that is understandable. In the fall or spring with the garage doors up or sitting on the roof top bar it's a perfect place for a casual meal with some really outstanding food. read more

Well, I came here right after our Tree Lighting and it was significantly busy, but not too loud. We were able to hear our table talk. The price was decent, if you want a "fancy" dinner I'd go here. For 2 steak burgers it's 15$ each, which is kind of pricey if you're on a low budget. But other than that I'd recommend. Great place for the steak burgers :) read more

We always call ahead to make sure we can safely eat at the restaurant (multiple allergy) we were given misinformation over the phone but were assured I. The restaurant that they would be safe. We had 3 wheelchairs which they did accommodate but we were somewhat in the way where we were seated. Our waitress was friendly but we did have to seek her out a few times, and could see her talking to her team members. We ordered 2 burger, A Turkey dinner, a Tuscan chicken Dinner, and a kids grilled cheese. The burgers and sides for the burgers came out well one was a bit over cooked but were enjoyed by those that ordered them, kiddo loved the grilled cheese and fries. Sadly my meal the turkey, was cold, had no flavor, the potatoes were not good, and the asparagus had no flavoring. There was no salt or pepper on the table and it took 15 minutes to flag down the server for those items and another 10 for her to have a conversation with her friends and deliver them. My husband's chicken was actually sent back as not edible, but no one came to speak with us it was left I. The bill, there were no other options offered, it was not fully cooked, it had no taste on the portions that were cooked, his potatoes were also not good. The only thing he did eat was the onion rings which he really enjoyed. The place itself was cute, with the doors and windows open there were flies all over our food and drinks, we were hopeful that we would love it as much as our friends do but sadly I don't believe we will be returning with them anytime soon. read more

Atmosphere and rooftop drinks amazing- wish food was better. I would go more if the food was top notch!

We went on a Friday night and although it was crowded, the service was great! The wait was about 10min for a table around 7pm (wait area inside is small, for us it was standing only) and we didn't think that was too bad. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made great menu suggestions. Our food was good and came out in a reasonable time. The atmosphere is casual, we were inside on the first floor. I would love to go back on a warmer night to experience the upstairs patio. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant in Madeira. Food is great and the prices are reasonable. Love the atmosphere. Great place for families!

Great service which is so refreshing these days. Selection of beer on tap was excellent. Food presentation weak but taste was very good making up for the 'look'. Can't wait to experience outdoor seating when weather warms. read more

We came here with a larger group on a Friday afternoon for lunch and had a great time! They have a wide variety of food options and have many gluten free and vegetarian options too which are hard to find! Definitely a hidden gem and will be going back! read more

Almost a winner. Service was really great! Food was average at best. Our table ordered chicken egg rolls to start, tasted like they came prepackaged. Fajita bowl dry, not much flavor, salmon ok, lasagna special, tasted good, but was more of a jumble of pasta and sauce than lasagna, Thai bowl was the best dish. Basics menu but nothing out of the ordinary, Most of the food tasted like it was prepackaged and cooked rather than made from scratch. read more

Fairly new, off the main drag. Modern, unpretentious, comfortable venue with roof top dining. Diverse menu with many delicious and somewhat unique dishes. Tasty soups. The strip steak appetizer is a meal in itself. The soft shrimp tacos are outstanding as is the meatloaf. Complete bar. Attentive service. Easily and accurately accommodated several allergy related menu modifications. Reasonable prices. Free parking. A pleasant, unrushed place to have dinner with friends. read more

I went to swing line Madera today with my two sisters in laws and Niece. It was the first time we had been there the service was great and I had turkey club with fries. Both my sister malls had burgers and my niece had the salmon atmosphere really nice. I would encourage people to go there and eat. We also had a stuffed tater tots and pretzel for appetizer. read more

Food was fine. Service was fine. Clean and easy seating. Nothing stood out that made me crave more.

Way too loud. Service is slow and inconsistent. Food order was partly wrong, food was cold. Waitress did not make sure we had our correct order. Watching other servers they are not attentive to their tables and needs! Needs work on attention to table service! read more
