Our host was able to make reservations for seating areas for large numbers of people, so once we had two areas of a dozen or more, and a couple other times we had one area of that size. This flexibility was a big plus because we could only guess at how many would make it each time. We had ice-cold beers of every description, including IPAs, hazys, and other local crafts. I can't name them all, and some drafts aren on the printed menu, bu5 8 kniw we had Psychopathy, a flavorful IPA, and Seeing Colors Tropical IPA, with a sweeter / hazy profile. Dont miss their cocktails! We loved the S'More Espresso Martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, coffee tiqueur, and espresso :-) So much yum! And we ordered various pizzas. Our favorite was the Scenic Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, black olives) and the Vista Veggie (about the same without the meats). I also saw friends devouring Caprese Canyon (olive oil, minced garlic, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, roma tomatoes, balsamic drizzle). And of course regular pepperoni. Tasty crust, tasty red sauce, (you could get white sauce), generous toppings. We got the large sizes, which were enough for at least four people per pie. Sandwich-wise, the most popular was the Cuban Reuben: marble rye, corned beef, ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It's the added ham and pickles that move it toward a Cuban sandwich. Well-stacked, hot, and flavorful. For local flavor, the Goetta sandwich: that flavorful Cincinnati oat-pork hash, with candied bacon, american cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and ranch. Here and there we shared Buffalo fried-Cauliflower with celery and ranch on the side. This was. Not as spicy as it could be. But if you're going to eat cauliflower, this is tasty approach. We like the tangy Fried Pickle Spears better, served with lightly-spicy chipotle ranch. And we added some fresh crunchy Caesar salads, too, and and amazing pecan, apple, blue cheese, cranberry salad! So many candied pecans! Somehow, the servers kept up with an erratic flow of orders from different groups, keeping track on portable devices, so it was easy for each group to settle their own bill as-needed. It may not sound like much, but it was impressively smooth and error-free. And the staff remained helpful,and cheerful throughout. They built a large playgroup area with slides and climbers and more. Inside there's a large play camper that we spent a lot of time in, too! This is a great place for fresh-air dining, for large groups, and especially for kids. We lived the food and drink. Lots of wonderful leftovers, especially those huge pizzas!

We accidentally walked into an area with zero signs, no fences, and absolutely no indication that it was off-limits--unless they expect guests to be psychic. Cue the staff coming at us like we were trespassing on sacred land. Rude, confrontational, and totally uncalled for. We hadn't even made it to the market yet, but after that lovely welcome, we turned right back around and bought nothing. If you're into surprise attitude and awkward standoffs instead of produce, this place is for you. Otherwise, steer clear--plenty of other farms around that don't treat potential customers like criminals for walking on grass.

I've been here twice one for a work event that was more professional and another for Cincinnati Magazine's Sweet Victory which was more fun and exciting. I must say it works for either event. They have two levels so if you're trying to have something that's more private like a reception before the big event you can do that upstairs and then have a party downstairs. Parking is great too. Their staff is awesome and very accommodating to what you might need.

We had workspace, ability to present on screens but also spread out, snacks can catered meals, even access to an outdoor deck to soak up the sun. The staff was super friendly, and there's even a slide to get downstairs faster. It reminded me of a mini version of how I felt when I visited the Googleplex! I would recommend this to folks who want to get off site for a collaborative team workspace. It's not the typical cubicle office, so you get to embrace the creative feel they provide. Love how they modernized these old buildings to create something functional.

This is a very nice garden for not only the little ones, but the kids. It is actually a garden…read morewithin a larger garden. It is in Glenwood Gardens and covers 12 acres. They have a ton of parking and admission is $5.25 in season and $2.75 during winter months. However, since it is in a another garden then you will have to pay that admission too. I think it is $3. No one was at the gate when I came there, so I did not have to pay it. This garden is well maintained and has lots to see. There is a prairie and nicely paved trails. The highlight of the place is the storybook looking area called Discovery Garden. It has Trolley Garden, a spot were small trains run along the tracks. They had a haunted train and a Thomas train among others, running the tracks. The center piece of the area is the tree house called the Discovery Tree. My small one found it a bit creepy. The house is very nice and in the form of a face. You will find creature (not real ones) in there like an owl, bats, and an opossum. If you look closely, you can see gold fish and tadpoles in the water running past the tree house. My littles also liked the Garden Workshop, which is right next to the tree house. They have a few small animals in there like a turtle, a tarantula, a snake, and cockroaches. Outside of the workshop you can make it rain and pump water into buckets where you can then use it to water nearby plants. The staff that works there is very friendly. Off to the corner of the area is a small pastel colored house that kids can go in and have little tea parties. There is a large wizards hat that kids can play in and a small outdoor amphitheater/storybook area. There is also a misting tunnel shaped like a caterpillar that leads to the butterfly garden. The ground is very slippery through the tunnel because of the mist, so if you do use it, please be careful. Of course the garden has a gifts shop. That is where you pay for admission. They have a small play area in there with a toy train set up and an interactive machine as well. If you get hungry, don't worry, they have a small cafe. I can't speak much about it though because I did not check it out. This was a nice spot for me and my littles. They had lots of fun in the tree house and watching the trains. We spent about 2 hours there. This place is very picturesque and as calming as a place that kids run around can be.

You don't even have to bring children along if you don't have any. Young and old alike will never forget this wondrous place.

They have purple lights for its eyes, too. -Trolley Garden: Four, small scale trains run on tracks surrounding some of your favorite storybook characters. Of course, there is Thomas the Tank Engine who was always a favorite of my son when he was younger. -Vegetable Garden: Raised beds will put you at eye level with common and not-so-common vegetables. -Grandma's Scent Garden: You'll be surrounded by smelly plants for your pretend tea party here.
