Live meeting friends here. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is friendly and attentive. Careful with the Bloody Mary… it is spicy!

This was an outstanding experience all around. They were very accommodating of our large group (7) and found us a great table. The food was excellent, service was outstanding, and the ambiance was perfect.

Delicious food! Only one person at the register taking orders though. Waited 45 minutes in line. Thought they would've staffed up on the day of an FC Cincinnati game. Once we could order, the food was served quickly and wait staff was attentive.
