R B: Great location. Good for brunch, date night, special occasions, or with friends. LOVE their chicken & waffles. Friendly staff.
Arlene: Very tasty beer. Blond was my favorite. And the mussels are very good too.
Eager Eater: Service OK (they wouldn’t let us order the ham & Brie sandwich because it’s “only on the lunch menu,” which apparently didn’t start for another hour, & they forgot to put vanilla in my vanilla latte.

Jane Friedman: Go for the Monday Night Neighborhood Special -- $13 for pasta bolognese, house salad, phenomenal bread -- if you eat at the bar.
Zee Thomson: Try the Grand Tasting Menu Dessert - Smoked ocean trout, fennel 3-ways, egg, capersDelicious!

Sherry Hekmatyar: Probably one of my favorite restaurants!!! The food is delicious!! Such a treat. I will say, I like eating upstairs versus in the main dining room. The main dining room is a little too stuffy.
Todd McFarland: The bone in ribeye had crazy loads of flavor.
Laura M: I hear the bone-in filet mignon is the best. It isn't on the menu so ask your server.
John K: Another awesome meal at this place! Ribeye medium rare-perfect! Wedge salad with pecans great and service was spot on! Don't forget the bread it's from 16 Bricks and I eat way too much of it!
Phil Meier: Very nice restaurant for wining and dining in Cincinnati. I thought the hashbrowns were stellar.
James Walsh: Top flight service. Consistently good food, enjoyable atmosphere, great bar staff.

American Restaurant · Over-The Rhine · 94 tips and reviews
David Billiter: My favorite place for a Sunday Brunch! Chicken and Waffles are unbelievable and the Bloody Marys aren't half bad either!
Serious Eats: The Vine Street bistro location offers indoor and outdoor seating, a full French-American menu and long list of in-house pastries made in an open kitchen, surrounding a communal table.
Jannis B.: First time here and had the 'Nati'. It was delicious! Just wish the crepe itself was a bit smaller or more ingredients stuffed in. Son had the smore waffles and they looked fabulous!
