    We’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!

    Amazing experience. Our server Dustin was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. From drinks to apps to desserts. We couldn’t have asked for better food or service. The manager Ashley stopped by and checked in on us and was very friendly and sweet. It’s was a nice touch. We will definitely come back to this location again. So many good things to say about this dining experience. Book your reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

    My wife and I have never had better pasta than here at Sotto. We would for sure come back next time we are in Cincy. From the beef short rib pasta, goat cheese app, the the dessert it was beyond amazing. Must try if you can make it while visiting Cincy!

    We had a delightful, delicious and unhurried dinner this evening at Boca. This was important especially because family from LA was with us, and we were given the perfect balance of careful attention and space to enjoy our company

    We had dinner at The Davidson on the day they opened, and since we eat here often - and enjoy it each time. Their cocktails are beautiful and delicious. One of the things I like best is that it's possible to have a yummy full dinner meal, a sandwich, or appetizer. The salads are generous and fresh. The sandwiches are high quality. It's a fun place to eat, lots of people watching both inside the restaurant, and those walking to and from Fountain Square. The only negative is that the music is usually too loud but if you ask they will often graciously turn down the volume.
