Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Mariemont

I spent nearly 10 years living in Louisiana. Sometimes I get craving authentic Cajun cuisine. Doesn't get more authentic than this. Gumbo here is SO good. Key to great gumbo is the roux. You can tell the painstaking attention to detail has been adhered to. Love this place. Live music (on a Saturday night), friendly, impeccable service without hovering (thank you, Tina!), incredible food and drink, and an owner, Joby, who cares about her customers. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Brew River Creole Kitchen. In a town with many wonderful dining options, you'll be part of my regular dining places! Five of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything was very nice. We went the day after valentine’s Day because we know everybody would be going on Valentine’s Day. We arrived early, not knowing what traffic was gonna be like. We were seated within a few minutes. Our waitress was wonderful. The shrimp toast was amazing. The crab raccoon was one of the best I ever had. Me being a shrimp lover I would’ve liked a little more shrimp in the shrimp and mushrooms, but it was fantastic. My husband ate every single bit of his moo guy pan. I had leftovers obviously.

My wife and I made reservations here for Valentine’s day. We hadn’t been to Teak since their Mt Adams location closed. We had an absolutely terrific meal! I ordered a Whiskey Smash and my wife had a glass of wine and we started with some appetizers. I had the hot & sour soup, which was awesome. Be forewarned, though, it is hotter than most I’ve had. We really enjoyed our main courses, too, but they were made better with the coconut ginger rice. They have a nice patio and outdoor seating which we look forward to trying when the weather is better.

We loved the vibe. The music was classic jazz and congruent with NOLA. The service was wonderful. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and our server just knocked it out of the park in our celebration. Thank you! We will tell our friends and we will be back!

Our waitress was very accomodating for the 2 toddlers in our party. Put their order in immediately so they did not have to wait long for their food. The restaurant was quiet, but not many patrons inside. Most were eating outside on this night.
