Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in University Circle

Great crab cakes and vegan Caesar salad. Waitress was also very pleasant. Would come again.

Excellent experience at Valerio's. Food was fantastic. Veal Osso Bucco was expensive but delicious with a capital D. The appetizer of buffalo mozzarella with marinated cherry tomatoes was very good and a nice change from just sliced tomatoes. Tables are pretty close together. Se,vice was excellent. Highly recommend. We will return.

Amazing restaurant with thoughtful details and energy food was a 5 star! Great ambiance and can’t wait to tell all my family and friends!

Absolutely wonderful dining experience. The service was incredible, food delicious, and ambience perfect. We had a lovely evening entertaining our European colleagues and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you!

I enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at a recommended restaurant; Fahrenheit... The decor, cuisine, and service were outstanding—I truly struck gold tonight! Here’s how it went. Fahrenheit opens with a small loaf of focaccia that sets the bar high: served warm, accompanied by honey, truffle oil, and olive oil subtly spiced with chili pepper flakes. Each bite of this rich, aromatic bread hints at the culinary creativity to come. When I requested fresh-squeezed lemonade, they delivered with a perfectly tart and refreshing glass—a gesture that signals the level of hospitality here. The best places always accommodate, and Fahrenheit makes it effortless. Their take on Mexican street corn? A reimagined soup, velvety like a corn chowder but brimming with depth. Corn, sour cream, shaved parmesan, bacon, and a medley of onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and spices—all come together in a luscious blend that’s as visually appealing as it is bold in flavor. For the main course, I opted for the Vietnamese Pork Chop. The meat was tender and flavorful, and when paired with the lemongrass fried rice and sautéed mango, the plate became a playground of textures and flavors, striking that perfect balance between complementary and contrasting. Imagine the thrill of fireworks on your taste buds. Despite a satisfying meal, the dessert menu was too tempting to ignore. I decided to linger, making space for the Sizzling Blueberry Cobbler. Served warm with a cornmeal cake biscuit, sweet blueberry compote, vanilla bean gelato, and a bourbon-brown sugar Chantilly, this dish crowned the meal in indulgent style. Garnished with edible flowers, it was almost too beautiful to eat—almost.
