    My husband and I had a great evening at Pennyflower. We had a fabulous server named Olivia. She is a role model for others. Olivia gave recommendations that were worthy. Fabulous lycee cocktail, delicious whipped feta (bread a bit too burned for me), delicious vegetarian lasagna, my husband had the pork chop and burned pineapple dessert, I would pass on the dessert on our next visit. Friendly staff. Lovely room. Better experience than under the last ownership of this space. Comes highly recommended.

    The ambiance and location were great. The food was very salty for my taste. Our favorite thing of the night was the burger. We also had the whipped feta app, deviled egg/egg salad toast, bone marrow, and lobster bisque. We would return for the burger or whipped feta

    We loved the food at Pennyflower! We weren’t sure what to expect because it’s in a corner hotel by the entrance to the highway in downtown Cincinnati, but we were very happy with our experience. They have top shelf liquor choices, delicious cocktails and good wine selections as well. We had many different dishes- including the whipped feta toast, all three salads, Amish chicken, chicken schnitzel and the smash burger. Maurice surprised us at the end with the crème brûlée!
