So glad to get to the new spot in Cincinnati. I’ve been a fan of Cap City in Columbus for decades, so it’s nice to have them closer. The place is gorgeous and comfortable. The service was excellent. And the food was outstanding.

Beautiful interior facing fountain Square. Felt like a special occasion place without the Jeff Ruby prices! Outstanding service, all the staff were pleasant and acknowledged us. Food was very good, not outstanding. Pastas were average, burger was OK, eggplant appetizer was a wow with the table service. We would return.

I actually made a mistake and booked the reservation at the wrong Red Lobster. We did not go to the Springdale location- but instead went to the Cincinnati Mills location. I didn’t know how to change the location- so if you can - they deserve this review. The food- service- the manager- and the overall evening was great. We had a nice dinner and will definitely go back.
