    My experience at Pepp & Delores was perfect. Our server, Darla was very informative about the menu, made sure our waters were full and drinks were ordered. She checked in with us to see if we needed anything. She was very pleasant to talk to. Our food was outstanding, it is always top rate. My favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!

    Great experience as always. Sarah was extremely cordial and engaging! Cole did a great job serving our table and had a great amount of knowledge of Italian wines and helped us pair a Super Tuscan with our various courses! The food is always so great and was especially great last night!

    We love Boca! It only took one phenomenal meal at Boca for me to request it for every following anniversary dinner. Six Boca visits later, I am still smitten. The staff is so personal and the hospitality on a different level. Andrew, our favorite waiter, offers menu guidance that never fails. We so appreciated a personal call from Seth to explain snow cancellations and help us with new reservations. Last night, we enjoyed the Pommes Soufflés, Oeuf Mayonnaise, Gnocchi Fonduta (that melted in my mouth) Prime Tenderloin with lobster, and Red Heritage Chicken, Candy Bar and Cheesecake - all to die for.
