Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Clifton

We brought my brother and sister-in-law here for the first time on 2/15/25. Our server Merrick (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Phenomenal dinner, food came out quickly and was delicious. The guys got whole chickens and my sister in law got the chicken sandwich. We ordered fries, spoon bread, succotash, horseradish mashed potatoes, shrimps and grit and macaroni and cheese. We had a lot left over but they wanted to try everything. Last night, the shrimps and grits stole the show though, 10/10! Our only issue, I hate to mention it because we had such a wonderful time but since I am deaf in one ear I feel it may be helpful to someone else; we were seated under a speaker and the music was so loud. So if you’re going and you have hearing issues, maybe ask not to be seated close to where their speakers are. Highly recommend if you love quick, efficient service and pipin hot, yummy food!

Nice food. Excellent fried pickles and fish and chips. I suggest the Parmesan fries. The flight was also good with the house light lager being a highlight. Good service and had a nice Valentine’s Day with my fiance !!

We ate at The Davidson for Valentine’s Day dinner and had an amazing experience! The staff was so kind and handed out roses to all the tables which was such a sweet touch. Every dish we had was incredible, especially the arancini and the vodka rigatoni. The bread and butters were also delicious and my husband loved his scallop dish! The only thing we were slightly bummed about was being seated in the heated patio area as the inside is so beautifully designed, but it was still a lovely meal and warm! Can’t wait to go back again!

Alcove is an overall fantastic experience. The lush greenery along the walls only adds to the experience. From top notch service and delicious food, Alcove is a “must do” on any visit to Cincinnati.

Absolutely stunning evening to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We will be back.
