Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Over the Rhine

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!

Food and service were fantastic! The grill salad was the perfect size to share and tasted great! Lots of tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Empanadas were also excellent - each taste is different but all were great - short rib, jerk chicken and chicken salsa verde were our favorite.

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.

From start to finish, can't say enough about how well the overall experience was. Greeted upon entering and while I was early, invited to go to the bar to wait. Team was a little slow to respond but I noticed the mgr on duty at the door tipped off the bar tender and all was well. After being seated, everything was great. Food and attention to detail awesome. Was thank and taken care of in a timely manner.

Great Galentine’s Event! We always have delicious food with cute decorations! Bella was a great server too!
