    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!

    My wife and I have dined at Jeff Ruby’s a few times over the years. One of the finest establishments that I have ever been in. From the moment you walk in the door you will be amazed at the ambience. When it is time to eat you will have the best steak of your life. Every side dish is amazing (especially those tater tots) and you can’t forget a piece of butter pie! Special shout out to Andrew and Lupe who worked hand in hand to make sure our experience was amazing as usual. See you again soon!!!

    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!

    The igloo was great, our server was very nice. I disagreed a little bit with the minimum because we were the only people there (no other igloos were booked, and it was lunch time) - but all in all it was good!
