    This place has become our favorite place for celebrating anything. Food is delicious and service is always great. Brewery beer on point. My husband loves the salad selection and I think the calamari is the best. Parking is also convenient since it's under the restaurant.

    The food was delicious. Loved the coleslaw and fries. The fried chicken could have been crispier but it was moist and tasty. I get that it's New Year's Day and they were short staffed. We were patient and polite with the staff but I'd never return on a holiday. It was not a welcoming "we're glad you're here" kind of day.

    We made last minute reservations here to celebrate our anniversary and we’re so glad we did! We’ve gone to many popular restaurants in Cincinnati and our overall experience here was by far the best (above many hard-to-book and highly esteemed spots, I’ll add). To begin, they acknowledged our anniversary (which often doesn’t happen when I note it on the reservation) and provided either a champagne toast or mocktails on the house. We got bread service and The Parrillada Experience with brussels and gnocchi- absolutely delectable. The skirt steak and shrimp were my favorites, and the chimichurris were perfection. Will definitely be back and would most likely order the exact same thing! Our server, Ethan, was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable and made it an all-around great experience. If you’re on the fence, BOOK IT!

    Colette is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. This was our second visit and we love every part of the meal. Bread service, carrot salad, duck, Icelandic cod, and rice pudding. Both main courses are as good as you can get outside of Iceland and Beijing
