    Great burgers and ambience. After our meal an 8-piece band played jazz, which was great. We kind of felt rushed to leave and give up our table or we would have stayed longer. The $4 up charge to switch from potato salad to another side seemed a bit much. We will be back and are excited to try other menu options. Massive drink and beer menu.

    Stopped by before a show at the Aronoff. Got to sit upstairs for the first time in a long time. Had one of the rooms to ourselves with a delightful waitress with perfect timing. Food was great as usual and so different from typical restaurant fare. 5 stars across the board from me

    Finally made it to this long-standing icon in Cincinnati. Pretty seamless reservation/ordering process. Friendly and suggestive server; great ambience; live music; food was sent out pretty quick and tasted amazing. Hope to come back soon!

    Consistently great service and food. A bit chilly in the outside courtyard today, which is unusual. A perennial favorite of our family!
