   Very good foodie experience. Conner our server was prompt, attentive, and cordial. Cocktails were nice and creative. Corn rib appetizers were tasty but a little messy. Sushi was outstanding. Poke tacos were interesting twist. Can be very noisy when crowd arrives. We would definitely come back when downtown.

   Food was top-notch, especially the Shabu roll and the Brussels. My husband had the tofu fried rice; delicious! Service was perfect. Only question I had: we ordered the tempura special that I thought was veggies & seaweed, but it seemed to be all fish or crabmeat strips. ? Floors are concrete so sound is way too loud, but overall a good experience. Thanks!

   Our server, I think his name was Cody, was very attentive and polite. He made recommendations and they were spot on! The drinks were also very delicious! Next time we’re in Cincy, we’ll definitely be back!

   Service was so slow, food was yum. Had to remind waitress of drink and food order several times.

   Food was burned, server informed us food did not have shrimp and it did/ despite notifying her of allergy. She forgot items and dinner items were served 30 min apart. Manager notified of life threatening allergy situation and all of the other issues and did nothing.

   Baru was excellent. Our server, Conner, was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive and made great recommendations. The food quality was amazing and I will definitely be back! Get a lobster shot. You will not regret it!

   First time dining at Baru and we had a wonderful time. It was my husband’s birthday and both the hostess and our server made him feel very special. Our server (I think his name was Jordan) was amazing and we’ll definitely go back just for him but also because the food was delicious!

   We had an excellent experience all around. Food was delicious and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I love the corn appetizer it was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back and I recommend others to come and enjoy this restaurant downtown. Cheers!

    Loved the decor and glad we went at 6PM--by 7:55 bars and tables booked solid. 🙌 to our waiter Chris who helped us successfully navigate our choices for our first visit-- all delish!!! My disappointment of no Contreau for my margarita resulted in a personal visit from the General Manager, who took the time to discuss how to make new choices available. Great attention to detail and customer service-- can't wait for our next visit. My wife's birthday earned a special dessert, prtfrct finish!! Try the corn ribs, Green Salad and scallops with fried rice.
