    We went on Thanksgiving and it was quite busy. I think our waiter did his best given the situation. Food and drink were super slow. Took probably 20 minutes just to get bread and maybe 30 to get drinks. Dinner was over an hour. Our waiter was very apologetic for the slow service and didn’t charge us for dessert. We weren’t in a rush but were pretty hungry by the time food arrived. All the food was very good

    The servers were friendly working hard. The food was just ok. The bread was fantastic, hot and full of flavor. There are better places to eat in Cincy. We went for the Thanksgiving dinner and the turkey looked and tasted like lunch meat turkey not a freshly roasted turkey. The sides were good. I ordered the 6oz filet, the flavor was fine but it was a little dry and not tender. My husband said the Bob Evan’s turkey dinner is better.

    I write this as I'm recovering from eating food that I'm allergic to and notified our server about multiple times. Overall, the experience was disappointing. The service was incredibly slow, and our server barely stopped by. One member of our group never got their entree as it had to keep being remade due to errors as other tables got their dishes. The manager tried to make it right, but after two hours we just wanted to go home and I didn't want to suffer in their bathroom after I found ingredients I'm allergic to in my dish. I would not recommend coming here during the holidays, as they are likely short staffed and very little quality control is happening at the management level.

    We had dinner at M&S before going to the theater. It was noted that we had the theater to attend, and our server,Anthony, was on top of it so we didn’t have to be concerned with timing. Anthony knew the menu and the bar / wines very well, and was able to explain and help with any questions. Service was great and the food was SO good. We have never been disappointed with our evening at M&S and this was no exception. We will be back again….

    Our sever came to our table a total of 3x, had to track him down for help. Also, we had to get the check adjusted due dishes not being delivered before we finished our entree.

    Overall our experience was excellent! From the hostess to our server, Autumnly, we felt welcomed & cared for throughout our time at M&S. The calamari & crab/shrimp stuffed salmon was scrumptious.
