   My husband and I had a great evening at Pennyflower. We had a fabulous server named Olivia. She is a role model for others. Olivia gave recommendations that were worthy. Fabulous lycee cocktail, delicious whipped feta (bread a bit too burned for me), delicious vegetarian lasagna, my husband had the pork chop and burned pineapple dessert, I would pass on the dessert on our next visit. Friendly staff. Lovely room. Better experience than under the last ownership of this space. Comes highly recommended.

   The ambiance and location were great. The food was very salty for my taste. Our favorite thing of the night was the burger. We also had the whipped feta app, deviled egg/egg salad toast, bone marrow, and lobster bisque. We would return for the burger or whipped feta

   We loved the food at Pennyflower! We weren’t sure what to expect because it’s in a corner hotel by the entrance to the highway in downtown Cincinnati, but we were very happy with our experience. They have top shelf liquor choices, delicious cocktails and good wine selections as well. We had many different dishes- including the whipped feta toast, all three salads, Amish chicken, chicken schnitzel and the smash burger. Maurice surprised us at the end with the crème brûlée!

   I had a great experience at this new hot restaurant in downtown Cincinnati. The staff was supper attentive, particularly our waiter, Nick. He was great and provided lots of great recommendations. The ambience was big, bright, and has a comfy elegance vibe. Cocktail list was great, I recommend the Cincinnati Gin! For appetizers we were blown away by the Feta Toast. The salads were well portioned and you could add a blackened chicken to it. Highly recommend!!

   What a lovely food experience. The chef and our server were attentive to a dairy allergy and everyone had a delicious meal. We ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow and Salmon Agua Chile to start and were delighted. We split a Grain Salad and had the Wester Ross Salmon and Sakura Bone-In Pork Chop for entrees. Everything surpassed all our expectations. We will definitely return.

   First time here and loved the croquettes and grain salad. Had Salmon for main dish and very tasty but would have preferred less sauce or on the side. Our waiter started off great and seemed to get spacier as the meal went on. Never brought our bread even though ordered, and almost forgot a cappuccino for my friend and had to be promoted to bring sweetener, again had been ordered. My friend didn't have a spoon, she used mine. He seemed stressed out. Not sure what was going on. Also louder in the restaurant than we liked. Hard to hear the others at my table.

    The service was impeccable! Our server Olivia was amazing and even when she was behind others came to check on us and we felt very cared for.
