    I came here for brunch. View was great, food was fair, nothing to write home about. Spent $101 on a brunch for two and coffee. I left a cash tip and woke up this morning to see that the server decided to add an additional $15 for tip onto my card without my authorization. Hold onto your receipts!

    I took my wife there for an anniversary dinner. The service was good, the atmosphere great, but the food was lacking. I had the 10 oz. New York strip steak and it wore me out trying to chew it. It was pretty much a perfect medium cooked steak, but terrible quality meat. Hate to leave a bad review, but I was sorely disappointed.

    Nikki is Exceptional at The 18 Restaurant! Amazing Service from Start to Finish! My recent dining experience at Eighteen at the Radisson (Covington, KY/Cincinnati Area) was absolutely fantastic, and it was entirely due to the incredible service provided by our server, Nikki. From the moment we were seated until the time we left, Nikki was the epitome of professional, attentive, and genuinely warm hospitality. She greeted us with a welcoming smile, offered great, knowledgeable recommendations about the menu, and ensured our drinks and courses arrived exactly when we needed them, without ever feeling rushed. What truly set her apart was her attention to detail and proactive approach. She clearly takes pride in her work and made our meal feel like a special occasion high above the Cincinnati skyline. She truly provided amazing service from start to finish. If you visit The 18 Restaurant, I highly recommend asking for Nikki—she is a superstar and a true asset to this establishment!

    Pretty cool place to get dinner with the rotating floor. Takes about an hour or so to do one complete revolution with views of Cincy and Covington. Landmarks are pointed out with brass plaques on the window frames and staff was prompt. Food was ok, ordered a ribeye and it was very fatty and chewy, and the brussel sprouts were undercooked. Ended up with food poisoning after. May have been my drink as well because it tasted very funny for a Makers and coke. Made me very sick. Maybe a bad drink or food not sure but still fun experience at the restaurant not after.

    Super disappointed. Book a reservation a week out for my 4 year anniversary with my wife. Got multiple booking confirmations, day before our reservation I got a text asking to confirm we are still on, I promptly responded, and got another confirmation. Day of our reservation and I get a email saying that the restaurant has canceled our reservation. Unfortunately the restaurant doesn’t open till 5, I immediately call and leave a voicemail asking for clarification and I wait till 5pm. I have now called ten times since the restaurant has opened and the phone has gone to voicemail each time. Super disappointed how this has effected our 4 year anniversary day. I was super excited for our first time at this restaurant, I will never attempt again. -100/10
