My parents and I reserved a table for new year's eve and I am speechless. The ambiance is just what you would want for a relaxing, romantic dinner. We got the calamari for an appetizer and it was some of the best ever. My step-father and I got the cod with lobster risotto (perhaps a holiday menu item) and my mom got the fish and gnocchi which she loved. Everything was amazing but be sure to pace yourself! We were stuffed after leaving but it was well worth it. Service is great and food is perfectly timed.

Very nice restaurant with great views of the City of Cincinnati. Great seafood and steaks, I got the Snapper Hemmingway and it was prepared quite well. For desert the Creme Brulee was great. The staff were very good and attentive to customer's needs.

Went here on Christmas night. Not sure exactly if they were short staff or overbooked, but it was bad. We had a reservation for 5:30pm we weren’t seated till 6:45pm. We didn’t receive a heads up or any notice of them being behind. We were sat down and never received our alcoholic drinks, bread, or even water. We later received our food and drinks at 7:30. Exactly 2 hours past our reservation. All in all it was a disaster to say the least.

Food was really good for the wife and I, paid the bill left a $8 tip which was all the cash I had left. And on way out the door, the waitress try to embarrass me by saying thanks for being so generous before walking out the door! No matter the cost of my food was! What gives your employees the right to embarrass their paying guess!!!

I thought this restaurant was fine dining. I went there with my family for a dinner party and I will have to say that I was disappointed. The view was very nice. The servers were great. The food on the other hand was very disappointing for the price. I ordered the mama Lucci‘s Linguine And it was basically buttered noodles with shrimp that I had to take out the shell myself and then I noticed that they didn’t even take the feces vain out. I didn’t notice that the Shrimp hadn’t been cleaned properly until after the second shrimp. I guess I expected this place to have higher standards. Me and my wife spent over $200 on our dinner. I literally had to add my Lobster brusque soup to my noodles to add flavor. I ordered two crown royal and cokes with my dinner and that was nearly $40 alone. I’m not one to complain about money when I’m out for a nice dinner, but in this case, I must say that the whole dinner was just not worth the price And I just don’t think that almost $20 for a crown and Coke is acceptable when the meal wasn’t even right, I guess the next time I want egg noodles with butter, I will just stay home. I at least know how to clean a shrimp and won’t have to worry about eating feces with my meal. Very disappointing and do not recommend eating at this restaurant. I think it’s time for them to reevaluate Their whole dining experience at this restaurant and how they serve the public food and call it fine dining.
