    I wanted to check out Tom & Chee for years when we lived in Cincinnati, but we never made it to the restaurant until we returned on a frigid winter day in December 2025. I love the concept. I know people really like their food, but I was under-impressed. I guess my expectations were more than what was delivered. The ambiance is not warm. It's kind of industrial and very casual. I am sure the blowing wind and 4⁰ temperature outside added to the coldness of the space. You order your food at a counter and they deliver it to your table. My wife and I both went with a Pick 2 and chose the half sandwich and soup option. I had The Italian Melt and the Creamy Tomato Soup. She had the Bacon Fig and Goat (cheese) and Classic Tomato Soup Both sandwiches were good, I probably should have gone with a full sandwich, it was only four bites (maybe five for a normal person). My wife's handheld, also known as the BFG, was wonderful with the goat cheese melting perfectly with the bacon, sautéed onions, fig preserves and mozzarella cheese. Best part of the meal. My creamy tomato soup was a trainwreck. First, it was lukewarm, not what I needed on a freezing cold day. Second, it was not creamy, and the tomato taste was light. It just did not work at all. I did enjoy my wife's classic tomato soup. More of a rich tomato taste and it had more seasoning in it. Overall disappointing, but I want to visit another location on a warmer day and see if it was just that store. I really wanted to like this place. 😔 #MattGoodEats

    Had missed 2 items in a take out order. Average service with no customers in store. Go to the other location.
