- FBFreedman BoultonsApr 5, 20195.0We had dinner with friends and found the atmosphere and food to be very good. There is live jazz in one of the rooms, we sat in the back room so we could here the music but it wasn't too loud. The food was very good but not as good as I had hoped. We had the hanger steak with green beans and corn, the steak was better than average but nothing special. Both the green beans and the corn we excellent. We had the Crème Brulee for dessert and it was excellent. Overall the meal and the evening were very enjoyable and we will definitely return.
- CLCourtney LaneNov 5, 20185.0Every part of my visit was immaculate! The manager, Keith was very warm and inviting with many great recommendations on local attractions. The food, drinks, and servers in the restaurant were all delightful. Chef Kestan even makes a phenomenal vegan goetta for breakfast! The Copland room was beautiful and comfortable. I hope I'll have an opportunity to come back to Cincinnati, so I can stay again.
