    We always enjoy these fixed price meals at Bakers Table. The pace of the service is relaxed but not slow. Courses were spread out perfectly. We did not do the wine pairing, instead bought bottles of wine which were excellent . There was a 23% tip added to the wine which I felt was a bit high, but we were already in for an expensive evening. Great fun for a group. We were in restaurant for 2.5 hours.

    Colette is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. This was our second visit and we love every part of the meal. Bread service, carrot salad, duck, Icelandic cod, and rice pudding. Both main courses are as good as you can get outside of Iceland and Beijing

    We had a wonderful late dinner after The Christmas Carol at the Playhouse. The staff is like family having been with Jean Robert for many years. The food was great! They had as a special Dover Sole with a flavorful sauce. I had a fois gras special as a starter that was exceptional. Jean Robert would be proud. I am happy to recommend this restaurant for a great experience and meal.

    I always look forward to dining at Boca, the food is always delicious and the service is seamless. If you're an oyster fan you should definitely try theirs-you won't find any better. I'm a real fan of their chicken dish -with risotto and carrot. I keep coming back to ordering it because it's perfect! If you're uncertain what wine to choose with your dinner-let the staff help with a good pairing-I enjoyed what our server suggested and it's a good way to try something new. Boca is a real gem of a restaurant and Cincinnati is lucky to have it.
