Lamb shank and Iskender kabob were very good as always. Make sure to save room for the pistachio baklava.

We had lunch reservations for our 47th anniversary. We were immediately seated on arrival, and promptly greeted by our server Mark. He was happy to be part of our celebration, and shared his favorite recommendations on the menu. So many choices! We had spaghetti with Sunday Sauce, butternut squash ravioli, veal cutlets, salad wedge, freshly baked bread, and of course, wine. Everything was delicious. Thanks for making our anniversary a special day! We will definitely be back. T & C Lane

About the restaurant

New to Cincinnati - Artemis Mediterranean Bistro, authentic Mediterranean cuisine! The owner Mehmet, is from Istanbul Turkey and the dishes presented are full of flavor. Our portions are very generous but I encourage you to save room for one of our amazing desserts like pistachio baklava! We have a very diverse menu to suit everyone’s palette, including vegetarian dishes. We do have a nice selection of wine and a full bar. We do host a lot of large parties for any occasion in either our Wine Room (seats up to 19) or our Event Room (seats 36) . We have hosted parties as large as 130 though. We look forward to serving you and your families soon.

This was our first visit, and it was wonderful, if a bit dark! We needed our flashlight to read the menu. We were not familiar with Ukranian dishes. The server described each of the dishes and wines; she was spot on. We had the borscht which had the right amount of beef and sweet beets with a hint of sauerkraut which was also in the rye perogies. The bit of apple butter with the perogies was a lovely bit of sweetness. The Kvasolya (beans with feta) was flavorful but some of the beans were a bit undercooked. The tomato sauce on the cabbage rolls was neither sweet or acidic which in my opinion is hard to find in Cincinnati. All the dishes were large enough that we had leftovers. We splurged on the cake, Medovik, a layer cake with very light apple-cardamon cream between the layers.

It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It’s undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.

My friends and I had a great experience at Bouquet! They had delicious cocktails and the most yummy and beautiful charcuterie board. We ordered the scallop pasta and maple leaf farms duck for entrees and were more than satisfied. Our server was very attentive and kind!
