Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Florence

Christmas dinner with friends could not have been more perfect. It is rare that every bite and every sip is excellent; yet, this was the case during this dinner. Service was present, timely, and efficient, but not disruptive. And the view… well, you are not going to beat that anywhere else in the city. Great location for a special occasion, and the bill was not a mortgage payment. Great experience and value.

There is nothing on this menu that is not amazing. Starting with wine & bourbon lists, Then the appetizers. The charcuterie boards are varied and filled with different, unique tastes. Soups and salads are delicious. Weather its the Filet or the seafood or the burger and fires, you cannot go wrong..............and don't forget the housemade desserts. YUM!

First time eating at this fascinating restaurant with a really excellent view that is different from most Cincinnati Riverside views. Great outdoor and indoor venue at this 7th floor rooftop setting. Unique cooking system with a complete wood-burning grill centered in the dining room, I walked up to look at the fire and the engineering for the immense grill/oven. There is an enticing, smoky aroma in the restaurant when you first enter. If smoke bothers you then what the heck are you doing coming to this restaurant? Because all of the food tastes absolutely wonderful imbued as it is in that incredible white oak, cherry, apple and pear wood smoke. I would get an appetizer or a side rather than the dessert, because the mushrooms were lovely though with a tart taste that I’m not used to having.. That melded with the smoke did make them very memorable. We also tried the crab/scallop/cheddar cheese, dip. Paired with large brioche style bread, freshly toasted of course, which I actually saw them do over the coals. Cheddar and shellfish, who knew? My barbacoa style short rib with sweet potato, tomatillos and quest fresco was a smoky deliciousness. My wife’s chicken was moist with crispy skin. My daughters duck did not stay on the table long enough for me to examine. It was great I’m told. Every morsel of meat had that smoky undertone. Fascinatingly enough the mushrooms stood the smokiest. Will definitely come back, with friends to smell, eat and gaze at the view. Half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays!!

What a beautiful place for a Christmas Dinner with friends! The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The menu has something for everyone! Cocktails were top notch as was the wine selection!
