Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Cincinnati-Blue Ash

We arrived 10 min early and were seated immediately. Waitress was very friendly and attentive We ordered bottle of sweet Red Wine and was offered free tasting of a glass of blueberry wine & cranberry. Blueberry wine was really good. Lobster bisque was delicious and wedge salad We all enjoyed our main courses We can’t wait to go back!

We were seated by the back door and it was cold - several guests, myself included, kept their coat on and the lighting was very dim at our table making the menu hard to read. The food and service were great. It was very pricy but we were stuffed when we left.

Great Valentines Day lunch! Food was freshly prepared and tasted great! Server was kind and did not hurry us. Crème Brûlée was a perfect treat. Will return soon.

We did an early Valentines date night here and had amazing service and food! You know going into a Jeff Ruby experience that the prices will be high so expectations match that. The food was good, similar to the other locations and so nothing stood out to me as unique. My only dislike was the bar area. Not the fact that it was crowded just the overall setup made it incredibly difficult for anyone to hang out and grab a drink while guests were waiting for tables. The hallway being crowded made it difficult for wait staff to get through so I felt bad for them. But everyone from waiter to valet was kind, attentive and conversational. Really appreciate that!!

Jennifer was our server and she was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was patient while we were catching up with friends and we didn’t feel rushed throughout our dining experience. Eddie Merlot is one of our favorite restaurants and a go to when we have out of town guests. Save room for coffee AND dessert. You won’t be disappointed.
