    Best dinning experience by far in a long time! We made the reservation to celebrate our engagement. I had some special requests (A centerpiece I brought the day before, "Coco movie" symbolic glasses, welcoming preparations for my fiancée). They made everything perfect, and each detail was just as I wished. The food was delicious (we had salmon). Two wine glasses and deserts were on them. We ended extremely pleased. It was such a personalized and unique experience. Unforgettable occasion. The staff did amazing. We can't thank everyone enough!

    Relocating here from Florida, we love experiencing new restaurants as this was the first time at 1931. Overall the experience was 9 out of 10, due in parts to ALL the food from soup, salad, appetizer and main course coming out at the same time. Had to return the main course to the heat lamps to maintain the great quality of the food. Waiter was very apologetic and friendly, just not sure if it was his fault. He did extend, which was not expected or requested, free dessert. We will return because we believe in the overall experience. The service needs improved knowledge of menu and food timing to the table. Art 443-695-7829

    It was a lovely experience- after all it’s a beautiful room unparalleled in Cincinnati (since the closing many years ago of the maisonette) IMHO. The brunch buffet was good - certainly not great. The fact that our reservations were at 12:15 and they closed the buffet at 2:00 might have affected our experience with the food. Our server was attentive and friendly.

    I was visiting Cincy, and chose 1931 because of the location and my destination. We chose the Sunday brunch, because pictures eluded to an array of foods. For $40+, what they REALLY offered was NOT worth it. The waitress expressed that what is pictured is only for "special occasions." I was totally disappointed.

    This hotel has been my family’s favorite downtown spot for decades! It’s gorgeous, unique, lively, and just never like anything else in town. With such raves, we’d never had a sit down dinner there. The food was delicious and service terrific. With it being such a tony spot, I was delightfully surprised that the menu items were so reasonably priced! My delicious salmon dinner was about $24. That’s very competitive with any place one could go. Another thing this treasure gets uniquely right is the atmosphere. Maybe it’s the noise-reducing mammoth, art deco booths, or the gorgeous carpet, but it always seems lively without being too loud. You can have a conversation without yelling. And at 1931, you dine and still get to hear the live piano or trio. There’s a reason this place has been popular for nearly a hundred years!!! It’s just the best. You MUST go sometime!!

    We were seated for our 11:00 reservation a few minutes after 11:00. Our first contact with our server was at 11:20. She advised us that the kitchen was changing over from breakfast to lunch and it would be 20 minutes before she could take our order. I can’t speak to the food or drinks because we were unable to wait. Not sure what is happening to this beautiful restaurant, it was real disappointing.
