    I took my wife here for her birthday and had an exceptional time. If you have not visited this restaurant, it is a must when you’re in Cincinnati. The inside is like nothing you’ve ever seen in a restaurant. We were lucky enough to have someone playing the piano in the beginning of our meal and by the end, they had a four piece band playing And it really enhanced the dining experience. Our server Shardae was excellent and made sure we were well taken care of. our drinks we exceptional and the food was just as good.

    This double volume restaurant shares a space with the bar with a performance space, the hotel lobby, and a conference area gathering space in the mezzanine. So it’s great for a lively boisterous vibe on a Friday evening, but not so much for a quiet dinner conversation. The food was good, but not something to write home about. The service was very good with our server who was very attentive and helpful in making suggestions, but the staff for runners and clearance was haphazard opting to leave the utensils for the appetizer to be reused for our main entrees. Overall, it was fine for casual dining but our expectation was for a finer dining experience.

    Our waitress didn’t show up for the first 10 minutes. The food was good. However, for the price I expected better service.

    This is the first time I ate there since it became 1931. I loved Orchids, but nothing changed once the name changed. The service & food was amazing. The buffet was as amazing as always! I love it!!

    Our server Mahlet(?) was AMAZING and made my birthday very special! The breakfast buffet was top notch and everything was delish! My favorite was the pancakes - I see you pancake man! ❤️ The entire staff (minus the tall older lady at the hostess stand) was phenomenal! I can't wait to return hopefully we'll receive a friendlier greeting next time. :)
