Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Council Oak Cincinnati offers an inviting atmosphere with consistently "exceptional service" and delightful dishes like short rib and salmon. While some dishes exceeded expectations, others, like the oysters, fell short. Despite minor hiccups, diners often praise the staff, notably Katie and Karla, for enhancing the overall dining experience.

    Sat at the bar on New Year's Eve - the atmosphere was energetic but no too loud. The bartender service was outstanding - friendly & efficient. Sat on the corner by the kitchen it was fun to watch the chef's grilling the steaks and the aroma was great! Great wine by the glass list - and the Walla Walla Cab is a real value. Definitely heading back whether gambling or not!

    Food was okay. Steak was overcooked. Meatball appetizer was salty. The best thing was the sweet potato casserole.
