    Great place to eat. Service, food and atmosphere were all first rate. Fried green tomatoes were a tasty start. A must try is the Braised Short Ribs. A complimentary dessert for our Birthday girl was very nice. A good time was had by all.

    We love the size and decor of this restaurant. To us it is a perfect setting for a wonderful brunch, lunch or light dinner. We are celebrating an event Together and made a reservation. We arrived a few minutes early, but didn’t get seated until a half an hour after our reservation. The restaurant served us a complementary beverage because of our weight, which was very thoughtful. The service was amazing. But the food was just OK. The Benedict was just badly designed and prepared. The The ham was way too thick, tough and overpowered everything else on the dish. The hollandaise was mediocre. The egg was overcooked. It was just not an enjoyable dish. My wife had the avocado toast and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had Guetta as a side and found that to be relatively mediocre. And we know Guetta having grown up in western Cincinnati. The peanut noir was fine and enjoyable. And the fried green tomatoes, while out of season, that was served to us to celebrate our event, complementary, was stupendous. The price for the brunch was very fair, and the only reason the overall rating is low is because of the quality and taste of what, I suppose, is the signature dish, the Otto Benedict. It would’ve been nice, and appropriate for a restaurant like this, to offer espresso.

    I enjoyed a lovely dinner with my son. I just love the decor and ambience. Our food was perfect. The fried green tomatoes are a MUST! The Thai chili salmon was delightful. My son had the Cajun pasta and devoured it. What a gem this restaurant is!

    Great dinner. The steak and asparagus was delicious. It was prepared perfectly. My wife wanted to come for the scallops which is her favorite entree. We had a very nice dinner for our 36th anniversary. Thanks.

    Service was slow at 1pm on a Saturday even though the restaurant was half full. Eggs Benedict were amazing, so was bread pudding and the tomato soup is the BOMB. Maybe they were short staffed-will be back!
