Great zoo! We were surprised to find that it was so easy to spend the entire day here, from open to close. It was disappointing that so many animals were off display due to construction, the weather, or bird flu concerns. But even despite that, there was so much to see & experience here. The hippo display is unsurprisingly very busy, but we still got to stay a while & see the new baby. Absolutely worth it. The overall atmosphere was really nice too. I love how much bamboo they have growing all over - and they've starting hanging string lights from everything. So many pathways felt like their own little road, distanced from the rest of the park - when in fact they're barely separated. I appreciate how easy it is to buy tickets & parking from your phone. When we arrived there was a long line to purchase tickets, but I was able to buy them on my phone in less than a few minutes & get right in!

One of the best zoo I’ve been so far, I follow this zoo in social media but it was my first time going. We too our infant and spent the whole day from opening to close and didn’t manage to visit all exhibits. Their nursing rooms were clean and cool during a hot day. The nursing room made our trip to this zoo worth it. Went during Father’s Day and they had a special event going on. Overall, amazing zoo and would definitely consider getting their membership.

This is hands down the best zoo I have ever been to! All the animals look so happy and healthy! We purchased tickets online ahead of time and didn't have a wait at all. Parking was 10 dollars, super easy, and you can pay on your phone or have the people assist you on the way out with a card. We can't wait until our next trip here! If you plan to come to Cincinnati I highly recommend trying to plan a day for the zoo!

We decided to take a family trip to visit Fiona that my wife and daughter have been following on social media. This zoo was so clean and well taken care of. The staff was polite and courteous and the animals looked so happy in their well maintained enclosures. Well worth the trip!

I've been to a lot of zoos around the world and I can safely say that this is one of the best I've been to. The diversity of animals and the overall layout of the zoo is excellent. You could easily spend an entire day here, especially if you check out some of their shows. They also have animals here that I've never seen at other zoos before, such as the African wild dogs which were fun to watch. I would recommend getting here as soon as they open, as the parking lot gets busy and fills up quickly.

This is a pretty great zoo. It seemed to have all of the important animals although we never found the bears and really only found one entertaining monkey display. There is shade everywhere. There are lots of pretty good food options. Beware - it's a fairly hilly zoo. If you cover the whole thing you'll certainly get your exercise for the day. There is at least one fantastic playground that all of the younger kids really enjoy. I really liked the kangaroo area. It felt like being in their habitat with them.

Visiting from Chicago and have to say I love this zoo! It’s small, but mighty. And makes you feel like you’re on an adventure to find the other animals. Highly recommend the train. As you get to see and overview of a bunch of the exhibits. Then you can’t forget about Fiona the hippo.

Always love going to the zoo. Everything was clean. The animals were out. Seems like they have done a lot of upgrades, and all the animals have more enrichment items. The line was short on the day we went, so my 3 girls got to feed the giraffes. $4 for 2 pieces of lettuce.

One of the best zoos, our family loves coming here with our 2 year old daughter. - Large breadth of diverse animals. - Good view points at every animal section. - Friendly and knowledgeable staff, always a pleasure chatting with them. - Beautiful botanical gardens, flowers, and plants throughout. - Excellent carousel with 60 different animals. - Fun train ride for kids. - Play area with a slide for small kids. - Petting zoo with Goats for kids. - World of the Insect is super cool. - Our family has the Platinum membership and it’s worth it for the 9-10am member only early access (it can get crowded). Early access pretty much guarantees front parking too. Check on the website the months early access is available (March to Oct I think). - Great map design. We’ve visited during all seasons. Keep it up Zoo team!

Well maintained, lots of different animals to see, well laid out park, restaurants in the park to get something to eat and I plan on returning. Love it. Parking is a mess. Do not take the last turn google suggests. You'll end up on a dead end street. Google takes you to the exit end of a Parking lot to the zoo. There isn't an entrance there. You will be within eye sight of the park/ zoo. There are Parking lots located in the area you can park in. Expect to pay 10 dollars for Parking.

Really this zoo has come along way. All the upgrades new exhibits and overall attention to detail for the animals. I appreciate the botanical landscaping, the worldly facades on the exhibits and educational opportunities. Staff was great and friendly. I recommend being a member, food and item prices are outrageous (ex 35 bucks for a pizza) but you get a discount if your a member. Parking is reasonably priced I suppose. I was disappointed in several attractions being closed however. Advertising what's coming in spring made me excited, but i still wanted to see those specific animals. I think if attractions are closed, my tickets should be discounted. I'd love to see the zoo expand, more big cats and exotic animals, Pandas ect. Larger exhibits and mire interactions with the animals. Overall however it was a beautiful day and great fun with the family. Can't really complain.

This place is AMAZING!! Literally so many animals will have to come back to see them all! The cool way they all put the animals of prey in a neat walk through exhibit, to the awesome train ride that takes you through the whole park, and the beautiful flamingo family with a new baby bird! Just really awesome- my favorite was personally the feeding of the apes! There is a cool little cave area that lets you feel like you’re WITH these huge animals! Highly recommend this zoo to any family! Don’t forget your dip n dots & fun stuffed zoo animal souvenir!

Our family had the opportunity to explore the Cincinnati Zoo recently, and let me tell you, it was an experience we won’t forget! Unlike any other zoo we’ve visited, Cincinnati Zoo stands out for its sheer beauty. The landscaping is a visual feast, with lush greenery and artistic design elements around every corner. The architecture of the exhibits is an experience in itself; it blends so well with the natural scenery that you often forget you’re in a zoo. It felt more like a wildlife haven, designed with the animals and visitors in mind. As parents, the highlight was seeing the joy on our two boys’ faces. The one-of-a-kind experiences with kangaroos and penguins were jaw-droppingly excellent. Not every day do you get to be so close and personal with these amazing animals! Staff members were equally remarkable, offering insightful information while caring deeply for the well-being of the residents of this unique sanctuary. Bottom line: If you’re anywhere near Cincinnati, don’t sleep on the chance to visit this exceptional zoo. It’s a feast for the eyes, educational for the mind, and joyous for the heart—truly a place that offers something special for everyone.

We loved our first visit! Beautifully kept grounds and property. The animals are the stars! They showed off! Super friendly and informative staff members throughout the park and exhibits. Water refill stations and mist showers throughout the park. Nice options at the gift shop. Good food selections available. Accessible in all areas. They allow snacks and coolers. Be ready to walk! It's all worth it. July 2023

This may be one of my favorite baseball stadiums. There are many many different areas for groups or families or people in general. There is a huge variety of food and drinks. Great selection of beers and adult drinks. A very nice kids area. Overall there’s something for everyone. Well except maybe this year’s actual Reds baseball team. They can be hard to watch. But the stadium is great.

We had a great time at the park! Plenty of parking! The park itself was clean spacious and had a lot of fun elements to it. We got the club tickets so it was great view and experience! And we watched a real fun game padres vs reds June 30th!! The store is really expensive and once you got it the store you can’t really go back in … we found out that the hard way! But all in all a great experience!

As a Cubs fan I have visited several times. Beautiful stadium on the picturesque Ohio River. Stadium workers are super friendly and helpful. Food options are plentiful and very good quality. Pay the extra to park in the garages, reasonable prices with easy in and out. Good job Cincinnati.

This stadium is a love letter to baseball and baseball in Cincinnati. Lots of opportunities for fans to interact, especially families with young children. They even have a playground on the grounds. The $25 all you can eat pass is a pretty good deal if you don’t mind that the hot dogs are not Kahn’s. There is a candy shop. Bars. Many things to list. Don’t let the futility of the team dissuade you from coming here. It’s a really great place to soak in the atmosphere of baseball.

Jim in the right fields stands (Budweiser standing deck) was very helpful with providing info about the area and the park itself. Super friendly and nice. It was our first time at this ball park and we enjoyed having nearby restaurants and bars within walking distance to the field. There are yummy and fun food options inside the park and several places with walk up bars. Several merchandise stores on various levels of the park. It was one of those near 100 degree days and there were plenty of shady spots and fan/misting stations throughout. It's a really nice park and well constructed.

Cleveland fan here! Absolutely loved this stadium. I have now seen 2 games here and both were amazingly fun. Cheap beer before the game, great food deals, and amazing views from anywhere. Both games I went to, the Reds were not having a good year (below .500), yet the stadium was still full of energy and fans still cheering. Some of the best ballpark food I’ve had from the handful of stadiums I’ve visited (Wrigley, PNC, Arizona, Progressive). The stadium location is awesome. Just off the Ohio River, with views of city skyline and that nice breeze from the river. Just a great location. There are soooo many seats at this ballpark too. And the employees were are friendly, helpful, and seemed to love their job! I will definitely be revisiting when I’m in the area. A++++

We came here for a concert and absolutely love this stadium! The food court, concession areas, etc are all really smartly laid out. They have a full bar. I don’t know if this is normal in baseball stadiums, but I thought it was cool! You can get ice cream sundaes in baseball helmets and macOS in a bigger helmet. There are plenty of bathrooms. The seats are typical stadium seats but comfortable. We sat under the covered portion in the lower level -section 134- and the view is great! Whether you’re going to a baseball game or a concert or special event, this is a great location.

It took me awhile to get parked. There's 3 different listings on GPS for the parking garage it was by luck and accident that I found where I was supposed to be. Everything else was a relatively pleasant experience. It's easy to navigate. The staff leaves alot to be desired. You have to practically beg for any kind of assistance. The vendors in the stadium are non existent so you have to continually get up and go to the food court. Other than that it's a nice place to bring the family for a game.

Love this stadium! I'm a Reds/Royals fan, & we've been driving up for the last several years! The atmosphere is amazing! The Hall of Fame is a must! Here's a few of my pics! ...Put #14 in Cooperstown! #HeStillBangs

Very fun ballpark. We bought last minute, day-of seats for $40 each. Still an approachable price in a sport where seat prices seem to be skyrocketing at some ballparks. Got a drink outside of the ballpark beforehand which was a fun environment (see video). The food and drink vendors inside the park were all open and had very friendly staff working and seemed to be fully operational.

Wonderful place to watch a ball game. The people that work their are so nice. The ballpark is beautiful and very clean. We went to games on Friday night and Saturday. I believe they do fireworks every Friday night. This was a real impressive show. I recommend staying and watching. Outside the stadium is a great place to hang out after the game.

This may be one of my favorite baseball stadiums. There are so many different areas for groups or families or people in general. There is a huge variety of food and drinks, from high-end food to $25 all-you-can-eat popcorn, peanuts, and up to five hotdogs. Great selection of beers and adult drinks. A very nice kids area. Overall there’s something for everyone. But the stadium is great. Get there early and enjoy this beautiful stadium or take a tour on off days.

Such a beautiful museum inside & out! Absolutely loved our time here with the family! So much to see, learn, and experience. We really enjoyed all the exhibits and seeing all the uniqueness that this museum has to offer! We went on a busy weekend day, but it was still a wonderful experience and it didn’t feel crowded due to the sheer size of the place. We really enjoyed our time, and would recommend anyone in the area makes the time to go and experience it themselves!

We had a great time visiting! The building itself is a must see! We spent literally all day on our visit here. The museums are wonderful and had great exhibits. We really enjoyed the traveling Pixar exhibit. It was definitely worth the ticket to experience if you want to know how Pixar creates it's films.

We went here for the wedding reception of my wife’s cousin. What a place for it! We had a great time and especially enjoyed the museum being open during cocktail time. The kids got to run around and play on the mechanical exhibits and one of my daughters and I got lost in the Ice Age. There were some amazing and well-put-together visuals for adults and kids. As for the wedding reception itself, the place was beautiful, spacious, and very clean and modern. It was a wonderful place to celebrate a wedding.

Such an amazing museum, cannot recommend it enough. The new Lego exhibit is totally worth it for any Lego lover and the children's museum is fantastic. Would love to come back over and over again!

We have passes here and have been around a dozen times. Our kids have a blast in the kids area. Yhe children’s museum does seem meant for younger kids, maybe 10 and younger. Be aware that it can get PACKED. It’s busier more often than not, even on Mondays and Thursdays. The cave exhibit is really cool and fun for all ages as well as the space exhibit. We had a frustrating instance where an employee was following everyone around saying “don’t touch that, don’t walk there, you can’t be there.” When there are no “do not touch signs.” And the areas that can’t be touched are right next to areas that can, it’s very confusing. I emailed the museum and they just said they’d let somebody know. Be aware that it’s a long walk uphill from the parking lot. They do have strollers and electric scooters you can rent inside. There’s also a food court. Omnimax, holocaust exhibit, and temporary exhibits like the Lego exhibit are extra.

I didn’t even realize until after we had come and left, what this place is. I didn’t know it wasn’t a working train station anymore, but a huge museum complex. We didn’t have much time so we just parked to check out the architecture and interior. Just that ALONE was worth it. It is so stunning. We will definitely come back for the museums, but definitely stop by for the beauty of it!

Really wonderful building. I loved the architecture! I went to the holocaust and Humanities museum! It's was so beautifully done commemorating this tragedy and Cincinnati's part in helping to save the families from it.

Came here with my 22 mo old and my 3.5 year old. Was nervous that they would find any of it interesting and was pleasantly surprised. They LOVED it. The Children’s Museum is excellent. The Art Deco architecture is world class. It’s a really fun place and I’m glad we spent our afternoon here. We had a little over 2 hours and had to run through the last bit. I wish we’d of had more time because our boys were obsessed.

Wow! Traveling through and entrance Free due to reciprocity benefits from hometown Science Museum Membership. Paid exhibits not included. 3-in-1 Museum! Unique features. Including Ice Age and Space. Actual fossil preparation see thru lab. Children’s Museum had great variety. We liked the magnifying glass for fossils. Great experience! Closed on some weekday, check first.

Cincinnati is so lucky to have this historical building in the city. Full of history, it has been well maintained over the years. The fountain out front also adds to its overall presentation from the moment you walk towards the entry. The exhibits and educational films that come and go, keep one coming back again and again.

My 11 year old son and I loved it!! Admission pays for two parts of the museum but the theater and brickology were an extra charge. There was ample parking that was charged when admission is paid. I highly recommend going.

We visited on the weekend in which the museum was sponsoring the "Galloping Through dynasties" special event, the admission was extremely reasonable for such a well executed event. My understanding is that there is usually no admission charge. We arrived around 1 on a Saturday and only saw about half of the exhibits. The floral arrangements were beautiful and well done. The museum has a great variety of art, that cover a wide spectrum of time in US as well as world history. I highly recommend spending more than four hours to see all of the exhibits.

We were in Cincinnati for a short weekend trip and decided to checkout the Cincinnati Art Museum. The drive to the museum from downtown was a great start to the day. There was a great view of the city and the neighborhood streets and homes added to the experience. The Museum grounds were also amazing and got us excited for what to expect inside. The admission to the main portion of the museum is free. You only need to pay for the special exhibit if you decide to. We had a great time viewing all of the collections and it only took a couple hours at a leisure pace. There were many items with ties to the local area or artists that made the collects more interesting. I would definitely recommend the Cincinnati Art Museum when visiting Cincinnati.

This is the coolest art museum I’ve been to in a while. The best part about it, it’s completely free! They have so many different pieces and time periods to browse through. This is place where you’ll come back multiple times to get through the entire museum. It’s highly recommended if you’re in Cincinnati!

The museum is a treasure in the heart of Eden Park! It's worth a visit for Cincinnati natives and tourists. The museum has free general admission and welcomes donations. We saw the Picasso Landscape Exhibition, and it had timed admissions tickets for $12 Seniors. There were still tickets being bought day of visit and no one was hurried to rush through in a certain time. We spent close to 2 hours viewing artwork from different phases of Picasso's life. The display is very open and well curated. Electronic monitors reminded visitors that this is priceless artwork, so keep your feet three feet from artwork, and don't touch!

I went to see a special exhibit. The entrance to the whole museum was free. There was a reasonable fee for the retrospective exhibit of Driscoll, an African American artist. His work was amazing. The museum was not crowded (though the main parking lot was full - I’m not sure if the was a secondary lot - but a car pulled out just as we needed it. They have parking for electric cars! So recharge as you need to! Lovely place….can’t wait to go back and explore the permanent collection. Here are my favorites:

We visited on the weekend in which the museum was sponsoring the "Art in Bloom" special event, the admission was extremely reasonable for such a well executed event. My understanding is that there is usually no admission charge. We arrived around 1 on a Saturday and only saw about half of the exhibits. The floral arrangements were beautiful and well done. The museum has a great variety of art, that cover a wide spectrum of time in US as well as world history. I highly recommend spending more than four hours to see all of the exhibits.

We really love this museum — it’s a beautiful, accessible place to walk around and see wonderful art. Every time I go I see something there in a new way. Our family particularly appreciates the Sensory Saturdays each month, too. (Always-free admission and free parking is also a big plus.)

Incredible. A post and pictures doesn’t do this place justice. You have to go in person. There is SO much to learn from visiting this monumental place. I wish I had more time to go back. I would try to go from open to close to soak it all in and go back the next day to make sure you get everything from all the floors, exhibits and videos. You will learn things you didn’t learn about in school. Come educate yourself and soak in an amazing experience. They also have a great gift shop to check out as well!

A must-see!! We will be back as some exhibits were closed for maintenance. There is a lot of powerful information and education in this museum, both past and present. It shows how far we have come, but also how far we still have to go. Very well put together and designed. Some exhibits are interactive. Videos. Lovely gift shop. Education center. Clean and clean restrooms. Price is good for priceless education. Make sure you go when you are really able to spend the time. There is a lot to view, read, and watch. This isn't a place to go in and rush through. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

There are many phenomenal exhibits in the museum. The best thing about this place is Mr. Carl Westmoreland. I wasn't aware of whom he was but I must recommend that if you ever have the opportunity to speak with him he's going to share amazing history with you.

BEAUTIFUL well thought out museum both inside & out! Lots to see with plenty of history of slavery, real life stories, pictures, murals, artifacts, underground railroad info, educational videos to watch, and a beautiful gift shop as well that has kids and adult books, jewelry, and other items too!!! This is a must visit while in Cincinnati. It's really eye-opening!!! $15 admission. Well worth it !!! 👍🤓✌️

This place is very informative. It is a wealth of knowledge and information. Wear your walking shoes and be prepared to learn our history. I am amazed and excited. All of the exhibits blessed me. It doesn’t matter what kind of learner you are; there’s something for everyone.

An incredible museum that deserves several hours of your time. The exhibits on the top floor are detailed, almost overwhelmingly so, but the tour guides help focus on highlights. The second floor, with the authentic holding pen for enslaved people, adds another level of emotional impact. The additional exhibits on modern slavery is devastating too. The interactive exhibits are all worth exploring. We didn't have time for the films, but the museum is something every American should experience.

I and my daughter, spent our entire afternoon soaking up History. We were told most people get through this in about 2 1/2 hours. We were there 4 hours and still couldn't read everything there was. It's a very emotional place to go through and I recommend anyone visiting the Cincinnati Ohio area to take the time to go. There is a parking structure right beside this building, so it made it very easy to ride the elevator up and pop right out at the front entrance. You can park all day in the garage for $12.00, which gives you plenty of time at the museum and surrounding area. I only took a few pictures due to the mass of this museum. Staff will direct you to the best way to see the museum. Entrance cost isn't bad and you can go to their website to buy tickets and get a timed entry. Masks are required while in the museum. Side note: Bathrooms are on two different floors and are clean.

My class and I really enjoyed our field trip here. I would say this place is better for older children. The place was very big and clean and our tour guide was very helpful. I would definitely recommend coming here to further your knowledge on African American history.

If you happen to be in or passing through Cincinnati, Ohio this summer, make sure to visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Their 'Truth and Healing' exhibit features talented and thought-provoking artists, and I was particularly drawn to a dark candle-lit tent. Inside, you can sit in silence, select a random prompt from a bowl in the center, and experience moments of both heartbreak and healing. It's a truly transformative and moving experience worth exploring.

A Powerful Journey Through History The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a profound testament to the spirit of freedom and resilience. Its exhibits are both informative and evocative, offering visitors a deep dive into the history of the Underground Railroad and the broader struggle for human rights. Overall, a visit to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is not just an educational experience, but an emotional journey that touches the heart and stimulates the mind. It is a vital destination for anyone seeking to understand American history and the ongoing struggle for human rights.

As always, the food was great. Service was excellent. Ron has been our server many times and again today. Always start with the pulled pork nachos. So good. We tried the Carmel apple shortcake. It was just okay. Looked better than it tasted.

Excellent dinner with a view! This place is special. We loved everything we tried. You won't go wrong with anything barbecue here. The burgers were also stellar. Service was quite friendly and helpful as well. Can't wait to come back!

They have a great heated outdoor patio that faces the river. Nice views and good food. We ordered the Cantonese shrimp and brisket dinners. Delicious! Desserts were great, too. Homemade key lime pie and ice cream filled eclair with hot fudge sauce. It was a pleasant surprise of $5 valet parking.

The beef rib special was fantastic and the food in general was very good. Our server was excellent, and they did a great job with our party of 9. I will definitely visit again and would recommend checking this place out.

I enjoyed my dining experience here, partly because the people at nearby tables were super friendly, and gave me some great recommendations for the most “ Cincinnati” things to do. The food was very good and the bourbon cocktail with orange was delightful, especially if you substitute new riff bourbon for Makers Mark. Caroline was a server who went above and beyond, giving recommendations for places to visit while I am here. She gave great food recommendations as well, and her service was extremely fast and extremely friendly. The bartender was friendly and efficient and serving me a drink as I waited for my table. All in all, it was a great experience!

Incredible service, top shelf cocktails, great food and an amazing view of the Ohio River. Perfect place for date night or special family occasion! The barbecue ribs are the best meal on the menu. Pork chops were a little too tough for my liking but could very well just be my own preference.

Attractively designed exterior with a classy dining room sitting on the river. Fantastic view of the water and semakes for a romantic experience. Their BBQ sauce is delicious. They have a good number of options (that are well-sized portions) to choose from. You'll definitely want to have some RIBS with your meal. Also, they make their Peanut Butter Pie in house. It's worth the food-induced coma you might experience as a result of over-indulgence. Great service, great atmosphere and very good food. A must -try if you're in or near Cincinnati, OH.

We went for my mother in law's 80th birthday with a big group. Our table was perfect towards the back with a fantastic view. Everyone said their food was delicious. My salmon was excellent. Rib eaters loved their ribs. Those that got filets also said it was very tasty. Our server was top notch and handled the big group with ease.

This is one fun place to have a great dinner with friends and family. The site overlooks the Ohio River, and while eating, you can see barge traffic and tourist steamboats. The restaurant has valet parking and is relatively easy to get to. The service is great, you should get a reservation, and food arrives quickly. The most impressive point is the food as it should be. Get the Ribs! The sauce is world famous, so anything with it on your food is great. There are so many options, and everything's seems to be well executed. All in all, this restaurant is a must if you visit Cincinnati.

We visited that place with my friend and we had a great time! We basically came to drink a beer but wanted to try some of the appetizers too! And whatever we ordered was very tasty and delicious. If you come during the weekdays between 3-6pm you can order during happy hour! We ordered mango beer which was great! Our waitress was so kind and she helped us, and suggested different combinations of food and dips so my chicken wings was very spicy-friendly for me as an European girl who is not that used to that spicy-hot food! Thank you so much 👌🏻 Place is located just close by the Ohio river so the view during the day and at night is just fantastic! 🌃

Moerlein has so many positives that it is a can't miss establishment. Location and views of Smale Park and the river are fantastic. Interior decor is great; second level with the best views was closed for some unknown reason. Parking is so very convenient and cheap when the Reds are not playing. They keep changing the menu, so some of my favorites are no longer offered. No more choices with respect to meat and cheese boards; you take what they have. Anyway, good experience this last trip and wait staff was excellent as usual.

I dined at MLH yesterday before the Journey concert, and it was about as great as ever. My three-cheese garlic burger (see pic) was killer - perfectly juicy on a nice, chewy bun. My wife had her usual, the short rib grilled cheese. She did think it had a bit less meat on it than in the past. Our apple bread pudding (see pic) was really good too. Finally, the beer was cold and our server was super nice. What more could you want from this riverfront, beer-inspired dining institution?

Went there for brunch. Place well kept. I had biscuits and gravy with eggs. It was average. The biscuits were huge and the gravy was sparse. They should only use one biscuit, cut it in half then double the gravy. Wife had omlet which was good. Service was good.

The view is nice and the food is high quality. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their food. It was nice to see that they offered an alternative to plastic straws that didn’t wilt easily from water exposure. They obviously put a lot of care into every dish and recipe they make.

We stopped into Moerlein for lunch on a pit stop to Cleveland... what started out as a potential “never coming back” first and last time visit.... was definitely turned all the way around. Our Server, Anthony was great at correcting the issue at hand and the manager was just as good making sure we were taken care of! We loved the service and the food, even more that we plan to stop back on the way home!

We came here as a group of 10 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is upscale casual, kind of a mix of a local bar and nice restaurant in one. Our service was exceptional and the food was really great. We had Spicy corn chowder, a caesar salad that comes with a spicy drizzle of sriracha on top. The fish and chips was really good, crispy, and well cooked. We will happily come back again and again as well as refer others to try it. Parking is right downstairs, very convenient and the restaurant is right across the street from both the stadium and the ball park.

Was recommended by a friend and I would 100% recommended it to. Amazing service great food. They forgot to bring out my appetizer, Erin our server and the manager went above and beyond to correct it. When I'm back in the Cincinnati area I will definitely be back!

I was looking for a fun place for lunch and visited the Moerlein Lager House. I ordered the cauliflower wings, squash wellington, onion rings and lava cake for desert. Food was delicious with lots of options for plant based eaters. Friendly and professional service. Outside seats near the Ohio river and baseball stadium. I highly recommend.

Upscale casual restaurant offering several house brewed beers. We started with a flight of beers to find our favorite, and we liked the Maibock best. For food, I had the short rib grilled cheese with angry mac and cheese. My husband had the reuben with fries. We both thought the food was delicious and agreed they had one of the best reubens we've had. We sat on the outside covered patio, which had great views overlooking Smale Park. They also have a large indoor dining area with 2 floors. There is a parking garage underneath the restaurant that is both inexpensive and convenient (as long as there isn't a game or special event).

We had an excellent experience at Orchids. No reservations required for dinner- you seat yourself in the lounge. As you can tell from the photos, it’s a gorgeous room! In spite of the fancy decor, the vibe was very relaxed and I felt comfortable there. Our waitress was friendly and it was easy to get refills. Drinks were overpriced- $18 for an old fashioned- so I am rating from an eating perspective. Most importantly- the food! We started with the charcuterie board, which I was a fan of. Small amounts of things, but all of them tasted great. My husband and I split two orders of gnocchi and the scallops. The gnocchi was the best I have ever had and he was immediately envious- hence the second order. The scallops and the mushrooms around them were incredible as well, just on the smaller side for an adult male. We are so happy to have found another favorite place to eat on special occasions!

Gorgeous decor, but I was blown away by our servers kindness. Wow just attentive and sweet. Thank you. The food was yummy and so were the mimosas.

Elegant and sophisticated. A welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Dine in art deco splendor.

Great 1920's style bar with good drinks, keep in mind their website is wrong about happy hour, it ends at 6pm not 7pm and they won't honor pricing when we arrived at 6:05pm.

A nice place of faded elegance and continuously diminishing glory. We came for coffee and desert, and the place was more than half empty. There were two servers and a barman, and the only one really working was the barman. If I were the manager, I'd fire the other two as they were about as helpful as rust on an old Buick. The cheesecake portion was thinner than my index finger and shorter, though served on a plate the size of Texas. The chocolate cake consisted of two cupcake shaped ROCKS, and were about as edible and tasty as 8-balls. The coffee was ok. I've had better service and dessert at an I-80 truck stop. Now, for all that, breakfast the next morning was quite decent, though for two basic American breakfasts they were very pricey. The service in the morning, however, was excellent, though it did take 25 minutes for the food in again, a less than half full restaurant. Even so, the atmosphere was quite relaxing and pleasant with some light jazz music playing in the background. I know Bing Crosby used to go there a lot, and Winston Churchill even visited. You can almost feel the ghosts of the past there.

Beautiful dining area! Staff is absolutely top notch!!

A phenomenal art deco bar located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati! Every turn is absolutely breathtaking! I didn't know Cincinnati had such a place and I most definitely recommend checking it out. It hold lots of architecture, marble work, artwork, metal work, and all things art deco. Awesome employees throughout the hotel and restaurant. Would most definitely recommend!

Nada has some good food, but it seems like some of the recipes have changed in the last few years. The queso size has shrunk, and it seems to be thicker and less tasty than I remember. That said, the tacos are great-the pork belly was especially delicious. My favorite item is the crispy potatoes.

Place in a downtown with a cool vibe to it! Food was really good. There are good vegetarian options available. Service was good, staff was indifferent. We loved Cauliflower Tacos. Jalapeno cornbread was awesome too. Will definitely come back here when in this city.

pretty solid food and probably the best in the area. the drinks are very delicious and the food was also pretty great. the guacamole was hearty and i enjoyed my chickory salad with shrimp. the service was very slow but our waitress was very helpful with menu recommendations

The food was good as always. However you must try the Brussels sprouts, chicken enchiladas because of the gravy and mushroom Tacos which were surprisingly good. The person not thing that I did not find great was the sangria, probably because I was expecting slices of fruits. Other than that everything was top notch.

A bunch were visiting the area for the weekend and we randomly found this place. Wonderful ambience and great customer service. The food that I had was just out of this world. The best tacos that I have ever had in my life. The chicken carbon and pork belly tacos were just absolutely amazing!!! For anyone coming to this place, Definitely gotta try those tacos.

Decided to stop by on a layover and I must say the food was delish and the customer service was amazing. My total was about $48 I ordered the trio chips and salsa, pastor tacos, street corn, and 1 margarita. Stop by Nada if you are in the area and sit at the bar that’s where I had a great experience.

Nada is a great mexican restaurant in Cincinnati. It's spacious, bright and colourful and located in a cool neighbourhood. The food is full of flavours, fresh and tasty. We had guacamole as an appetizer and chose our beer - Rhinegeist, a "Cincy Made" IPA with a fruity or citric after taste. It was perfect with our meal! Then we shared tacos - pork al pastor, crispy shrimp and chicken al carbon. My favourite was the shrimp one, very juicy and tasty, with a crispy shrimp. The tacos were sided with rice and black beans (included!). Can be a bit pricey, but still OK for the area. The service was great! A bit energetic, but still good to have this staff around. Thank you, Nada! It was a great experience.

3.5 stars. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and dining outside, but the service was extremely slow and not the friendliest. Definitely pack your patience. The guacamole was fantastic, some of the best I've eaten. I do wish you could mix and match the tacos, however, rather than having to get 3 of one kind.

Great food, good atmosphere, and attentive staffs. It is located in the downtown area. Came for dinner on a Tuesday night. Easy to find parking. The restaurant wasn't super busy. Got seated immediately for two people. To start webhad he guacamole and chips is pretty good. The crispy pork belly taco is a must try.

I ordered the queso, guacamole and a margarita and they were all divine! The atmosphere here was very nice. There's a beautiful staircase that leads upstairs where more seating is available and where the restroom is located. The host was friendly and dressed nicely and the server was warm and amazing. I'd absolutely return here!

Enhaled the tacos and exhaled the mojito!!Solid place to grab tacos, elotes and pineapple mojito's🍍! Upstair seating available. Small private table with cool chandelier. Staff was friendly and kitchen was efficient. Booked reservations through open table. Easy bites!

The service was good and the venue was clean, but the food is severely overpriced given the mediocre quality. This is one of the better options in Cincinnati for a prime steak, but I feel it’s worth saving your money and spending less on a better meal at one of the top steakhouses in another city. Liked the atmosphere though. Definitely make reservations well in advance if you do want to try this restaurant.

We went to the precinct this Sunday with 17 people for my birthday& anniversary! Everything was perfect and a great way to spend our day with the people we love! It was a first time for most of the people who dined with us & they all loved it! Thank you to our server anthony who has served me on multiple occasions, we will always come back and request him for his great service!

The experience was unbelievable. From the beginning to the end, hands-down the best restaurant experience of my life. Food was mouth-watering, staff was super friendly and helpful, atmosphere was breathtaking. It's said," you get what you pay for".... and that's what we received; the best food, the best service, and the best eating experience of my 42yr life. Hats off to you Jeff Ruby and your team keep doing what you do.😊❤😊

The Precinct was everything we wanted it to be. The environment is cozy and comfortable. The service was exceptional. They helped make my birthday celebration extra special! And of course the food was phenomenal. We recommend the east coast oysters, Collinsworth, and mac n cheese! They also have an excellent wine selection!

From 1896 Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6 housed this location. Fast forward to 1981 when Mr. Jeff Ruby opened this steakhouse on the Lewis & Clark trail, right next to the river. One of 3 different “themed” restaurants in Cincinnati with Ruby’s name on it. From the moment you drive up, you’re greeted with a smile, no waiting, no wondering, no flagging down your server or valet. Rated in the “Top 10” best steakhouse’s in the USA. And it surely doesn’t disappoint. Due to the pandemic, inflation and as we all know; many other factors, the prices have gone up. But, you get what you pay for. And when you pay $80 for a steak, it better be worth every single penny. I can assure you it was one of the best meals I’ve had to date. Sure, the mashed potatoes were a little too salty, salad may have been a bit overly dressed for my liking; but let’s face it I’m not there for those. I am there for the steak! A filet so tender, you could cut it with a fork. Cooked to perfection, with king crab, asparagus béarnaise and bordelaise sauce. The crispy fried brussels sprouts with apple, Bacon Lardon and a cider glaze. All has me salivating just thinking about it. If you’ve made it this far down my review some things to note: you have to make reservations, in advance. I would imagine maybe they take walk-ins, but you’ll probably be waiting. We went on a Wednesday night and it was a packed house. Oh and let’s not forget about the dessert. All house made. Impeccable. *chefs kiss

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Precinct, and once again, this exceptional steakhouse in Cincinnati has proven why it reigns as the best in town. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with an inviting atmosphere that exuded class and sophistication. One aspect that immediately caught my attention was their impressive wine selection. The Precinct boasts an extensive array of wines, perfectly curated to complement their exquisite menu. Whether you're a connoisseur or simply enjoy a good glass of wine, you'll find a perfect pairing to enhance your dining experience. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the steak and lobster. The combination of these two culinary delights was nothing short of perfection. The steak was cooked to absolute precision, with a juicy and tender texture that melted in my mouth. Accompanied by a succulent lobster, it was a match made in heaven for any surf and turf enthusiast. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence at The Precinct extends to their children's meals as well. Often, kids' menus can be an afterthought at upscale restaurants, but not here. The options provided for younger diners were not only delicious but also thoughtfully crafted with their tastes in mind. It was heartening to see the care and consideration put into ensuring that even the youngest guests had a memorable dining experience. Aside from the exceptional food, I must commend the impeccable service at The Precinct. The staff was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive throughout the evening. From the moment we were seated until the final bite, our needs were anticipated and promptly addressed. The team's knowledge and enthusiasm were evident, further enhancing the overall experience. In conclusion, The Precinct is a culinary gem that continues to set the standard for excellence in the steakhouse scene of Cincinnati. With its outstanding wine selection, flawlessly executed Steak and Lobster, delectable children's meals, and impeccable service, this establishment offers a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a remarkable meal, The Precinct is the place to be.
