No wonder there was such a crowd waiting to get in. This place is fantastic. We had a house salad with a great vinaigrette dressing, lipstick on a pig ham sandwich with a fig dressing, both of which were delicious, but the dessert was the star. Carrot cake with a coconut sorbet was perfect and amazing!

Located at Summit Park, offers indoor and outdoor seating. The menu, while not large, has a wide variety of traditional items like burgers and pizzas, alongside offerings such as wild boar and poutine. The menu boasts many gluten free dishes and deserts. The wild boar tenderloin was a definite standout, as was the gluten-free carrot cake. Friendly service, nice environment.

We visited the restaurant for date night after reading about it in Cincinnati Magazine. It hadn’t been on our radar as a place to try before. The atmosphere was calm, even though it was a Saturday night. It made for a relaxing dinner. The service was a bit slower than expected, especially since the restaurant wasn’t full, but our server was friendly. We ordered a few drinks; cocktails and beer were good. We ordered the almond crusted baked brie and clam chowder for appetizers. For entrées, we ordered the Chilean salmon and the salmon Oscar special. And for dessert, we ordered the chocolate banana bread. The food was tasty… but I can’t say that it was anything stellar. (Which, after a magazine spread, was kind of a letdown!) Overall, it’s a good place to try for a casual outing if you’re in the area.
