From the moment you enter, the smell of freshly baked focaccia bread fills the air. Their menu is not extensive but each entry lists fresh and delicious ingredients. We tried the tuna and their namesake sandwich. We couldn't pick a favorite between the two. The ingredients were top quality and the flavors blended together beautifully. It's worth the wait- the service was friendly. The prices are more expensive than a chain sandwich shop - but oh so worth it due to the quality. The portions are large.

But no worries, the service was still fast and we waited no longer than 10 mins for our food/drinks We both ordered the breakfast burrito, I didn't order coffee :( but my friend downed her Carmel iced latte and couldn't say a bad thing about it!! The burrito was stuffed, bacon, egg, has brown, etc.... And that sauce was to die for! If I lived here this would be my go too, so many friendly faces and people coming to study!! The patio was big and up off the street but still able to enjoy the people and city!! If you're debating, definitely give this place a chance! You won't regret!!

I had heard that their pop-up dinners sell out very quickly so I was ready the day they were posted and grabbed a few spots for one of their February dates. We arrived and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and then we found a seat at the long community table set for 20; it was so much fun getting to know the people seated next to us! Dinner was delicious! Four courses-the gnocchi with sausage was our favorite dish of the night.

If you follow them on socials, you can score a seat at the pop-ups. The place is an old house with a lot of character. The food for carryout is fantastic and their bread is fantastic. We live in West Chester and have driven down to there a few times just to pick up delicious dinners. We just attended our first dinner there last Tuesday. Oh My Goodness! What a treat. Jordan greeted us with a glass of Prosecco and directed us where to sit a long table that seats 20. We introduced ourselves to our seatmates and then our first dish arrived. Chef does explain the food before we had each dish, however we wished there was more background and history as to how this place came into being. So expect fantastic food without a lot of details. The first dish was a salad made with all local ingredients. It was so fresh and the dressing made with fresh dill was fantastic. The second dish was a ravioli with northern Italian cheese on a bed of butternut squash puree and brown butter. The pasta was SO delicate and the flavors complimented each other so well. The third dish was a 6 hour braised pork shoulder with ricotta gnocchi in a sauce with Calabrian chilis and I don't know what else. We have been to Italy and all the Italian restaurants in Cincinnati and never had anything like this. It was truly phenomenal. Dessert was a apple upside down cake served warm with whipped cream...fantastic. You bring your own wine, and Jordan is on it by never letting your glass get empty, pouring water, and clearing dishes. Service was so great and she is so friendly and accommodating. The cost was a very reasonable $100/pp and SO worth it. There is no menu, so you go in just devouring what Chef has prepared.

The fish is enormous (see photos) the accompanying slaw is very small and oddly Asian tasting which is not what I'd choose with English fish and chips. We split the fish and ordered an extra piece.

Whenever I visit my sister in Cincinnati, she always tries to take us to new restaurants that we…read morehaven't tried before. This time, she took us to Dilly Bistro Bar and Bottle Shop. I don't have too much to say about the drinks as I just had water, but the food was tasty and exactly what we needed on a cold afternoon. To start out, we ordered the famous beer cheese, and crab cakes for the table. The famous beer cheese was similar to a fondue but it was prepared well and had me wishing I had more. Very tasty and perfect for sharing. The crab cakes were equally tasty and tasted fresh with a nice consistency. As a table, we ordered the mariemont salad, the Cuban, the famous burger and a bowl of chili. I don't have too much to say about the burger. It was tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. The salad was unique and was shared by 2 people at our table. The Cuban was filled well and good value. Its always nice to see a restaurant not skimp out and deliver a nice product. In my opinion, the star of the show was the chili. This was a hardy, filling and extremely tasty chili! And of course, it was exactly what I needed on a cold, cloudy day. I ended up ordering a second bowl, it was that good! I would reccomend this place for a casual meetup with friends or family. Plenty of cozy seating inside, fast and friendly service and great food!

It was super busy and nearly every table was full and people were waiting outside. Service was friendly and our drink orders were taken within a few minutes. We ordered 3 appetizers: yuca fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, guacamole and chips. My fave of the 3 was probably the guacamole: chunky and flavorful. I also liked the green sauces that came with the Brussels and yuca fries. The yuca fries were large, like steak fries. They come on a smallish plate and probably best for 2-3 people to share. Same for the Brussels sprouts. The guac and chips were on a large plate and there was a generous amount of guac (larger portion than the other sauces). Plenty of chips to share among our table. There were 2 fish fry orders from our table and no complaints. Little Mister thought it was "great" and he ate the entire thing except for the coleslaw, of which he is not a fan anyway. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I really liked the generous serving of chicken and it was perfectly cooked and tender. The dressing was tasty and the croutons were crunchy. The lettuce was shredded more than chopped which is fine. Overall it was a decent Caesar. I like having a Caesar option at pub. The Brussels sprouts were decent also. Somewhat crispy though not as crispy as hubs would have liked. I usually order crispy Brussels whenever possible when we go out and I'd give these a mid to high 4 of 5 stars. The sauce was delicious. Our plates were cleared a couple of times during our meal even though every server was super busy and we did have plenty of water. Parking is sometimes available on the street directly in front of the pub but there is also parking a short walk as well. There's dessert next door as well as at UDF for a short walk. Fun area with a lot going on and I like that there are outdoor patio seating options as well. I would definitely come back here. Mid 4 stars, happily rounded up to 5.

The Brussels sprouts were excellent, but if course they were. My biggest issue was the value. Everything is ala carte and kinda pricey. I think my solo chicken sandwich was $16. No sides, not even chips. It was good, but ... We drive by here all the time. The value, or lack thereof, makes me question whether we'll stop again.

They give you a can, enough bread (The bread is great), some olives, and a little bit of lemon to cut the fish tang. If you want a nice cafe with some canned fish this is a great place. All positive parts of this review are about the canned fish. My mocha was standard fair. It was ok. Not something to come back for. The place is really loud on a Saturday morning. Not an easy place to talk or hear anything. My kids... this is where the review really is. My kids eat out at places like this a lot. Their opinion on avocado toast is very well informed. The bread they were given was soggy and gross. Not something that was acceptable. There was so much mayo on these that you could have put them on the gill and fried them. Really gross. It was all over the avocado too. They hated it. I hated it. My kids were so unhappy with this toast that they went to the counter to ask for new bread. This place was more than happy to charge for a new slice of bread. Will not come back. There are other, better places.

The stuffed chicken came with mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans. My daughter said it was excellent. My short rib was amazing. The only complaint would be that the ravioli was very undercooked.
