We both thoroughly enjoyed our seasonal drinks of orange spice and pumpkin spice. If you're less on the sweet train, I suggest the orange spice.

Overall, a fabulous experience with their friendly team and the bustling Findlay Market atmosphere.

The café and barroom is big and spacious with plenty of places to sit; at the bar, at a table OR at a counter that runs all along the glass wall giving you an up close view of the cat interaction section. I would have loved to spend some time in there but my husband didn't want to pay the fee this time. It's okay as I know we'll be back one day. We snacked on a blueberry scone and a savory soft pretzel. My husband was happy to indulge in his favorite beer on tap (Truth) and I had a Smelly Cat Frappe. They have all kinds of adorable merchandise for sale. Many special events here too. The staff were very welcoming, cheerful, and happy to chat. Plan a visit soon!

Cafe Mochiko serves some of the best ramen in Cincinnati, and it's traditional and authentic. By…read moreday it's a Japanese-style bakery, and by night it turns into a casual ramen spot run by a married couple who clearly care about the craft. The service is great, and the staff is happy to explain the menu. A few things to know before you go. They don't take reservations. It's a waiting list, and you have to be there in person to put your name down, so plan for a wait at busy times. Prices are a bit steep for a bowl of ramen. Customizing your bowl isn't allowed, and there's no takeout. Dishes also sometimes sell out for the night, so go earlier if there's something you really want to try. Worth it for the quality, but set your expectations on price, wait times, and flexibility.

This cute Bakery and cafe is in "The Gallery" section of Newport on the Levee. They offered a…read moredelectable assortment of cupcakes, cookies, SCONES, coffees and teas. The blueberry lemon scones that we bought were absolutely amazing. They were tender and buttery with a little bit of crumble and a really sweet icing. The first bite practically melted in my mouth. Immediately after taking it I wanted to buy another scone even though I had only taken one bite. They were utterly delicious! So, if the taste of the scones is any indication of the scrumptiousness of the other baked good, then this bakery is worth your visit. Plus, the staff was very personable. The guy who served us gladly warmed our scones and offered information about the various beverages. It was an overall positive experience.

The location was right where we had parked our car in the "Gallery" area and looked super cute on the outside so my husband and I tried it out. There were no other customers at the time but the staff were really kind and helpful. And extra bonus was just outside in the fake grass area, my kids immediately walked over and watched Bluey on the big screen so I can easily order our drinks without interruption. I ordered an iced mocha and my husband ordered an iced latte - we were both pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was. Seeming it was the only decent coffee option in the Levee area, we are so ever grateful!

The atmosphere feels elegant and inviting, creating a true upscale dining experience from the moment you arrive. The espresso martini was exceptional. The subtle hint of orange added just the right amount of brightness and brought the entire cocktail together beautifully. We were excited by the menu and ended up sampling several dishes: * Bread & Butter Service: A wonderful start to the meal. The presentation was beautiful, and they serve bread from Sixteen Bricks, one of Cincinnati's best local bakeries. Absolutely delicious. * Battered Cauliflower: The portion was generous, and the honey buffalo sauce was downright addictive. I fully intended to save some for later, but it never made it into a to-go box. * Short Rib Baguette: Served with a large portion of fries that were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The short rib was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the fries were impossible to stop eating. * Filet: Perfectly seasoned and topped with a rich garlic reduction that complemented the steak beautifully. The mashed potatoes were especially memorable--creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. * Dessert: We ordered both the PB&J peanut butter pie and the Fruity Pebbles cake. Both were creative and delicious. The cake had fantastic frosting, but the peanut butter pie was the star for me--rich, decadent, and absolutely worth ordering. The portions are generous enough to share, though I was happy to take some home. Even the details impressed me. The restrooms were immaculate and beautifully designed, and every member of the staff--from the restaurant to the hotel--was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. From arrival to departure, Iris Café delivered the kind of thoughtful hospitality and elevated dining experience that leaves you already looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommended.
