    Frozen lemonade
    Amy D.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place looks like it sells tires, regrets, and maybe bootleg fireworks--but inside? Cheesesteak heaven, burger therapy, and Italian beef that could fix your childhood trauma.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I played it safe with the double cheeseburger combo. No fluff, no garnish--just flavor chaos in a bun. Toppings? Elite. Fries? Crispy emotional support. Frozen lemonade? Basically central A/C for your soul. Parking? A scavenger hunt meets Mario Kart. I flunked parallel so we did the "park and pray" out back. Just kidding--we paid like law-abiding citizens with snack-based intentions [[HIGHLIGHT]]Packed house. Greasy greatness. I'm telling everyone. Sorry, Cincy--your secret's officially blown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cincy Steak and Lemonade in Clifton is serving up delicious food and fun drinks right on Short Vine. They offer a wide variety of lemonade slushees and milkshakes that pair perfectly with their sandwiches. Each sandwich comes with a side of crispy fries that round out the meal just right (fyi the burgers are halal!). The service isn't bad, they come out with the food pretty quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the inside has about 4-5 booths to sit at or some outside seating for good weather but I'd probably suggest either sitting inside or taking it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    It was my first time trying it and it did not disappoint! I got the steak meal with a cherry slush. The portion size was more than enough for a big guy like me and the service was fast. The cooks and cashiers were very nice and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot is small so I wouldn't recommend bringing the whole family[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but their takeout service is exceptional. They gave me napkins and ketchup in my to-go bag without asking. Good place to check out if you're searching for a filling sandwich.

    The classic cheesesteak and fries.

    The cheesesteak was Amazing! Lemonade delicious. The service was very friendly. I went with my 8 yr old son on a Wed afternoon after his appointment at Cincinnati Children's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate outside at the picnic tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a few unsavory characters, yelling, cursing and smoking weed on the sidewalk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cars were in and out at the establishment next door which was a barbershop so not sure why so many people were going in and out in such a short amount of time and not getting haircuts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That is the the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. Other than that the food and service were amazing!

    The food is always fresh and hot. The service is always with a smile (except tall dude but he's still cool). The ambience is real nice and clean.

    My sister n law told us about this spot off pippin. My husband and I decided to try it. And it did not disappoint!! The service was kind and with a smile! The cheesesteaks and fries were amazing!! I crave them daily!! We've tried the deep fried cheesesteak as well and boy it was delicious!! The lemonades are top notch!! Garnished with fresh fruit on the straw!! Absolutely delicious and looks like a tropical drink!! We visit frequently!!

The ambiance…read morestrikes a beautiful balance between relaxed and energetic, with a music selection that creates an atmosphere you can settle into while still feeling inspired by the space around you. From the moment we arrived, the hostesses were warm and accommodating, and the service throughout the meal was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. As someone with gluten allergies, I felt genuinely cared for. The team listened closely and offered recommendations that never felt like a compromise on flavor or creativity. We began with a dirty chai latte, aromatic and comforting, though I personally would have enjoyed a touch more sweetness. The dirty French, customized gluten free, was rich, decadent and deeply satisfying. It felt indulgent in the best way and showcased the kitchen's ability to balance comfort with culinary intention. To go, we ordered the crunchy chicken nuggets, fries and lemon ricotta pancakes. The fries were outstanding, perfectly crisp and addictive. My husband loved the pancakes, light and flavorful with a bright citrus note. The gluten free nuggets were enjoyable, though they did not quite reach the level I expected compared to the rest of the menu. Overall, Sacred Beast offers a dining experience where hospitality and thoughtful cooking meet effortlessly. It is a place that respects dietary needs without sacrificing taste or creativity, and one I would gladly return to.

But unfortunately, my Lemon Ricotta pancakes - part of Diner Breakfast - were waaaaaay undercooked - totally gooey inside.

Started with the packed-with-flavor tuna tartlet, and it just got better from there! The Cherry tomato salad was such a different/ unique approach. Petite, but mighty with flavor, and I especially loved the spicy kick finish left on my taste buds. As a mushroom lover, I was thankfully steered toward the chestnut anolini and I absolutely loved it. Hubby loved his snap peas-carrots-beets salad, and the bite I had (despite not loving a couple of those items) had me thinking I made a mistake. The almond cake dessert with almond rosettes was next level amazing. It's restaurants like this that make me less apt to throw around 5 star reviews elsewhere, because most places don't deserve it, but this one does. I'll be back here every time I'm in Cincy!

I was beyond impressed with the precise timing of being served, dishes being cleared, and drinks being poured. Everyone was incredibly kind and balanced small talk with fun details about the various dishes and the restaurant itself. It's worth mentioning that many, if not all, of the greens and flowers come from Chef Blackman's own backyard. We learned that literally everything is made in house, minus the bread, which comes from a shop right across the street. In my humble opinion, the chef's table experience is second to none in Cincinnati. It obviously comes with a premium, but I would choose Wildweed over a Jeff Ruby's any night of the week.

SO so good…read more We started with the lavender lemonade mocktail -- which I absolutely added tequila to -- and it was smooth, refreshing, and dangerously delicious. 10/10 would order again exactly the same way. For appetizers, we got the whipped feta. Delicious, creamy, and perfect for sharing -- but fair warning: avoid the peppers if you're not into a little kick. They sneak up on you! My friend and I split the house salad and WOW. A complete showstopper. So fresh, the vinaigrette was bright and delightful, and those fresh bacon bits? Chef's kiss. It's rare that a house salad stands out like that, but this one absolutely did. Now let's talk about the prime rib. I typically do not like steak or prime rib... but our waitress recommended it as the best thing on the menu, and honestly the Yelp photos had already convinced me. When I tell you it was BOMB -- I mean it. So tender. So flavorful. Perfectly cooked. Paired with broccolini and mashed potatoes, it was a whole experience. To end the night, we shared the apple tart with cinnamon ice cream -- warm, sweet, comforting, and the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great service, incredible food, and such a vibe. I cannot wait to come back.

I got the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious and refreshing without being too floral or soapy. For dinner I got the braised short rib which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The bone marrow demi glaze I could have a bowl of that stuff is phenomenal. The broccolini was roasted perfectly but I felt the potatoes could've used more seasoning. My mother got the lemon chicken pasta, which was good at the time, but when she got home it did not sit well with her. All in all, I would come back for the short rib, and I hope Alara finds a new location soon. The inside is nice and romantic seating, but it is cold ... like bring a jacket and it seems it doesn't matter the season it is colder inside because I saw a google review that also mentioned the temperature of the dining room.

I ordered an old fashioned and got a cute glass with an ice cube the approximate size of a baseball (and the old fashioned was good). We had the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and it was great - mix in your horseradish as desired (if you don't mix it in, the cocktail sauce is sweet, but with your desired level of horseradish, very good). My husband had the burger, and liked it a lot. I had the pork chop and a side of mashed potatoes, and I think this was the best pork chop I've had in my entire life. The apple finish and the carrots were divine (I didn't love the greens but they were okay) and the mashed potatoes were spectacular. We loved this romantic dinner experience and can't wait to come back. Hopefully without a loud party in the bar. (We were happy for them - they were just loud). Definitely recommend.
