From the moment you walk in you're greeted with old mill gears that are in still in place, a stone fireplace and gorgeous views. If you are a diy'r this is a dream to decorate.

The prime rib was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pork loin was tender and the apple chutney was a perfect companion. The dinner service was seamless as well as the setup and clean up. If you're looking for an affordable venue without over the top options then this can't be beat. We would host another party here without question. Bravo, Mill Race. And a special shoutout to Kathleen, the event coordinator, she was a delight.

They had a bunch a round tables and a small stage for the entertainment. There was a rolling bar area that was by the entrance which was really just a makeshift closet space. The food was buffet style and was good. I went back for seconds so I can't complain. Staff was friendly and made the night enjoyable.

On top of it all, the self proclaimed owner of the bar dropped the F bomb towards me. If you are even thinking of having an event here... it's not worth it.

They have a caterer which was some of the best food I've ever had at a wedding.

With such a beautiful backdrop, it made for an incredible evening. The wedding planner, included kept things moving. The servers and bartenders were so friendly and did their jobs well.

If you have an event planner or prefer to DIY your event space, it's an ideal canvas to style the occasion to your liking. There is a bar in the center of the Center's lobby and there was plenty of space to set up a photobooth too. They have separate space within the grounds for a changing room and the bathroom facilities are large. It's a nice venue to look into if you are planning a wedding or a major event in the heart of downtown Cincinnati.

A large bar can fit in the front hall, there's a decent sized kitchen (with additional space attached if needed).

I attended a wedding here last Saturday, and it was a very nice venue…read more My fiance was in the wedding party, so we got to check it out Friday, for rehearsal, as well as Saturday, for the wedding. I was shocked when the bride told me they let her set everything up on Thursday (no Fri. wedding there that week) - for our venue, we only get to start setting up about 2.5 hours before, on the day of! Food was very good but apparently was catered (not from the venue), I heard. The venue itself was very charming, as others have said on here, and looks like it would be a nice place to play golf - they have a restaurant too, and locker rooms (my fiance said the groomsmen got to get ready/hang out in the locker rooms before the ceremony). Their ceremony was going to be outdoors, overlooking a waterfall/water feature, but unfortunately it rained that AM and they held it indoors instead - the reception room/ballroom is large enough that this was no problem, and I guesstimate that they had about 80-90 guests, including the wedding party. It was rather windy out that day too so I was glad it was indoors. Overall, a very nice spot to hold a wedding.

Writing this from the perspective of attending a wedding here…read more.. And from my vantage point, The Grand Ballroom is a lovely venue. A staff member was waiting for guests when they walked in to hand them tickets to validate parking so we could park in the nearby garage for free. The ballroom where the wedding was held had tall windows that let in a lot of light. It felt a bit historic, with large chandeliers, but also enough of an elegantly-appointed blank slate where you could do what you want with decorations and it wouldn't clash. After the ceremony, everyone went up a floor to the balcony that overlooks the ballroom for cocktail hour, while the ballroom was flipped for dinner. The servers were friendly with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and the staff in the ballroom pulled out the tables, which had been pre-set and waiting on the side of the ballroom. While anyone could see them setting up from the balcony, this did not cause any loud noises or interruptions. And then we headed back down for dinner, which was a mix of chicken and steak, I believe. It was delicious. Overall this venue was perfect for this wedding of less than 100 people -- the setting for a beautiful night.

It's located in the historic Phelps Building, which is the Residence Inn, right in the heart of downtown Cincy. Metered parking is available on the street, although we arrived around 10pm on a Saturday and the parking app said it was free, so score! The gentleman at the front desk directed us to the elevator to take to the 12th floor. Top of the Park has two levels, I preferred the 2nd level only because the view is slightly better. It was a little chilly, but the heater lamps and fires made for a cozy atmosphere. The bartenders were friendly and my drink was tasty. If you're looking for a nice spot with great views, Top of the Park, is it! I look forward to returning next time I'm in Cincy~
