    I've been coming to Ingredients for the past few years, and one thing that stands out is the…read moreconsistent improvement. Every visit feels just a little better than the last, which tells me the team genuinely cares and never gets complacent. Daryl, in particular, does an outstanding job making guests feel welcome. He takes the time to strike up conversation and check in on how your day is going--all while juggling multiple orders. It's impressive and makes the experience feel personal every time. My go-to order is the breakfast burrito (I always get it "burrito style") with bacon and a side of salsa. It pairs perfectly with a raspberry iced tea and the strawberry parfait--highly recommend that combo. I've seen a few reviews that paint a less favorable picture of the staff or food, but that hasn't matched my experience at all. Every visit I've had has been met with friendly service and consistently great-tasting food. Pricing typically runs around $17-25 for a meal like mine, which is right in line with other downtown Cincinnati breakfast spots. If you're staying at the Westin and have Elite Status, the breakfast vouchers through their partnership with Ingredients are a nice added perk. Overall, this has become one of my go-to breakfast spots in Cincinnati, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit

Some meat like bacon is baked in the brick oven so it's a nice added touch. Kind of pricey but the omelet was good and plenty to eat. The place is kept clean with someone always going around cleaning tables and clearing them. They have all kinds of drinks including Starbucks coffee. The view is beautiful right inside the Westin hotel ground floor lobby ish but it's kind of chilly. I wish it were a bit warmer to enjoy my hot food bc it got cold fast. Other than the prices (to be expected inside a hotel) and the chilly atmosphere, it's a great place and space and lots of space. And very nice staff.

She was generous in answering all our questions. She shared a lot of valuable information about nutrition and a proper diet. (She is a professional dietician.) She prepared 2 dishes for us to show us that healthy food can be delicious. (And it was!) Her explanation of the ingredients and how she prepared the meal was perfect. She provided paper/pen for us to take notes. She has a delightful personality that made the time in the class even more enjoyable. There were 8-10 of us in the class and I got the sense that we all became friends b/c of the atmosphere she created. The class was awesome and I cannot recommend it enough.

It's super simple and essentially the same food, just one is fried. It's delicious and wonderful. I always am happy to get a good meal here! The service is also always quick and the place always looks well-kept, for the most part. It's usually fairly quiet, but even when there are a lot of families present, the space is large enough to where it's barely noticeable and almost a non-issue for maintaining a happy, enjoyable meal.

Luckily I found one in convincing my co-workers to go for lunch one day. Great idea, right? And it turned out to be really good too. My co-workers and I went on a Wednesday for lunch. The place itself is pretty big and had lots of unique paintings and decor. I looked at their menu prior to going and they had lots of different options, from sushi to lots of different noodles to build-your-own hibachi bowls. It was honestly tough to choose because it all looked good, but I finally decided to build my own hibachi bowl. We all chose that in fact. They give you a bowl and let you pick your ingredients buffet style and they cook it for you once you're done. You pay by the pound and the price is cheaper if you go for lunch. They cook it pretty quickly because all of our bowls were done pretty fast. So fast that we weren't even done with the crab rangoon and edamame we ordered as appetizers. Everything was cooked very well and turned out very tasty. We definitely left full too and for a pretty nice price. Overall, good spot for a nice, tasty lunch. I could see going here again, of course, with my lady next time. We might try their sushi together.

    WING NIGHT = ABSOLUTE HOME RUN.My friends LOVE coming here specifically for wings, and they're…read moreright. Exceptional flavor, great deal, cooked right -- the kind of wings that make grown adults nod silently while chewing like they just heard the national anthem. You've clearly cracked the code there. Now... the rest feels like a restaurant that needs Ken back in the building doing what he does best: tightening Quality Control like a Marine inspecting bunks. The good stuff first:The ambiance is cozy. The TVs with the Olympics everywhere? Fantastic touch. It felt festive, communal, almost European... if Europeans watched curling while eating fries. Our waitress (who has served me a couple times before) is kind, attentive. Whoever is doing hiring and training deserves a raise...but today many of them seemed checked out. Now for the reality check -- delivered with affection: The dining room seating is uncomfortable. The enclosed patio high-tops are noticeably better. The regular chairs feel like they were designed by a chiropractor trying to drum up future business. The chili had good flavor but arrived just barely warm and missing onions, like it stopped just short of finishing school. The potatoes came missing bacon at first. When it did arrive, the portion was... let's call it "symbolic." About one crumpled strip -- not worth the price, even though the bacon itself was perfectly cooked and the aioli made the dish taste very good. Great ingredients, sloppy execution. Some plates are awkwardly shaped, which turns eating into a geometry problem. Our daughter -- a 23-year-old self-appointed restaurant expert -- liked the pancakes, (wanted the goetta burger but it was 86'd) and the sauce had developed that thick film that says, "I've been sitting here longer than a Senate filibuster." Again, good flavor... just tripped by execution. We also watched a neighboring table wait a long time to cash out -- long enough to turn a good experience into a frustrating exit. Julie said the girls bathroom felt like an outhouse in the Arctic on this snowy morning. Hand dryers are below the belt, so low you could dry your shoes. Take your Doan's Pills if you're over 60 and want to dry your hands. One ironic upside: those wobbly hard dining room seats do ensure fast table turnover. They also strongly discourage lingering for after-dinner drinks -- which I'm guessing was not the business strategy. Bottom line, Ken: This is a good restaurant that should be one of the best neighborhood spots in the city. The bones are strong. The staff is usually strong. The wings are elite.What's missing is your signature tightening of the details.... the last 10% that turns "good" into "people won't shut up about it." Because right now, this place feels like a Ferrari that just needs a tune-up. And everyone knows you're one of the best mechanics in town.

For drinks I had the hurricane, the espresso martini, I left my heart in Nola and sazerac. The alligator had good flavor but it was a tad bit tough. The fried green tomatoes were thin and I was not expecting that. The pasta, Mac and mussels had very good flavor. The blacked fish could have had more flavor in my opinion. My favorite drink was the espresso martini. It was one of the best I've ever had.

I sat in the bar so I could watch the band Mystic Mile perform, and they were great. I wish I could say as much for my Po' Boy. As shown in the photo, it was huge! As soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to need to eat some of it with a fork before I could get it down to being a manageable sandwich, especially since it had 13 nice-sized pieces of breaded shrimp. There was so much on the French bread roll that I could not even see the roll. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and tasty, and the homemade pickle slices added a nice touch. However, once I got to the point of trying to eat it as a sandwich, I was very disappointed to find that the roll had a hard crust and tough interior. It definitely was not crisp on the outside with a flaky, paper-thin crust and airy on the inside, which is how Po' Boy rolls were in NOLA. I took two bites of the roll and decided I would finish the shrimp with a fork. I ordered the Bananas Foster bread pudding for dessert. It had a great flavor, but the banana pieces were hard, like biting into an undercooked carrot. Overall the bar service was good, but the food quality was mixed since it tasted great but had some big flaws. BTW, if you're a big fan of root beer, try their draft root beer. It was extremely tasty. I wanted so much for this to be a great experience, but I have yet to decide if I'll return to give them another try.

I have a busy week ahead and knew I didn't want to spend time cooking so I was looking for pre-prepared meals! Lean Kitchen was the answer to my needs! Location: Right off of Red Bank Road, with plenty of parking options. Service: I was greeted by a super friendly woman working the front desk and she answered all of my questions and went through each of the food options with me. It seems like she even knew which customers were regulars, which shows how much they value customer service. Price: its a little up there. You can get 10 meals for $80. Cheaper than eating your lunch and dinner out every day but likely more than the cost of a weeks worth of groceries. Luckily the ease and the variety of the meals helps make the decision to purchase easier. Food: So far I've only had the Sweet and Sour chicken... PERFECT. It had a little kick to it but was flavorful. I definitely feel full after finishing despite the fact that it's not a huge portion. I have many more to try, but the other customers in the store raved about all the options. Including the bang bang tacos and cheeseburger bowls. I also saw some pastas, chili, salmon and veggies, chicken and rice dishes, tacos and more. And I arrived at the END of the day! I'm excited to try more and am thrilled that these items are healthy and not frozen. It makes paying a little more worth it. Inside: there's tables inside to dine, and a microwave to heat your dish. So if you're hungry and don't want to take it home (or are looking for lunch) you can certainly eat there. Also, I was in the store for about 10 minutes and 3 different customers came in to shop so it is popular. Im looking forward to returning to Lean Kitchen next week and giving the dishes I purchased a try this week. I love the location, food, convenience, and service! And I always LOVE supporting Black owned businesses! A true 5 star spot to check out!
