Lemon Dijon Chicken
Erin E.

If you read my reviews, you know that I'm generally extremely positive. So to write a less than average review is a big deal for me. We were so disappointed in our meal here. We came for our sons 16th birthday and the service was lackluster. Food was average. For these prices, I expect the service to be top notch. Service was so slow and the food was barely warm. My medium steak was well done. We were never offered a dessert menu, never asked if we wanted another glass of wine, sides came out well after our steaks, we tried ordering wine and they were out of the 2 we wanted, they were out of Brussels sprouts... I could keep going. Sadly, this is our first and only time to this restaurant.

The food, service , and atmosphere, all lived up to Eddie Merlot standards. I had the filet mignon sliders cooked to my liking with house made chips. Excellent

Megan B.

phenomenal! The steak was cooked perfectly. everything came out exactly as described on the menu. The service was impeccable and the ambience was relaxing and surprisingly quiet for how large the restaurant was.

Trio of Medallions

First off, was a bit apprehensive from the reviews, but ended up pleasantly surprised. While it's no Ruby's, it's pretty decent. Had reservation and was seated promptly. Girls at the front were talking for a bit before acknowledging us. This is the difference in service compared to ya know! Seated with our waitress Jo who was very nice and explained the menu. Food was taken well and came out at appropriate times. Will says some more coordination with everyone to be smoother would be nice but not a huge deal. Bread did take like 30 minutes to come out. So the food. Had Crab cakes to start, tiny bit pretty good. 3.75. Caesar wasn't mine but had a bite, nothing crazy good but not bad. I had French onion and it was Amazing! Had filet and trio of medallions for myself. A tad undercooked IMO but still pretty good. Really, the creamed spinach was my favorite. Crème brûlée was not something I would order again. Now I would probably give this place a bit under 4 but Nonetheless, above average. Still go to Rubys for price point

Bourbon Lemon Drop Martini

Cheers to happy hour! Eddie Merlot's seriously has one of the best happy hours in town. My goodness, everything was perfect from the atmosphere, to the service, to the food. I tried the lobster roll, which was one of the best I have had, including those I have tried along the east coast. The roll was buttered to perfection and filled with big chunks of lobster. I appreciate that it was not overwhelmingly dressed in mayo. It was just perfect. I upgraded from the house chips to the truffle fries. Next time I will try the chips. For my cocktail, I ordered a bourbon lemondrop martini, which was perfectly balanced and amazing. Shout out to Teresa and Jess who tend the bar. Their super cool energy brings a fun and more relaxed vibe to the upscale scene. This is my new fav happy hour spot. Cheers!

Great atmosphere! The service was fantastic. Our sever, Michael, was professional and personable. He was knowledgeable about the menu. We got the crab and corn bisque, mojo shrimp and scallops, and New Orleans mixed grill. All were great! Crème Brûlée for dessert was sublime! Great place to celebrate a birthday.

First Time! Lunch! Menu varieties! Quick business friendly and celebration personal feeling! KING CRAB & CORN BISQUE SOUP and CREAMED SPINACH WITH BACON SIDE NEW ORLEANS MIXED GRILL !!!! I ordered the Peanut Butter cup for dessert but to go and the server said, I wish you would let me take it to the back and present it to you, you would see how pretty it is! Thank you sir! Private Events!!!! Yes Yes and Yes! Go look and inquire! I didn't explore that option but I know venues, events, and catering and I am saying this is a yes for me! You will see when you walk in, beautiful art and decor to admire! Eye-catching colors. Whomever this designer is also gets 5! I delighted in every minute! Thank you!

Over charged bill !!

Is it Dressy attire? If so, what does that mean, exactly? Scoured the internet and cannot find an answer. :)

It's just business casual. A nice steakhouse but not a suite/tie formal place.

Oh my! Merry Christmas on overdrive! Couldn't be more excited to share this unique experience with…read moremy adult children. We started with a shot and then the two cocktails. Such an amazing experience

I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)

pleasantly surprised of our all over experience…read more... The food is simple bar food, and was pleasantly surprised on taste, quantity, price, & quality. We had French frys, and a cauliflower crust cheese pizza Frys were fresh and hot, and the pizza had good tasting sause with plenty of cheese. The club it self is very simple but clean. Staff was freindly and wait staff and others were very pleasant. We went on an amateur night and most comedians were pretty good even the not so good ones were funny in there own way. as humor is very subjective. Amateur night was only $5 each to get in and they have a 2 item minimum per person so we just ate to cover the minimum. The biggest issue I have with them is the auto gratuity of 20%. I always tip well (Usually 30% or better for good service, as tipping is an earn item not expected), but do not tip with an auto gratuity. As they are saying they do not expect more.

I LOVE this place…read more They may single-handedly have the best margaritas in town. Tasty and strong -- just how I like them. Every time I go, the drinks are consistent and well-balanced, and they don't skimp. I usually pop in for a quick happy hour with friends or former coworkers, and it's perfect for that. So far I've had the deviled eggs and the potato latkes, and both were really good -- great little bites to pair with a margarita. The vibes are super cute, cozy, and welcoming. I cannot wait until the weather warms up so I can sit out on the patio -- it's going to be such a whole mood. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Pro tip: if you get there around 4:30-5:00 PM, you typically won't have much of a wait. If you're in Blue Ash and want strong margaritas, cute vibes, and easy happy hour energy -- this is your spot.

Unbelievable experience this morning at brunch. My friend and I each ordered a regular coffee and a…read morebowl of French onion soup plus a Croque Madame to share. Our server brought all three food dishes out at the same time, which we could not even fit on the small table without taking off some things to put on the bench next to me. The soup was tasty, but mostly large cubes of bread with practically no cheese at all. The Croque Madame had no discernible cheese on it at all. The worst part: we each requested a coffee refill (one was never offered), and our server poured half of my friend's topped up coffee directly from her cup into my cup! I was so shocked that I was speechless. To top off this incredible faux pas, she split the check into two without asking, and I was treating my friend. Instead of bringing a new check as I requested, she had me sign her tablet that just showed the total, with no breakout, had me fill in her tip, and then walked away with neither asking me if I wanted a receipt, which of course I did, nor providing me with one. The coffee thing was so gross and unsanitary that I never shall return.

The food alone is 5 starts: Seasonal pizza, GF Detroit Style crust...every other pizza pales in comparison. I will dream about this pizza, even though I was hungry after. More chicken needs to be added! The chocolate sorbet was exquisite. No notes. Was not offered to add candied almond or hot honey, it didn't need it. Possibly best restaurant dessert. Lower score because I was judged harshly by my server about where I lived, them being uppity and saying, "Eww, I'd never live there." After observation it seems mostly "regulars" dine here, I must have not looked expensive enough, or behaved poorly enough. For the price, I shouldn't be leaving hungry, or ashamed. Taglio, I will forever crave this meal, and forever feel awkward about dining with you.

And, we were in and out in about 45 minutes without ever feeling rushed. This was some of the best service we've had in a long time, especially while traveling. We'll absolutely be stopping here again -- this is officially our new pit stop between Tennessee and Pennsylvania!

Coffee, cocktails, and bottle-shop, indoor and outdoor, by Summit Park…read more Friends were visiting the playground on the east side of Summit Park in Blue Ash (May 2025). Some of us needed coffee. Some (not the parents :-) wanted something more mellowing :-). Enter Higher Gravity on Summit Parkway. They have a full menu of (soft) coffees and teas, a full bar, and a "bottle store" of more spirited beverages. The coffee was strong and smooth, some with dairy, some with oat milk! Almond and coconut "milks" were also available. Espresso drinks, too. Nice! They made me a lovely, even smoother, black coffee with bourbon to sip. Another got an ice-cold Weldwerks Orange Creamsicle sour, flavored true to its name. Street parking is a little sparse, but several spaces right in front are for takeout, so we found a spot easily. There are some seats out front, and the playground is right across the street with several picnic tables outside of the kids-space. Perfect for all our wants and needs, including responsible alcohol-free childcare.

This felt like a modern, low key bar to grab a drink - counter seating, benches, outdoor seating. A family even had two young kids with them. The bartender was nice and quick. This is a great place to grab a beer after work. And it's great to walk around this area afterwards.
