    Stopping at Fretboard for a beer!
    Dale H.

    Fretboard has a great space and offers the Hefeweizen that I live!! We decided to order dinner from Gabriela's Filipina Cantina. I went with the rice bowl with chicken. Yum!

    Element Eatery continues to be an excellent food hall, with a wide variety of options and a warm atmosphere. It has been awhile since I visited, and most of the food stalls have completely changed since I last visited. I really enjoyed the fish and chips from The Pub. Aglemesies Ice Cream is also available at a dessert food stall. I love that they have both tables, as well as comfy seating areas available. This is a great place to come with a group- you are guaranteed to find something for everyone.

    Nachos

    Great food, lots of options! Got nachos and they were a good size to share and super tasty! Went on a Friday night and there was a DJ, indoor and outdoor seating options. Ordered on my phone and was able to pick up from the counter.

    3.5 stars. This continues to be a beautiful space. I've spent time in many different food halls. This one is particularly thoughtful in design and is comfortable. Water stations, clean, nice bathrooms, ample variety of seating. However, the food options are starting to disappoint. After a few years of being open, they seem to have high turnover of stalls. I'm guessing it's very expensive and difficult for the smaller owners to survive. Almost all of the original vendors seem to be replaced by new niche cuisines. While exciting, the value for the food is just not there. It's simply too expensive, and this is fairly consistent across stalls. It kind of defeats the purpose of fast food or fast casual in a food hall when you can't really sample many different items. It's disappointing, and I hope this concept can improve and survive. Fingers crossed.

    We love it here. The space, bar and food options are great. We love our wonderful bar staff. We claim them as family. We eat, drink, people watch for hours. The beer selection is great. Being able to taste even better!

    I love the variety this place offers. And being able to order on the app from multiple places makes it so easy. Very family friendly. Food is fresh and quickly prepared.

    Birria taco
    Desiree B.

    This is the place for the couple who can't agree on what to eat! Everything we had was SO good! RJ's Taproom - So much variety. We started with 2 beers that were both good. They have options that I haven't seen elsewhere. MashRoots - The beef empanada was good but their garlic sauce truly put it over the top. My husband considered ordering a second just to use the sauce. The fried plantains are sweet and gooey. Little Easy - It's been a while since I've been to NOLA so maybe I'm not remembering correctly but this is the best gumbo that I've ever had. The small is a good size and filling for $6. I had to talk myself out of ordering a second because of the perfection of spicy, rich, dark reux. Matteo's Mexican - The Birria tacos are good. A little mushy and messy so be prepared. Romaru Ramen - Fried Gyoza was just ok. Not bad but not memorable. The original boba drink didn't taste like anything other than milk. I took one drink and didn't want anymore. They said that today is their last day here anyway.

    The Birria Tacos
    Blurred A.

    Got Birria tacos from Matteos and they were soggy, salty, greasy and wet. Had to use a fork and knife to eat it. I didn't want to eat it but I paid $13 whole bucks for these so it has to be done. Not my proudest eat. Everything else on the menu like the other taco selections and burritos are pretty good. I give this 3 booms. Price is not the best but in this economy what can you do.

    Lunchtime for the staff is 2:00.
    Tia B.

    Sat here around 2:00 on a Monday afternoon. Pretty empty. Had to get up and move into the bartender's eyeline as she was busy eating and reading. Took a solid 15 minutes to get service. Not cool. And served in a dirty glass!

    The food options at Element Eatery are plentiful and delicious! Everyone I've encountered there has been super pleasant and helpful. I love the casual seating as well as the bigger tables available for groups. I was also here for the Cincinnati Blues Society band contest, which was hosted at Element Eatery and was absolutely fantastic! A group of us came here for lunch. We ate outside and had a wonderful time. Everyone was pleased with their food. Element Eatery had great potential. I hope it continues to enjoy success for years to come.

    I would describe this place as an upscale food court minus the shopping. I love the concept! It's next to the hospital so businesses around the surrounding area can enjoy the meals on their lunch break. They have outdoor seating and inside is so spacious! Lounge chairs and plenty of seating. There is something for everyone here. From Ramen, street Latin food, bbq, soul food and more. Want to enjoy cocktails, wine or beer? There is a full bar! My In-laws was in town so my Mr and I wanted to take them here. It was so hard to choose! Everything looked so good. We decided to try: Tela Encore Jardin-Artisan lettuce, heirloom grape tomato, cucumber, shaved red onion, feta crumble, red wine vinaigrette. Added crispy chicken for $6.00. San Jeanette's Table 6 pc wings w/ garlic parm sauce Cauliflower wings w/ lemon pepper "Flamin" Donna May Mac & cheese bowl Steamed broccoli Galateria Chocolate Sorbet My salad was amazing and I also wanted cauliflower bites (add lemon pepper) from San Jeanette's Table which was the best I've ever had. My Mr and In-laws enjoyed every bit of it. Last, we had a chocolate sorbet. So rich and creamy. Loved it. Pricing was all reasonable too! Besides food, sometimes they have fun activities during the week. Live bands, trivia and even karaoke! This place is so cool and I can't wait to come back and try the other meals from different businesses.

    Carne Asada loaded fries
    LeAnn T.

    I'm born and raised Cincinnati (Ohio) and spent a lot of time in Madisonville growing up, never would have thought that Madisonville would have this kind of glow-up! Having lived out of state for some years now, i come home to visit every year for the holidays and saw this fairly recent development...Element Eatery - Food Hall. Beautiful place with different food options (from American classic, Mexican, Cajun, Italian,etc), live music, and modern decor! I see you, Madisonville!! Love what you've done to the place! Chose to eat ate at "Matteo's Mexican" (Cantina). And got their Carne Asada Fries (loaded fries with tomatoes, onions, guacamole, carne asada, cheese. Very tasty! A little on the expensive side ($16 for a mid-size bowl), but very good. Service was standard once someone came out to take my order (no one was standing out front at the register, probably because it was slow and they were all in the back cooking. I had to call out to alert someone that I was there to order). Food was tasty so I won't ding them on not having someone out front at the register. All in all, Element's is a beautiful place! I can tell it is a cool hang out spot. I wish there was something like this when I lived in the 'Nati, but now I'll have a place to come back to whenever I visit home. I'm giving 4 stars because of the cost of food there, but that's it...everything else is great.

    Fried chicken sandwich and tots from brew river
    Erin D.

    Love this place! It is a great gathering spot with friends as everyone can choose someplace different to eat from. The bar has a ton of options including many local brewery staples. There are lots of activities like trivia, bingo, and music throughout the week which can get a little loud if you aren't planning for it. I love trying a new spot for food every time I go. My current favorite is brew river! It is a serve-yourself environment, but employees will come around to clear empty dishes which is appreciated!

We absolutely love their nachos and, of course, their variety of drinks. Their nachos were perfectly cheesy, and the guac on top adds the nicest flavor and oomph to the massive tray.

I think the atmosphere and the vibes are what keep me coming back to MadTree again and again. It is so warm, welcoming, and lively in there.

It's got a huge inside with long tables and a large bar, plenty of space for large groups. Outside is even bigger, with plenty of tables of all sizes for any group. We sat outside to hear the trivia better and enjoy the pleasant evening. You order your drinks at the bar and your food through a QR code on the table you're sitting at. This process was nice, as we didn't have to track anyone down or stare at a menu while trying to order with a line behind us. We got our beers from a friendly bartender, sat, and took our time scrolling through the menu. Our food came together, which was strange as we expected the wing appetizer to come first. The pizza was awesome! The cheese blend reminds me a lot of costcos. The wings were just okay. Maybe I am not a buffalo person, but overall they did not have much flavor. Next time we'll try something else. Prices can add up, but it is nothing crazy compared to places around town. If you want a nice evening with good drinks, good atmosphere, and good food, I'd recommend here.

    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.)

    What happened to Hofbrauhaus?…read more We decided to have dinner with our son and friend and selected Hofbrauhaus. In the past it's been a decent place to get decent food and decent prices. Emphasis on decent. We walked in the door and were promptly scolded for being there at 8:15. "The kitchen closes at 9pm, don't drag your feet" was gow we were greeted. Once seated our server took our orders, but seemed a little distracted. No problem. This isn't white table cloth dining. Alas, once we ordered, we waited, and waited, and waited. Then a soup came out. It was cold. Sent back, still not hot, but we were reminded many times that the kitchen was closing. When three of our four entrees arrived, they were each cold. Sent back, lectured again about the kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen should make sure food was correct before they shut down? When the four entree arrived, it was warm. Burnt, but warm. The balance showed back up, appearing microwaved. $100 before tip for poorly executed cold food and not a manager in sight. We eat out enough to know $#!% can happen. When it does, usually a manager will check back. No manager. Just wait staff desperate to leave and a kitchen crew that needs a lot of help/training/butt kicking. At least the music was decent, even if the lead singer had a DLR sized ego.
