We started with the cherry bomb mocktail (for my friend) and the pineapple mule mocktail (for me). Both were phenomenal - very yummy! Then our server brought us some bread and butter - I could eat the whole basket. It was a honey butter with everything bagel seasoning mixed in - never had it before and didn't think those flavors would work, but we ordered another basket of bread! So good! For our meals, we both ordered the salmon, well done & blackened. Instead of the broccolini, I ordered a side Caesar salad. I'm not a fan of the risotto but that's only because I don't eat dairy regularly- I avoid it. My friend loved the risotto, the salmon and the broccolini. To finish, we ordered the carrot cake and the chocolate tarte. The tarte was very rich but so good! It's a very nice, quiet restaurant & bar with a great rooftop. Great for a date night or small dinner gathering

Came for dinner the first night towards the end of service and the server straight up told us he hasn't worked in 4 weeks and didn't know the menu. Then proceeded to tell us we have 5 mins to order to disappear and not even take our drink orders. Had to ask the bartender to find our server so we can order. It was also empty and we were put in a dark corner instead of a well lit table. For the price, the flavors were ok. Maybe because it was the end of service but it wasn't anything spectacular. We were rushed out and told if we wanted to stay to hang at the bar which we ended up doing. The next morning we went for brunch. Went maybe 30 mins into service to find no one in the restaurant. Thought we read the sign wrong but we were right. It took over 20 mins to get the server to get our drink orders (just an AJ and coffee) then ordered our breakfast which took another 30 mins to come out for it to be cold. I had the steak and eggs: asked for medium rare, got it blue and cold. Was never asked how I wanted my eggs and those were also cold. Only hot thing on my plate was the potatoes. Friend also ordered waffles that were cold and dry so we knew the food was sitting out for a while before it came to our table. Disappointed with the service when the hotel and concierge were really nice.

No sides, not even chips. It was good, but ... We drive by here all the time. The value, or lack thereof, makes me question whether we'll stop again.

We were greeted upon entering my the host and manager Seated immediately at a pristine table. Our waitress, Devon explained several items on the menu and made recommendations based on customer likes. We started with the focaccia bread. Lightly toasted. With our choice of herb butter or olive oil. Perfect, we ate every bite. Then we had the beet salad Red & Golden beets thinly sliced with fresh herbs and goat cheese. A lot of thought went into making this dish perfect thank you chef My lady ordered the filet and I had the 14oz Choice Strip Steak. Both incredibly tender and served with a variety of sauces. Bone broth, chimichurri, and herb butter. All the sauces were fabulous with me, preferring the bone broth. Our side dish of roasted herbs brussels sprouts, and cauliflower in balsamic glaze, very tasty. We did the big finish with a large slice of delicious carrot cake. The host and the manager Mark came by and checked out on us to make sure everything was perfect, our server Devon made sure everything was perfect & treated us like royalty. Definitely a five star experience

(I will be booking this option from now on.) I ordered the surf and turf seasonal option with lobster and filet mignon cooked medium. I was surprised when a sea scallop I didn't order and a small glass of wine spritzer popped up but this is part of the chefs table experience - it was a sea scallop grilled with a chimichurri sauce and some crispy prosciutto. I would have never ordered this on my own so it was nice to try. I am a not a huge seafood person - the minute I cut into it I smelled the sea which was a turn off and I wasn't a fan of the texture but once I cut into tiny pieces and mixed with the sauce and the proscuitto I was able to actually find myself enjoying the dish plus boy did it look pretty coming out! The chefs table is nice because you get to watch everything be cooked - the mac and cheese looks amazing every single time - omg I must try it sometime. My waitress was phenomenal with purple and blue hair and the glittery eye shadow. She was so attentive and helpful. The steak was so juicy and cooked perfectly - I think next time I would get a larger steak or the grilled shrimp option as I wasn't the biggest fan of the lobster tail but still finished it. The salad was okay - I wish it had ranch instead. I also got the orange cream cloud for dessert to go which was shockingly light, airy and delicious - the citrus flavors with the passion fruit are so refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try something new . The place is beautifully decorated and they offer free parking options - the music is very low so you can have a conversation and even the chefs table wasn't too loud even though it was right next to the kitchen.

My order came out wrong but they did go back and fix it. I would possibly back to try again but hope the service is improved.

We ordered the small supreme, veggie and bbq cheesesteaks with a side of waffle fries. We did pick up since we had to get back to work. Wow! Amazing! Tastes so good! As I remembered years ago!

There's plenty of seating though! Now on to the food; I got ham and cheese croissant (to go), Yaki omelet sando. I asked if it is good and the cashier said it's the most popular menu item! The omelet sando is delicious: crunchy, salty savory, just perfect with the perfectly toasted sesame sprinkled white toast sandwich! Highly recommended brunch place in Cincinnati for sure, definitely worth the hype and the long wait line!

I ordered the lox bagel and wooooow I was impressed and mesmerized. The salmon was fresh and cold, the best combo. Their were red onions, a nice sized tomato slice, capers, and a bit of cream cheese on top. The toppings weren't overwhelming and they paired perfectly together. The onions added a great crunch to the softer sandwich. I also appreciated how little cream cheese they put on because it did not overpower all of the other flavors and added the perfect creaminess. Now for the building and business itself. First of all, it was bussyyy but to be expected for a saturday morning. They were very quick with their orders both online and in-house. The service was nice, fast, and patient with me when I wasn't sure what to order. I have ben itching to go back soon and try something new, maybe this weekend :)

There are a ton of options! I landed on Shango's and got some really good nachos. They had the perfect amount of toppings that didn't overpower the flavor. The bar inside the food hall is super cute and I am intrigued to try more drinks from them later, but this time I got a gin and tonic for a quick drink. It was very well made and good. I really like the vibes at Factory 52 and I think it is the perfect place for so many different occasions such as doing work, going out, or spending time with friends.
