    Dutch mac and cheese
    Cynthia R.

    I kept hearing great things about Lisse. Finally went for our anniversary dinner and it lived up to, even exceeded expectations. We had impeccable service from the general manager Emily. Inside is beautiful and spacious but broken up into rooms so it feels more intimate. We opted to sit on the rooftop to enjoy the views. Every dish we had was top notch, from the apps to the mains to the desserts. Would definitely return and recommend.

    Steak, fries, and monster sized asparagus

    The steak and meal was really good, but they did serve whiskey on the rocks with basically freezer bucket ice instead of a large cube to minimize dilution. Minor nit, but to be expected at this price point (and in fact, their sister restaurant did serve the correct way)

    Lisse has been one of Main Strauss's largest and best restaurants for a few years now. A true "steakheisse" it features excellent meat cuts. The service is knowledgeable and accommodating. Overall the space is a little sparse on the first floor but during warmer weather months their rooftop and upper floors are wonderful.

    Had a Christmas work party here and All our steaks where cooked the same as medium rare, this was more than just rare. My coworker took this picture and I saved it just so I could post it. I understand making 50 steaks at the same time could be a difficult task but for the price it should be better. Was also a lot more fatty than other strips I've had. Everything was great

    Dutch Mac and Cheese
    Kirk S.

    My friend and I were looking for a pre-show meal before seeing "Into the Woods" at the Carnegie in Covington and Lisse Steakhuis caught my eye when I was searching for places nearby that take reservations. I'm a sucker for a good steak. We were seated immediately in a nearly empty dining room (it was only 5 pm on a Saturday, but I'm shocked it wasn't more crowded) and our server, Loren, brought us water and took our drink order. He was professional and friendly, but also paced things perfectly. I love a server who knows how to explain the menu without overdoing it. Shortly after bringing our Cokes (or Cherry Coke in the case of my friend), we were also treated to complimentary bread service. It was good, but nothing fancy. We both settled on the Van Gogh, an 8 oz. filet. My friend likes hers medium rare; I get mine medium. We both thought that they were just a tad more done than we like them, but that's fine - we'll recalibrate next time we go. We certainly didn't waste any time devouring them regardless. I also had a Caesar salad to start; it was tasty with a nice creamy dressing and just the right amount of cheese. We shared the Dutch Mac and Cheese; this side is worth going to Lisse for alone! It was piping hot and so cheesy, with a nice mixture of flavors. Finally, I had the double chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert. My friend had the Boterkoek (or more commonly referred to as "Butter Cake.") She loved it so much. I sampled it and it was good, but I prefer something a little richer. My cheesecake was huge and I couldn't even finish it. I think I'll try Creme Brulee next time, just because I love Creme Brulee! I thought the price was reasonable for the level of service and the quality of food but be advised that this is priced like the luxury steakhouse experience that it is. We already made reservations to return.

    The Rembrandt filet with smokey bleu butter
    Serena J.

    Lisse was wonderful for a friend's recent birthday celebration! The staff was attentive and the menu was diverse. It was a treat to explore the Dutch-inspired options. I ordered The Rembrandt, a 10 oz barrel cut fillet. It was cooked perfectly and the smokey bleu cheese topping was a wonderful accompaniment. I sampled a few of each appetizer with our group of 10 and each was delicious. The desserts were great as well; I'd especially recommend the chocolate cheesecake or the butter cake! The only place I'd detract points were for the decor. The furniture and decor don't quite match the price point of the menu - it isn't a necessarily a modern steakhouse like the exterior of the building may lead you to believe. The finishings are a bit mismatched and bright on the first floor. This has no impact on the quality of the food or service, but is worth mentioning if you're considering Lisse for a celebration or gathering with friends or family.

    Bitterballen
    Michelle S.

    One of the best steaks I've had! I'm not from around the area so this will be worth a trip back when I visit again. Lisse's is a steakhouse but ironically the atmosphere and vibe isn't some fancy place but more of a swanky and kind of casual feel based on decor and the servers clothing. Much of their menu has Dutch inspiration and some Indonesian flavors. I could taste it in the bitterballen; an appetizer I highly recommend by the way. It's deep fried slow cooked beef on the inside that has hints of curry taste served with some sweet chili sauce and mustard. I felt it paired better with the sweet! We ordered the barrel cut filets, highly recommend the Oscar topping (hollandaise and crab) with a side of hutspot (mashed potatoes and mashed carrot). The steak was cooked perfectly to our liking and was very juicy with a perfect sear and saltiness. We will definitely be back to try more items!

    Greenhouse salad. Great flavor if overdressed
    Joel B.

    Great views, giant wine menu, and a relaxed atmosphere (on the roof/bar area). good price on a decent sized salad the had great flavor. My partner's steak had the absolute best crust and flavor, with a very generous Bleu cheese butter topping. Unfortunately my flounder was much less impressive. A great cook on the fish, but the cooked spinach was unseasoned and oily, the bearnaise sauce luke warm, so the overall dish was lackluster. Friendly service and covid grading is a 4/5

    My partially eaten steak.
    Kevin G.

    Excellent food and service. I got the 12 Sirloin with a baked potato and grilled carrots. My wife ordered the Flounder meal. Everything came out cooked to perfection. We arrived at 5:00 and were seated as soon as we walked in. As we sat here eating, the place began to get busier, but not completely full,

    The waygu burger and fries!

The space is open, bright and well decorated making it very inviting for brunch. You order at the counter from the menus placed along the wall then food is delivered to your table. The various brunch items all sounded very inviting so I was having trouble deciding what to order. So I got a recommendation to try the Shakshuka. Not sure how to pronounce it but when it arrived it was just the right portion and quite tasty for brunch. It's a bowl with a red pepper sauce and feta cheese and kale along with eggs sunny side up. The dish is served with pita so you can do a little bit of dipping in the tasty sauce. To accompany our food we selected the mimosa service and bloody mary pitcher. A pitcher is just perfect for sharing. And the mimosa service was delightful. The server arrived with a bottle of Prosecco and small carafes of orange, grapefruit and blood orange juices to mix yourself. The food was fresh and tasty with prompt delivery of our food to our table. Not quite a full service restaurant since you have to order at the counter but still a nice experience located downtown.

I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte.

    Wow! What a way to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary! I loved this place…read more It has been a few months since eating here but I still find myself thinking about it. Our next trip to Cincinnati; It will be extremely difficult to stay away from here. We spent the day in Newport and around Cincinnati and wanted somewhere nice for the occasion. I was iffy on this place at first... you can throw a rock all over America and hit a place with 'Barrel' in the name these days. The Yelp reviews swing both ways here but I'm here to tell you my take... because it swings so far towards the 5 stars that it's very much a 6 or 7 star place(maybe more). We gauged our arrival time based on other activities that day. We wanted ample time at the nearby Lego exhibit so when we arrived there, we made a reservation for 4:30-5. Eating early and making our way back to Louisville was a great idea. The entire time we were there, no one else came in so we had the entire place to ourselves(It was a Friday). The atmosphere is homey but during busy times, I could see it being noisy. The booths could easily fit 6 people comfortably... probably 8 in some cases depending on how wide some of you are. Special Note: This place highlights The Parrillada Experience for Two on their menu and we wanted it! We didn't order it because at a price tag of 130-and pictures online, we didn't want it to be a failed outing. After our first trip, The Parrillada Exp will be on the agenda next time. It's a mixture of different steaks, sausages, shrimp, sides, and salads. Definitely worth the cost. On to the food: Sausage App - Argentine Chorizo. Farmhouse Sausage. Grilled Ciabatta. Hearts of Palm. Green/Red chimichurri. Pepper Relish. I don't like ordering this type of dish when I go places because you never know if it's going to be delicious or very bad. It ended up being super delicious. We couldn't make up our mind which sauce we liked the best and which meat we liked the best. App PERFECTION! Land and Sea - This is what my wife went with. Asada Skirt Steak. Jumbo Shrimp. Asparagus. Red chimichurri butter. I had bites of the shrimp and it was good. I had to save room for my dish. Wagyu Denver Cut - I went back and forth. Lobster ravioli being on the menu almost made my decision instant but I was going back and forth between ravioli, steak, and a few other things. I asked the server which he recommended of the 4 Chef's cuts. He recommended two... one of which was the Wagyu so I went with it. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. He mentioned that the Wagyu Denver Cut was a new addition to the menu... I'm not sure but you could definitely tell it was cooked, arranged, and presented with care. I savored every angle of every bite. We also ordered a side of brussels because of course! Originally we were going to dessert somewhere else but went ahead and ordered the Hazelnut Vanilla Creme Brulee here. Perfect ending to the meal. This brulee was light and had the right amount of crunch. It was also larger than expected. We had no complaints with this place. Easily one of the better restaurants I've had in Cincinnati. If you're doubting visiting this place, take the dive! Other notes: They have beer and a small cocktail variety but they primarily seem focused on wine(plenty of options to choose from).

The drink was so good I had three... and I regret nothing. They were also running a pre fixed menu at a great price, and every stop on it absolutely slapped. The bread and butter plate alone was worth it, especially with three different butters to work through. The mushroom bisque was exceptional, rich and comforting. The chicken sandwich was a true love letter to the Midwest. And the chocolate mousse situation I ended with is something I'll be thinking about for months.

The good first, though: Whatever the flaws in its business model, Green District still turns out well-conceptualized salads that always seem fresh and tasty. The Hide & Go Greek is a very nice chicken one with a robust, terrific dressing. The Thai One On salad is (you guessed it) an Asian-influenced one with shrimp, lots of cabbage and cilantro, and a kind of generic but fresh-tasting Asian-style ginger-heavy dressing. Also very good. Fortunate thing you can order online and don't have to verbalize those unwieldy salad names to a fellow human. (But if you think those names are bad, another one wants you to hold its beer: the Tequila Mockingbird.). Anyway, the food gets this to three stars, but only barely. Alas, the service at this location is a shambles. Count on at least a 35-minute wait, even if you order right after 11am, when things presumably ought not to be backed up. And it looks like chaos back there--just not enough employees back there, most likely. Last time it took this restaurant an incomprehensible 50 minutes to get my salad out. (Who with a regular lunch "hour" downtown has time for this?) Credit to the unflappable and put-upon young fella at the end of the line; he kept doing his job steadily and kept cheerful about it. The manager is always madly rushing about and isn't nearly as cheery (but it almost certainly isn't her fault, either). It astonishing that the food can be is good as it is in this environment. There's something very wrong about this restaurant's business model when the family-run lunch spot down the street (seemingly just as many orders) can crank out your to-go salad (as good as here, for the most part) in three to five minutes and be as friendly as they can be about it. Whoever came up with the plan has some major issues to resolve.
