The staff was friendly and attentive, and while you'll need to find street parking, it wasn't a hassle.

The Ceaser salad was the best Ceaser salad I ever had! The short rib empanada and the gnocchi was good as well but the gnocchi was covered in scallions. That wasn't stated on the menu or by our server when I asked if onions were in the dish, so unfortunately I did have to send that back and have it remade then ate the rest once I got back home. I also tried the Black Angus NY and it melt in my mouth like butter. They were busy and it did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it.

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).

Unfortunately, the food and overall dining experience fell short. We were seated near the kitchen, and the conversations coming from staff were extremely loud throughout the evening. Our server was kind, but she seemed unfamiliar with the menu. She even agreed that the $23 crab cake appetizer was overpriced and appeared to be missing a crab cake. The crab cake itself was extremely salty and fried so hard that it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Later, the server brought out a second crab cake, which we assumed was the missing portion, but we were then charged an additional $16 for it. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was just okay at best. My steak was cooked correctly internally, but the outside was overly charred to the point that it affected the flavor. The broccolini was burnt and extremely salty, so we sent it back immediately. The potatoes were also overly salty, watery, and lacked the onion flavor described on the menu. Overall, the menu descriptions simply did not match the dishes that were brought to our table. I will say the espresso martini was honestly the best part of the evening. Also, the evening manager, whose name I believe was Kensley, did bring out a butter cake as an apology, which was appreciated. For a birthday celebration and the prices charged, the experience was disappointing overall.

Our water glasses were never empty, our food was prepared perfectly and we never felt neglected but not hovered over, either.

For our main courses we ordered the Filet Mignon with Lobster and Pontchartrain sauce, ordered Medium, cooked perfectly, and the Scallops with drawn butter and Asparagus. (5 large scallops, had to take 2 home!) Dessert was a slice of Cheesecake with Blueberries. Delicious! We sat in a half booth, with views of the city and river. Delightful! If you need a suggestion for a meal and service that will not disappoint, look no further than MRBL. A true gem on the riverbank in Bellevue, Kentucky. Wish there was one near me in California!

Normally, I find hotel food is just okay and nothing special, but Coppin's was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, and our equally pleasant server quickly brought menus and asked what we would like to drink. When it was my turn, I happily ordered Coppin's Old Fashioned. I was the odd man out because everyone else ordered the Spring Manhattan. Judging by how quickly everyone's drinks disappeared, I'd say they were all very tasty. I was a little unsure about mine at first, so to make sure the quality and taste were consistent, I ordered a second, and it definitely was not a mistake. I ordered the B+G biscuits (which are made by hand according to server in the hotel) and gravy with an extra egg. Others at the table chose a variety of dishes, including the CVG, Cobb Salad, Bagel and Lox, and several other selections. Based on the clean plates all around the table, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My wife ordered a sample of banana bread, and I was fortunate enough to snag a small bite, it was excellent. After we had all finished, everyone agreed that my niece had made an excellent choice for her graduation celebration brunch. As my wife and I made our way back to Louisville, we both commented that we would definitely return the next time we were in Covington.

You could get an omelet or waffles or scrambled eggs in a serving pan. Bread pudding not what they called it (French toast casserole) was OK. They had simple salads in small bowls, small plain bagel with salmon and cream cheese that was set-up on the bar. Restaurant was half full at 1PM. Would never go back to this restaurant for any meal. Customers were taken advantage of. I felt totally ripped off paying over $300 for this (including drinks).

When I questioned she said that since I didn't order the one of the menu they use scooped ice, The true disappointment came when my drink was priced above the one on the menu. I ordered. While enjoying my crab bisque which was delightful I heard the bar tender share the special of the evening which included a salad, a 6oz. filet, petite lobster tail, mashed potatoes and asparagus, I subsequently asked about the special and canceled my original entree which was $28 more, no salad and no potatoes.
