I discovered Almost V'gan while in town for work and walking the streets of downtown Cincy. They…read morehad a sign out front that mentioned they do vegan food and as a vegetarian of seventeen years, it was like they were calling my name. I also noticed that they are Black-owned,which is awesome to see. At the time, they had only been open for, I wanna say, two-ish weeks so my colleague and I decided to give it a go. The staff was eager to greet us and we got a seat right away. The space itself is magnificent. The bright bursts of color caught my attention first. It's definitely a vibrant space, modern, trendy, photogenic, fun, and creative. You got to check out the bathrooms - so cool! From what I gathered, the owner helped design it himself. The service is what stood out next. Everyone was so friendly, the chef and owner came to our table to check in, which is always a nice touch. As for food, I was only in for a quick bite so I went with the kale caesar salad and a side of truffle fries. I love me a good kale caesar and that definitely hit the spot. The only con with the food was that the serving sizes were rather small for the price. I believe this spot turns into a nightlife experience in the evenings. They have a full bar and even a DJ booth. I would no doubt visit again in the evening. It's great for a date night or evening with friends. Overall, I hope they succeed and recommend you give them a try, even if you don't like vegan food.

The fries are tasty, but I can see why some people say they're over seasoned/salted. The grilled cheese is a fantastic mix of gooey cheeses. The Mac and cheese was good, not great, and has kind of a crazy amount of black pepper in it. The tomato soup is good, but spicy. Like spicy enough that they should probably note that, since kids and some people will freak out. The pickles, also crazy hot and spicy, and they should definitely note that somewhere. It's a very cozy little diner and the decor is fun. The games and puzzles are a nice addition. Parking is easy, as there's street parking and a parking lot across the street.

If you're looking for tasty plant-based food while exploring Findlay Market, I definitely recommend stopping by Plant Harmony! The space is a stand within the market but there's seating inside and outside the market. When the weather is nice, the outside seating is great!

Where do I even start? It honestly tastes better than some Mac and cheese I've had. I don't know how they got it creamy and delicious and yet still vegan, but I'm a fan! The potato salad was also a yummy win for me. Stumbling on this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Definitely check it out!

Really a nice place to hang out and have a meal. The service has always been friendly and knowledgeable. And then the food is always great. The last time I went I tried the Goetta. It's a unique German based meat that you really don't come across outside of the Cincinnati area. You might like it, you might not. But I'd say it's worth giving a try. The whole "when in Rome" thing. Worth noting is that they are in the heart of Cincinnati and parking will be dicey. You'll either need to be in a deck or on the street if you're planning on driving. Ultimately, it's worth swinging by and checking them out. The next time I'm in Cincinnati I'll drop by again.

Fun, attentive, engaging, and gave us great recommendations throughout the evening. We started with the oysters, Skillet Cornbread, Pork Belly Skewer, and H20 Melon. The cornbread was, without a doubt, the best we've ever had. Subtly sweet, pillowy without being cakey, with this amazing sweet-savory depth. The whipped Steen's butter was the perfect complement. WOW! The pork belly was another standout. The coconut Alabama BBQ was rich and flavorful without being heavy. The melon was beautifully plated, and the country ham added the perfect salty contrast. The oysters were the only miss for me. They had a little more of that "fishy" quality than I prefer, but I'm admittedly particular about oysters. For dinner, the Jollof was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The Lamb Neck was a little gamier than I personally prefer, but my son clearly disagreed because he devoured it down to the bone. Then came the IBÉRICO. When I tell you how good this was...we finished it and ordered a SECOND one! The pork with corn maque choux, chimichurri, and lime was incredible. Rich, bright, savory, and beautifully balanced. Easily the star of the evening. We finished with the Key Lime semifreddo, which was light and airy. I also had a Paper Plane, a simple cocktail that many places surprisingly don't get right. Nolia nailed it. Fresh citrus, quality ingredients, and perfectly balanced. I also loved the hospitality. The chef greeting guests as they arrive is such a small thing, but it immediately makes the experience feel warm and personal. Between the food, Henry's service, the cocktails, and the hospitality, this was such a lovely place to celebrate my son. If you haven't been to Nolia, GO. And order the Ibérico. Honestly, you may as well order two. We did!

Both my server and manager were so engaging and friendly, it didn't feel like I was dining alone. The space itself definitely doesn't make it feel like you're in Cincy- very warm and inviting. I settled on the cornbread, which is a menu staple. The butter on top felt so decadent and the cornbread itself was very savory. For my entree, I chose the jollof and the veggie selection for the evening which was grilled okra with a banana gastrique. That alone felt so cool, I had to order it. The jollof was so good, so filling, perfectly spiced and Chef actually broke it down for me all the spices he used to capture that flavor. I wish I had room for dessert, but I didn't want to go too crazy!
