    Overlook Kitchen + Bar The breakfast bar is fantastic! Basically every item you could ever want is available and always delicious. The omelettes, smoked salmon, fresh fruit and pastries are yummy. The bacon is crisp and made to perfection. Service is outstanding as well. Outside seating is available with excellent views.

    Everything wings (got them for carry out. In restaurant presentation is prettier,  but these tasted delicious!)
    Brian S.

    We visited the Overlook for carry out during Cincy Wing Week and tried their "everything wings" that are normally on the menu and a Korean BBQ feature that I think was a special offering for wing week. We aren't dining in anywhere due to the pandemic right now, but I'm looking forward to getting back to this place. Don't be scared that it's on the 4th floor of a hotel. Free parking in the garage and a quick elevator trip. Plenty of outdoor space at this spot makes me want to go back for drinks in the warmer weather. The total surprise was the Everything wings. Tossed in a mustard aioli and topped with everything bagel seasoning, I didn't expect to like these. I like my wings like they like them in Buffalo! But these were a very happy surprise. Tangy and rich, they were a great contrast to the sweetness of the BBQ wings. I'm interested to try more off this menu.

    Russet Potato Gnocchi, to go

    I placed a takeout order for the Russet Potato Gnocchi. The service was great. The workers all were incredibly friendly and my order was warm and ready right as I got there. They even threw in a complimentary drink. The gnocchi was a perfect portion, and the vegetables in it were fresh and well cooked. The sauce for the gnocchi was a bit spicy, but overall a great dish that I would order again.

    Shrimp and salmon smoked

    Went here for Easter brunch. It was very enjoyable. Cost 40 dollars a person. Had a good assortment of options from a pasta station, 2 salads, smoked salmon and shrimp, fruit, cheeses, prosciutto, french toast with peach compote and more. I have a piture of menu. For meats they had lamb, prime rib, salmon, chicken veal short rib and plenty of desserts. Wide open and good view. Good service.

    Beet and goat cheese salad

    Great spot for a lunch break If you're in the area! I would love to see more vegetarian friendly options on the rotating menu. The salads are delicious however! The space overlooks the long stretched rooftop and Madisonville scenery.

    3 Course menu

    My mom and I met up for dinner for a ticketed "starving artists hospitality" event, where they offered a prix fixe menu from a visiting chef group. First things first - the space is beautiful, the open kitchen is awesome, the tables and plates and overall ambiance has a casual, cool, upscale vibe. Tables are appropriately spaced, guests and staff are wearing masks, it feels safe, without feeling isolated. When we got there for the dinner we were seated and greeted by a waitress almost immediately, she took drink orders and our appetizer order. We opted for separate appetizers, myself the soup, my mother the salad. Her wine and diet coke came by a separate server very quickly, as did our amuse bouche - a plate with a few slices of chorizo and pickled veggies. The pickling was aggressive, with no flavor, and seemed a "quick pickle" that didn't really soften the harder carrots, like at all. Chorizo is nice enough, if a little heavy in the mouthful. This dish didn't do anything positive for me, but I also wasn't expecting it so no real harm. While dropping off our appetizers the waitress asked us for our entree orders, so we've been served two courses and ordered the third within 15 minutes of sitting down. It felt a little rushed. Our salad and soup were both great, and came out almost immediately after the amuse bouche. The vegetarian pozole had good flavors, lots of veggies, both plusses. Salad was a bit overdressed and acidic, but it also made the raw kale much more digestible and combatted the bitterness that can come from raw greens. We're looking back up! Entree, again almost immediately after clearing our plates, they're moving fast. A pretty small piece of mahi, which disappointed me. I recognize at $40/3 courses I wouldn't be getting a LARGE piece of fish, but this was smaller than I expected. Fortunately, the cook and execution of every aspect of the plate was top notch. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and accompanied with some incredible blue corn grits, the entrees only failure was in it's size. Maybe I'm a glutton, but as I finished and was still hungry, I spent some time sitting thinking "Man I want more of that." And I spent quite a bit of time sitting too, because after the breakneck pace of the first 30 minutes of our meal, we were seemingly forgotten. One person from the visiting chef group came by, but he didn't notice or offer to replace our drinks, which had long since emptied. When we did flag a waitress they took our plates, asked for our dessert order, and promised our refills. Literally 30 minutes later our to-go beignets arrived, just as our refills did. While the waitress did apologize, and I recognize that they're probably running with an absolute skeleton crew due to pandemic staffing (fewer people minimizes spread), it was jarring after feeling shoved along at every step prior. Mistakes happen, they were gracious in the commission of said mistakes, and the meal was overall enjoyable enough that I know I'll be returning. Hopefully to a bigger piece of fish next time. Between the two experiences this one was probably closer to a 4, but the first experience was a 6, so I'm keeping it.

    I love casual cheese bars like this especially when you just want a nice snack before dinner to…read morestart the night and catch up with friends. However, this wasn't one of my favorite cheese bars in town. The cheeses were good but nothing special and the food pairings on the cheese board didn't seem to go that well with what was given. We paid $20 for a 4 cheese board which came with a few marcona almonds, green olives, Sweety Drop peppers, and bread with a mustard spread and fig Jam. We aren't allowed to pick the cheeses but rather they pick for you. I felt for the hard cheeses we had, we needed better food pairings and I was expecting more spreadable cheeses for the bread. They do have a crumbly cheese that has mustard seeds in it which was unique and delicious. I wish they had made some cheeses in house that could taste more fresh and would be unique to that place. They were also understaffed for a Saturday evening as there was a long line to place your order and the cheese board took really long to finally come out. We didn't have anyone check back in with us anytime after our board came out to see if we needed anything more like water, bread, had questions, etc... it could have been just that night, but we just didn't get the same attention we do in some other places like this. I've gone to Urban Stead and felt the quality of the cheeses were better and their boards are cheaper for what you get in terms of amount of cheese. We had enough from the one board with 5 cheeses to fill us up. They also interacted a ton more while we were there and the cheeses are so fresh since they make them all in-house. I'm glad I tried this place out as I've always passed by and wanted to try it out. It's located in Pleasant Ridge which is central for the Cincinnati area and it is around the corner from Nine Giants brewing. We read about some of the specials they have during the week so I'm willing to try it again when it might not be as busy.

Walked in and loved the laid back feel. Simple decor and open. Easy to order! We looked over the menu and decided to get the 4 cheese and 4 meats for $35.00. Picked a bottle of red for $23.00 (Portuguese). We felt that it was versatile and would go with any cheese. You are able to get it by the glass or if you don't feel like wine, they do sell craft beers in the fridge. You can pick your cheese if you like. There were two that caught our eye that we had to request the four alarm cheddar cheese (jalapeño, chipotle, habanero and ghost peppers) and Dragon's breath but it's soft blue cheese with spices and hints of mustard. They do not make the cheese in house. Their cheese are imported from all over the world. Very great selection in my opinion. With your cheese tray, you do get bread, olives and nuts and preserves. When we receive our tray, we were truly impressed! Cheese, bread, meats were fresh and presentable. They went well with our wine. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Besides our great experience, they do offer specials. Happy hour on Friday's, Wednesday's are flight and bites, Thursday's are sandwich nights. They also cater! Since we are only a couple miles from this awesome place, I know we will visiting again very soon! Thanks so much! Everything was perfect!
