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
Kim S.

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
Glenn C.

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
Meera K.

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
Joel B.

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.

Specialty drinks

We were hotel guests so we dined in multiple times while there. This is the only restaurant for lunch/dinner in the hotel. They also serve breakfast in the morning on the other side of the restaurant however I would still consider this essentially one restaurant. We probably tried majority of everything on the menu because we went here for lunch and dinner a couple times. The first time we did not realize the lunch and dinner menu is the same all day so we ended up eating there twice in one day because we did not feel like venturing out of the hotel. The prices are medium to high, but the ingredients used all come from local businesses which I am a huge fan of. The service was slow to mediocre- could use some improvement. My favorite things was the grilled cheese, pasta, wings, and the duck bacon crostini. The crostini was not quite a crostini because it was staled - but I enjoyed the bacon, arugula and cheese spread. The hotel itself is very trendy and artsy. There is a art exhibit part of the hotel, and they have a couple of areas on site that would be great for large events. While there, they had a silent auction for art pieces painted by children. This was a nice surprise we got to experience! The hotel and rooms itself is as pictured- which was a relief. The rooms were very clean, and the beds/bedding were very comfy so we were able to get rest when we had down time. I would say the only issue I had was were did stay for 3 nights and housekeeping never cleaned our room. The first time we were still in the room so we asked they come back. No one came back. The next day we left for a few hours, and housekeeping was next door, we put the sign out of the door to refresh our room just to make sure- when we returned still untouched. We had to call guest services to request towels, toilet paper, coffee, and to take it our trash. You can imagine I was not thrilled. We had a super early flight the next day so the entire trip we did not have our room cleaned at all except by me which is not really something I wanted to do while on vacation. I would also mention they have direct tv and it was raining so the cable did not work. I would also point out the hotel has a gym and a yoga studio- but not pool. Honestly,i think it is a huge negative there is not a pool because if you have kids- kids want to swim and there is really not a good place to stay if you have kids. There is nothing for them to do unless they know how to shoot pool. P.S. the location is convenient - close to a lot of local restaurants, close to downtown, highway, however as nice as the hotel is - it is in the middle of an interesting neighborhood. Interesting meaning one side of your view looks like a little sketchy neighborhood.

I LOVE this place…read more They may single-handedly have the best margaritas in town. Tasty and strong -- just how I like them. Every time I go, the drinks are consistent and well-balanced, and they don't skimp. I usually pop in for a quick happy hour with friends or former coworkers, and it's perfect for that. So far I've had the deviled eggs and the potato latkes, and both were really good -- great little bites to pair with a margarita. The vibes are super cute, cozy, and welcoming. I cannot wait until the weather warms up so I can sit out on the patio -- it's going to be such a whole mood. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Pro tip: if you get there around 4:30-5:00 PM, you typically won't have much of a wait. If you're in Blue Ash and want strong margaritas, cute vibes, and easy happy hour energy -- this is your spot.

Unbelievable experience this morning at brunch. My friend and I each ordered a regular coffee and a…read morebowl of French onion soup plus a Croque Madame to share. Our server brought all three food dishes out at the same time, which we could not even fit on the small table without taking off some things to put on the bench next to me. The soup was tasty, but mostly large cubes of bread with practically no cheese at all. The Croque Madame had no discernible cheese on it at all. The worst part: we each requested a coffee refill (one was never offered), and our server poured half of my friend's topped up coffee directly from her cup into my cup! I was so shocked that I was speechless. To top off this incredible faux pas, she split the check into two without asking, and I was treating my friend. Instead of bringing a new check as I requested, she had me sign her tablet that just showed the total, with no breakout, had me fill in her tip, and then walked away with neither asking me if I wanted a receipt, which of course I did, nor providing me with one. The coffee thing was so gross and unsanitary that I never shall return.

It's spacious and the lighting is romantic. I love the decor. Contemporary and simple. Their menu is tapas style. Their drink menu has everything. Especially wine. They all pair well with the meals. We ordered: Drinks: Renato Ratti Italy Barbera La rioja Alta Tempranillo La Font de L'Olivier France Carignan Red Schnooner Malbec Dinner: Shroom pasta Spanish flatbread Charcuterie-Manchego cheese Chefs rotating seasonal cheese (goat) Prosciutto with honeycomb and salty olives. We ordered the charcuterie board first. Oh wow! The cheese with the honey comb tasted so good. Especially with the prosciutto. Next we got our dinner. Both the flatbread and pasta were great! I was not expecting my pasta to have some tomatoes. It wasn't bad but I thought it didn't need it. All my wines paired well with the meals. The night did not end there. Our server was so kind and attentive, she served me a birthday wine and dessert! Wow! So grateful and it was so good! What an awesome experience. My best friend and I had a great time and enjoyed our meals! I can't wait to come back. I definitely want my Mr. to try it. I know he will love 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!

1. Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chop This plate came out looking…read moreserious. The pork chops had that golden, crunchy sear that lets you know the chef didn't cheat the pan. The crust is seasoned well, giving each bite a savory crunch before you hit the juicy center. The sauce on the bottom adds flavor but also runs a little thin, so it doesn't cling as much as you'd expect. The mashed potatoes are smooth, and those crispy fried onions on top add the right texture. Solid, comforting, and flavorful -- just needed a thicker reduction to tighten the plate. 2. Gnocchi with Braised Short Rib Sauce This dish is exactly what comfort food wants to be when it grows up. The gnocchi is soft, pillowy, and coated in a rich, slow-simmered sauce that tastes like somebody took their time building layers. You get a blend of tomato, parmesan, herbs, and that short rib flavor that carries the whole bowl. It's heavy -- in a good way -- and every bite feels like fall weather in a bowl. Definitely one of the stronger dishes. 3. Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Green Beans & Tomato Relish The chicken is fried to that perfect "crisp but not greasy" level. The parmesan crust gives it a nutty, salty pop, while the tomato pieces add freshness to cut through the richness. The shredded parmesan on top melts just enough to tie everything together. The green beans are cooked right -- not soggy, still with a snap. The side dish (mac & cheese, most likely) is creamy with a buttery breadcrumb top that adds the right crunch. Overall, a well-balanced plate. 4. Spaghetti & Meatballs This is classic Italian comfort done the Cooper's Hawk way. The sauce is thick, tangy, and bright with tomato flavor. The meatballs are tender and seasoned well, and the touch of ricotta on top softens the acidity and makes the sauce creamy as you mix it in. The pasta is cooked right -- not mushy, not stiff, easy to twirl. Simple, hearty, and dependable. Overall Impression Cooper's Hawk came through with a table full of comfort and richness. Everything was plated well, seasoned properly, and cooked with intention. The standout dishes are the gnocchi and the parmesan-crusted chicken, but nothing on the table missed the mark.
