Please read before having an event here- I I hosted my…read morenieces bridal shower here. When I looked at the place, I loved the "bougie" feel and knew she would too. I was told that with the decor package, they would take care of everything. I simply needed to tell them what colors I wanted for the theme. The package included the following- Themed plates, cups, napkins, and silverware (20 people) * Themed banner * Balloon garland * Table centerpieces * Cupcakes (for up to 15) * Fresh flowers on tables * Outdoor custom welcome sign * LED sign On the day of the shower, I arrived early to set up the food and drinks. In the rush of getting this done and guests arriving, I didn't realize things were missing. I did ask the employee about the cupcakes. She made a phone call and came back and said they hadn't ordered them. Nothing I could do about it then. She did say they would credit me something for it. Towards the end of the shower, I began thinking that other stuff was missing. It wasn't until I got home that I looked up the package details and realized I was missing many items - outdoor custom welcome sign - fresh flowers - led sign - cupcakes - glasses ( I did have paper plates, napkins and silverware) This is what I got - a balloon arch, paper plates, plastic silverware, vases with coffee beans and candles that didn't get lit, and a themed banner. Also, when you reserve the room it is for a private event. Customers who want to go to the coffee shop are to enter the coffee shop door. There was a couple and their child that walked through our "private" event 4 times with the employee allowing this and even one time walking them through. I feel that the employee should have informed them the first time to use the other entrance explaining a private event was going on. I reached out to the owner to discuss the missing items. I feel that she was defensive from the beginning. She said that the cupcakes are only for a child's birthday. I told her that there is no mention of that on their website. I told her that I picked her place and the decoration package because I knew my nieces would like all the added touches. Her response was that the missing things aren't important but it's that my nieces and guests enjoyed the shower and she was sure they did. I told her that if she knew all the things missing, she'd be disappointed that she didn't have them. I was also the one paying the bill and I wanted all the items I paid for to be there. I asked for a full credit of the decorations package since more than half the items weren't there. She refused because they had to take time to order the balloon arch and plates. She said she would give me a credit if what she feels is fair. I have yet to get any credit from her. That is why I am sharing my experience. If I were you I'd think twice before renting their "private " room. And if you do, definitely decorate it yourself.

Honestly, It was my first time in Ohio and I didn't expect the city to be so ALIVE! wow! We wanted…read moreto try a new coffee shop (we all know sometimes it can be nerve wrecking) but WOW I was not disappointed. It truly was rich, and I tasted the banana, and matcha, and it was super creamy! And the member who helped us out was SO KIND!! Seriously was super welcoming, and 24oz matchas?! UGH miss it already! Thank you so much for being so welcoming!

This is a very nice garden for not only the little ones, but the kids. It is actually a garden…read morewithin a larger garden. It is in Glenwood Gardens and covers 12 acres. They have a ton of parking and admission is $5.25 in season and $2.75 during winter months. However, since it is in a another garden then you will have to pay that admission too. I think it is $3. No one was at the gate when I came there, so I did not have to pay it. This garden is well maintained and has lots to see. There is a prairie and nicely paved trails. The highlight of the place is the storybook looking area called Discovery Garden. It has Trolley Garden, a spot were small trains run along the tracks. They had a haunted train and a Thomas train among others, running the tracks. The center piece of the area is the tree house called the Discovery Tree. My small one found it a bit creepy. The house is very nice and in the form of a face. You will find creature (not real ones) in there like an owl, bats, and an opossum. If you look closely, you can see gold fish and tadpoles in the water running past the tree house. My littles also liked the Garden Workshop, which is right next to the tree house. They have a few small animals in there like a turtle, a tarantula, a snake, and cockroaches. Outside of the workshop you can make it rain and pump water into buckets where you can then use it to water nearby plants. The staff that works there is very friendly. Off to the corner of the area is a small pastel colored house that kids can go in and have little tea parties. There is a large wizards hat that kids can play in and a small outdoor amphitheater/storybook area. There is also a misting tunnel shaped like a caterpillar that leads to the butterfly garden. The ground is very slippery through the tunnel because of the mist, so if you do use it, please be careful. Of course the garden has a gifts shop. That is where you pay for admission. They have a small play area in there with a toy train set up and an interactive machine as well. If you get hungry, don't worry, they have a small cafe. I can't speak much about it though because I did not check it out. This was a nice spot for me and my littles. They had lots of fun in the tree house and watching the trains. We spent about 2 hours there. This place is very picturesque and as calming as a place that kids run around can be.

You don't even have to bring children along if you don't have any. Young and old alike will never forget this wondrous place. There are seven smaller gardens to explore: -Frog & Toads Garden: Look closely among the lily pads and you'll see they are surrounded by frogs. -Wizard's Garden: Pass the purple hat, don't wake the dragon and take the bouncy bridge to the fairy garden.Just the metal sculpture of the dragon itself is worth it. They have purple lights for its eyes, too. -Trolley Garden: Four, small scale trains run on tracks surrounding some of your favorite storybook characters. Of course, there is Thomas the Tank Engine who was always a favorite of my son when he was younger. -Vegetable Garden: Raised beds will put you at eye level with common and not-so-common vegetables. -Grandma's Scent Garden: You'll be surrounded by smelly plants for your pretend tea party here. There's a plant there that smells like popcorn!! -Morph Garden: The caterpillars in this garden are huge! -Butterfly Garden: This garden is shaped like its favorite resident.

A working farm and store, open to public tours and events…read more We attended a wedding reception at Gorman Heritage Farm just north of Cincinnati, and we loved the farm! There are animals to visit and a small store with eggs, honey, produce, pasture-raised chicken, other local foods, fresh-cut flowers, and various books, clothing, and merchandise. For our event, they put up a huge tent, so we had breezy shaded dining. This was next to another covered structure, for a breezy shaded dance-floor. And there was a food-truck bar as well. In all, a clever use of their space for a fun comfortable event. We had access to their farm for self-tours, and i think there were guided tours and feedings, too, but we walked ourselves among and petted and brushed and fed the humped mini "zebu" steer, non-wooly Katahdin sheep, goats, mini horses, a mini donkey, mules, about six of rabbits of different kinds, and chickens. And beehives! We were there for a special event. The Gorman Heritage Farm is open to the public Mon-Sat for under $8 per person. Come see fun farm animals and products!

Great ice-cold beers, pizza, more. Playground! Indoor and outdoor seating…read more We were in town for a wedding, and we ate at MadTree Parks & Rec several times (May 2026). Our host was able to make reservations for seating areas for large numbers of people, so once we had two areas of a dozen or more, and a couple other times we had one area of that size. This flexibility was a big plus because we could only guess at how many would make it each time. We had ice-cold beers of every description, including IPAs, hazys, and other local crafts. I can't name them all, and some drafts aren on the printed menu, bu5 8 kniw we had Psychopathy, a flavorful IPA, and Seeing Colors Tropical IPA, with a sweeter / hazy profile. Dont miss their cocktails! We loved the S'More Espresso Martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, coffee tiqueur, and espresso :-) So much yum! And we ordered various pizzas. Our favorite was the Scenic Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, black olives) and the Vista Veggie (about the same without the meats). I also saw friends devouring Caprese Canyon (olive oil, minced garlic, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, roma tomatoes, balsamic drizzle). And of course regular pepperoni. Tasty crust, tasty red sauce, (you could get white sauce), generous toppings. We got the large sizes, which were enough for at least four people per pie. Sandwich-wise, the most popular was the Cuban Reuben: marble rye, corned beef, ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It's the added ham and pickles that move it toward a Cuban sandwich. Well-stacked, hot, and flavorful. For local flavor, the Goetta sandwich: that flavorful Cincinnati oat-pork hash, with candied bacon, american cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and ranch. Here and there we shared Buffalo fried-Cauliflower with celery and ranch on the side. This was. Not as spicy as it could be. But if you're going to eat cauliflower, this is tasty approach. We like the tangy Fried Pickle Spears better, served with lightly-spicy chipotle ranch. And we added some fresh crunchy Caesar salads, too, and and amazing pecan, apple, blue cheese, cranberry salad! So many candied pecans! Somehow, the servers kept up with an erratic flow of orders from different groups, keeping track on portable devices, so it was easy for each group to settle their own bill as-needed. It may not sound like much, but it was impressively smooth and error-free. And the staff remained helpful,and cheerful throughout. They built a large playgroup area with slides and climbers and more. Inside there's a large play camper that we spent a lot of time in, too! This is a great place for fresh-air dining, for large groups, and especially for kids. We lived the food and drink. Lots of wonderful leftovers, especially those huge pizzas!

We had workspace, ability to present on screens but also spread out, snacks can catered meals, even access to an outdoor deck to soak up the sun. The staff was super friendly, and there's even a slide to get downstairs faster. It reminded me of a mini version of how I felt when I visited the Googleplex! I would recommend this to folks who want to get off site for a collaborative team workspace. It's not the typical cubicle office, so you get to embrace the creative feel they provide. Love how they modernized these old buildings to create something functional.
