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.

They don't give anything out like numbers but a device that looks like you would get when you are on a wait list and the lights would go off. Well to my surprise they use it for your table location which they bought my fries out first and dropped them off at the table. The food came out shortly after that. Everything was good and surprisingly barramuñdi filet was delicious. Never had it before. The first with the aioli was good and the wife enjoyed the pizza. It doesn't have waitresses so you have to get your own refills. We definitely go back when I am at the mall.

Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)

They don't offer food inside, but there's a food truck right outside, so you're still taken care of. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun spot to hang out with friends or family. Totally worth the visit!

pleasantly surprised of our all over experience…read more... The food is simple bar food, and was pleasantly surprised on taste, quantity, price, & quality. We had French frys, and a cauliflower crust cheese pizza Frys were fresh and hot, and the pizza had good tasting sause with plenty of cheese. The club it self is very simple but clean. Staff was freindly and wait staff and others were very pleasant. We went on an amateur night and most comedians were pretty good even the not so good ones were funny in there own way. as humor is very subjective. Amateur night was only $5 each to get in and they have a 2 item minimum per person so we just ate to cover the minimum. The biggest issue I have with them is the auto gratuity of 20%. I always tip well (Usually 30% or better for good service, as tipping is an earn item not expected), but do not tip with an auto gratuity. As they are saying they do not expect more.

We visited on a rainy Friday night, when we got there it wasn't too busy, but by the time we left it was almost full. It's a pretty small space.

To say I was blown away was an understatement. The decor is super cool with flamingos everywhere, fun lights and colors that all bring that beachy and fun kinda Miami esc vibe. We shared a few different plates including the cuban (yum) so crispy and hot. The yucca fries were very fun and they had a great spicy mayo that was the best dip. The highlight of our experience was the grilled mac n cheese. We were a bit suspicious because how can you make mac n cheese Miami like or beachy. But we decided to try it. It was the best decision ever. It was cut into two thick pieces and grilled with. creme fraiche and some sort of green onion sauce on top. Literally wow, it was insanely good and so different but in the best way. Make sure to check out their house made hot sauce. It is the perfect bite of heat, not too spicy, and very flavorful but fresh. I definitely recommend with whatever you're ordering.

I'm glad I came here to experience this because of how high the ratings were but if I'm being honest, the flavors didn't hit the spot for me. Great decor and great vibe! The service was pretty fast.

Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times.
