When we walked in, a gentleman setting near the door immediately saw and said that Madonna's was only serving appetizers. He suggested to go across the street to another establishment.

Would loved to have experienced the food but were discouraged from even trying it.

Maybe the waitress was new, but she took forever to come and help us, our glasses stayed empty, and it took an extra 15 minutes just to get the check. Appetizer None Main Course - Crab cake and toast was a huge hit with my wife. Though she wasn't sure how to eat it and the egg wasn't runny as she wanted, she enjoyed it. - 9/10 - Steak and fries with chimichurri was quite delicious. The bourbon bbq sauce for the fries I highly recommend. Steak was a bit over cooked but tasty. - 8/10 Dessert - Brulé cheese cake was light and fantastic. The berries consisted of 4 blueberries. Would have been nice with a few strawberries or raspberries- 8/10

My team and I had the most amazing dinner at Nicholson's after a long day of work…read more We sat in the back room and were the only people back there, so it was nice and quiet and just what we needed. Our server, McKenna, took great care of us the whole evening. She was friendly, engaging, accommodating, and just did an overall great job. Pro tip, go during happy hour for great prices on appetizers and drinks. The appetizer pricing was so good we were able to order more than planned. We got the duck fat fries, brussels sprouts, and buffalo chicken. The duck fat fries came with a delicious garlic aïoli. The brussels sprouts were just perfect. And the buffalo chicken with some of the best I've had in a long time. I had never had cock-a-leekie before, so I tried that too. It was a nice, warm, comfort food. For our entrées, several of us got fish and shrimp. It was delicious and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce sauces were perfect. The highlighter of the evening for me was my mocktail. I noticed the drink menu had a cucumber elderberry drink, but I do not drink alcohol, so I ask if they would be willing to make something like it as a mocktail. It was genuinely one of the best mock tails I've ever had. It was so good. I asked if the bartender would mind sharing what she did so I could make some version of it at home. She happily obliged and wrote it down for me. Overall, a wonderful experience that will definitely have me recommending Nicholsons to friends and family!

We had a great time at Northside. It's was a small simple place, but the product they are selling…read moreis small batch and solid. At the very least you should stop in for a tasting if you're in the area. Our server was friendly, talkative and well versed in their product. He told me they distill in-house and most of their barrel aging takes place in a nearby family barn. (Could be wrong about this, but it sounds about right). Our tasting was of five different spirits for around $12. I sampled bottle pours of their Limited Release Braille Bourbon, Bourbon, Single Barrel Bourbon, 3 month old Oak Barrel aged Gin and a two year Añejo Tequila straight from a barrel in the back. He also poured a splash of their Vodka and included a taste of their American Agave Tequila. I thought the winner taste wise was the Añejo Tequila. I'm not much of a Tequila person, but I thought the flavors were outstanding. Their bourbons were smooth, simple (don't quote me but I think he said aged seven years) and around $65 a bottle. The gin was light and smooth. I would say most of what I tried would be good for cocktails, but they weren't bad at all served neat. We were the only ones in there for awhile on a Friday afternoon, but once work let out some thirsty folks came in. Check these guys out and support them if you can. Well worth the tasting and conversation! Thanks again guys!!

I went the last day (Saturday 6/14) near close (~6:45/7p). The two tastings I got were the rum (rum…read moredrinker for life!) which was rather good and sharp taste; and the agave which was very sweet and smooth! I got a Northside sunrise (tequila sunrise) which definitely hit the spot. I'll definitely hit this place up on weekends! Also, found out that they can't technically call it tequila because it wasn't distilled in Mexico! Never knew! One thing the I would recommend would be to reach out to Bar Crawl USA or other bar crawls that frequent downtown Cincinnati and add their place to the list! Also, they allowed my dog (service dog) in, which was perfect because at the time, there were a handful of people there...but if there were a lot, I think it would be a different story But overall, LOVED it!
