It has been years since I was hear last, and I really forgot how good this place is. I was in the area and went to dinner with a friend. I ordered the beef (I don't recall the name) basically beef stew and had it done over mashed potatoes. To say that it was good would be the understatement of the year. This was some of the best I have ever had. My friend order the halibut and I even heard him moan while eating. This was new for him or at least I never heard it before. I ordered the banana cream pie which was fabulous, and I normally don't order this. My friend got the carrot cake, which I am pretty sure I heard him moan again. I can't wait to come back and try other items. Also a Monday at 5:45 and the place was packed. We had to sit at the bar. I am not sure if this was normal or not but keep this in mind. The food is worth the wait though. read more

Went to Trios for Christmas Eve. We were disappointed in the service and the food The prime rib was cold, we went back a sangria and was still charged for it even though they took it away. Had to ask for bread and refills several times. We have been there numerous times and it was not what we expect from them. The server acted like we were not her priority as we noticed she gave better service to another table. read more

Fantastic service! Truly great service. The menu is classic American style food. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The prices are very moderate. Classic charm serving hot bread with butter Oh, and both our lunch entrees (tuna sandwich and soup, chicken salad sandwich and fries)were very good. read more

Trio Bistro - Tuna salad and fries - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Wonderful holiday lunch at Trio's. Server, Katelyn was so pleasant and helpful. Soups and salads were perfect options and delicious.

Oh Trio! We must part ways. The last two visits were very underwhelming. This last one was a deal-breaker. First, we are a couple in our 50's and still very much working. So we appreciate snappy service during the lunch hour (we were there at 2pm on a Friday). This was anything but. We waited for the server to get our drink order, even longer for her to come take our food order, and the longest to bring us our check. We overheard that she had been there for 18 years, so maybe she's just used to serving the older clientele who can take a 2 hour lunch. The deviled eggs were VERY mustard forward, so do not order if you don't like mustard. The blackened grouper sandwich had a very small log of grouper that didn't even cover the bun (see photo) and it was $19.00! Everything we ordered needed salt. So yes, this place caters to the retired crowd for sure. Please salt the food for those of us who don't have high blood pressure! read more

I recently ate here on a business trip. The food was very good and the staff was really nice. While I only ate here once, the lemon chicken I ate was very tasty. The staff had my cup always filled with club soda, and the menu had great options. If I'm ever in town again I'd definitely return. read more

Always good food, always good drinks always a very expensive bill at the end. They're batting below their price point by a little bit but for every once in a while it's OK to go there. read more

Good for a quick lunch. Nice selection of menu items and great service. Parking can be difficult during busy hours

Ate here with wife for my birthday lunch today for the first time in several years. It was a beautiful experience. I started with a chopped salad and a bowl of gazpacho soup. OMG--their gazpacho soup is the best I have ever had. It is only on the menu during the warmer months. The chopped salad was as perfect as a salad could be. For a main course I chose the tuna salad sandwich on 16 Bricks bread. Plus a side order of haricot verts. We had some bread also. Had to take part of the sandwich and green beans home. The server Bradley offered me a complimentary dessert for my birthday which was a nice gesture. I chose the strawberry shortcake which we both really enjoyed. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. This place has a great ambiance and is quiet enough to have some good conversation with friends. It's upscale with reasonable prices and one of Cincinnati's gems. We will be returning soon read more

We got sat in the back room at this restaurant which I really enjoyed! We had a nice window seat and it was quiet compared to the rest of the place which seemed dark and crowded. The pomegranate cosmo was very different and I really enjoyed it. We got the shrimp bruschetta as an appetizer and it was so good! I would get it for a meal if I returned! I asked the waitress if I should get the chicken or the shrimp pasta, and I wish I had gotten the shrimp pasta. The chicken was just dry and didn't have a lot of flavor or spice on the actual chicken. The Brussels were great, but I don't think they were worth $9. We were there at 9:10 and got hovered over some because they closed at 9 and seemed anxious to leave. Overall it was a very nice place, but a little expensive for the overall taste of the food. read more

Trio just never disappoints. You get what you pay for here, and that's right on the money. The food is outstanding, the service is outstanding (great staff! Our server, Pavel, was as good as Trio), and the ambience is super relaxing and classy. It's a great place to eat a great meal. Seared scallops over trofie pasta with pesto and candied lemon, a Kenwood (Bibb, Spinach, and so on - tasty and fresh all the way), and vanilla bean crème brûlée to finish. Not inexpensive sure, but I walked out feeling like I'd had a damn good meal. read more

We came with a big group and requested the round table in the back. It was perfect for us. The server gave us enough time to chat and also told us about the specials. Everyone got something different - I got the salmon, one friend got the burger and the other got the chicken. Both thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We even got dessert - the chocolate roll - yum!! The special cheesecake was really rich, creamy and good! -- and a vanilla ice cream. One person had an issue with her meal - she had said she was allergic to a seasoning and they served her flatbread with the seasoning on it. The manager did come and apologize and brought her a new one only it was not completely cooked. They wanted to bring her a different dinner and instead she got a dessert. They comped her a dessert. The server even gave us separate checks at the end of our meal. read more

I did take out for the bbq pizza while I was in the area. I would give it a good not great. I remembered it tasting differently, this sauce was a little sweet. Still definitely a solid choice. I got with no onion or cilantro. It had been over a year since I went. I did curbside pickup and the team was great! read more

Trio Bistro - BBQ chicken pizza - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My wife and I stopped for dinner after shopping. Menu is seasonal with some items that stay the same. Pricing is higher than average but worth it. They serve fresh bread with clove butter and have very attentive servers. I ordered the rigatoni dish with chicken and it was nice and spicy!! Cons: restaurant was loud. I think it was a Thursday night and it was packed!! I felt like I was shouting. Their clientele is definitely upper middle class so I felt a little out of sorts. Parking is right out front and there was no wait. Bathrooms are two stalls and very clean. I would highly recommend this place and will re-visiting soon!! read more

Trio is a fine restaurant with exceptional service tucked away near Kenwood mall. While it's obvious from the outside that this is a "nice" restaurant from the outside I was taken by surprise when we walked in the ambiance was better than expected. Food was top notch as well and the quality to cost ratio was quite favorable. read more

First time trying this place out as people have told me before to hit it up. We started out with shrimp bruschetta and that really stood out. Wedge salad was bland. Meatloaf and French onion soup were on point. Service was excellent at the bar. Definitely will come back to try other items read more

I got the special tonight and it was delicious. I was served the soft shell crab special (crab you can eat with the shell) and it was served with cheesy grits and a very acidic lemony sauce. Everything was delicious and I would recommend. I also got a wedge salad and they have great blue cheese crumbles and an extra large amount of bacon. Our server was great as expected filling my water glass every time it was empty, probably 4-5 times. We got a nice table in the back where the ambiance was amazing. read more

We went for brunch on a Sunday. The brunch menu was good, and a regular menu was also available. The Eggs Benedict were nicely done on what appeared to be an artisan English muffin. The breakfast potatoes were chunky, crispy, and well seasoned. Our waitress, Sandy, was really exceptional. We were well attended, but not smothered. The facility was elegantly decorated. Our only issue was with a large table next to our booth that had a large party of rowdy ladies, so no fault of the restaurant. I would definitely go back to try their other menus. read more

Christmas Eve dinner with the family. Place was very busy. It was really loud but not the restaurant's fault the table behind us was exceptionally loud and obnoxious as if they thought they were the only ones there. Everyone's food was good. I had the fillet and fries for $48. Fillet was pretty small but cooked perfectly. Fries were hot from a heat lamp and not the freshest. I should have asked for new ones but with the restaurant being so busy we'd been there a while and I was pretty hungry. Everyone in the family had been there before. I have no need to go back. read more

Total disappointment. Truly devastated that this place has just changed so much. Whenever I'm in town I crave the Cobb salad that has been a mainstay of me and many friends I know. It's half the size of what it used to be. The old salads used to be generous with all the veggies chopped up. My girlfriends ordered salmon salad. Same deal. So small - but they charge the same price! Anyway won't be coming back. End of an era .... read more

I am a weekly regular. The service and food is consistently good. I love the chicken cobb salad, the beets and goat cheese salad and the trio burger. Be sure to order the French onion soup or gazpacho in season. read more

Have not been there in the last little bit but this is a no brained. It is always a good food and amazing service place to go. It is a bit pricier but worth every penny. The bar has a nice happy hour with great bartenders and they always have great specials as well. Been going there for 30 plus years and they still don't miss a step. read more

Great birthday dinner with friends at Trio Bistro. Had a booth for 6 of us, so it was "cozy" but that's ok, we were all friends. Although it was a Sunday evening I guess we were having "too much" fun as the table behind us constantly turned and peered over the booth to our table with an awkward glare. I don't think we were outrageous, just the occasional laugh of lively conversation. Maybe Sunday eve is better left for the quiet subdued crowd, but oh well, the food was good. Service was very attentive and provided timely refills on drinks, and clearing of plates. Bread to the table quickly along with soups and salads of first course. (We split a wedge, which was nicely done) Entrees were prepared well and everyone enjoyed their food. From burgers, to flatbread pizza, to chicken and veal, all were tasty and filling. We didn't have dessert so can't comment on those. Outside of the feeling of 'being in 'their' restaurant and being too loud" the atmosphere was nice, food was good, and service attentive. Maybe a different night would have had us fitting in better... read more

Cozy place for dinners, the server was attentive and the seafood and steak were great especially the chilean sea bass which was cooked perfectly. Nice wine selections as well. The only unfortunate thing happened was when I asked for a hot sauce the server handed me this bottle and not fully warning me the level of hotness. I almost choked and burned my throat! The bottle has an extreme warning of hotness! Server was nice that I didn't mention anything which I should have. read more

We met up for a friends dinner a few nights ago. Again, we requested Aidan and again, he had great suggestions. He even had great wine knowledge for a friend of mine, I'm not a wine consumer so I never heard him with all the knowledge he had. Awesome food and dessert, I had the best time! read more

What has happened to Trio? For decades it's been my go-to place for excellent food. But lately? The servers famously don't write orders down and on three out of my four recent visits, each order was wrong. The lack of communication between servers and the kitchen is non existent. It's such a disappointment that even one of the area's best restaurants now can't be bothered to deliver the order correctly. They may be apologetic, but once a dining experience is ruined, nothing can make it right. read more

I hadn't ever been to trip, but always heard great things! We went around 8pm- got sat immediately! Our service was quick and polite. For dessert I ordered creme brûlée at the last minute. It was delicious- perfect consistency, and topped with 3 berries. Would absolutely recommend it! read more

I dined here a few years ago and was reluctant to return. Some friends convinced me to give Trio and second chance. I was delightfully surprised. While the crab cakes had mostly filling, the filet mignon was divine and the wine selection was decent. The show stopper was the rich chocolate flourless cake; so rich that it was plenty for 4 people were satisfied after splitting it. Great place for dinner especially if you want to splurge and/or celebrate. read more

Wish we had more local restaurants like this! Great food, service, ambiance. Highly recommend!

Reasonable noise level and no tvs. Creative menu selection, wine list and desert menu. Can get expensive. Main menu has appetizers large enough to share, salads, pizza, soups, small entree and large entrees. I've never had a bad meal here. Lighting is low and hard for vision impaired to read menu. Great wait staff. Clean. Can accommodate small to medium numbers of people. Call to see how many in a large group they can accommodate. read more

A classy joint with great food. Didn't have a reservation so we ended up sitting in the bar area. Family loved the food.

Not going back---Nov 16 sat nite 6:30 reservations with many previous visits. Treating a couple so anticipating a quiet dinner w good food etc Placed in backroom w noisy families and lots of movement and commotion, Ambiance -none- service polite and spotty--waitress w many tables. A 17.00$ shrimp cocktail served on a small saucer. Didn't ask guest about his steak too embarrassed. Used to think Trios abit upscale----so wrong. read more

I hadn't visited Trio in the last 5-10 years, but we decided to stop there as we left Kenwood Town Center recently. I had fond memories of the food and atmosphere there, so we both looked forward to a great experience. Boy, were we disappointed! We felt the prices were very high. However, we are ok with paying a little more for quality food and service. Unfortunately the food was mediocre at best, and downright bad in some respects. I opted for the two mini burgers and a wedge salad as my meal. The burgers were very good and, although priced pretty high, a decent value. My wedge salad just fell flat. The lettuce didn't strike me as particularly fresh, I didn't like the dressing, which had very little flavor, and the cherry tomatoes were not at their ripe best. It was certainly edible, but rather mediocre. My wife got the margherita flatbread pizza, and it was terrible. The first one they brought us was burned to a crisp. Literally any of the crust you could see was totally black. We sent it back without even tasting it. Their second try took much too long to arrive and it had wayyyyyy too much garlic -- to the point that it burned our mouths. Within seconds the middle was soggy and wouldn't hold ingredients. And the tomatoes were just sloppily plopped on top of the pizza. We were very disappointed in our experience at Trio and probably will not return. Oh well, lesson learned. read more
