It was super busy and nearly every table was full and people were waiting outside. Service was friendly and our drink orders were taken within a few minutes. We ordered 3 appetizers: yuca fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, guacamole and chips. My fave of the 3 was probably the guacamole: chunky and flavorful. I also liked the green sauces that came with the Brussels and yuca fries. The yuca fries were large, like steak fries. They come on a smallish plate and probably best for 2-3 people to share. Same for the Brussels sprouts. The guac and chips were on a large plate and there was a generous amount of guac (larger portion than the other sauces). Plenty of chips to share among our table. There were 2 fish fry orders from our table and no complaints. Little Mister thought it was "great" and he ate the entire thing except for the coleslaw, of which he is not a fan anyway. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I really liked the generous serving of chicken and it was perfectly cooked and tender. The dressing was tasty and the croutons were crunchy. The lettuce was shredded more than chopped which is fine. Overall it was a decent Caesar. I like having a Caesar option at pub. The Brussels sprouts were decent also. Somewhat crispy though not as crispy as hubs would have liked. I usually order crispy Brussels whenever possible when we go out and I'd give these a mid to high 4 of 5 stars. The sauce was delicious. Our plates were cleared a couple of times during our meal even though every server was super busy and we did have plenty of water. Parking is sometimes available on the street directly in front of the pub but there is also parking a short walk as well. There's dessert next door as well as at UDF for a short walk. Fun area with a lot going on and I like that there are outdoor patio seating options as well. I would definitely come back here. Mid 4 stars, happily rounded up to 5.

Food: you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Every single dish was delicious. The highlights for me were probably the truffle spaghetti and focaccia!

It's dimly lit with exposed brick walls, and tables that sit really close to each other. It definitely gives a romantic vibe. Next, the service was great. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and helpful. We're a curious group and he was happy to answer all of the questions we had about the menu. Now on to the food... We started our meal off by sharing the focaccia with roasted tomato, basil, and parmesan, as well as the burrata, which the menu described as being prepared seasonally. I honestly wasn't a big fan of either of them. That said, the next thing I got was the kale caesar, which was fantastic. It's a big portion and they offered to split it into two so my coworker and I could both enjoy it. Aside from your typical croutons and parm, it also had celery and roasted tomatoes. The roasted tomatoes were a fabulous addition. For my entree I went with the truffle pasta with shrimp. I expected a little more from this dish if I'm being honest. It was extremely oily and the sauce was really loose. That said, it was very rich and full of truffle flavor. I ended up getting sick in the middle of the night and I'm pretty sure this was the culprit. We ended the meal with their famous butter cake with a scoop of gelato on top. It only took one bite to realize why this dessert is so well loved. While we were all really full, we couldn't stop eating it. It literally melted in your mouth! Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but if I were to visit again I would order differently. The options for a vegetarian who sometimes eats seafood were limited, but I have my eye on that kale salad and butter cake.

A Little Piece of Bavaria Hidden in Cincinnati (and Yes...Even a German King Approves.)…read more As the 98 th King of Cincinnati Kolping Schützenfest, I recently joined a dozenn fellow Kings to welcome our newest member, King Ralph, at Kantine Biergarten Eatery. Understand something: You don't invite a room full of German Kings to a German restaurant unless you're either extremely confident...or completely out of your mind.. Germans can be wonderfullly warm people. We can also become unpaid food critics the moment someone says, "authentic German cooking." Thankfully, Peter had absolutely nothing to worry about. From the first bite it became obvious this wasn't "German-inspired." This was German. The seasoning isn't loud or gimmicky. It's what German cooking should be: layered, balanced, savory, comforting, and tasting like someone has been perfecting these recipes since before Cincinnati had streetcars. Every spice knows its job. Nothing screams. Everything sings. Our group ordered nearly everything on the menu: Schnitzel Wiener Art, Kässspatzen, Bratwurst, Currywurst, Leberkäsee, pretzels, potato salad, red cabbage, desserts. If it had a German name Americans struggle to pronounce, somebody ordered it. The remarkable part? Nobody said, "Mine was okay." Instead it was, "You've got to try this!"..."No, YOU have to try THIS!"..."Wait...who ordered THAT?" For a table full of Germans who are admittedly a bit snooty about German food, that's about as close to a standing ovation as you'll ever get. Peter is one of the great pleasures of visiting. His accent is still gloriously German, thick enough that within thirty seconds you're convinced your passport should be stamped before dessert, but his English is excellent, and his enthusiasm for food, beer, and hospitality is contagious...I'm still recovering from the joyful experience. Then there's Donna. She somehow manages to be hostesss, bartender, server, diplomat, and air traffic controller depending on what the room needs. She has a timeless elegance that reminds you how genuine hospitality used to be. Friendly, quick with a smile, completely unflappable, and somehow making controlled chaos look effortless. The entire staff deserves recognition. Everyone was upbeat, genuinely happy, and seemed to enjoy working there. That kind of atmosphere can't be faked. The beer selection deserves special mention. Traditional German imports share tap space with outstanding local German-style brews, including Hofbräuhaus Newport favorites. Whether you're craving a Helles, Märzen, Dunkel, Pilsner, or Weissbier, there's something for you. Do yourself a favor and order one of the giant German beer mugs. Life is simply better when you're drinking from something that could double as emergency home-defense equipment. The setting is exactly what it should be. This isn't polished, corporate, Instagram-engineered authenticity. It's relaxed. It's comfortable. It's Cincinnati. It's Bavaria. More than half the seating is outdoors, conversations linger, strangers become table mates, and nobody seems interested in rushing you out the door. One tiny suggestion, and I truly mean tiny. The century-old building has wonderful character, but it occasionally carries a faint musty aroma. Peter, invest in an OdorStop commercial ozone generator for occasional after-hours use. It's an inexpensive fix that would make an already outstanding experience even better. But that's like criticizing the Mona Lisa because the frame needs dusting. If you want white tablecloths and waiters whispering French words they don't understand, go somewhere else. If you want authentic German food prepared by an actual German who refuses to compromise, outstanding beer, wonderful people, fair prices, true Gemütlichkeit, and one of Cincinnati's best hidden gems, go to Kantine. You'll leave full. You'll leave happy. And if you're anything like our group of German Kings, you'll already be planning your next visit before you've backed out of the parking lot. Prost, Peter and Donna. You promised us Germany. You delivered Bavaria. Did i mention that this place is literally hidden away from any and all drive by and walking traffic. It is a s secret spot in old-Cincinnati.

I'm sure there have been many changes in chefs/cooks over the past decade, but these staples: bowl of chili and sweet potato fries were just lacking. Both have been on the menu since I used to go there long ago. The chili was watery- almost like a tomato soup with a bit of beef. Toppings were nice: sour cream, onions, cheddar cheese. The sweat potato fries were overdone and a smaller portion for the price, but I understand the cost issues restaurants face today, so I had no problem with the price. The side pineapple sauce tasted just like it did years ago, so I was happy with that consistency. I'm hoping this was just an off day for the kitchen staff. The host and wait staff were exceptional.

She explained all we needed to know about the nightly specials. She knew the menu well. There were also lovely food runners and other staff that kept our night going smoothly. This is what we had for dinner and our thoughts: Mussels - The PEI mussels were so plump and cooked perfectly. We sopped up all the broth we could with the charred bread pieces. I wanted to pick up the bowl and drink the rest. We order mussels at most places that offer them, and these were the best we have had in Cincinnati. Croquetas - These were interesting. The flavors were good, but we thought the consistency was a little pasty. It was like all the ingredients were blended up together in a, well, paste. Pasta Duo - We chose the Wild Mushroom in vodka sauce, and the Gnocchi Bolognese. We thought the vodka sauce overwhelmed the mushroom in the ravioli and that maybe a lighter sauce would complement the mushroom filling better. However, the sauce was excellent. The gnocchi were pillowy and tasty with the sauce, but there was not much beef in the bolognese. Although these weren't the favorites of the night, they were still very good. Skirt Steak with Chimichurri - OMG! I don't usually order steak out, but serving skirt is rare and it is one of my favorite cuts. It was so tender with a fabulous grill flavor and the most delicious chimichurri. Except for about four bites my wife enjoyed, I ate the whole 10oz steak!! It is pricy, but I would gladly spend the money for this excellent preparation again. The potatoes were roasted and seasoned well, but I wish there were more than five pieces of asparagus for the price. Chocolate Caramel Tiramisu - Very light and chocolatey. Yum! We will be back over and over for the mussels and skirt steak.
