    Great bar
    Mark S.

    All great. Service. Food. Brews. Wings. Beer. Killed the wings. Had salad and burger too but no pics. Just dug in and they were great. Super West west side digs.

    Tots with bacon and cheese

    We use to frequent this place a lot more often when we lived in the west side. We decided to meet some friends there to watch the national championship game and enjoy some cold beer and food. It was our first time back in awhile and it appeared to have undergone some changes. For starters the service was awesome, they were very prompt and friendly and adjusted tvs around us to watch the game. The only negative was durning the game music was played a fair amount and it would be nice to hear the sportscast during big games as I felt most people were watching it throughout the bar. The food was good for the most part. The cheese logs are old faithful as they are our favorite appetizer, the tots were perfect, the nachos were good however all the middle chips underneath were crumbs like they were out of the bottom of the bag. We also didn't care for the boneless wings as they were more like chicken breast chunks rather than boneless wings so we would stick to traditional next time. Overall our experience with the new place was good but not what we remember. We would go here again when in the area but order a little differently next time.

    Loaded tater tots were the best thing I ate there. Wings were ok. I had asked for blue cheese and got ranch, which I didn't care for - tasted like it was straight from a bottle. Lol

    What an excellent stop on our trip to Cincinnati! We were in the area visiting friends, and upon landing (we are from NJ), this place was recommended. Our Air BnB was close to Wishbone, so we decided to stop here for a quick lunch and a cocktail. This is not a fancy stop, but definitely served its purpose - cold drinks, TVs with the games, bar food (lots of it fried), and really friendly service. Shout out to Carissa (or Karissa!) for helping us during our visit - she was extremely attentive and a genuine pleasure to have as a waitress. The table ordered the fried chicken sandwich, the BLT, and the grilled chicken sandwich. Both the BLT and the fried chicken sandwich looked amazing, and my party members agreed as such. The fries that came with the BLT, while not handcut, served their purpose for being salty, crispy, potato-y. My grilled chicken sando was ok - it was a bit bland, but to be honest, it was my fault for ordering it. I didn't want anything fried - so just keep that in mind if you are coming here. I would have definitely preferred the BLT or the fried chicken. However, I asked for the crispy brussels on the side and they were excellent - better than the sandwich, actually! I believe there was a loaded crispy brussels app that I would absolutely try the next time I am in the area. For sure, a place to revisit when I am once again in the area!

    Blue cheese burger . Caramelized onions and blue cheese were very good. Love the pretzel bun option.

    This great place was hidden away in shopping center. Looking for lunch place after football camp at MSJ. Plenty of seating - regular tables and chairs, high tables around the bar area. Lots of big screen TVs with various sporting events on. Immediately greeted by a great waitress. Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. They have great selection of beer on tap. The appetizers were amazing! Recommend the Brussel sprouts. Looking for laid back great place to have a beer and bite. This is the place. Everything was excellent. Must stop when visiting MSJ!

It doesn't have waitresses so you have to get your own refills. We definitely go back when I am at the mall.

What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

Everyone was incredibly kind and balanced small talk with fun details about the various dishes and the restaurant itself. It's worth mentioning that many, if not all, of the greens and flowers come from Chef Blackman's own backyard. We learned that literally everything is made in house, minus the bread, which comes from a shop right across the street. In my humble opinion, the chef's table experience is second to none in Cincinnati. It obviously comes with a premium, but I would choose Wildweed over a Jeff Ruby's any night of the week.

We are greeted upon a friendly worker, and our server was also friendly. The menu is very limited... That is the only reason I'm taking off a point. They had less than 10 options for food, which I was disappointed in because I often like a little more variety, especially when the menu doesn't really have the same common thing. Like there were just a bunch of random options. I got the I don't goetta chopped cheese, which was really good and I also tried a chicken tender, which was pretty good even though it was in the shape of a very small nugget not as a tender as advertised. They didn't even have the piña colada's even though it was on the menu. But maybe it was a blessing in disguise because I got some sort of blended coffee drink with Bailey's instead, which was delicious! Super cute place and I loved the vibe I would come again maybe on a fall night to be able to enjoy outside because we were originally placed outside, but then it started to pour! I'm not gonna be racing back here anytime soon, but I'm glad I tried it.
