    Had a really good time here. Came here to watch game four of the Knicks game. The vibes were right. The drinks were delicious. The food was good and the bartenders were amazing. Me and a group of my friends sat at the bar, had drinks, ate, and watched the game. We really enjoyed ourselves (despite the Knicks losing). We won game 5!!!!!

    We were greeted when we walked in. It was clean for the most part. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned. The food was good as always.

    They have the most on tap beers around. I recommend this place mainly for the expanse beer options on tap. Their food is pretty standard American bar food. They have convenient at the table ordering and checking out. Good spot to check out before a game

    Came here for happy hour with a couple of friends and we almost ordered the whole happy hour menu. The food came out fast with the exception of the calamari and our server Tinky was great and attentive. I ordered the espresso martini and pink dragon margarita and I was highly satisfied with both. The espresso martini being my favorite! I also ordered the edamame, the carnivore pizza, and the calamari. Im not a big fan of mushrooms but tried the shiitake Noodles and I loved it. The mushrooms are big enough to pick out or push to the side and just eat the noodles which is what I did. Everything we had was great and I will definitely be back.

    My group of nine people ate here for lunch doing a break from visiting museums. We only had to wait a few minutes for the staff to set up tables to accommodate our large group. Our server was AMAZING! She was friendly, down to earth, talkative and served our large group without help from other staff. Our drink orders and food orders were all correct. There were no mistakes or changes at all. Like I said our server was amazing. For instance, our group had a 91 yr old lady, whom the server treated especially well. All of the dishes were presented well, the portion sizes were adequate-to-large and the flavors were delicious. No one in our party had any complaints or concerns at all. The atmosphere of this upscale sports bar/restaurant was inviting, the large TVs had closed captions (which I love at any public place) and the views of Cincinnati's bridges and waterfront were pleasing Overall, this restaurant and staff provided a great dining experience for our large family.

    I always love going to Yard House. They have a large variety of food and drink options, and the food never misses. We got the poke nachos as an appetizer. The tuna was fresh and the chips were thin with the perfect crisp. The flavors in my pork burger were great. The portion size of my husband's fish and chips were huge. It's a fun place for drinks and food or for just a date night.

    Yard House was amazing! We went on a Friday night and were told there was a wait but were seated within 5 minutes. Our server was awesome and knowledgeable about the menu. My boyfriend and I decided on the "half yard" drinks which were 32 oz. I got a fruity cider and he got a beer. They were both delicious. The menu was huge with a ton of options. We got the chicken nachos as an appetizer. It was a great portion and so delicious. Multiple sauces and toppings. We each got a burger with a side. I had the pepper jack burger with garlic parm fries. They were both incredible. My boyfriend had the bbq cheddar bacon burger with onion rings. Also both delicious. The atmosphere was so fun in there. There is a ton of seating. The restaurant and bathrooms are handicap accessible. Not sure about the parking as we walked. It was such a fun time and I'd love to go back!

    First time dining here. An office ordered lunch from here, so I picked it up. It was dead when I arrived but it quickly became busy. While I waited for my order, I could see a large group of people standing at the door waiting to be seated. It took forever for those people, which was surprising since the restaurant was dead. The food was okay. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. My food was very under cooked, so I couldn't say I was that impressed.

    Really enjoyed this place. The rice cake and the shrimp played well together... tacos were delicious and I love that you can mix them. The dip was creamy with a touch of spice... it wasn't too watery like most cheese dips and very good. The service is ok. Location and views are good!

    They have got to have the best happy hour in Cincinnati! Half off appetizers from 3-6! and they are still full sized you can't beat that! We were sat and our waitress was so kind. She ensured that we had everything that we needed while enjoying our girls day! I love there large tables making it perfect for big parties or those people that order the whole menu! Beautiful space and and great views of the river. They even have a heated patio for when it gets cold out.

    We went here before the reds game. We were from out of town and you can't have a bag at the game. I have long hair and it was HOT out. When we sat I was burning hot. I asked my server if she could possibly bring me a rubber band if they had any. The manager located me a hair tie and I was soooo thankful. We have many drinks they were perfectly made and our meals were fresh and wonderful. This place not only goes above and beyond for their customers nut the food and drinks is sooo delicious.

    Nice location with easy access underneath with the parking garage. I like the interior of the place and find the service to be decent. Food was tasty and we had a nice time. The only thing I could complain about it was how dark it was inside the place when we went.

    What time should I arrive prior to a Reds game on a weeknight?

    We usually get there around 5PM. Any later it gets crazy busy.

We tried: GRICIA- 10/10 for big flavor and very filling. While this pasta dish was my third fave of the four we tried, it was great. I took leftovers home to my husband and he loved it. FUNGHI- Definitely my second fave. I am a huge mushroom fan, so this was just the perfect dish for me. Aside from being delish, it was also a really comforting meal. Our waiter described it as "everything you wish Campbell's cream of mushroom soup was" and that was the perfect description, tbh LOBSTER- ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IVE EATEN IN CINCY. This dish is truly expertly crafted. The flavor is exquisite and the textures and colors all enhance the experience of eating it. SPICY VODKA- A really solid, more "normal" dish. I could see this one appealing to a lot of different people and palates. We started our meal with the homemade ricotta and I don't even have words for how delicious and perfect it is. Just order it. Made even better by the fact that it's served with Allez Bakery bread. We each got a mocktail as well. I got the pineapple punch and she got the blood orange mule. My mocktail was good, but I don't think I would pay $12 for it again. We sat at the bar and the bartender took great care of us and humored us while we got lots of content of our dishes. Oh, and can now confirm that four pasta dishes for two people is too much food, but all reheat well. I was pumped to have leftovers and to get to enjoy the flavors again the next day!

Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.

We were able to score bar seats without a reservation and had a nice time here. Parking - we ubered here, it looks like they had street parking but that might have been more tricky. We tried: Octopus - great, a tad salty Gambas - my husband enjoyed this Salmon - I especially liked the crunchy chickpeas Chenin Blanc Normandia White Blend Neon Lights (cocktail) - not my favorite Rosé - amazing, a great porch pounder.

Started with the packed-with-flavor tuna tartlet, and it just got better from there! The Cherry tomato salad was such a different/ unique approach. Petite, but mighty with flavor, and I especially loved the spicy kick finish left on my taste buds. As a mushroom lover, I was thankfully steered toward the chestnut anolini and I absolutely loved it. Hubby loved his snap peas-carrots-beets salad, and the bite I had (despite not loving a couple of those items) had me thinking I made a mistake. The almond cake dessert with almond rosettes was next level amazing. It's restaurants like this that make me less apt to throw around 5 star reviews elsewhere, because most places don't deserve it, but this one does. I'll be back here every time I'm in Cincy!

I was beyond impressed with the precise timing of being served, dishes being cleared, and drinks being poured. 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.

From the moment we arrived, the hostesses were warm and accommodating, and the service throughout the meal was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. As someone with gluten allergies, I felt genuinely cared for. The team listened closely and offered recommendations that never felt like a compromise on flavor or creativity. We began with a dirty chai latte, aromatic and comforting, though I personally would have enjoyed a touch more sweetness. The dirty French, customized gluten free, was rich, decadent and deeply satisfying. It felt indulgent in the best way and showcased the kitchen's ability to balance comfort with culinary intention. To go, we ordered the crunchy chicken nuggets, fries and lemon ricotta pancakes. The fries were outstanding, perfectly crisp and addictive. My husband loved the pancakes, light and flavorful with a bright citrus note. The gluten free nuggets were enjoyable, though they did not quite reach the level I expected compared to the rest of the menu. Overall, Sacred Beast offers a dining experience where hospitality and thoughtful cooking meet effortlessly.
