    We love yard house. Food is always smackin and vibes are always good. It wasn't too busy when we went.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    First time trying this spot after the old Salazar closed - used to be one of my favorite places…read more Overall had a great experience, most of the food was fantastic. Loved seeing some menu throwbacks to the previous restaurant. The rigatoni, beets, bread service, squash & fish were all delicious. We only had two sour notes all night - celebrating a birthday (directly told our server when she asked), and no birthday dessert was offered. Normally wouldn't expect that, but TWO tables next to us got a cake slice with a candle. It felt a bit rude to have our special night missed when others were acknowledged. Our table ended up ordering the chocolate cremeux which had the worst, over-smoked ice cream flavor any of us ever experienced -- mother of god. Not sure why that exists.

    Have been here four times and certainly feel comfortable with this rating. While ambiance and food…read moreare top rated, my experience fell flat when leadership failed to deliver. Walking in a bit awkward. One door is locked and the other is open. One has to guess correctly. The entrance is a little cramped. Goto the left for the bar or the right for the dining room. I've always enjoyed the open kitchen; the focus, hustle, and discipline is admirable and fun to watch. Decor is modern. Feels upscale. One can make this a casual date or dress it up for a bigger night out. All of our wait staff have been polite and are good at timing visits. The food offered here and all of Salazar's restaurants is excellent. Most recently, we enjoyed the lobster rolls, fried oysters sandwich, fries, steak, and scallops. Two desserts were taken to go. Each dish, no matter how advanced or simple, presented with elegance, perfect spice and texture, and spot on internal temps. Certainly it's the excellent cooking that justifies the $300 check that chased this outstanding experience. Everything I've mentioned is positive. Where do the two stars come from? Well in our last visit, we took dessert to go. We utilized valet that Salazars/Mitas contracts. It took forty minutes for our car to get to us. Forty. Minutes. We got ice cream as a part of a dessert to go. While one could argue we are taking a risk, and I agree, we actually had a cooler in the back of the car that was ice cold from earlier in the day. Thusly we felt we were taking a calculated risk. We get our car, see the ice cream is melted, and I go back. I explain the situation to the hostesses. The GM shows up and I provide a gentle explanation. Following this I say I'd like to the replace the included ice cream but end up ordering a couple other flavors. I get cashed out - no apology for the under performing valet, no offer to cover the melted scoop, just take my money and move forward. I understand that nothing is owed to me. I understand that restaurants aren't successful by giving out hand outs. My frustration comes with the lack of recognition of arguably restaurant error, the fact that loyalty means nothing, and that spending nearly $300 (or how much four visits cost in less than a year), including a kitchen tip, wasnt enough.

Jenna was our server and while she may be newer to this restaurant, she was a pro! She had great drink and food recommendations. Our meal was very much a "girl dinner". Cocktails from the Elderflower Gimlet, Love Getting Out There, champagne, and wine of course. Then instead of full meals we ordered a variety for everyone to share. For the table we had the Slow Roasted Meatballs, Broiled Artichoke, Burrata, and Frommage Fries. Everything was amazing! I wish we weren't too full to order more. Next time I have to try the Gnocchi Stroganoff! Instead of dessert we finished with Espresso Martinis, which had the perfect balance of sweet.

I got the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious and refreshing without being too floral or soapy. For dinner I got the braised short rib which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The bone marrow demi glaze I could have a bowl of that stuff is phenomenal. The broccolini was roasted perfectly but I felt the potatoes could've used more seasoning. My mother got the lemon chicken pasta, which was good at the time, but when she got home it did not sit well with her. All in all, I would come back for the short rib, and I hope Alara finds a new location soon. The inside is nice and romantic seating, but it is cold ... like bring a jacket and it seems it doesn't matter the season it is colder inside because I saw a google review that also mentioned the temperature of the dining room.

    Northstar Cafe never disappoints. Seriously, this place is stamped in our book…read more The service is almost always A1, and even when the food takes a little longer than usual, they usually make up for it somehow or throw us a comp card, which we definitely appreciate. I also LOVE the setup here. You pay first, get your food second, and everything just seems to run smoothly. No unnecessary waiting around trying to figure out what's going on. My wife and I usually rotate between the pancakes, the hash, the Northstar Burger, or the potato hash. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of them. The food is always fresh, portions are good, and everything comes out looking like somebody actually cared about what they put on the plate. We probably go once or twice a week, especially for brunch. At this point, Northstar is basically family. And if you're like us and pretty picky about where you eat, this is definitely one that gets the stamp of approval. Great food, good atmosphere, and consistently solid service. One more thing: I believe they play jazz after 6 PM Monday through Friday, which is always a nice little bonus. Overall, definitely recommend if you're looking for good food with a nice ambiance. Northstar has a permanent spot in our rotation!

The ordering system is different than at most restaurants (you order at the counter before getting served at your seat), but the line moves quickly. What was especially awesome about our experience at Northstar was the service. There was a very slight mistake on our order (a burger that we asked for no cheese came with cheese), and, although we didn't mind at all, Northstar went above and beyond to make it right.
