Great staff and restaurant venue. Service was fast and wait staff was very friendly. We chose to sit outside on the rooftop and the view was amazing. We had the salmon and the pork chop, and both were very good! When we come back to Cincinnati, this place will be on our list to visit again!

We enjoyed a pre-show dinner with friends Each had different dishes and we loved them all. One had the cod sandwich, another had the sausage dish and we split the club sandwich. The restaurant is unique inside. Service was great.

    Amazing experience! Madison was our server and she was wonderful (friendly, happy, and didn’t linger). Service was exceptional! They KNOW what hospitality means and HOW to carry it out! Food was great and just the right amount. The GM and chef both visited our table which gave it a personal and genuine touch. The Restaraunt was super busy but everything flowed smoothly. FOH was trained well and BOH was organized as each course came out in perfect time and was elegantly plated! Highly recommend the vanilla risotto for dessert (ask for extra mango!)

    We had an early dinner so it was not crowded and very quiet. Our server Rachel was amazing and very friendly. The food was incredible, I ordered 2 sides, which were incredible, but very large/shareable portions. The restaurant and decor is quaint, cozy and comfortable. We will definitely return!

    First time to this JR location. Usually go to the Precinct or other JR location if out of town. Food and service was great as one comes to expect from a JR restaurant. Cameron provided awesome service. Enjoyed it immensely as typical at a JR restaurant
