We were with a large group and had a catered meal. It was wonderful food! The salad with feta was amazing, but the chicken was my favorite. Also, we had a bread pudding for dessert and it was so warm and wonderful. The staff was fun, and the wine was a great value.

I have been here before and enjoyed it, but the place just keeps getting better. There is a new menu just for summer that is amazing. Three courses for $24 - included soup or salad, choice of two entrees, and dessert. I had a Corn Bisque soup and Spring Lamb entree. I cleaned my plates. Dessert was a chocolate pot... More

Ate here for the first time on Friday evening, with a group of 5 other women friends. Our server Tony was very nice & did a great job providing drink & food service & the correct food orders. He even put up with some classic comments about the kilt from one of our group. We appreciated being seated at a... More

Sit in the front of the restaurant that overlooks the street. Very cozy! Service was good and courses came out as they should and not all at once. Try the beer cheese appetizer and the pork sliders.

We wanted a place for a couple of beers before a Friday night game and this was perfect. It's big with tall ceilings and looks like a classy Scottish Pub. Huge craft beer selection and draft pints were only $3 during happy hour. Food was great, too!

Great food and service. Nice choices for this gastropub from appetizer through dessert we we pleased withit all. Old downtown atmosphere and feel add to the experience. The servers wearing kilts are a fun touch. Good prices, portions and not skimpy at the bar. Be sure to stop here on your next visit to Cincinnati.

Went for brunch. My burger was raw, sent back came back extremely burnt. You needed a hatcchet to cut the waffles. Party of 17, 7 people sent food back. Waitresses were good. Cooks must have been hung over. Won't be back.

The food and beer was off the hook. Our waiter took great care of us. The dessert was amazing. Make sure you try the sticky toffee pudding. It has us planning a return visit.

I had my surprise birthday party there for my husband. Tina, the event coordinator, did not explain in detail the $1200.00 minimum purchase for the room. It was my understanding and my sister-in-law's who helped me organize this party that the drinks, appetizers, and food counted toward the 1200.00 minimum and that we would pay the difference. Well, when I... More
