Such a nice view in the evening over looking the city. Such GOOD service from ALL of the staff from the hostess to the person who brought us our food, the bartender and our waitress. I've never gotten an appetizer as quick as we got our chicken quesadillas tonight. Everything was delicious and I have no complaints (which is very unusual for me) my friend got the mahi mahi tacos and said they were the best he's ever had in his life. I got the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts and they were perfect. We also got the giant chocolate cake for dessert which we only knew about because we saw another waitress taking a piece to someone else, and we asked her about it because they don't have the deserts on the menu. It was heavenly, and it was HUGE. We both ate it and still had some left over. Ok i thought of a complaint. The selection of things to choose from is not great, and my daughter was going to come to eat with us, but she has a gluten allergy, and the only gluten free option i saw on the menu was pizza, and we didn't want pizza, so she didn't come. However, I'm sure you can find something delicious anyway.

Loved the food and the experience. Juan our waiter exceptional! I have a gluten allergy and he was extremely knowledgeable and the restaurant very accommodating. (FYI to those with celiac...you can eat most items from the menu and there is a seperate frialator). We cant wait to go back and try more items, and we will ask for Juan!

Hole-in-the-wall burger place in Northside doesn't quite live up to the gem in its hidden gem status.
Ordered the "Hammstein", "Buns n Rose's black bean", and vegan "James Brownie" milkshakes.
Pros:
Large variety of eclectic burgers, including a couple vegan options, all with fun, quirky names. They also offer gluten free & pretzel buns.
Though it fell apart easily, I appreciated that the bean burger seemed fresh and handmade - could see the beans.
Milkshakes can be made with vegan ice cream (coconut ice cream & almond milk).
Fries were great, and burgers tasted decent.
Cons:
Limited seating in a tight space.
Atmosphere is a little grungy, and staff seemed stressed and rushed despite there not being many people.
Vegan milkshake was like syrup - not good.
Biggest issue: Staff were NOT knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I asked if the milkshakes were entirely vegan or if it was just an ice cream swap > was told it was totally vegan > turns out the mix-ins are not necessary vegan (the brownie had egg and I had to ask 4 times before I got that answer.)
Sadly, can't say I'll be back.

Perfect 5-STAR experience at the Kenwood Cooper's Hawk location yesterday, celebrating Valentine's Day at lunchtime. REILLY provided exceptional and highly attentive service, especially with regard to our gluten and dairy restrictions. She was very courteous and professional. We have visited several Cooper Hawk's across Dayton/Cincinnati area (Kenwood, Liberty Centre, Centerville) and the KENWOOD location is clearly superb in all aspects.

I went for a work lunch and asked for the gluten free menu since their regular menu has nothing but a reference to ask for it for gluten free. I am currently in the testing gluten free phase and I ordered their tacos. I was asked if I wanted the combo, which I thought include rice and beans so I said yes. The gluten free menu had zero prices. The tacos were $6.60 each! They were extremely tiny street tacos and should have been $2 a piece. The tacos were ok, not good, not bad. I was also charged a gluten sensitive combo fee of $3.29 I wasn't aware of. My total for 2 tiny tacos and a side of plain, unseasoned, no sauce, white rice, was $17.95. That is highway robbery and insulting. $18 for two tiny tacos is crazy! Service and manager were great but I will never go back and suggest you don't either. All in that ends up being $9 for a street taco, a tiny, 4 inch street taco. That's crazy.
Undergoing a remodel, this original franchise location is known for its unique decor and well-run service.

I am so very disappointed that you stopped selling gluten free pizza. With no warning! I just bought one a week in a half ago and no one said anything about discontinuing it to me. I have been a loyal customer for so many years and now I will never go back because I can't eat anything there!
Cheesy goodness with plenty of options and super cheap draft beers make this spot a crowd-pleaser, even if service can be hit or miss.

The pizza is so cheesy and delicious, and there are lots of options, including gluten-free.
Beers are cheap. Mac's beer is $2 on draft and too tasty for that price.
Service was awesome from everyone, but Sydney was an exceptional server. Not just for us, but for the booth next to us who were from out of town.

Dining at Jeff Ruby's in downtown Cincinnati was the finest restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The venue’s 1920s flapper-inspired ambiance near the fountain at Fifth and Vine set the stage for an unforgettable evening.
The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. The drinks were expertly crafted; I particularly enjoyed a couple of perfectly balanced Manhattans.
The food was the highlight. I savored a perfectly cooked filet topped with crab meat, accompanied by fresh side vegetables, and ended with a rich gluten-free cheesecake. As someone with celiac disease, I was impressed by the staff’s conscientiousness regarding my dietary needs.
There were six of us, and even with a full restaurant, we could clearly hear each other’s conversation—noise control was spot on. The bill was on the higher side, but the experience was worth every penny. I can’t wait to return.
I was excited to try the gluten free crust, but they brought it out burnt. Twice. The second time I was told that it was as light as possible and still cook the middle. But the toppings were black, and the crust on the outside was almost there as well. I tried a bit of the crust which was only slightly less black than the toppings, and was inedible. I will say that I had the loaded fries, and they were excellent, but not enough to make up for the two burnt pizzas, and rather than owning that, making excuses for burning them.
The service was good, but the pizza was disappointing.

The Kitchen Factory is a lifeline for people who are dairy and gluten free. I haven't tried anything that hasn't tasted great and you could never tell anything has even been substituted. Thank you Reese and Dillon for allowing us to have pizza and mac n' cheese again! Looking forward to enjoying a meal in the newly remodeled dining room soon.

We went after a Reds game, so the restaurant was very crowded. 2 of the 4 in our group require gluten free. The menu had limited selections marked gluten free, so we asked what needed to be changed to make the salmon Oscar gluten free. The waiter brings it out just as described on the menu and assured us it was gluten friendly. We ate it and it was delicious but hoping we don’t get side effects. It is difficult to dine out when you feel like your health is at risk.
Bright, colorful decor sets a fun vibe here, with an accommodating atmosphere perfect for groups, though parking can be a hassle during peak hours.

Love Agave & Rye In Rookwood! The food was awesome as always! Enjoy the new menu and taco flight option! Our server, Megan, was awesome and really appreciate ensuring that we could accommodate my husband’s dairy & gluten sensitivity.

One of the few places that does a good gluten free crust. Great pizza at a reasonable price. Pizza was ready in the specified time window for pickup, and staff was friendly when I showed up to pick it up.
Dewey's has an excellent gluten free crust. It's one of the best I have tried. I can see myself coming back again for more. It's thin and has some crunch! The sauce and toppings were wonderful.
Cozy vibes and high-quality drinks await, with standout seasonal greens and unique paninis that leave a lasting impression.

Fun experience for a birthday celebration and they handled one of our guest's gluten free (celiac) needs superbly. Our server was helpful and attentive.
We have been going here for years. The food is fresh and made on site. Their wild mushroom noodle soup is unlike anything I've ever had. Meatless, but hearty and filling. Enough to share for tomorrow's lunch. They make they own noodles, so they may run out if eating late, but the servers are happy to make recommendations. Open until 3am Friday and Saturday nights, this is a great place to have an exotic retro cocktail, shareable appetizers, and a fantastic, "not what you normally see as Chinese food in America" dinner. They even have gluten free options.
A spot for memorable birthday dinners and tasty cocktails, with a personable service and a commitment to grass-fed meat.

Used to be one of my favorite places but back to back weeks they have been out of gluten free bread, there’s also never anywhere to sit. The menu is also overpriced. Will not be coming back, not worth it.
Fire… 🔥🔥🔥
Every, single, time… They have fantastic options for everyone (including those who are plant based or gluten free) and the service is friendly with a smile and expertise.
Honestly, I wish they would create another location on the east side. I’d totally invest in it!

Upscale street tacos is what you might call these? They are on the smaller size, they they taste amazing.
The queso may be the best I've ever had. And the margaritas are legit. Lots of gluten free options if you need that.

I am celiac, and it is a roll of the dice on the food. I have eaten there several times and have had a received something with gluten on about half of the visits even though I ordered specifically what is labeled gf and telling the server it is for an allergy.

Another fantastic meal at Nolia - I had the chicken gizzards, carrots, cornbread skillet and the duck and they were all outstanding. Great cocktails too. The ambiance is also great - nolia has somehow managed to create a bustling atmosphere that you can still have a conversation in, which is really important as most restaurants are too noisy, imo. Good gluten free options as well!
I really like the ribs but there is something in them that gets me that evening and the next day. Not like white castle slider bad but according to those around me.... fairly close. Only problem is they are so darn good. They do have a fantastic gluten free menu. If you have celiac, gluten allergies, or just a general aversion to those items. Just ask for the menu
Hamburgers are good size and they do offer gluten free buns. Bacon cheeseburger was really good. We were seated immediately but did wait a bit for server.
