Review: Comet (Brunch)

January 29, 2010

I just love the Comet, but for some reason, I rarely go there. When I heard that they were starting a brunch, I decided that we just had to try it out– the weekend it started, which was last weekend. I figured there would be a few kinks as they were trying something new, but [...]

Review: Kyojin, Mason (Lunch)

January 28, 2010

It’s a well-known fact that I hate buffets. I really don’t like Las Vegas-style buffets. Indian buffets I tolerate, since they’re often the only Indian lunch option I have. Breakfast buffets, unless it’s one like the one at Orchid’s, are really not my cup of tea. Sushi just never seems like something that would be [...]

Groupon is entering Cincinnati!

January 24, 2010

Groupon is finally entering the Cincinnati market (it’s been quite successful in Columbus). Groupon is a way to use the power of the collective to get good deals on things in Cincinnati– and restaurants are often businesses that love Groupon! In other cities, Groupons have featured: $5 for $10 worth of sandwiches at a Columbus [...]

Re-Review: Lavomatic (Small Bites & Cocktails)

January 21, 2010

Sigh. Terry and I didn’t want to travel far for dinner on Friday night. We also had a gift certificate and thought we ought to use it. To Lavomatic we went, as there is a distinct shortage of restaurants within a block or two of our house. Lavomatic, the first restaurant in the “new” Gateway [...]

Best of Cincinnati!

January 20, 2010

Wow! wine me, dine me is one of the initial nominees (based on the top vote-getters for last year) for City Beat’s Best of Cincinnati in the blog category, along with some other great blogs (actually, all of them are great, and I know most of the writers personally). If you’d like to vote for [...]

The Senate to open in early February

January 19, 2010

Soapbox is reporting that The Senate, on Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine, will open in early February. This is great news– I know that they’ve struggled with some liquor license issues, which delayed their previous Fall 2009 opening. The menu looks great– can’t wait to try the cocktails with a Croque Madame hot dog. I just [...]

Review: Mayberry

January 19, 2010

Mayberry has been open for a while– and open for dinner since sometime in November. Because I wasn’t in Cincinnati a single Friday or Saturday night in November, my first opportunity to experience Mayberry came about because my mom made a Christmas request: “I don’t want gifts,” she said. “Take me out to a nice [...]
