"What a hidden gem! During our vacation, we were looking for a coffee and breakfast place and stumbled upon this wonderful spot. The atmosphere was so peaceful, and the staff, especially Cody, were incredibly friendly. The coffee and breakfast were both excellent—I had the Sammy, while my wife enjoyed the stuffed French Toast, and everything was delicious. They also have an upstairs seating area that is beautifully designed with tables and lounge chairs. It's a shame we discovered this place only on our last day here. If we find ourselves back in the area, this will definitely be our go-to breakfast spot!"

"I visited this restaurant specifically for the empanadas, which feature a deliciously crunchy corn exterior. However, I found them to be overpriced. I ordered two—one beef and one chicken. While I thought the flavors were good and the verde sauce was tasty as well, the empanadas were quite small and didn’t contain much filling. I ended up spending $8 for the two. After my meal, my friend decided to try the barbecue place next door, where he got a pulled pork sandwich. His $7 sandwich was enormous, with enough meat left over that he could have made two more sandwiches from it, and he also said it tasted great. I definitely regretted my choice to eat here instead of at the barbecue joint, especially considering the significant difference in portion sizes for the money we both spent."

"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."

"What a beautiful gem in downtown Cincinnati! Our experience at 21c was 5 stars across the board. Upon arrival the valet staff is very friendly, polite, and helpful. The check in staff is wonderful, they made me feel right at home and had a wealth of information about the hotel surrounding area. Our room was beautiful and charmingly unique! The design and amenities are top notch, even inspired some ideas we'll be implementing in our own home. After getting settled we went out for a date night and didn't even have to leave the hotel! The museum space is a delight, the exhibit on display during our stay was thought provoking and a wonderful time spent. We then had dinner at Metropole, connected to the hotel, which was delicious! The staff there was also very friendly. The on site gym is very clean and well appointed, and open 24 hours! Overall we could not have been happier with our stay and hope to return soon! Thank you all at the 21c Cincinnati.Rooms: Clean, great design, everything we needed and more.Walkability: Everything is so close!Food drinks: Great onsite restaurant.Noteworthy details: All staff is incredibly polite, friendly, and gracious. 21c Cincinnati staff sets the bar all hotel staff should be aiming for."
