    We had a lovely pre-Christmas celebration dining on walleye, chicken livers, hot slaw, green beans, mashed potatoes and blackberry cobbler. The “new fashioned” cocktails were terrific. Our server was courteous and attentive. Great evening at the Greyhound!

    Our group of four enjoyed an exceptional dining experience. We sampled a variety of dishes, including wine, beer, oysters, grilled artichoke, lamb shank, shrimp and lobster scampi, mussels, and Cioppino. Overall, the quality of the food was impressive; however, the oysters and lamb shank stood out to me. The oysters were outstanding, the best I have tasted in Cincinnati since The Anchor closed. The lamb shank was substantial, though I would have preferred it cooked a bit more towards medium rare, yet it was still very flavorful. The prices were reasonable, and the service was exemplary. We look forward to returning.

    We check out the new Cap City in Cincinnati which is right across from the UC campus. The ambience is very upscale diner, with oversized booths, nostalgic Cincinnati decor with a modern day twist. We started with the wings, which were excellent. Big, juicy and tender. The Blue Cheese Potato Chips were good as well. For our entrees we got the meatloaf which is massive and big enough to share. The City Kabobs were our favorite! Made with beef tenderloin, these kabobs were top notch. We rounded out the evening with a slice of their carrot cake. Which again, is big enough for multiple people! Overall, I thought the value was great for the portion sizes. We will be back.

    The dinner was delicious! Starting with the delicate sashimi which was very fresh and had a buttery texture. Next the five whole different colored carrots were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented and the gizzards were tender and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. The lamb neck was huge (easily enough for 2 people) and perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and tender flavorful meat underneath. The duck breast was also perfectly cooked a nice medium rare with a tasty sauce sauce. Our server Cole was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. Altogether a great experience!
