Energy, creativity, and the desire for a really great taco inspired the Nada concept. Downtown Cincinnati needed a place to go, revive, and relax after the busy pace of the metropolitan work scene. Since 2007, Nada has been delighting guests with craveable twists on the classics and border-blurring dishes inspired by food from around the globe. Nada has expanded to Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, and their first east coast installment in North Bethesda, MD. Each location is integrated into the local community and focuses on delivering an approachable, casual Mexican experience in a beautiful space. Snag guacamole and salsa to share, and dig in to punched-up tacos, Nada is all about great food and good times with amigos.

Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the City Club Apartments, at 309 Vine Street; resurrected from the history that has stood here before our time, Shires' Rooftop is inspired by the first amusement resort in this part of the country, Shires' Garden. Though the original Shires' Gardens burned to the ground, "in a most picturesque fire," the legacy that was left behind is everlasting and an integral part of the Queen City's history. The creation of the Matinee Performance, the regal guests Shires' hosted, an unsolved murder and other noteworthy events that took place at the original Shires' Gardens, are an inspiration to our program that we look forward to sharing with you.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at BOCA and we were there celebrating his birthday. This was our first time eating at the restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. The Pommes Soufflés "1949", The Charred Leeks, Lumache con Salsiccia and Mafaldine con Bolognese were all super delicious! When it came to dessert, they have a die for gem called - Pomme d'Amour. The craftsmanship of the food that is created in this restaurant is unbelievable and you can see the details in how it is presented. The staff is very attentive, and they make you feel like you are the only customer in the restaurant. We highly recommend BOCA if you want a wonderful dining experience. Lori and Charlie Peterson

    Dinner was delicious. We sat near the kitchen window and got to see all of the food come out which I loved. The cabbage rolls were amazing and the chicken dish was my absolute favorite! The rye dumplings were just okay for me but the brownie was out of this world! Service was great and the ambiance is lovely.
