    Volare is always a wonderful experience. Everything on the menu is delicious. I know it’s an Italian restaurant, but I think they have the best ribeye in town. Seriously! Try it! Parking can be tough but they do have valet parking if you don’t feel figuring that out. It’s a small tight neighborhood with a lot of cars. Don’t let the parking stop you. You will love it!

    Great dinner tonight here at Fork & Barrel. The service was amazing, the owner operator stopped in with us and chatted for a while and I love how they converted what seemed to be an older home into a restaurant. The food was amazing and I look forward to going back sometime soon in the future.

    Food was amazing and the portions were huge! I highly recommend this place and I am not a huge lover of steak. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts for my dinner. I had a taste of my husbands steak, which was so good that I would consider getting steak there.

    This was TRULY the best experience at a restaurant that our group has ever had. Our waiter, Daniel, was an absolute star. He was fantastic- attentive but not pushy, kind, excellent at his job, and just all around the best. The food was unbelievable. We had a variety of seafood, steak, and drinks and it was ALL incredible. Kudos to the chef on all fronts. You also can’t beat the views of the Ohio River! Gorgeous ambiance- sit on the deck if you can! All around 5 stars!!
