Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Mason

Amazing experience for brunch. I had the crab cake Benedict and my husband had the shrimp and grits with andouille sausage. The eggs on my Benedict were poached perfectly. The andouille was by far the best we’ve ever had. Perfect amount of spice and not gritty like most. The pineapple upside down mimosa was spot on. Can’t wait to go back for dinner.

Great experience overall! Our server Brennan was terrific. Definitely ask for him. We ordered the scallops and raclette for appetizers. Scallops were great but a very small portion for $19. Raclette was great. For mains we ordered the wagyu flight, sea bass, truffle fries and Brussels sprouts. The sea bass was the top dish, but everything was great. We will definitely go back! Fair warning, it’s a pricey restaurant, but overall a decent value. Good job SOB!

Very good food. The roasted vegetable and goat cheese flatbread was AMAZING! So was everything else. Kara was very good as our server as well.

We had reservations for 2 at 5:30 on Christmas Eve (which we booked in October). We arrived around 5:20 and were called to the front for seating at 5:31. Our server was outstanding. Food was very good and earned a 4, but could have been a 5 based on past experience but some things were off target just a bit, probably due to the huge Christmas Eve crowd and load on the kitchen. (We’ve been here several time before, so we know that FB is almost always 5-stars across the board.) The biggest downside is the noise level in the restaurant which makes conversations difficult.

Tony’s is an absolute hidden gem! By far our favorite steakhouse in the Cincinnati area. Service is off the charts and the raw bar is top notch. Not pretentious at all and worth every penny. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu but my personal reco is the “Dallas Clark” with a miso butter topping. A couple of their unbelievable scallops on the side. You can thank me later…. Oh, and the crab cake as a starter is as good as any I had when we lived in Baltimore. Make sure you give it a try!
