Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Cincinnati - Mason

Had a pleasant Christmas Day luncheon. It was crowded as expected, but the food still came out quickly and hot. 2 of us had the filet mignon and one had the tuna. Everything was very good and the cognac brownie prepared at the table attracted a lot of attention. We would recommend

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!

My meal was rather late since they didn't make it correctly (plain). This is not the waiter's fault, but it was hard to track her down for any refills. Otherwise good.

Always a great experience. Food and service always excellent.
