  • "This is our favorite non-chain restaurant. Everything about it, from menu variety to service and beyond is perfect every time. They should not change anything."

  • "Finally a nice Friday night to end our winter blahs. We had the special Valentine menu which was yummy. Steak and pork chop were good but it was the sweet potatoes that made the evening! And the popcorn pots de creme....oh my! Did not want to share. Amanda took great care of us. We'll be back soon."

  • "This was our second time at Tano. The atmosphere is great; romantic, quiet, and relaxed. We ordered the Valentines' Day special which provided a ton of food at a great price. Our server checked on us throughout the night. Very happy that this little treasure is so close to us!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Another home run for Tano's! The party we dined with took advantage of the $75 dinner for two special for Valentines Day month. They enjoyed their steaks. My wife had the scallops, and I had the Amberjack fish special. Outstanding! Billie was our server (per our request...) and even though they only had two people for the entire dining room, you wouldn't have known. As always had the flourless chocolate torte for dessert to end another great dining experience. I will miss going to Tano Bistro with these friends, as they are leaving town. However, we will visit again, as this is our favorite place. Looking forward to the new menu soon!"

  • "We went for my birthday . They had a special for Feb. which is what drew us in to try it. We were hesitate due to the fact the wine that came with the 3 course meal we had never had and we can be a little snobby on the wine. It was terrific! The food was excellent and like I said the only compliant I could have at all was the wait time on the main entree but I think something was going on in the kitchen out of the ordinary. Parking in this small town can be a challenge on a Saturday night I am sure it's even more so in the summer. We are excited to go back my husband wants to try the short ribs. They have outdoor seating so we will be back in the summer for sure."

  • "My husband and I dined at Tano's over the weekend and had a wonderful experience... Great atmosphere and energy...and yet still cozy. The food was just perfect. Our server was very attentive and thoughtful - helped us navigate the menu since it was our first visit. We will definitely be back..."

  • "Everything about the evening was great, except for something that the restaurant likely does not control. I am handicapped - cannot walk without a cane or other assistance, Parking is not convenient and worse than that the city did not take care of snow piled at crosswalks. It was extremely difficult - aka dangerous - trying to get onto the sidewalk."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "One of the best restaurant meals I've had in a long time. Dishes were imaginative w/o being odd or unusual. Good presentation and very delicious. I'd go back in a heartbeat & recommend to friends."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "At a friend's suggestion we tried Tano on a busy Friday night. Service was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was fabulous. A warm comfortable atmosphere. What a delight. We will definitely be back!"
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "We've been several times. We brought a couple on a Friday night for their first visit. They immediately booked to bring other friends the next night!"

  • "Ate here for the first time with my wife...She had soup and sandwich and I had the vegetarian wrap...Both meals were excellent...We will definitely come back soon for lunch or dinner..."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Tano Bistro is a pleasant neighborhood gem with friendly staff and a reasonable selection of entrees. Our meal was good, but that was it. It wasn't great. The flatbread was very tasty and I recommend it. The entrees were well prepared but we felt that in an effort to create a great dish, too many ingredients were added and that distracted from a crisp, clear taste. The sundae dessert, in particular, just had too much going on and lacked sophistication. We had a nice meal but would not drive out of our way to return."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Great food! Willing to accommodate any request. Staff was genuinely interested in making the meal and time enjoyable. Historic building and upscale in decor. Well loved by locals. A place to come time and again!"
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "Had a wonderful dinner with friends on Saturday night. Two of us had the fluke special and it was wonderful. My husband enjoyed the duck and the crab cake appetizer was great. My only comment would be to go back to the filet presentation/accompaniments of the au gratin potatoes and asparagus. The sides of carrots and kale discouraged me from getting the steak. The other member of our party ordered the filet, but didn't care for the accompaniments- just kind of looked like a "salad bar" side instead of an elegant entree. Our server was pleasant and quietly (and appropriately) helpful. We'll definitely be back- Tano is a real gem for the Cincinnati area!"

  • "I love the food specials. They change it up with excellent choices that make your taste buds wanting more."

    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "Finally made it to Tano after talking about going for a long time... Had a great experience. Good wine selection, wonderful appetizers. We both had the same fish, Mahi Mahi, prepared differently. Each was exceptional and distinctive. Finished with splitting the peach/blueberry cobbler, which was perfect. Will definitely return and recommend to friends."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "Wonderful dining experience. Great ambience. Food exceptional. Staff never rushed you out the door and gave you enough time to experience your food before asking you if you needed anything. High class dining for a fraction of the price."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "My husband I wanted a date night and chose Tano, because every time we go to Tano, we have a great experience. Our server remembered us even though it had been four months since our last visit. She helped us navigate through the menu and her recommendations were fabulous. Our martinis were delicious, and the appetizer came out at the prefect moment; after we had time to enjoy our drinks and were starting to focus on food. The grilled salad was great and I nibbled on the bread basket during the salad course. My dinner of scallops was perfect. I had made a special request due to dietary restrictions and the chef worked with me on that and the dinner could not have been any better. My husband loved the special he chose. We love Tano!!"

  • "We were looking for allergy friendly dining and stumbled across Tano Bistro. We did not ask for any special preparation but found menu items that were compatible with our dietary needs. The Ambiance was friendly, cozy, neighborhood-elegant. The server was attentive and knowledgeable without hovering (a plus). The food was delicious. We had the filet, and the potato encrusted Amish Chicken, both were very nice. We shared a salad with ham and asparagus, very nice! For desert there was a special flour-free cake that topped the meal off nicely. We definitely recommend Tano Bistro!"

  • "Last minute decision. We were able to score an early evening reservation on a Saturday. Had the grouper special and salmon for entrees. Wine selection was nice. Service was a tad slow, but we were in no rush. S'mores dessert was just OK. Still, a nice experience and we will go back."

  • "My husband and I had brunch at Tano, everything was amazing! From the moment we stepped inside, the surroundings, the host, the lighting, the decor,our server, all was perfect. There are many choices for brunch, varying between traditional and eclectic items. I had the shrimp and grits, everything about this dish, grits, fluffy eggs, shrimp & crispy spinach were above the norm, ....I savored every bite! My husband had the huevous rancheros and truly enjoyed the entire combination of flavors, he too, savored every bite. I love Bloody Marys and Tano's is great, spicey but not too much and full of flavor. We look forward to returning several times to this amazing dining experience."

  • "It's romantic and the ambience is quaint. They seated us immediately, but they have a nice bar area- looked like people were enjoying themselves. They were out of the wine we wanted so had to spend $20 more on the next bottle up. It was good, but I was bummed to spend so much. They substituted broccolini for green beans and did not tell us. The grouper was really good, but I wish it were not breaded although the Panko breading was light and crispy. Overall it was good, just overpriced."
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "Although the food is well prepared and well presented it is not outstanding. The service is unobtrusive and timely; the pricing is right. The great flaw is the noise level. The décor intensifies each sound, normal conversations at each table become ever louder, and the din is oppressive."
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "Great restaurant and very convenient when taking in a show at the Loveland Stage Company around the corner. The menu is fresh, creative, tasty and well-presented by an attentive staff."
