Our waitress could not have been any better! Food was good too
This is one of our favorite places to stay when we visit Cincinnati! We love the food, the service, the price and the atmosphere!!!
We will always come back for Moerlein Lagerhouse!!
Food and service were both excellent! Our server made great suggestions and the kids both said it was the best food they had ever eaten.
The food was good as well as the service. Some of the patrons were obnoxious which impacted the dining experience. Not sure all of the COVID distancing was in place.
Reservations are definitely recommended. We were seated right away but it took them forever to take our orders. The food was good. Appetizers such as cauliflower wings were great.
Awesome place dine! Service, food, and atmosphere 5 stars!
Excellent service, great views of the riverfront and most importantly excellent food
Very good food and good service
Great food, service and view!
We had reservations for 10 people and we got seated early. The food is amazing and the service was fantastic. They were extremely busy but I never felt a delay in service at all. The view is worth it too. I would highly recommend to anyone!
Variety of food choices and all that we had were excellent! Extensive beer list. Service was top-notch. Ask for a table near the windows with a view of the river.
Fantastic. Kind and courteous staff.

Beautiful restaurant! Mango ipa was amazing! Ordered beer can chicken and not so good😞 Husband ordered fish. It was very good
Great evening! Love being downtown Cincinnati
Lots of space in between tables which was nice not only for social distancing, but to have a romantic dinner as well.
Great service. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Will for sure be back.
Good food, great beer, beautiful view. My wife and kids and I loved it.
Great service on Valentine’s Day and food came super fast!
Moerlein is our go to and NEVER disappoints! We came twice on Valentine’s Day (brunch just me and my husband; then dinner with friends that have never been) both times were outstanding! The food the service were amazing! We were so happy that we are bringing our twins to celebrate their 15th birthday in a few weeks! If you have never tried them you won’t be disappointed! We love the beer, the food, the service and the views! Day or night you won’t be disappointed! Love love love!
Great experience
We had a great waiter, good food and an all around awesome Valentines Day❤️
Great spot, beautiful view of river and nice open concept. Enjoyed some great corn chowder and salad on a corn day and awesome beer flight.
Would highly recommend and right near downtown!
Valentine’s Day lunch
Great looking building. Exciting atmosphere. Outstanding views. Delicious food. Courteous and appreciative staff.
It’s a nice place. I would say the food is decent for such a large menu. We came there for brunch and it was their regular lunch menu with some brunch-items thrown in. The sandwiches were very good. Our server was pleasant and the food came out in a timely manner. I would return but it’s a very casual sports-bar vibe. The restaurant looks very cool inside and the menu is a step-up from a sport’s bar though.
Valentines Day for parents of 5 kids. Had a table with a view and liked knowing we had a table reserved.
Valentines Dinner! Food was cold, dining room was freezing, and it just wasn’t as good as previous experience.
From the Spicy Garlic Shrimp appetizer to the Fish & Chips dinner, the food was great. Always enjoy trying a new drink from a large beer list.
Just wasn’t a enjoyable as our first visit. We’ll definitely give it a try in the near future.
Menu is smaller and the request for window seat for my wifes 30th birthday was denied. Not sure if we will be back.
It’s good if you like fancy beer food is much to be desired the steak frites were good but the fries were cold and gross my wife eats anything and she couldn’t eat her sandwich it was that bad and the Kalamari was gross service was ok and the view was nice best thing was the pretzel rods lol was ok overall would got back though
Perfect Meal and night out!!
We always love coming here. The food and service is great.
Food is fantastic, beer is great, service is nice and polite
This restaurant was very nice. A truly enjoyable experience from the food to the view and staff. I would definitely come back again.
Fantastic experience. Moerlein’s is a great place to enjoy a dinner.
It was our anniversary, which I stated on the reservation. Hostess told us we had to sit at a high top in the bar area which was extremely loud. Our server was one of the worst I’ve had, she barely stopped by our table. We had to ask other servers for things like salt/pepper and to take our used dishes away. There was no free dessert offered like normal when we go here for our anniversary.
Great view, friendly attentive staff, really good food!
Reservations were easy and accurate. Wait staff top notch and food was unbelievable. Second time here and impressed both times beautiful views of the river as well. Friendly atmosphere. Will be back.
