    We go to Moerlein before every Saturday Reds home game. We’ve done this for several years. Ben is the host and greets by name and is always looking out for us. Brittney is our favorite server because she also looks out for us and make sure that our food arrives timely in our service. Their food wash works great for everybody, including vegetarians and children.

    We got the $8 burger and fries. Mine was great, but my husband's was well done and dry. The Parm fries are really good, and they give you enough for 2-3 people for 1 order.

    Food was great. We mentioned a birthday when the reservation was made through Open Table but nothing was ever mentioned.

    I’ve been there three times in the last two months prior to Reds games. It seems like the food is slowly going down hill. I really like the Moerlein beers, but they weren’t very cold. The lettuce on my wife’s salad was limp. The short rib grilled cheese wasn’t grilled. It will be a while before I come back.

    Service and food were fabulous but noise level was horrible. Could barely hear my date talk across the table. We were upstairs and had Carla for our server. Very good service!

    Great service, really good food. Prices were comparable to other local restaurants. Good ambiance (better if you were seated at a table with a view). Although we had a large group, the noise level was high.

    We were seated right next to the outside river facing window. Our server was very attentive to our needs. The food was excellent. I had a burger since it was Cincinnati Burger Week, and my wife had the Squash Wellington. The only downside was because there was a Red's game, their happy hour didn't apply. It's in the fine print. Overall, good experience.
