    Our last brunch at Salazar was fantastic! Smoked salmon sandwich, goetta Benedict (chili crisp addition…wow), chilaquiles and of course fried oyster sliders! The Spill the Tea was a great cocktail for brunch. Cheers to Chef Salazar for letting us enjoy this exquisite place for the past ten years. Too many memories and great meals to count. Here’s to the next adventure!

    We are sad to see this location disappear as it is one of the best meals in Cincinnati.

    The Osso Bocco was delicious! Thanks again to our server that recommended it so highly that both myself and my companion ordered it.

    This restaurant is a neighborhood gem. The osso buco was outstanding. Also enjoyed the smash burger and the chicken schnitzel. Can’t wait to see what the expanded Salazar will offer.
