    Service , decor and food was excellent. The dining area was empty (we were the only people seated) which is usually a sign that the food or service is not good. That could not have been further from the truth. Drinks were delicious. The food was amazing. Sea bass was exceptional as well as the chocolate fudge cake. We will for sure be back. This place is a hidden gem.

    The Valentines dinner was fantastic and it was our first time dining here. We had the salmon and short rib and it was one of our best meals ever. At the end of the meal, they brought over 2 glasses of champagne, 2 chocolate covered strawberries and a heart shaped box of candy. So very impressive!! THANK YOU and we will definitely be back with a group of our friends. Crestview Hills, KY

    D. Burnham’s never disappoints. If you work in the business district downtown and have not found D. Burnham’s yet - stop what you are doing and plan a lunch out. It is a hidden treasure with freshly made, seasonal specials and soups, incredible produce and meats and bread varieties that are different and much better than you will find anywhere else. The service from the time you walk in the door is impeccable - one of the few places that actually still looks to really serve you as a customer - and they mean it. Perfect ambiance for a business lunch and special enough to treat co-workers and clients.

    We expected this downtown Cincinnati restaurant to be crowded at lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon, but we were one of only about four tables occupied in the restaurant. This was fine with us because we wanted something peaceful and quiet where my friend and I could talk without having to shout at each other. The lunch menu is extensive and so many things sounded very appealing. I decided on the Cali Chicken sandwich and my friend had the chicken salad sandwich. Homemade kettle chips were the highlight of the lunch although both sandwiches were excellent. A really nice place for lunch if one is going to the van Gogh exhibit, which is only about a block away. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals!

    We had such a wonderful time at D. Burnhams. The waiter was fabulous. He was very attentive to us and our needs. He answered a thousand questions we had, all with a smile. The food was the best that I have had in a very long time. It is a pricey restaurant, but the portion sizes were large, so I feel like it was worth the cost. I would highly recommend D. Burnham's.

    Servers should take orders first from the ladies, then from the men. Servers should put meal down from the diner’s left and remove from the right. Servers should keep water glasses filled.

    Food was okay but everything was so disorganized. We had to wait about 45 minutes for drinks. They also double charged some of our party for drinks, but we were so tired of just sitting there we paid the extra ridiculous amount. By the time we left, you could tell just about everyone in the restaurant was experiencing some sort of disappointment with the restaurant- because most people were audible with their thoughts.
