I dined at Moerlein to watch the Reds play against Cleveland and had a great experience. I ordered the Filet Mignon cooked rare and was not disappointed.

My husband and I were here for Sunday Brunch. The buffet was good everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. While I wish the crepe bar had a cheese filling it was still good. The view is always outstanding, and the staff went out of their way to serve us. Over all great experience.

The newly-renovated cafe is charming. Our server, Kenneth, was most helpful and professional. The food was plentiful and delicious. We plan to return soon!

If you're in the Cincinnati area, be sure to visit the Bellevue location of Buckhead Mountain Grill, located just down the Ohio River from Newport and minutes from downtown Cincinnati. The views here are simply stunning, especially from the deck suspended above the riverbank. Enjoy a casual and comfortable atmosphere that is perfect for an evening out or a quick bite during lunch. This is the place to relax and savor great times, in a setting reminiscent of the Rocky Mountains greatest lodges. Set your watch to "mountain" time and take in the beautiful views of downtown Cincinnati. Climb your way up to flavortown and experience all that Buckhead Mountain Grill has to offer!

Buckhead Mountain Grill offers a good selection of excellent food at reasonable prices. Getting to sit by a window or outside with a Cincinnati skyline view is the best! Do not miss the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes and the creole sauce with it are outstanding! Our party's entrees were the salmon, chicken strips, whitefish, and chicken breast topped with cheese, bacon, and mushrooms and all were very good. We loved the sides, especially the sweet potatoes and the blue cheese coleslaw. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a night not to cook, Buckhead is an excellent choice!

This was the last weekend for the igloos so there were some miscommunication between Dewey’s and Braxton regarding the food that was being served, but we didn’t care and we went with the flow and it was awesome! Can’t wait to do it next year!
