About the restaurant

There’s character at every table. Whether you sit in one of our farmhouse dining rooms, the industrial-design style pub, or outdoor by the fire listening to live entertainment, you’ll enjoy a culinary experience which can’t be found anywhere else in our neighborhood.

Our menu utilizes the best in farm-to-table cooking, paired with a specially chosen wine list, a deep selection of craft beers, and classic cocktails with a spin. Our in-house pastry chef caps off your experience and satisfies your sweet craving with delicious sweets, cakes and pastries.

This is gourmet comfort food with a creative twist. We want to challenge your expectation of suburban dining, bringing a bit of downtown Cincinnati’s gastronomy scene to Liberty Township.

Patio seating is first come first serve and we do not take reservations for the patio but will always try to honor requests. Due to high demand for patio seating this season we will require that the entire party has arrived prior to being seated.

The food is amazing. We stated with the brunch board and the pastries, muffin, and cinnamon roll were so good. I got the loaded potato hash and it was unreal. Someone else in our party got the farmers breakfast and the hash browns were so good and the bacon, they got so much. The ambience is so great and our server could not have been nicer. Great brunch spot and I will go back to check out other items on the menu!

Really great brunch for our family! We enjoyed the food and service very much. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that it seemed the air conditioning wasn't working, so it was pretty warm being July 4. They had ceiling fans cranked up, which helped with air flow.

i sat at the bar and this was on a holiday so it wasn't too busy. the bartender was okay, she seemed to be standoffish. the rest of the staff was nicer. she made good recs and suggestions. the chicken and waffles are amazing. went with original option. drink wise the espresso martini was excellent. the food is definitely worth it. i like that they sell the waffles to go as well.
