You will never disappointed at the Quarter Bistro. Specials are imaginative and a delight. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is very nice and relatively quiet. Price/Value may be just a little too high on price. If you like Key Lime pie, don't miss it here, nowhere else compares. Overall, one of our favorite restaurants in the Cincinnati area.

Waitress was excellent but since being there a while ago portions smaller and prices higher. Had the mushroom soup special minus prosciutto, was very good. Appetizer of 3 shrimp for almost $20???? Somewhat disappointed. As been there many times.

Wonderful dining experience. Great selection from the menu. All meals were delicious. Wait staff is top of the line - attentive, informative and pleasant. Would luv to see a few “can’t get this anywhere else” dishes; but what is on the menu is delish. Definitely in the 4 out of 5 price range, but well worth it….all was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Outstanding food and service. Short rib and filet are both exceptional. I would argue that the filet is the best kept steak secret in Cincinnati. Excellent bourbon selection as well. The chef's soup of the day selection is out of this world...the sweet corn chowder with bacon and the sausage and bean are the best of a tremendous selection.

We enjoyed a fantastic meal and exceptional service. Our waiter was Sam, and he provided amazing service, and was a lot of fun. We were a large group of 10 noisy people, but he took perfect care of us. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Not often 10 people go out for dinner, and everyone raves on about their food and also the service they received. We were a rather noisy group, so they may not give us such a good rating.🤣🤣

The Quarter is a better place now that the newer menu better reflects the upscale ambiance. The sea-bass, mussels, tuna tartar, crab cake various of us had we all "buy again next time" quality. Service from Jenna and back-up was perfect. Both inside and outside ambiance is among the best in the city. Prices are not low but not at all out of line with the quality experience.

Another very good meal at this restaurant. I had the specials of the evening--Gazpacho, mini Beef Wellingtons, Copper River Salmon. All were very good. And of course their great bread and butter. Started with an Aperol Spritz and also had a glass of Barbera. My husband once again enjoyed Tuna Tacos and a salad. Always good to see a favorite restaurant busy on a week night!

Our experience overall, was very good as usual at the quarter bistro. Our server, Parker, was attentive, and very well-versed in the entrée preparation’s. We shared appetizers, including mussels, the fried green tomatoes, and a flatbread. They were all deliciously prepared and served hot. I also had a small Caesar salad. That would be the only item that I would say was lacking. With the quality preparation of the rest of the meal I would’ve expected the Cesar to have Freshly shaved Parmesan, but it had dry grated Parmesan that was like that in a container in the grocery store. And the dressing was definitely lacking in flavor, and in fact, couldn’t tell if it was on there or not. It was served up nicely, though with two white anchovies. But overall still a very good experience.

Celebrating two wedding anniversaries. The atmosphere was very nice, service was excellent, and food was very good. Linguine coconut shrimp was very good, along with the fish. The chef, also, made a chicken coconut linguine for one of us who was allergic to shrimp. 2 dessert were complimented for the four of us, very nice. Drink list could have been better, but not bad.

We had hoped our evening at the Quarter Bisto would be special, and it was that and more. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Each of the 3 of us had a different entree-they were all flavorful and cooked to perfection. We shared a side of the Truffle Parmesean Gnocchi and agreed it would make a satisfying entree with a simple salad and good bread. It truly is a must try item on this splendid menu. We ended our meal with dessert - a keylime tart with a gingerbread crust for my husband and a flour less chocolate cake for me-the lightest I've experienced. Thank you for making our 70th and 75th birthdays extra special. It was a meal experience we will long remember.
