Clean and quiet cafe. The staff was very friendly with quick service. The food was fantastic! Best house side salad I have ever had - all fresh ingredients, and banana peppers. Yum! I left having over-eaten, but it was worth it! Such a great find for supper.
Nice Christmas music as I walked up and I walked inside and all the Christmas decorations we're so nice. I felt like I was in a Hallmark movie LOL
This cafe is a gem. Clean, very efficient wait staff, excellent food, full bar and the best small brewery seasonal offerings in town. I started with a cup of chicken noodle soup and quickly realized I should have ordered a bowl. That followed with a rubin, perfectly put together and grilled just right. Choice of French fries or Saratoga chips. Only thing missing was the kosher pickle spear. I'll be returning to try additional items soon.
Was pleasantly surprised by this place. My wife had the lasagna and loved it. I had a bit and thought the sauce was delicious. I had a soup and sandwiche and enjoyed both. I'll return!
Excellent food and service. Very well prepared.
Delicious hole in the wall joint with great lasagna.
Good food, good drinks, good service but nothing seemed to set it apart from many of the other restaurants in the area
Let me first preface this review by saying that I know businesses have bad days and wait staff have bad days. I understand this and I will be back. However, its always good to receive constructive criticism. Background- today was 2nd day into Cincy burger week so my friend suggested Gabbys.
Pro: Nice Atmosphere, clean, good seating, bar area and meal was average but we ate so we cant complain too much>:)
Cons: Service was slow, spotty and non attentive
Prices a tad high, i.e on a regular day our Caprese Burger with chips $13, however, Burger week only $5. A discount of 60%. WOW
We were there from 1p to 2:10p for burger and chips. wayyyy to long!
Gabby's ownership. You put your waitress Andrea in a bad situation. At 1pm, she had 4 booths with 2 people, a group of 8 ladies, plus running the bar area with 8 patrons. I felt sorry for her but on the other hand, Andrea could have made her situation better with us by saying a few helpful things like, I will be with you in a minute, or even apologize (which she did at the end) and let us know that we have not been forgotten.
Here's my timeline:
1pm Greeted Promptly
104 sat down waiting on a friend
109 friend sits and orders water
129 No one came to table, no water , then I spoke to the gentleman (forgot his name) who sat us down about no service
139- water comes- 30 MINUTES to get water- unacceptable in the restaurant industry---at this time we noticed 2 gentlemen at bar area sat 15 mins after us and already had their salads
Andrea takes order only for the cincy burger special. She did not ask if we wanted anything else with our meal , nor did she ask how we wanted our meat prepared. It automatically came well done
151- food is finally here. Andrea sits food down and literally walks away. ( mind you is she not being mean nor did she have an "attitude", but she seemed overwhelmed)
210- 20 minutes passed before she checked back with us to see if we needed anything.
213 - We check out and I leave a 56% tip because I know we all have BAD DAYS but geez!! see attached pics.
Pretty good food. Great service. Comfortable.
Good spinach salad service is usuaĺy kind of casual but yesterday when we indicated we were in a rush to make another engagement they were right on time
Family-friendly place. Great salads and the tomato sauce is awesome so that makes the pizza, spaghetti and lasagna the best in town. Burgers are highly ranked on the Cincinnati Mag list!
Dinner was delicious! Eight of us at the table and all loved the food. Fried mozzarella was great!
Place is awesome Great neighborhood bar a restaurant.. Food is almost all homemade. Nothing on the menu that isn't top notch.
