Great menu of specialty hot dogs. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. Staff was courteous and attentive. Would definitely visit again!

It was pretty good. The place is super cramped, and you're sitting with other people, and very close to them. The food was good. I had the truffle fries and Korean dog. The service was a bit slow. TVs had old black & white movies goingI would've loved a football game on, but I get that they are going for a certain vibe.

Not my kind of place. While the food was acceptable, it was extremely greasy and heavy and of enormous amount. Just ridiculous - the essence of Americanness, if that's a word. The decor is the super-mainstream reclaimed-wood, exposed brick, overpriced and hip - definition of uninteresting. The waiters were very nice, I cannot disclose that. However, none of it matters in the end as it was EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY LOUD. I know I shouldn't expect people speaking in polite soft voice in Cincinnati - the people here are just so insufferably loud all the time everywhere. Nonetheless, I can't make myself enjoy it one bit - it ruins any lunch or dinner to just be aurally violated. I am sure the things I listed might be pros to a lot of people, not cons. Well, I review from my point of view, a European from Warsaw, Poland, that regards American and Cincinnati people's all-around behavior as insufferably rude and loud

Went in excited to try this restaurant we've been to several restaurants by the chef and always been happy. The food was bad and that's being kind. The duck fat fries were greasy and soggy. My hot dog was cold and flavorless. My wife's steak was more than half gristle and fat. The service was uninterested in fact they forget my son's order of fries until we reminded them. We spent the last 20 minutes without water until as we paid they asked if we wanted any. Too little too late.

Duck fat fries are a delicious. Enjoyed the Lobster BLTmy wife had the Korean Hot Dog and liked it too. Cocktails are good, overall this is a solid place. It is a little more cramped than I care for (sit close to other people)but whatever.
My only complaint is that our server didn't tell us about the dinner specials. We ordered our food and enjoyed, but midway through our meal we overheard a different waiter at the table next to us share the specials with them. One special was a soup my wife would have really liked. To me for an upscale (price, not food) joint, this is unacceptable.response / report this review -

It is a clean, well-lighted place. The locals mostly kept to themselves. They seemed quite harmless. The short rib reuben is such a taste of paradise that anything heaven could offer would seem tinsel and cheap. My wife got the lobster sandwich and found the lobster to be overcooked. The poutine with the a poached egg on top was another dish that would make the angles curse their plight. Wonderful. The staff appeared well bathed and proved themselves capable and friendly on a rather hectic Saturday night. I did not observe any illegal drug use and no murders were committed during our visit.

Overrated. Went on a Saturday around 2:30 pm. Not very busy, but ended up with a very surly waiter. Food did not come out together, but when ever it was done and was not as ordered. So fries first, then the Hotdogs and then the other side. The space is very small, so when busy, you might get bumped a few times. On the plus side, the manager was very nice and accommodating after the waiter refused to take of an item from the bill, as it was inedible (sorry Chef). Might want to remind the server what Hospitality means, but based on the interaction with the manager, I would give it another try.

Senate is killing it! Hard to believe I haven't written a review for one of my favorite OTR restaurants, but here we are. Duck fat fries are a must, and I really believe there's a perfect dog on the menu for everyone. Beer selection is fantastic as well. Great spot to grab lunch or dinner, if you can get in.

Trendy and relaxed pub atmosphere. Good beer selection. Hot dogs are amazing. My vegetarian friend said, they have the best falafel. And OH-MY-GOD. the duck fat fries!!!! They are insane and a MUST HAVE.

You can tell the chef's care and it shows in their amazing food! Very innovative Hot Dogs and great service and skilled bartenders. If the hot dog of the day sounds remotely good to your tastes, don't pass it up. You will love it!

Mexico City dog was particularly good. Service was quick. Plenty of drinks and a good atmosphere for a drink or two. Just what you would expect from OTR, a little crowded but a fun location nevertheless.

Magnificent food coma. Dinner for 4 with wine, $120. Worth the trip. The food isn't fancy, how could a hotdog be fancy? The flavor profiles alone are worth the drive. Can't find OTR? There is a Senate in Blue Ash!

I go to the senate on a weekly basis and I am never disappointed. They always have a large crowd but be mindful it's that way for a reason. I highly recommend their oysters and the Korean hot dog. Their duck fat fries are a must! They have a hotdog for everyone here!

The poutine was great! The hot dog itself was very good, but I got the Korean. It made the bun very soggy, and didn't do the hot dog justice. I tried the Pricne 3.0, and Mexico City and those were a lot better. The service was decent, but nothing over the top incredible.

Absolutely amazing! Big portions and the food was great. I highly recommend coming here. I was recommended to come here as well. Amazing food with amazing service. Only downfall was the building is tight and crowded. Other than that it was a fantastic experience.
