Wonderful place!! The atmosphere is fun and inviting!! We got there for happy hour and saved a bunch on our drinks!! We got the trout dip for appetizer!! Omg yum!! We devoured it lol! The flavor was just perfect!! I got the fish and chips for dinner-- the fish was flakey and fat. There was definitely enough meat to taste the fish!! The breading was perfectly seasoned and crunchy. I didn't fall off! The truffle fries were very good, but I couldn't eat many of them. My husband got to cheeseburger with truffle fries. It was a good portion, fresh burger... not a frozen patty. Everything was from scratch. For dessert, we got the basque cheesecake (my first one!) And the turtle brownie. The cheesecake was very fun and different! It tasted like if a cheesecake and an egg custard had a baby lol. We ate it with caramel on the side. It was so good and we definitely recommend you try it!! The brownie.... was dry and crumbly. It wasn't good. Overall, we loved this place!! We hope to return!

The cuisine was stunningly delicious & presented! Steak & chicken dishes tasted of such high quality, made this dinner also a great value! Not surprising, the service was ultra-impressive, as well! We will invent reasons to return!

The salmon and asparagus with risotto was absolutely amazing! So tasty! And the wait staff was so friendly and personable. I would totally recommend having lunch or dinner here. You won't be sorry you did!

Wow. I had no idea that this place was so amazing. We decided to try it after visiting the Zoo Festival of Lights. This could be some of the tastiest food I’ve had in Clifton, and possibly Cincinnati. I had a lobster pot pie which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor — topped with buttery puff pastry. It was both incredibly satisfying and filling. My husband had the Hangar Steak — which was prepared perfectly. With mushrooms and delicious charred onions. It is definitely the dish that will make us return. The service was on point, and both professional and welcoming — it also felt genuine, as if the staff was happy you were there visiting. One more thing, don’t miss the trio of desserts. Unbelievable. If you are in the area, stop by for dinner — you will not be disappointed!

This restaurant is close to the zoo and is a fantastic spot to enjoy great food and drinks after a day looking at all the animals. They've got a bunch of different kinds of craft beers, amazing cocktails that taste awesome, and food that's super delicious and unique. The place looks really nice and the people there were prompt and helpful. The best part is that even though it's a fancy spot, it doesn't cost a ton of money, so you can have a nice meal without breaking the bank. Oh, and don't miss out on trying their turkey Reuben and the bacon and fig jam bruschetta! Both were a bit different from the usual, but worth it for sure!

The bacon wrapped scallops are absolutely divine! My husband can't say enough about the steak! The white lotus was a perfect compliment to my friends halibut. And the place has a freaking wine tap? I need that in my house! Don't actually want dessert? They offer wines and cocktails that are so scrumptious and comparable. The rooftop terrace is an excellent place to unwind and enjoy a relaxing..... everything. They cater more towards the crowds with the kinds of memorable nights I'm looking for. It was super packed and the staff was all busy and attentive and friendly. We can't say enough about this establishment. Bravo!

We visited the Gaslight Bar & Grill for Valentines Day dinner and so glad we chose to dine with them. Specials were created for the occasion to include libations, and their dinner menu was available to order from as well. My husband had the Ludlow Wellington, and I had the dinner special. Both dishes were so tasty and cooked to perfection! The Birth of Venus cocktail special was simply divine! The shortcake for dessert was the icing on our Valentines dinner at this neighbor gem!

Had a lovely lunch at Gaslight Bar & Grill—highly recommend the rooftop seating! The view and atmosphere made it such a relaxing experience. We enjoyed refreshing Aperol spritzes, a bright and zesty ceviche, and a really satisfying chicken salad sandwich. Everything was fresh and well-balanced. Great spot for a laid-back but elevated meal—can’t wait to go back!
