The staff were friendly and helpful, it ended up being quite busy but they remained attentive. We tried the cauliflower wings and the pretzels with beer cheese, both were incredible! The smash burgers and sweet potato fries were fantastic as well. Do not sleep on the desserts, both the cinnamon sugar pretzel bites and cookie dough wontons were delicious. We will definitely be back"

"reviewBody": "This was our first visit to Free Parking and we had so much fun! We're big game board people and have been so excited to check it out. The food was so good and so filling, the cocktails were delicious too! We wished there had been some snacks (not just appetizers) like popcorn or chips and dip. Overall we had a great night and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. However, we were there for 3-4 hours and were only checked on 4 or 5 times. We had to flag our server down most of the time or we had to go to the bar to get refills/ order a drink since we couldn't find a server. At one point everyone except the bartender, disappeared for 20 minutes at least. We had to ask for our checks and it still took 20-30 minutes to check out. To get our checks the workers, were yelling back and forth about what was needed and that we were ready to leave. We do plan to come back because we loved it and we know it's just getting started. This is a great addition to College Hill and Cincy!"
