"reviewBody": "This is easily the best new restaurant in Cincinnati! Chef Jacob is so unique in his approach to simple and traditional cuisine. European influences perfectly fused with classic comfort food. We started with the egg toast which I highly recommend, a light and flavorful dish to kickstart the meal. I ordered the Crispy Vegetable Lasagna and it was divine! It had layers upon layers of homemade pasta, cheese, and a touch of sauce bursting with flavor. My mate ordered the Chicken Pressade, which he gave a solid 10/10. The presentation was beautiful as well. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was perfectly delicate with the subtle warmth of the cardamom spice."

"reviewBody": "Nestled between the Two Oldest Bars in Cincinnati, Arnolds and Bay Horse Cafe this beautiful Bistro's name pays tribute to the historic farmers markets of the early 1900s in Cincinnati. The staff are well seasoned professionals. The chef is Classicly trained. The food and service are absolutely out of this world. If you are a fan of Boca and Sotto on 6th street you now have another option just a block away."

"reviewBody": "Bold Hits, Missed Opportunities, and a Cozy Vibe. Pennyflower Bistro is ambitious, and when it lands, it really lands. But not everything on the menu hits the same high note. First, the stars of the night: Carbonara Croquette and Moroccan Tartare. These weren't just good—they were transportive. The croquette had that perfect crispy exterior, giving way to a rich, silky carbonara core that screamed indulgence. The tartare? Spiced to perfection, balancing heat, acidity, and depth in a way that made every bite feel. Easily two of the best dishes we've had in recent memory—complex, flavorful, and executed with confidence."
