Awesome place to grab a doughnut. They are always fresh and always have something new to try. They are generally pretty huge donuts so plan on taking a nap afterwards.

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night and really wish we could have stayed here for at least a couple more nights. There are only about 10 rooms here, it's like a hybrid of a lodge/hotel and a bed and breakfast. The location is incredible, it's tucked away in the mountains and you have to take a windy mountain highway to get to it. The views from the deck are gorgeous. Beware, there isn't much close by to get food from, so we brought a pizza from Nederland and a 6 pack and sat on the massive back deck to watch a beautiful sunset.

The lovely folks who run this place are incredibly friendly. When we checked in they gave us a tour of the whole grounds and showed us all the amenities that their lodge offered. They have multiple hot tubs (which were extremely clean), a pool table, a media/theater room, plenty of stuff to keep you entertained. It IS cannabis friendly, but everyone is respectful about it and stays in the designated areas for 'consumption'. I would not hesitate to take my family here.

The breakfast was fresh and homemade... waffles, fruit, casserole, bagels, toast, coffee, OJ... all the good stuff. Needless to say, next time way are in Colorado we will be returning here for a few nights

One of the best lunch spots in downtown Cincinnati. Their baked sandwiches are delicious - the hot turkey special is by far my favorite. Definitely try their 'famous turkey chili' that comes topped with cheese and sour cream with tortilla chips on the side. The place gets packed around normal lunch times, but the staff is super fast and friendly and get people in and out very fast.

My favorite place to get fresh roasted whole bean coffee in Cincinnati. The beans they sell are usually roasted the same day or the day before, so it's always super fresh. The woman that runs the shop is very friendly and helpful.

You can expect this place to be absolutely packed during any major sporting event and on every Saturday/Sunday during football season. It's a good place to go watch your team because they have TV's everywhere and can put on any game. The food is decent at best and overpriced, and the beer selection sucks.

Really nice park in the heart of Northside. In the summer there is a farmers market on Wednesday evenings until 7PM.

My wife and I and another couple were staying at the Mariott near CJ's after recently getting married (hooray!). We had the great fortune of wandering over to CJ's for an amazing dinner. It is a bit hard to find, but there are lots of signs to point you in the right direction!

Everything about this place was fantastic. We showed up within an hour of closing and it was fairly empty so we were expecting to get somewhat of the run around service-wise, but man were we wrong. Our waitress was incredibly nice and friendly. The menu is priced EXTREMELY well, drink prices as well! We really couldn't believe how good the food was for the price.

I had a sausage penne dish that was superb and the others in my group ordered the petite fillet that was cooked to perfection.

After we had eaten, the owner/chef John even came out to say hello and congratulate us and to talk about our stay in Panama City Beach. John was really a stand up guy and he runs a heck of a restaurant.

We could all surely agree that we will certainly be returning to CJ's the next time we visit PCB.

Had a great dinner here while visiting D.C. They have a huge number of draught beers and even more bottles. Had the 'truffle burger' - burger topped with goat cheese, arugula, and sauteed mushrooms - it was fantastic. Service was great and really fast for a busy Saturday evening, I would definitely come back again.

Bluebird is one of the best breakfast joints in Cincinnati! Classic diner breakfast food.

My favorite place to eat in Northside. Delicious hot sandwiches with plenty of vegan/vegetarian options and lots of creative side dishes to choose from.
