Overlook Kitchen - Cincinnati

The service during brunch was quite slow and the noise level was excessive. Additionally, checks for groups of fewer than four cannot be split, which is inconvenient. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant and have decided not to return.

We stayed at the hotel and decided to eat lunch at the hotel restaurant. The server was unattended and the service was slow, although we were the only customers when we arrived a bit before noon. The hotel held a wedding so we couldn't sit outside. The restaurant interior was bland, loud, and the windows of our seats were too high to look out. Afterward, we should have gone somewhere else.

The service was really good. However, we would have loved it if they had more options on the menu, especially vegetarian. The food was okay, nothing unusual. You will get a good view of the green landscape around.

The menu features seasonal offerings; we tried the spring 2022 selections. The fried cheese appetizer was outstanding. I ordered the chicken in Soubise sauce, served with potatoes and caramelized onions. The sauce really brought the dish to life, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. My fiancée opted for the salmon with potatoes, lemon vinaigrette, and feta cheese. The pairings were excellent, but the feta truly stood out. We finished our meal with the brownie dessert, which came with a side of ice cream. The food was fantastic, but unfortunately, the service was disappointing and lacked the standard we expected, even for this city. Additionally, there wasn't much else to do in the area.

I have just one word: ZACH!! Every single time I visit, Zach is always friendly and cheerful! This weekend happens to be our anniversary, so my fiancé and I stopped by on Saturday, only to realize that they don't serve brunch that day. Zach was the only one working, but he maintained a happy and upbeat attitude throughout. Other customers even praised the service he provided. When we found out they only have the brunch menu on Sundays, we decided to wait and come back. Today, Sunday, Zach was there again, doing an AMAZING job! It was just him and Pam, but the food was DELICIOUS and served HOT, and Pam kept the bottomless mimosas coming! We will definitely return, and great job to the team! Excellent service all around!
