My husband and I visited the Waterfront and were very disappointed. The service was terrible we did an awful lot of waiting. Not at all what you would expect from a 5 star restaurant. The food was ok good but not great. I will say the salad and mac and cheese were very good. I ordered the Lobster Bisque it... more

Went with a colleague on business expenses. She ordered a fillet mignon medium and it was tough and well done. I ordered the rib eye medium rare that that could kindly be called medium raw. It was so full of gristle that I could have used a chain saw. I was so disappointed after a long day and heard all... more

About once a month, my wife and I travel from Columbus to attend the Cincinnati Symphony Pops Concerts. We usually stay at the Marriott Courtyard in Covington and we always eat at the Waterfront. We receive excellent service and the food is excellent. We love the variety (steak-seafood-sushi). One thing that impresses me is the friendliness of the staff. You... more

We went to the South Beach Grill for a retirement celebration, and everything was incredible. We had a nice table by the window where some of us could see the Cincinnati skyline and some could see the sunset (sort of ).

My boyfriend brought me to the waterfront for a romantic date. I thought it was great, until i began eating the lobster tail i had ordered. It was horrible. I didn't say anything when I was there, but i didn't eat more than a quarter of it. I think you could eat at any causual restaurant such as Applebees or... more
