Local food restaurants in Cincy
Apr 24, 2012, 4:47 PM

I'm traveling for business with two coworkers - each of us gets to pick the restaurant for one of our dinners. My natural inclination is to go for something farm-to-table, or at least using some locally sourced ingredients. So far the places that have jumped out at me are Local 127, Honey, and Nada. Only trouble is we're staying in Sharonville, and I've already sensed some trepidation from them about going "all the way downtown" for dinner.

Is there anything that might fit this bill a little further out from the downtown core? Also, any thoughts on the places I've selected and/or others I may have missed, in case I can convince them it's worth the drive?

Local 127 certainly has delicious food, although my top choice for downtown dining is Jean-Ro's Table.

From Sharonville, the next community north of mine and home to many ordinary chain restaurants, I suggest you take a look at Brown Dog Cafe in Blue Ash, local chef-owned, very creative and very good. Also very easy to get to from Sharonville.

You'll be very close to Mason in Sharonville, try Wildflower Cafe! You will need reservations if you decide to go, so definitely call as soon as you can if you plan on this one. All food is fresh, organic, in season, and locally grown and raised. It's wonderful!!
