November 8, 20168 yr I'm really excited for this restaurant! Chef Ryan Santos is a really acclaimed chef in the foodie scene, and his presence in OTR will only help OTR prove it's worth as a foodie destination. What i'm not excited is that a 4 course tasting menu (these are small dishes mind you), starts at 52$. Meaning, if had to go with my gf, that would cost 104, plus 15-20$ for tips, plus another 20-25$ for some drinks. Were talking about a 130$-145$ dining experience, for 2 people. That's incredibly expensive, but only reiterates the fact that OTR will be the next Hyde Park of Cincinnati when it comes to wealth in the next 20-30 years.

The space is really nice, tall and clean, white with marble tops, and I love that the self-serve water has a plain soda water tap, which is what I always drink, and the food was great. I just didn't like paying up front when you order. Are you supposed to leave a tip? there is a line on the receipt for tip, but there is basically no service. I don't get it.
