I have been going to the Red Onion Cafe for years. Staff is friendly and remembers you. Full service bar and catering. The actual restaurant is small and intimate, located in a historic building. You’d never expect such interesting and fun food, its always changing and it always has your favorites. Great for a date or for family or even to read a book while you eat. I love going there for my own birthdays. My favorite is the roast beef sandwich and french fries with crumbled blue cheese on top. So filling and satisfiing. Try it out!

The Red Onion Cafe is defiantly a hidden gem. The food is amazing, you can tell that everything is homemade and fresh which makes it an enjoyable experience in itself. The only thing that I’m not to fond of is the service. It is family owned so I would expect a more family feel but that’s not always the case. It’s not terrible but It would be nice if the waitresses and bartender would crack a smile when they’re handling guests.

I paid a visit to the Red Onion on a whim, and though there isn’t much parking and it’s easy to miss your first time round, once inside the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was scrumptious and service was great even though they were packed for the lunch hour. I would totally recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a casual, delicious lunch at reasonable prices. I had the fillet mignon hoagie with provolone cheese. Mouthwatering!

I live in Cincinnati but have a lot of friends in Dayton, so I’d been looking for a halfway point to meet for lunch or dinner and spotted the Red Onion Café on the web. I’m glad I found it! The food was very good – I had the portobello mushroom sandwich and a delicious cup of white bean soup made with black forest ham; my friend had a spinach salad that came topped with a beautiful fillet of salmon. There were lots of Bell’s beers on tap, and the atmosphere was modern, but casual and cozy. The servers were friendly and very helpful. I look forward to coming back for dinner some time!

Finally a middle place between my Cincinnati friends and my place that has great food! I had the bloody Mary and the salad with apple and smoked gouda (omg i loved it so much I wasn’t even that hungry and ate the whole freaking plate cause I just couldn’t stop!) portions are a good size, pretty big (or at least their salads are) which ran around 8-9 bucks. I can understand how people say they’re over priced. to add chicken to a salad it was an addition $5 which was off putting. However, the base prices are pretty fair I think for the quality your getting. I recommend this place highly!

Very good appetizers and a pretty good selection of main courses. Burgers are very good and is would come back just for those. Would like to see more side options to help fill you up. I will be back.

I love the nachos! The service is great. It’s a quiet little place that really malls you feel welcome. However, their liquor selection is hit or miss.

Monster nachos and cheese wasess than monstrous. Missing black beans and pico de Gallo, shrimp Caesar salad charged 11.49, it was less than a cup of food in a bowl and made with wilted ice burg with no croutons.

Great entree! Delicious seafood. Gave us the wrong dessert to go. Otherwise, this would have been 5 stars.
