Salazar, by Chef Jose Salazar, was the best experience and surprise we had on a 24h connection in Cincinnati.

Delectable cocktails, scrumptious food and a great server made our visit to Salazar a truly fine dining experience. Their way of cooking Brussels sprouts is simply the best, oysters sandwich is a must try, and falafel was so tasty and moist that I had to watch out not to swallow my tongue. The three cocktails we enjoyed – love letter, fresh heat and killer queen – tasted as delicious as dangerously smooth . Save some space for dessert, their house-made icecream opens up in your mouth with layers of yumminess.

Such an exemplary meal and experience at Salazar. Alex did a great job with the service! Presentation, flavors, and use of ingredients combine for a James Beard worthy evening. We enjoyed the Fish Collar…and don’t even get me started on the bone marrow butter! I recommend the Bruce Banner cocktail and the wife really enjoyed the Harvest Moon. All in we had 3 different entrees in our party and all at the table felt they were top notch. I highly recommend Salazar but book well in advance….the word is out;)

Wonderful experience. Went for our anniversary and the service was splendid. Food was fantastic and they worked around my allergy. It was a beautiful place. They knew it was our anniversary and took a Polaroid for us! We will be back. Thank you for adding to our special evening.

What a lovely experience. Great cocktails and well balanced plates. The brussel sprouts were especially fun. But what really stood out for me was the kindness of the kitchen to make a grilled cheese sandwich for my youngest. And it looked so delicious i had to snag a bite and can attest it is one of the best grilled cheeses in the world. Added to our must visit again list. Cody was especially wonderful.
