Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Clifton

This is my second visit. The food has been exceptional and a wonderful break from the typical greater Cincinnati over-the-top steakhouse mafia. The steaks are locally sourced, and both times, they are correct in doneness. The starters and sides are good. The drinks are reasonable in price. Service is prompt but not really NYC steakhouse level. The staff does watch out for each other, and not much is left unnoticed. Prices are reasonable for a steakhouse serving dry-aged food.

Amazing as always! Such a great, unique place…it’s the real deal. Fun ambiance, staff is great and the FOOD. Chef deserves every accolade he gets and more! We will be back.

Five on Vine exceeded our expectations. We were celebrating a birthday and they made us feel so special. We started the evening with the OTR Beef Wellington which was so flavorful. We then proceeded to ordered the casear salad and clam chowder. The clam chowder was my favorite thing of the evening. For our entrees we got the cioppino "Fishermen's stew" which was loaded with delicious seafood and the vodka pasta. Both were outstanding. We were too full to sample the desserts but we will be back!

We had a great time last night (1/4/25) celebrating my husband’s birthday with friends. Our server was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The espresso martinis were delicious and we enjoyed the tomato creole soup, blue cheese chips, and shrimp cocktail. Our entrees were equally delicious and the portions were so large for the price - a great value! We got a free dessert to celebrate the birthday and the carrot cake was DEVINE. If we weren’t going out after, we definitely would have packed up the leftovers for home. We look forward to coming back soon with our kids!

Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.
