- CBCBENVIPLondon •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day ago10/10, must try. My wife and I had dinner and were beyond impressed. Hands-down one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati. I was hesitant to go to a “brewery” for dinner, but this is NOT just a brewery. The atmosphere was elevated but not pretentious. The food was fresh, locally sourced, and delicious. I couldn’t believe the quality at such an affordable price. The menu was creative and artistic while maintaining comfort and simplicity. Way above its weight class. The beers were the best I’ve had since Colorado or California… maybe better. I HIGHLY recommend checking them out before there is a 1-2 month waitlist.More infoMellotone Beer ProjectPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Over the Rhine•4.3
