    Sunday brunch was delicious, we had the pancakes and farmhouse meal (eggs, potatoes, bread, fruit instead of bacon). Portions were slightly smaller than the average American restaurant, but quality was excellent. Noise level was a little rowdy, not to complain, but to point out that some guests really enjoyed their cocktails :)

    Always love our dinner here! 5th visit since they opened. Savannah was an absolute pleasure of a waitress and even though for the first time we were seated in a room away from everybody that was kinda weird, she took great care of us. Everything was wonderful and the addition of a chocolate dessert ( FINALLY!! Keep it on please!) made it even better. ONLY comment I have is I feel they are pricing themselves out of us and others coming more often.

    10/10, 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.

    I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
