Best Casual Restaurants in Mariemont

I can’t stop thinking about our meal here last night. Blew our minds. Absolutely the best food in Cincy. Immediately texted friends and family after to put this place on their radar.

People the Emery is a hidden gem in Cincinnati! Food, service, ambience are all amazing. Calamari is some of the best in town, make sure you eat the pickled onions that come with it. Twin filets were perfect, even asked that they give me the mushrooms from the chicken dish to match with it. Pear martini is something you have dreams about. Great wine list by the glass or bottle. Even great prices on really good bourbons. You have to try the Emery, I'm always amazed this place is not packed every night but glad we could get in a last minute reservation.

We brought some out-of-town friends and had an absolutely delightful experience! Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience!

We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Cooper's Hawk several times, and each visit has consistently been a fantastic experience. The service, food, and overall atmosphere never disappoint, and this time was no exception. During our recent visit, the only minor hiccup was that they were out of brussels sprouts and we were seated near a window which was a bit chilly. However, the exemplary service we received from our server, Camily, more than made up for it. Camily was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was top-notch despite the small inconvenience. Once again, Cooper's Hawk has proven to be a delightful choice, and we look forward to our next visit!

Three of us shared a special reunion dinner. The initial hosts were quite polished, yet I felt my guest's attire and my signature (SF Asian Art museum) baseball cap was a possible issue, so I was not surprised when we were sized up and sat in the back/vault. The back was GREAT. More privacy and tons more quiet than the front. The final server we had was THE BEST. He helped us with the menu quickly and seamlessly (he really knew his stuff.) His friendliness was NATURAL, not forced. We were not rushed. Plus he was the perfect balance between professional and friendly. Formal dining etiquette (re clearing and food delivery) were all present and perfect. Yes, this was rather pricy, but I will definitely return, esp for a special occasion. And our server deserved his 30% tip, even if provided by a guy in a baseball cap with casually-dressed guests. ; )
