   I didn’t actually have food—so I can’t give an honest review but as a first timer, I absolutely loved it! I was late for my reservation due to circumstances beyond my control, and they were so considerate (esp because I did reach out and notify them when I realized we’d be late). But I would definitely come back and recommend it for others looking to have a different experience in Cincinnati! Great place and really great employees and service!

   W did not have food. We did not understand why we had to pay $25 to make a reservation.

   The atmosphere at Ghost Baby was amazing. The staff was amazing and helpful from Big T at the entrance to the young ladies at the reservation host desk. Our wait staff, Maddie, was phenomenal. She checked on us often despite the place being very busy. Maddie provided us with some great cocktail selections. We will definitely visit Ghost Baby again in the future.

   Not sure why we’re being asked to rate food when they don’t serve any. But this is a unique venue with wonderful entertainment and amazing but pricey drinks. We loved the vibe. Expect to be asked to leave your table after two hours which was a bummer even though we ran up a $150 bar tab and spent more at the bar after…

   Unique and very beautiful spot. The host was very accommodating with out seating and the wait staff was amazing. Very cool place to visit and even better when Ben Levin plays! He brought guest performers - THAT was super cool.

   Great experience! Made reservations three weeks ahead of time and was in the front row.

   Edit: They updated after our visit! I really want to give Ghost Baby five stars, as the ambiance is exceptional and creates such a unique experience in Cincy. However, I’ve been here several times now, and I find myself hesitant to rate it that highly due to some recurring service issues. First, I’ll start with the reservation policy. While OpenTable specifies that reservations are guaranteed for 2 hours, I was informed upon checking in that our table was only reserved for 1.5 hours. This was confusing, so I asked our waitress about it when she came over to take our drink order. She wasn’t surprised by my question, as she explained that this happens often. She mentioned that she’s been advocating for them to update this information, but as of now, it hasn’t been addressed. For clarity, they only offer 1.5-hour reservations for the first two shows of the evening; every show after that is 2 hours. Since we had the second show, we were only allowed 1.5 hours, which was not clearly communicated when we booked. The waitstaff, however, are genuinely lovely. Our server was kind, attentive, and took the time to explain the situation to us. They also give you reminders toward the end of your reservation to let you know when your time is almost up, which is helpful, though it still feels a bit rushed. Another issue is the check-in process. After checking in at the entrance, there’s an additional check-in inside that usually results in a line. Even though we arrived early, this line has consistently cut into our reservation time by about 15 minutes. I understand they’re busy and doing their best to accommodate everyone, but this does affect the overall experience. In summary, Ghost Baby has so much potential with its wonderful ambiance and great staff, but these service inefficiencies—especially around reservation timing and the check-in process—really detract from an otherwise excellent experience. I hope they can address these issues to make future visits more seamless.
