   This is, by far, the best restaurant that I've enjoyed, in the greater Cincinnati area. The ambiance is beautiful (chandeliers!), the service is exemplary, and the food is absolutely delicious. We went an hour before our reservation to enjoy drinks at the bar. The drinks were well made and our bartender was exceptional, with prompt service and great tips for our upcoming meal. Our meal was fabulous! We started with the deviled eggs, a must try. Then Porterhouse steak that was melt in your mouth delicious (my husband and I shared), creamed corn casserole, potatoes au gratin, and Brussel sprouts. We ended the meal with Bananas Foster. We were celebrating a birthday and my husband was given a special dessert. The whole experience was amazing. For us, this is a special occasion restaurant since it is quite expensive. But it was worth every dime!

   Food was very good! Their butter candle was awesome and a first for me. Service was outstanding. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. I think it was the manager that was very nice and walked around to the tables making sure everything was great. We celebrated my daughter’s 17th birthday there, and they really made her feel special and celebrated. Would recommend!

   Great service, good ambiance, and even more incredible food. We ate there for my boyfriend’s birthday and had a large group that they were able to accommodate with no issues. It was the perfect night and can’t wait to go back!

   First time at SOB and it was amazing! The atmosphere, the service and food was on point. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff all made sure to acknowledge, they went over and beyond. It was an hr drive for us but we will definitely be going back.

   I was so excited to finally try this restaurant! The pictures and reviews online sold me. However, when I first walked in, I was less than impressed with the service. There were two hostesses at the entrance. They were speaking with an older couple who was leaving out. I overheard the woman sharing how great of a time she had. And there I was, waiting behind them to be acknowledged. I made my reservation ahead of time and was eager to be seated. While I understand the importance of ensuring each customer has a good time from beginning to end (more on that later), that is why there is more than one hostess. Eventually, the conversation ends, and I am shown to my table. It’s on the side of the kitchen which is kind of loud, but not the worst. Our server greets us and provides the menus. We look over the options and make our decisions. However, it is a while before he makes it back to us. Nevertheless, I am taking it all in. The manager comes out to greet us, and I truly appreciated that. We noticed staff intently cleaning wine glasses. They truly care about presentation. I ordered the classic filet with potatoes. The potatoes were lukewarm, but my guess is that my plate was ready before my husband’s. Everything tasted great. We were so full, that we couldn’t make room for dessert. Unfortunately, an experience that almost fully recovered was soured again on our way out. There were now three hostesses up front, and no one acknowledged us on our way out. After spending $200, it’s the least you should do. Even Planet Fitness employees break their conversations to say “Have a nice day.” Anyway, a little bit goes a long way. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and hope adjustments are made by the time we return.

   SOB offers a fantastic ambience with beautiful decor and excellent service, creating a welcoming dining experience. Unfortunately, I found the food to be underwhelming. I ordered the wagyu filet, mac and cheese, and Hasselback potatoes, but the meal lacked flavor, which was disappointing given the premium price. While I imagine other items on the menu might fare better, I wouldn’t recommend SOB for steak

    First time at SOB, had a reservation and was not seated until 15-20 minutes after said reservation time. Some of the food was spectacular, however my husband ordered the waygu burger Medium and it came out very rare and cold. For the price of the menu items, I would expect a little better quality of food.
