The staff was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the evening. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the special Valentine’s Day menu. While we were made aware of the fixed menu and pricing in advance, I found it to be too restrictive and overpriced for what was offered. The quality of the food did not justify the cost, and the portion sizes for each course were underwhelming. I understand that special event menus are often limited, but I expected a better balance of quality, quantity, and value.

The strip steak was tough and full of gristle. Calamari was great. Been here many times. First and last time trying the strip steak. I’ll still come back for other items.

Love the ambiance of the place, with the Art Nouveau overhangs, mirrors, Toulouse-Lautrec paintings, the Frenchness and elegance. My bistro burger was bad! It had an off putting smell that the grilled onions and questionable American cheese didn’t cover. The meat was almost tasteless but the smell was so weird (chemical). The fries were their usual delicious crispiness. My friends dinners were great: trout and risotto. The waitress seemed inexperienced. Our baguette was burned and too dried out to eat. She forgot the cream and a couple of other requests, but she was nice enough. The deserts of Key Lime tart and Flourless Chocolate cake were impeccably presented and delicious.

Wonderful experience at The Quarter Bistro! We had the mussels which were fresh and the accompanying sauce made the dish. We also very much enjoyed the Verlasso Salmon. Cocktails were outstanding and so was the table service! We look forward to returning!

We had an outstanding meal. The mussels were the best I can remember. Every other dish we would get again. Ambiance is very upscale (with white table cloths) and very comfortable. seating. Our server, Chelsey, back after five years, showed us what outstanding service is all about. Highly recommended.

I visit Mariemont often but this was my first time dining at the Quarter Bistro...the food was amazing and we had great service. I had an off menu option...the cod which was beautifully plated and was very fresh. Great wine selections too.
