   MRBL is an excellent restaurant deserving to be included in the top elegant restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area. It is a lovely place physically, easy parking, with a diverse and quality menu for food and drink. Of special note is the excellent staff. From the front door welcome to the excellent servers and management, we were very well treated in every way, making the dinner experience even more pleasant.

   We were a party of five celebrating your birthday. We enjoyed our experience and our meal. The lamb pops are delicious! The live music was great and just the right volume. Our servers were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, when we were presented with the bill, there was a notice of a 3% charge for using a credit card. That was quite the unexpected especially for a high-end restaurant. It did taint our overall experience,

   Great service. Great appetizers. Definitely try the tuna and crab cakes. The dry aged 45 days steak was great. Service was excellent. Live music was incredible.

   A Tale of Two Visits - Exceptional One Night, Disappointing the Next I'm a frequent visitor of MRBL and have always enjoyed the incredible food, ambiance, and service. My visit on 2/14 was nothing short of phenomenal-everything from the steaks to the atmosphere was perfect, making it a memorable experience. However, my return visit on 2/15 was a completely different story. Upon arriving at the host stand for my 5 PM reservation, I was informed that they couldn't find it. When I checked my OpenTable app, the reservation was still confirmed, and I showed it to the host. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, I was met with skepticism and essentially accused of making it up-right in front of my guest. It was an incredibly embarrassing and frustrating start to the evening. Eventually, we were seated and ordered two drinks, the lamb lollipops, two filets, volcano mashed potatoes, and gnocchi. While the steaks were excellent as usual, the drinks were underwhelming, and the lamb was disappointing. After spending $235, we left with a sour taste in our mouths-not from the food, but from the experience. It's disheartening when a restaurant you love and frequent delivers such an inconsistent experience. While I hope this was just an off night, the way the situation at the host stand was handled was unacceptable. Great food should be paired with great hospitality, and I truly hope MRBL takes this feedback into account.

   We spent our anniversary at MRBL and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The food and drinks were incredible, we split the porterhouse for 2 and it was cooked perfectly. The service was also outstanding, our waitress came by regularly to make sure our glasses were filled and did a great job accommodating my food allergy. The live music and rose petals on the table were also nice touches for Valentine’s Day!! I will definitely be coming back!!

   It was my first visit to MRBL and it ended up being better than I expected! The food was amazing and the service there is amazing as well. They did have live music there, in which I usually don’t care for, however, the singer they had there was pretty good. Although it was Valentine’s Day, and despite being very busy, the staff still took the time to make accommodations and took good care of us the entire time. I’ll definitely be back for some MRBL!

    We had a great experience at MRBL. The views were amazing. The food was fantastic and if I could rate the servers higher than a 5, I would. Great place to eat with great people serving you. Expensive? Yes but so worth it. Only quibble would be maybe not have a singer on Valentine’s Day as it did make it a little noisy. But otherwise, a great night and highly recommended.
