Forty Thieves — Restaurant in Cincinnati

My 25 year high school class reunion was held at Forty Thieves. I was on the planning committee and truthfully didn't know exactly what to expect. The food was delicious! So many different flavors bounced around my mouth at once. Very good. The staff was EXCELLENT. They attended to approximately 50 of my classmates.
