First things first, the Quarter Bistro has excellent food. We loved our dinner and appreciated the wine list, especially the half-bottle options since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary on a weeknight. I had the Gerber Chicken and my wife had the Shrimp & Bay Scallop Angel Hair. Both were excellent given our personal preferences. The plating was very nice as well. We also opted for the margherita flatbread, it was nice and crisp with good cuts of tomato and delicious mozzarella. We opted for a half-bottle of malbec which we found to have a great taste and a nice level of spice to it. Though we didn't say for dessert, the Graeter's around the corner proved too tempting, I now wish we had. Second, the ambiance was a bit strange at first. The interior dinning area where we sat had a strange reminiscence to the 'honey moon' suite you typically see in movies. Reds, mirrors, and dark wood. This is, of course, not a negative. It certainly had a romantic vibe and felt like a special occasion. We sat in a two person corner booth and so were seated next to each other rather than across; it was great. Finally, the service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive without being intrusive. Side note: had it not been a muggy/hot day in Cincinnati, we would definitely have sat on the patio. They have a wonderful location on the square and have the added date-night benefit of being attached to the movie theater. I would certainly recommend Quarter Bistro to anyone looking for a romantic night out (with a movie?) and anyone looking for a spot to celebrate an anniversary. We'll definitely...
Read moreTo sum up my experience I reserved for 2 on valentine's day, try something different it looked and sounded good by photos and reviews online. Once I was sat I was handed a menu with 4 main courses to choose from not the menu posted. Because they decided on all night to limit the menu to do it on valentine's so looking at the menu my date would not eat 85% of what was listed. I was upset 5:30 on valentine's and we were just handed nothing I saw online. We were denied the options for regular menu but we had the choice to sit at the bar and order ala carte from the menu they had for the night ( the same $80 for each person dissapoint of a menu ) so I was happy to hear that from the waiter who smelled like a cigarette factory. So call ahead and make sure what you are looking forward to is on the menu that night and they are not deciding to switch it up that night. As I was told by the cigarette factory they tend to do that on holidays. Thank you for letting me know when I reserved my table. My experience was terrible and I'll choose not to go back but maybe it was another day I would go for it but I wouldn't spend a...
Read moreWe just had to share a huge thank you to Quarter Bistro for making our son’s night so special!
Our 17-year-old son took his girlfriend there for homecoming dinner on Saturday. We had told him to make sure he was ready — check prices, reservations, have enough to tip, the whole parent talk. He chose Quarter Bistro because it’s a place they always drive past, and it felt special to them even though they’d never been.
He came home absolutely glowing! He said the food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect — even if, in his words, it was “all older people” 😂. The best part? The manager came out, told them how much he loved seeing young couples there, and took care of their bill.
That kindness meant the world to him — and to us as parents. Thank you so much to the staff and management for such a thoughtful gesture. It made their night unforgettable. ❤️ We’ll definitely be visiting...
