   Had reservations here prior to a show at the Aronoff. First time visit. Menu is limited, but wow was it delivered on point. The chicken and waffles was probably the best we’ve had anywhere, flavorful and neither the chicken nor the waffle was dry. Southwest salad was very good as well. And normally we wouldn’t get a steak, but that’s what my daughter chose and it was perfectly cooked and the sides (potatoes and brocollini) were very good as well. And the Bourbon Espresso martinis were delicious. They had a nice bourbon selection as well (of course) but we didn’t really get to visit that part of the experience on this evening. Also, our server Haley was wonderful. All in all it exceeded our expectations.

   Service was friendly and attentive. I had the chicken birria tacos and they were delicious! It’s a large portion as well. Drinks were very good too! It’s a little loud but it’s a small busy place with tall ceilings. I would definitely recommend this place!

   We were looking for a restaurant near the Aronoff for dinner before a show. Wow, did we find an excellent one! Bourbon's Craft Kitchen & Bar had a great selection of appetizers, salads, dinners and sandwiches. The appetizers were enough for a light dinner. The crab cakes (2 of them) were served on a bed of arugula with a light dressing, and the burger I had was delicious. The server was able to recommend food in all price ranges, and she was attentive but unobtrusive throughout dinner. This restaurant was really lovely, and it's right around the corner from the Aronoff theater. We didn't have drinks, but I'd love to go back and try one of their bourbon drinks. They looked wonderful! Next time...because I will surely be patronizing this restaurant again!

   great service, a quick turn for the Aranoff show. I would have liked my food cooked a bit longer, but it was still good. great beer selection.
