    We had a group of 5 ladies dine for lunch. We all had different salads..all were very good. The menu is very limited, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! Seemed a little odd that there was only one other party eating, but perhaps the location (on the edge of downtown) and on a weekday was the reason.

    Wonderful experience at Pennyflower Bistro! There were so many favorite dishes, but the croquette and the halibut dish stood out the most. The culinary artistry was impressive to say the least. I would recommend anyone that wants an inviting atmosphere, great service, and above all great food, to stop by Pennyflower Bistro.

    My daughter and I had a meal of snacks and light bites before a performance and it was just outstanding. We both agreed it was one of the best meals we’ve had in Cincinnati recently!

    We sat at the bar and had the restaurant week menu. The service was absolutely amazing. Cocktails were on point! The Cincinnati Cooler! Carbonara croquettes were fire! The crispy mushroom lasagna was mouth watering delicious! Definitely recommend Pennyflower! We will be back!

    Delicious food and ambiance! It seemed like the restaurant was trying to create pauses in the meal for an extended experience, but the pauses were a bit excessive and the meal took a long time
