Bouquet Restaurant

We had a wonderful dinner at bouquet with excellent service. Our waitress, Grace, was absolutely lovely and gave wonderful recommendations. All the food that was brought to the table was cooked perfectly and totally delicious.

The menu is split up by courses. If you aren’t too hungry, you could easily get away with just course one and two or just an entrée from course three. It is a pricier place, but nothing felt overly inflated for the high-quality food that was served.

Wonderful value and my wife and I couldn’t believe how much it cost to get a tasting menu with wine paring. The dishes were very well executed and beautifully presented. The wine was quality and the service and atmosphere top notch. The tandoori salmon was a standout dish, although it was kind of an outlier in the tasting menu we had. The Jerusalem artichoke salad we had also was excellent. My favorite pairing was the pasta and wine pairing. The baseball steak was good and so was the duck. However, the main dishes had less of a wow factor than the other dishes. Very well executed but also fairly traditional. Desert was good and was paired with a port wine. We left feeling content and enjoyed every moment of it.

Food was incredible! This place goes above and beyond at mastering flavor combos. The steak I had was perfect and served with figs and it one of the most delightful things ive ever tasted. The pickle platter was delicious, and unique and we loved every part of it. This place is truly one of a kind in terms of menus. If you are looking for something a step up from original, this is it.
Also everything is locally sourced from farms nearby. Staff was very kind and attentive and helped walk is through the menu.

Absolutely wonderful experience! My husband and I have had the pleasure of visiting several Michelin Star restaurants, and this was right on par with all of them.

Service was a 10/10. Our server Chandler was exceptional. He did a great job introducing us to the restaurant, explaining the wines, and being there but not being “too there”. Give this man a raise.

My husband and I both did the tasting menu which I highly recommended. He got the salad with shaved pork, pasta, and ribeye. His fave was the scalloped pasta. I got a salad, carrots, and the chef’s vegan choice for course 3. My husband also got the wine tasting, just do it. And the desserts at the end. All for $65?! Feels criminal.

This place is wonderful, 10/10 recommend. Great experience, great drinks, just wonderful. Bravo, Bouquet!

Stopped in for Valentines day with my girlfriend. I can honestly say this was the best meal I've ever had in my life (sorry mom). Atmosphere was perfect. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and the chef is a genius. We WILL be back. And yes that's applesauce on the carrot cake. It was incredible.

Wonderful experience! Got the tasting menu and my only regret wasn't I couldn't try every single dish on the menu. Staff was so friendly and warm. The environment was cozy and clean. And the food was incredible. Not to mention impressively reasonable prices for the quality. Highly recommend.

I came here for dinner one night and did the tasting option. They have a local farm to table menu that's pretty specialized and allergen friendly. The cocktail menu looked amazing and super interesting; I went with a spicy paloma, which was decent and actually quite spicy (I'm one of the weird folks who likes that). For food: the braised carrots were quite good, but the creme fraiche and those mushrooms were the stars of the plate for me. The tandoori salmon was my favorite plate of the night and something I'd gladly eat any day. Salmon was tender inside with a tasty crust and well-seasoned risotto. The duck entree had a lot of good things going on on the plate. I'd give the duck's cook a 7 out of 10. I love how they use smoke/char to add flavors, and the sweet potato mash was a unique punch of flavor that meshed perfectly with everything else on the plate. The carrot cake had unique twists with the pineapple compote and coconut crust beneath it; the nuts had some good spices, and the cake was not overwhelmingly sweet.. 8 out of 10 dessert. You'll definitely leave full! This is not one of those petite course tastings. The restaurant has a classic, at-home vibe, with a full bar, and great ambiance for a date night. Service was good, and I couldn't complain if I tried. I left Bouquet very pleased and more than willing to come back.

I’ve come here a few times across different seasons and the menu never disappoints. This is one of the only places in the city you can get an elevated vegan tasting menu, and have so much variety in flavor and options. For the first course, the beet salad substituted with mad cheese is my favorite. Then for the third course, I typically pick which entree has the flavor profile I’m in the mood for, and the chef will prepare it with tofu and make any other modifications. Every time I’ve gone they’ve had a sorbet option, and an incredible baked dessert option that is vegan on the menu, though you’d never know. I’ve had a squash pie with coconut whip, and most recently a banana cake. Both were decadent and enjoyed by my non-vegan partner as well. Drinks, atmosphere and service are always great too!

Visited on a Wednesday. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Service was friendly. We would have preferred to sit at a regular table, but we were only offered high tops in the bar area despite several tables remaining open throughout the entirety of our meal. Not a big deal, just confusing. Will definitely be back.

Such a lovely date spot!!! We went there for Valentine’s Day. The food was great, the service was friendly and the ambience was fantastic. Wish they had valet parking, otherwise perfect

Great experience and definitely recommend it. From the friendly, experienced and warm staff, to the great and fresh food. Everything was amazing. I will definitely come back.

Celebrated an anniversary here and told our waiter it was our anniversary and he really did the sweetest thing for us! He gave us a speciality pineapple drink on the house for us to celebrate with our dessert. If you go here, get the tasting menu. I enjoyed all the plates I got and by the end of it you feel full. All the plates were super fresh and flavorful. I got the potatoes for my first, scallop pasta for my second, and a special cut medium rare steak for my entree. I finished it off with coconut cake that hit the spot!

This place is amazing. It is a little pricey, but it is well worth the experience. The food was very good and the presentation was immaculate. The seating was a little on the crowded side. Overall this place is 10 out of 10. I highly recommend the Banquet!!

The staff here is incredible! Most recently had a fantastic wine-paired tasting menu served by Chandler and Jasmine. Cheers to the Chef as each course was perfectly executed. Tandoori salmon and risotto were the crowd favorites. Dessert never disappoints. Wine pairings and cocktails were amazing as always. Management here always makes sure we’re well cared for. If you’re not at Bouquet, you’re missing out.

The food was fantastic for the price. Easily the best money for quality ratio of any restaurant in the area.

[Note about photos: the food was so good we didn't manage to get any photos of the presentation before we dived in and missed the salmon entirely]

Our server was super friendly and quickly changed up our wine pairings to best suit our tastes. She was attentive and asked for feedback at every step even though she was killing it. We had no notes other than to express how impressed we were.

I was concerned upon presentation that the salmon dish was a bit contrived but the multiple elements worked together so well my partner and I were still talking about it on the way home.

The use of mushrooms was a phenomenal perk for someone like me who is a big fan of foraging my own.

Between the two of us we tried both the steak and duck mains and both of us agreed that it was some of the best food we'd had in recent memory.

The chocolate croissant bread pudding was so good I thought my partner was going to cry (no joke, it's really that good). I don't usually have much of a sweet tooth but was blown away by the perfume of the strawberry sorbet as it hit my tongue. Definitely would recommend springing for the cava pairing there.

Portion sizes are larger than any tasting menu I've had before. Timing of dishes (it's a scratch-made kitchen) was exactly on point. We never felt rushed or ignored by the service. My only comment is that i would like to see the chef pull back a bit on the visual impact of the plating and just let the amazing ingredients shine.

Update, Dec 2023: Still fantastic. The menu has changed as it often does and not a sigle dish was a miss. Even took a couple extra people along this time because you can only hype this food so much before you run out of nice things to say.

I went there for my graduation dinner. Service was awesome. Farm to table, ever course was amazingly delicious and of course very fresh. So many flavors 🤤 try their 4-course tasting menu
Must haves are their coconut pie and scallop pasta.

No reservations on a Wednesday night. They were able to seat us, a table of 5, but it looked like we lucked out and got the last available table. We were exploring the area on a business trip and were so happy we stopped in. Troy was great, a friendly and knowledgeable server. The food was fantastic!
We started with the pickle board which exceeded expectations and set the table for the remainder of the night. The pickled watermelon was a table favorite, personal favs included the beets, carrots, gochujang cucs, and fennel. I especially liked the crisp texture of the beets.
We also had the tomato cucumber salad which could not have been any fresher. It was a great example of farm to table featuring the fresh produce and their inherent vibrant flavors.
For the main course, my coworker and I shared 2 entrees, the duck and steak dishes. Both dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The kimchi green onions on the steak dish provided brightness and balanced a perfect medium rare steak with good char on the outside. The duck was the better dish of the two in my opinion, the duck was cooked beautifully medium rare highlighting a slightly gamey but rich and buttery seared breast . I especially enjoyed the parsnip puree. But the veg on both dishes were prepared perfectly. I would highly recommend and expect to revisit Bouquet the next time I visit Cincinnati.

Food was faultless, absolute delish. I love that they let you share their tasting menu, we ordered 3 tasting menus for a group of 6 and it was perfect and it allowed us to try almost everything on their menu. Also they do a really good old fashioned!

Outstanding dining experience, perfect for special occasions - in this case, a business dinner.

Farm fresh ingredients with unique flavor pairings. Nice ambiance and intimate yet comfortable dining area, excellent service.

I recommend starting off with the motherboard charcuterie. The drinks are delicious, as are the desserts - especially the cakes.

We stopped in for dinner to test the menu for our wedding plans. Staff is helpful on picking out options from a well built menu that is limited to what's in season. Atmosphere is relaxed and you feel like you're able to have an actual conversation. All the dishes were good but the duck could have been a little more crispy IMO. If an espresso could be added after dinner that would be awesome. Overall it was a great experience and we can't wait to come back.
