#FridayFinds - Whit's

We stumbled upon a custard shop and enjoyed out dessert.
Doesn't quite replace the places we miss in Toledo, but was good for the evening.



Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Bibibop

OK, so it's only a pop-up restaurant on Tuesdays, but I'll still put it in #FridayFinds.
This one is a pop-up in the Cincinnati Sky Walk.

I've been a couple of times and got the Chicken bowl both times. 
I'll repeat again, but I'll be the first to head someplace else if it fits in the schedule.


Namaste.

#FridayFinds - In Between Tavern

The In Between Tavern in downtown Cincinnati is close enough to the office that I've visited with some co-workers a couple times.  The food is good, but beware - the service is very slow. So slow that some of my co-workers have put it on the "no way, no how" list.  I'll still go, but I try to go super early before they get busy - if I don't lunch will become dinner by the time the food arrives.

#FridayFinds - Agave & Rye

We try to find a new restaurant for our anniversary...
This year, we tried Agave & Rye for our 15th.

The appetizers were great, the tacos were unique and amazing, but the price tag was on the higher side... It is a repeat for us, but probably only with gift cards. 

My pictures do not do the tacos justice.

Steak Egg Roll - DELICIOUS!

Tator Tots - a little dry

Mine: The Bang Bang (too dry, my only no repeat),
The Hell Yeah, The Gangsta,

Hubby's: The Sugar Daddy of the Plain Jane,
The Happy Meal, The Happy Pappy

#FridayFinds - China Moon

We have been on a mission to find a Chinese Restaurant that has black pepper chicken...
I guess that I forgot to put out to the universe that it should be good black pepper chicken...
My Bad!

We headed to Walton, KY to try China Moon.  Yes, they had black pepper chicken.  No, it wasn't good.
The other dishes were good, and we will probably go back, but we definitely won't be having black pepper chicken again.

#FridayFinds - Paris Baguette Bakery Cafe

We went off exploring downtown Cincinnati for lunch and found one that was new to me for lunch.  I had explored there previously for an afternoon coffee/parfait.  I am including pictures from both trips in this post.

I do like this place for their coffee and pastries and will be visiting again.
I'm not sure that I'll return for lunch again though - "toasted" just isn't enough heat for me on the croquettes.

#FridayFinds - Mazunte Centro

Another group lunch - this time for my birthday. And the group was successful in finding a new restaurant for me to try. The food was good, but a bit on the spicey side. If you're in downtown Cincinnati, they are worth a try.

Flan to split for dessert!

#FridayFinds - The Colonel's Creamery

Another dessert find around town.  I will say that I have sampled ice cream directly off of the production line (before it is froze) and there is nothing like it.  This place obviously makes their own ice cream as it was very similar to the "off of the production line" sample.

The ice cream was delicious, but I will admit the flavors were always the traditional ones.  Hubby had a hard time finding one to try that he thought he would like.

I didn't note what we tried, but at least you get to "see it". :)





Closer look at the bottom scoop in the cup.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Cordado

One of our traditional team lunches has found a repeat for us.  In fact, as I am just now getting caught up on posting - we have been there multiple times and I'm combining all of the trips into this one post.

I am now a reward card holder and if I stand up and say "Tacos?" in the office, everyone knows where I mean, and a few will jump on board with a "What Time?"

#FridayFinds - Incline Public House

Back to our traditional, monthly team lunches.  This one was for a birthday and since we had a meeting away from the office, we were able to try somewhere not in downtown.

The food was good, the service was great, the view was amazing...


Cranberry Mule
(non-alcoholic)
Cobb Salad - great

Brussel Sprouts - needed some help,
I had to ask for some sauce

Free birthday surprise for the birthday girl

#FridayFinds - Red Fox GRILL

Ok, so this wasn't a scheduled, traditional group lunch... But I was hungry and forgot my packed lunch at home, so I headed to a spot that the rest of the team goes to often (yes, they tagged along to). 

It was a nice walk from the office and good food that hit the spot when I just need to get away from laptop for a while. 


I'm not a huge fan of French Fries - but these were pretty good!

(Messy, but yummy)
