Went with a colleague on business expenses. She ordered a fillet mignon medium and it was tough and well done. I ordered the rib eye medium rare that that could kindly be called medium raw.

We went to the South Beach Grill for a retirement celebration, and everything was incredible. We had a nice table by the window where some of us could see the Cincinnati skyline and some could see the sunset (sort of ).

My boyfriend brought me to the waterfront for a romantic date. I thought it was great, until i began eating the lobster tail i had ordered. It was horrible. I didn't say anything when I was there, but i didn't eat more than a quarter of it. I think you could eat at any causual restaurant such as Applebees or... more
