Some of Cincinnatis best wings! We came in for their wing special on Wednesday and tried several different sauces: maple bacon, tequila lime, jalapeno honey, and the root beer glaze with pecan brittle. They were all amazing! And the wings themselves were cooked perfectly. Service was friendly. A new favorite of ours!

Been coming here for years and I can honestly say the smoked wings are the best wings I’ve ever had period. Smoked to perfection every time and every flavor is to die for. Super crispy as well. Love this place. And again just get the wings and be happy. Always friendly staffPs. The beer cheese is to die for.

Sooo good. Easily the best wings in the city (but everything is delicious). Great wine and beer selection. Terrific friendly accommodating staff. Not just a neighborhood restaurant. Highly recommended.

Very nice location and atmosphere. The grilled romaine salad and beer cheese were delicious . Many beer options on tap. This place is attached to a store where you can buy wine . There is an option to bring your wine purchase into the restaurant . Great experience .

Service was great - food was alright but forgettable. The best item was the sweet potato fries. We went for lunch so we didnt try the wine/beer selection which appears to be varied.

Been stopping here bout 2 times a month for almost 10 years now...and this place seems to just get better and BETTER!!! Covid has knocked out some of my favorite dishes but this just gives me an excuse to try something new. The Chicken Parm is amazing (always a stellar cook) but for a limited time they have pan-seared BARAMUNDI (thicker whitefish), which is what made me want to write this review. Hope to see everyone there...dont pass on the beer cheese!!!

LOVED Dilly.! Went for dinner — great menu and good wine selection. Reasonable prices and yummy food. They also have live music, which adds to the atmosphere! Relaxed yet fancy vibe. 10/10 recommend 😄

Food was outstanding! There were five of us and each chose a different entree. Loved the Grilled Romaine with shrimp, Korean Steak Tacos, and House Smoked Wings especially. So grateful you are open and what you and your team have done to make it possible. Best wishes!

Had a pleasant surprise to find they had a date night option for only $45. You go to split an appetizer/salad, two main dishes, and dessert. The food was spot on and I absolutely loved the beet gnocchi.

Heard great things about this place and was somewhat let down.The food was good, I had heard their wings where some of the best around, they’re pretty good and the prices are fair.What really ruined the experience for me was how dirty the place was, they have wooden tables with a sheet of glass over them and underneath the glass you can see all sorts of food crumbs, I’m sure the glass is clean but it’s still not very appetizing to see everyone else’s crumbs right under your food... even their walls where dirty, the place looks very unorganized and it’s ruins the atmosphere.I was there at what I assume is a busy time for them so service was a bit slow but overall I guess they did the best they could.I realize restaurants are dealing with limited capacity and other issues during these times, but that’s not an excuse not to clean up.

This used to be, hands down, my favorite place to frequent in quaint Mariemont. The outside patio, nicely landscaped is always the preference for my al fresco nature. The food is very good, offering many delicious healthy choices. I was in the mood for their Black Bean Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. This veggie burger is the best Ive had anywhere! I just ask them to add dill pickles to mine. The crab cakes or salmon or meatloaf are also wonderful choices! So, these are the not so great things I must mention to be fair: Co-vid has hurt the restaurant business and everyone is short-staffed. Dillys is no exception. They never answer the phone anymore, so knowing if theres no wait or a 2 hour wait is impossible. I miss the live entertainment, which was always good and which took this place a notch above Dillys worthy competitors (like Quarter Bistro, Emery, or National Exemplary). The staff isnt as friendly, the patio isnt as pristine. Just little things that make you realize its going to take awhile for this little gem to bring back its polish. But, Im still a fan, waiting patiently for normal to return.

Always a great time at Dilly Bistro. The barramundi special was out of this world, always so great to have great options from around the world expertly prepared in our own little town. Atmosphere is what always has us coming back to Dilly. The staff is amazing and kind as well as very professional, and they have taken to COVID quite well. Though the inside seating is limited the pace of service allowed for short wait times. They have child friendly food options and some VERY yummy cocktails. Dilly is always a great dinner choice for our family.

Review №38

Just left the Dilly Bistro a little while ago. Thomas was the best server we’ve ever had there! Very attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating.The reason for just 4 stars is the food. I used to order the hummus all the time. The pita bread was always soft, warm and “fluffy”. Now it’s cold, hard and dry. I could swear there used to be more veggies served with it but now just a few slices of cucumber.The veggie burger also looked dry and over cooked.We’ve noticed a general slight decline in the food we’ve ordered lately. I don’t know if others have experienced this. I’m writing this review in the hope that they see it and get back on it!The restaurant is a great location with ambiance, music and local flavor. Please bring the food back to its original quality!

Really love the location, outdoor seating, and beer selection. Service is hit or miss from the 20+ times we’ve been. Brought my wife and two daughters there today and it took us one hour before we got our food and the restaurant was more than half empty (we ordered a chicken sandwich and BLT...). Doesn’t bode well at all when you have little kids. Something seems to be seriously wrong with the kitchen. There are too many other great restaurants in the area to give this a try again. Sorry Dilly... not sorry.

This was the second time here. Its not fancy or pretentious, but the food is so darned good. The salad didnt have much dressing, but it didnt really even need it because of the taste from the toppings. Both steaks I had here were probably the best Ive eaten, and my wife felt the same about her food. The Jazz music in the background was a nice touch too. Even our server was fun and friendly. We absolutely love this place!

This was the first time I had been back in a few years, before the remodel. The building is larger than I remember, with plenty of seats and a side bottle shop. Nice decor, space to move around, but maybe a tad lacking on the TVs.The beer selection was top notch with a few local crafts and a wide selection of others from around the country that typically arent available around here. I even walked out with a hard to find 4-pack.I thought the food was delicious and plentiful. Wide selection of different types of food as well. Service was quick and attentive. I will definitely be back.

Hidden gem! I had never heard of Dilly when my friend suggested it for dinner. The menu was surprisingly well done. Each menu item was served with well thought out accompaniments. Nothing was thrown together or an after-thought. Every detail of each meal had purpose. The goat cheese appetizer and Korean steak tacos were both delicious. The bar serves imaginative drinks and the wine list is impressive.

Went for the wing Wednesday and the wings are ok. Waiter was slow and inattentive. Brought me wings I didnt ask for with a nasty sauce on it. Know for a fact I didnt order blue berry hot wings. When I told the waiter about it he just said yeah you did and put them on the table. Took 20 minutes to get another drink. Normally this wouldnt be a big deal but it wasnt very busy.Maybe the other menu items are good? Not sure Id bother to return after that experience.

We went to get drinks at the bar, but we were ignored. We got our own menus and watched three different couples sit at the bar and get service before someone even looked our way. We kept trying to get service and were putting our coats on to leave before someone actually asked if we wanted anything. I was not impressed with our first experience at this restuarant.

Review №67

Have been there in the past and food was acceptable; nothing memorable. Found myself looking for a place to grab a bite between movies at Mariemont theater. Young hostess told me it would be quite some time before a table would be available - despite the fact that there were multiple single tables visibly open (I didnt see any indication of people waiting in line & there were open seats at the bar). There were open tables outdoors. Her flippant attitude left a bad taste in my mouth. There are plenty other dining options within walking distance, I would suggest patronizing one of those restaurants; I wont be returning.

Review №71

First off, my wife and I have always enjoyed Dilly. Weve had very good food and the atmosphere has been fun. Tonight was an exception.For context, the last time we were there I ordered the Dilly burger and asked for jalapeno peppers on the burger. The server came back after we ordered and said that there out of jalapenos....bummer, but it happens.So tonight I first asked the server if they had fresh jalapenos just to be sure prior to ordering. The server came back and said yes, we do have fresh jalapenos tonight, but the cook wasnt taking special orders. Hmm, I didnt realize that adding jalapenos to a burger was special.....or all that difficult. Although I was confused by that answer, (the server apologized and said, yeah, I dont understand it either), I went ahead and ordered the burger without the jalapenos....my wife ordered the asparagus and shrimp salad with the dressing on the side. Away the server went to enter the order. The burger was right, but the salad came with the dressing on top; not on the side. My wife tried the salad even with the dressing on it, but decided she did want the dressing on the side. The server said no problem and brought a new salad out. However, the asparagus and shrimp were cold by that time. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. Not sure well be back.

Went there last week with my husband and our 2 kids. Food was okay. Service was slow and inattentive had to ask for my drink to be refilled multiple times, but I went to change our 6 month old in the bathroom and realized they did not have changing tables. I’ve never been to a store or restaurant that didn’t have changing tables in the restroom. I had to change my baby on the bathroom floor. It really put me off of what have been a nice dinner out. Restaurants with children’s menus should have changing tables. We will not be back.

If you have an entire day to waste at a restaurant than this is the place for you! The food is okay but service is terrible and the management is even worse. I waited for a two item. pick up order for over 35 minutes [50 total] at the store the restaurant was maybe half full. The manager aimlessly wondered around the restaurant and while her kitchen floundered to fill orders. It is honestly laughable how slow this restaurant can be at times. The have a great wine and beer selection but other than that, everything else is quite lacking.

Pub burger was absolutely fantastic, and both of my friends also really enjoyed their entrees. Fries were nicely seasoned as well and very crispy. Out door seating was a nice touch, especially given how nice the area is.Service was very friendly and quick. Nothing to complain about at all.I ordered key lime pie as a dessert, and I am unsure if they brought me their house made cheesecake (in which case, it was a VERY delicious, lightly lime-zested cheesecake with a lovely raspberry sauce) or if their key lime pie is just no where close to an actual key lime pie. Tasty, but definitely not what I was expecting.Definitely will be going back, though.

The Dilly Deli is one of my favorite restaurants near my office. I had the Ahi tuna sandwich, others enjoyed the salmon burger. The sweet potato fries were nicely done. They were crisp and not overly salty. The tuna was seared on the outside with an aioli mayo and arugula. I think that the others in my group enjoyed the salmon burgers. Ive had them before and would order it again. The other person had a burger and fries. Looked to be tasty. The deli had a great selection of beers. It had lots of wine, but I dont know much about wine. Definitely with visiting.
