The food and service were top notch. The issue lies with the high top tables in the bar area. The bar stools for the tables are very short (or the tables are high), especially for women. Whoever bought those did not sit in them. I’m 6’5” and even felt short. Sit at a table.

We visited for our Anniversary on a Monday evening. The dining room was not loud and noisy - perfect background for dinner. Our server, Samantha, was very attentive and helped us with some great choices on the menu. The sides are huge - more than enough to share for 2. We were able to try and share 3 sides. Filet was cooked to perfection!! And a delicious cheesecake treat for dessert!

Raised in Japan, rooted in Cincinnati, Suzu is Japanese neighborhood dining at its best. Suzu means bell in Japanese and the shared experience of a sounding bell is the idea behind everything we do, through food and hospitality made to be felt—not just served—and always shared with the people around you. Come prepared to enjoy an old favorite dish or discover something new, all while spending time with those who matter most.Please note, Omakase counter will open at a later date. Current reservation book is open for Suzu's dining room.

The $39 value meal was excellent. Was able to fill all my needs w/a glass of wine, entre and a dessert. Wish a Cabernet was part of the deal.
