    You're paying for the views, and the experience of a revolving resaurant. As of 2026, they no longer have crepes and prime rib during breakfast, but the price is the same. We won't be back again.

    Way way over priced filet mignon sucked with no flavor and Dry, ribs was pretty good. I will never come back again for $190. I could go to Jeff Ruby‘s and get good food.

    I used to really love brunch at 18 at the Radisson. But they've gone down hill in just the last few months. The prime rib and crepe stations are now gone permanently. Today, they didn't have iced tea or black hot tea. Most of the plates at the buffet were dirty. It's always been an odd mix of fancy and not-at-all fancy brunch - with a few great items and a lot of bad stuff. Now it's just the bad stuff. I got powdered scrambled eggs, a plain biscuit, a plain pancake, and a waffle. There was also a lovely small omelet station, but that wasn't enough to save the breakfast. The view is wonderful, but it's just not remotely worth the price or the trip over. The quality of the food is similar to just a holiday inn continental breakfast at this point - not something I'd recommend unless it's convenient and you're already staying at the hotel.

    It was a fun dining experience, simply viewing the city lights while revolving. However, the service was not bad but not great either. The same should be said about the food, too. It was just okay. And for the prices it should be better. It's grossly overpriced for the food that's served. I would recommend going, but only for the ambience and the revolving dining experience

    We went to Eighteen at the Radisson to enjoy the view for “blink.” The view, as always, outstanding.

    The service was wonderful. I could tell they have a light staff so they pace out the tables to allow people to enjoy the views. I recommend going with the mindset that you’re there to enjoy the view and the company you’re with. The pace is slower on purpose given the uniqueness of the restaurant.

    We specifically chose the restaurant so we could see many Blink activities from above in both Cincinnati and Covington and it was perfect! Our server was excellent and we enjoyed the food and the ability to talk without shouting. The rotating room was fabulous.

    Good service, awesome views, food was pretty good, but nowhere near good enough to match the price point. You’re paying for the view.

    The views were amazing, however the food was not worth the money. Very small portions and mediocre taste. The server was not attentive at all.
