Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We loved this restaurant! The food was excellent! The workers were friendly and accommodating. The restaurant offers chilled water, still water, and carbonated water that you can fill yourself. The carbonated water was a nice touch with my salad, and my salad was amazingly good...- perfect combination! Our daughter ordered the fries, and we all tried them - small & crispy - they were perfect! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his omelet. The atmosphere is very nice as well! We highly recommend this restaurant!More

The lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious! It would be nice to have a one pancake option because they're large pancakes.

Had my first visit over the weekend for breakfast and just about everything exceeded my expectations. Great staff, very attentive and customer focused. I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl which was really filling. Everything was fresh and locally sourced. The hummus and lavash chips were fantastic....I can't wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu, especially the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.More

Disappointing and dirty. Floor was so sticky and bathroom was not clean. Cobb salad was full of iceberg filler lettuce.

Fantastic room, friendly people, great prices, beautiful space. I have been here twice. I was staying at the Hyatt downtown, and this place is very close. I tried it and loved it. Went back again and love it even more. Great food. Really reasonable prices....Friendly staff. Beautiful space. Try the hash and the pancakes and the avocado club and the juices and coffee. You won’t be disappointed.More

I had two breakfast’s here during travels. From the gorgeous pancakes and sausage to lemon Hummus and chicken skewers. A great value and beautifully appointed space. I appreciate the fact that you can get what mights be considered “lunch” food at breakfast time.

Food was terrific. Have been there for both lunch and breakfast. The hash browns were my favorite from the Eggs Your Way, and the coffee was good with almond milk available. The lemon ricotta pancakes were also great. Comfortable decor. Servers checked on us multiple...times. Highly recommend!More

Stopped here for brunch. It was delicious. It’s a fast casual restaurant…you order at the counter and they bring it to you. The lemon ricotta pancakes were excellent. My husband said his hash browns were the best he’s ever had. They have a full bar...as well as coffee bar and cold pressed juices.More

Excellent hash. They were able to make it without an ingredient that was an allergy concern. The jam was amazing on the multi-grain toast! Very friendly staff!

We couldn't wait to get back to this eatery on our return to Cincy post covid. The environment was beautiful as always with trendy decor and spacious dining area. We LOVED their bloody mary's previously but this time unfortunately bland with no personal touch considering...its their homemade recipe. We remembered a much more farm to table flavor/presentation both with this drink and food. The avocado toast was all that remained in flavor and satisfaction. Definitely hesitant to return. Service was still great with friendly staff and clean space.More

Upon entering Maplewood, we were greeted by the nicest young man, Rob. He was super friendly and explained the ordering process to us, since this was our first visit. Everything was served hot and delicious. I loved their goetta; it was sliced just right with...perfect thickness. The brainstorm coffee was excellent. However, the highlight of our breakfast was the Mimosa and Bloody Mary. This was the biggest Bloody Mary I'd ever seen and my Mimosa was served with an edible orchid. The edible orchid was a first for me, so I tried it. The manager, Tasha stopped by our table and chatted with us for several minutes. She was an absolute delight and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her.More

It was our first time here and we will definitely be back! We did wait for about 20-25 minutes to get to the counter and order (they do have menus to view while you wait and a good selection of music playing in the meantime)....Then, we were assigned to our table and our food arrived pretty quickly! The food was definitely worth the wait! I had a burger and fries and my husband had pancakes, sausage links, toast squares, and scrambled eggs. It was delicious! We were full for about 12 hours after our meal!More

The service was excellent, food was delicious. My husband had the Maplewood omelet, and it was delicious. I had scrambled eggs and hash Browns. The fresh orange juice was fabulous!! The only negative was that, although the menu indicates gluten free and vegetarian options, they...had no GF bread.More
