Found on a list called "25 Hidden Bars, Lounges and Speakeasies in Cincinnati" we stumbled into Mid City Restaurant where we felt very at home in. Upon walking it, we were greeted by a friendly host who helped us find a seat at the bar. The spot was pretty crowded and jumping this cold Friday night in January but you warm right up as soon as you sit down.
Friendly service awaits you as you browse through the menu of cocktails, wine, beer, and food. Naturally, when I'm having drinks, I don't tend to look at the food menu but I saw a couple of things that really piqued my interest so I had to try.
FOOD:
The Mid City pPlate: Sausage, pork belly, potatoes, and sauerkraut. Are we in northern Ohio/PA? Because this a dish straight from that region! Delicious and heartwarming. The pork belly and sauce was the star for me!
Beef Tongue Skewer: Feeling pretty toasty (thank you Manhattan!) I'm ready to try something new. Ordered the tongue and wow! So tender. So different. It was perfect. I'd totally order it again. I loved the slaw that came with it as well (pssst, I usually HATE slaw but this was delicious). A great dish. Give it a try.
Potato Croquette: ooooo. YUM. Soft, pillowy, saucy little bites of heaven. Topped with garlic and nori... I could eat you everyday. Love!
Lastly, the Brussel Sprouts. I'm not even sure if this is on the menu but it was a special dish complementary from the kitchen. I think they heard us moaning with every bite of our food that they felt obligated to serve us more lol! I TOLD you the service was amazing!!! What a crew! Thank you for letting us try this because it was one to remember. Made with crunchy tempura, such a great crunch and flavor in this dish. Seriously delicious.
My Manhattan drink was perfect but what I'll always remember is the food. I loved the atmosphere as well. I highly recommend this for drinks and especially food! Enjoy!
