Bauer Farm Kitchen

Cool atmosphere... Outstanding service and amazing food. I strongly recommend the house salad and the scallops... Bauer definitely deserves 5 star... however the staff went above & beyond and made us feel special! I have just arrived in Cincinnati with my wife and 15 month daughter... they quickly setup a table and prepared an amazing mac & cheese for my daughter... that is a 10 star in my book...

The thumping sound of music greeted us when we arrived. However, as we settled in, the loud sound is no longer an issue! The service was great and not intrusive. The foods were brought out timely. We enjoyed the warm breads, mushroom soups (the hint of puffed wild rice was nice), and dumpling soup. I tried the Bauer White Old Fashioned and it didn't wow me. My wife enjoyed her Bavarian Manhattan and our daughter-in-law liked her Saignee 75. The ratatouille was very good and beautifully presented. The Babushka Pierogies dish was excellent. I ordered the Choucroute Garnie: the sauerkrauts was very good, the accompanied sausage was moist, the boned-in country pork rib was a bit disappointed as it was dried. We asked if the chef was available for a chat and was told that the restaurant is too busy for him to come out (the place was about half full on a Friday night!). Overall, it was a good visit and warranted a 4 out of 5 stars.

I had my first visit to this restaurant and it was a great experience. The food is very good. I had the chance to try their cheese platter, dumpling soup (very good), and their pork chop, which was quite delicious. The service was very attentive. They have a really nice beer and cocktail list. They have a lot of German beers that you can't really find anywhere else. The only knock on the restaurant may be the atmosphere. They do a great job with what they have but there is only so much that can be done when you're located on the bottom floor of an office building. I will definitely be returning.
