Tēla Bar + Kitchen 1212 Springfield Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45215

"I really like how everything here is locally sourced. Our server was hospitable and informative about the menu selection. The Nightosphere drink I ordered was very good, but it took a long time for our drinks to finally come out. I liked the flavor of the wings I ordered, but they were a bit overdone. I'm looking forward to trying something else on the menu, such as the burgers or a Reuben . Overall, I enjoyed my lunch here, and will try Tēla Bar+ Kitchen again in the near future."

"We have been here quite a few times at this point and it is one of our go-to places for dinner when we have friends in town or don't want to cook at home. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great - upbeat and interesting but not loud and obnoxious. Service is always good, as well. When we first started coming here the menu had more options for vegetarians (and it's still a veggie-friendly place, for sure!) but a few options that we liked have disappeared. That hasn't stopped us from eating here regularly though. This is a truly unique place where you can eat for not a lot of money, or go upscale and really get a meal to remember. I look forward to seeing what the Tela crew cooks up in the future."

"Best meal I had all year! I got a wild-caught salmon sandwich that had a fun name and delicious sauce, GF bun and unique fries. Waiter answered all my questions, happily going to the kitchen if he wasn't sure of the answer. I was sad to see it wasn't super busy on a Friday night but that meant my group didn't feel the need to leave. It's a cool vibe there. The chairs aren't cushioned but I'm young and don't care. Prices were a little high but fitting for the quality of food if you ask me. Give it a go! I parked on the street but I imagine they had a lot somewhere maybe."

"We dined on a Tuesday night with another couple from West Chester. It was everyone's first time. It was a beautiful night, so we were able to sit outside. Our server was Hunter, and he did a nice job. I had two of the Mexican Cousin margaritas and they were wonderful. My wife had the Old Fashioned and loved it. We started with the Drunken Mussels. The mussels were cooked perfectly, but the broth was very thin and didn't have a lot of flavor compared to other mussel dishes in the city. I wouldn't order them again. We then ordered the River's Rising salmon sandwich with a side wedge salad, and Sweethaven salad with feta instead of goat cheese. Wow! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the wedge salad was very good. The Sweethaven salad came with goat cheese, so I had to send it back for one with feta. I'm not sure if the first salad had as many ingredients as the second one, but that one had tons of cheese, walnuts, and cranberries. I would order this over and over. Our companions had the Jardin salad with shrimp and the Cemita fried chicken sandwich. They were disappointed that 3 shrimp were an extra $6, and I noticed that the chicken sandwich was pretty small (however our friend didn't complain at all). We all liked the atmosphere of the place, both inside and out. We all agreed to return and tell our friends all about it!"

"I loved this place! Our waitress was awesome, and the food was great! Loved the Phish and Dead vibe. The Billy Strings music playing was killer also! The forest's tasty nectar shoot."
