Habits Cafe

The lovely Robin and I joined our old friend Ted (and I do mean old) for dinner tonight at Habits Cafe on Madison Road on Oakley Square (in Cincinnati). We loved the ambiance of the place, very "neighborhoody," and were seated instantly upon entering around 5:45 on a Saturday evening.

The Habits Cafe website describes it as "a great neighborhood Bar and Grill located on the east side of Cincinnati in the heart of Oakley Square." They boast what they call "a robust and full menu including our signature appetizer Potato Rags, Burgers ground fresh daily from a local prime butcher, massive orders of Fish and Chips, Desserts and an extensive Dinner Menu that changes as the year goes on....We also stock a killer beer cooler [and] a nice little wine list."

I loved my order--a Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken, leafy greens, craisins, red onions, nuts, and a balsamic dressing. Robin had "Mama's vegetable soup" and grilled cheese, and Ted had a steak salad. 

The service and food were both excellent, and well worth a return visit. Habits Cafe is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. It is located at 3036 Madison Road.
