The Hard Rock Casino in Cincinnati offers world class gambling, delicious food, and wine.

I am wild about pizza and “Brick’d Pizza” in my opinion has the best pizza in the city. The crust has a nice chew to it and the generous fresh toppings take it to the next level. They also offer salads, baked ziti, soft drinks, parmesan garlic fries, and desserts.

The manager Mr. Larry Santana and his staff offer top notch customer service in a squeaky-clean environment. It’s a great meeting place and the food can be ordered for take-out.

For the High Roller Experience

For a VIP meal “The Green Room” is available for those members with X and Icon Unity rewards. Here you’ll find an uptown modern atmosphere, upscale comfort food, discounted drinks, and the ATM doesn’t have fees.

To have access Icon Unity members and each guest will pay $10 in Unity Points, and X Unity members will receive a complimentary entry.

Santana also manages this restaurant, and “Chef de Cuisine” he goes by K.C. is very talented and prepared fried chicken that reminded me of going to big mamma’s house for Sunday dinner. The crust shattered when I bit into it, moist, hints of garlic oil, and whispers of Rosemary.

Yukon gold mashed potatoes, Cesar salad with homemade dressing, roasted veggies, and chocolate cake. The intimate buffet was clean and organized in every way. 

There is a full bar with wine, cocktails, and spirits galore. 

My chardonnay was slightly oaked with tastes of ripened pineapple.

Other items included: shrimp with penne, cod, dessert treats, and soft drinks.

The menu changes every five days to keep things exciting for guests.

Hard Rock is great for date night because it’s an adult property and you must 21 or older to enter. 

I enjoy an atmosphere without children that way we can have grown folk talk.
