Margaritaville

I decided to finally visit the casino this weekend. Being from Cinci I am very excited to have this new addition to our town. Pulling up to the casino the first thing that caught my eye was the Margaritaville neon lights. I decided right away we would dine there before our gambling experience.
Approaching Margaritaville from inside the casino I instantly saw a women dressed in Hawaiian attire on stilts, she was making funny balloon hats for the people inside.
My husband and I were greeted right away and told it was going to be an hour wait. We were given a buzzer and decided to go to the bar for a drink.
The bar was very crowded but we were able to sit at a table at the bar.
The waitress came came over very quickly and asked if we would like her to turn our buzzer in! We were just gonna sit and wait on our table but were very happy to learn you can have full service at the bar tables.
Our waitress gave us her favorites and also told us what the popular things in the menu were among guests.
She talked me into the blue fin drink in a souvineer cup that looked like a blender and my husband got the guest favorite "uptown" margarita.
We both loved our drinks and decided the uptown was one of the best Margaritas we had ever had.
For our appetizer we got the fried pickles (also our servers favorite) and conch fritters.
The pickles were crunchy and delicious as well as the fritters.
We were so full already but couldn't pass up the Nacho burger. This is not usually on the menu but she said she had eaten it 3 times in the week they were testing it.
This burger was the messy, big and full of delicious flavor! I never thought sour cream on a burger would taste so good!
I give Margaritaville a 5 out of 5 stars!
I was so surprised to see the negative comments on here and had to share my wonderful experience.
We loved it so much that after gambling for a few hours we went back for 2 more uptown's and enjoyed the live band.
We will be back!!

Margaritaville is thoroughly mediocre.  We joined some friends for dinner at Margaritaville on a Friday night because we really were in the mood for you guessed it, margaritas.  They have oodles of margarita-type drinks on their menu and we all ordered different ones.  The drinks weren't very good and overpriced.  All of the drinks were way too sweet with not enough alcohol.  We ordered some appetizers and the only one that stood out was the nachos and that's because one order was enough to feed all 8 people at the table with some leftover.  No one had anything spectacular to say about the food.  A couple people ordered burgers and wish they would have not wasted the calories on them.  I had the fish tacos and they were just okay.  Overall no one was impressed with the food or drinks.  Service was good though.  There are too many other decent restaurants in Cincinnati to whom I would rather give my money.

Great! It's new because of the Casino, but the service was great! Alisha treated my boyfriend and I well, making great drink and food suggestions. There's a Mango Rita with a sugar rim which is great if you like sweet and the uptown is definitely decent on a day of hard work. I had the nachos... I should have invited more friends because its definitely a meal for four or five. My boyfriend had the BBQ bacon cheese burger and onion rings and he said it was pretty good and filling. There was also a live band that sang great covers, unfortunately I can't remember the bands name and the restaurant rotates bands throughout the week.
