Centennial Park West
2024 Dec 04
Given the size of this park, when you park your vehicle or entering on foot from a different side it normally gave to you a different point of view of the park.
The west side offers a large parking lot and basketball court , restroom, baseball field, and more.
As for today’s weather , it’s ice ice baby 🥶
Moerlein Lager House

We stubbled up to this place while walking around the OH river, and so glad we did.

Spacious restaurant with comfortable large windows all around. Bright ambiance and friendly service.

Truly enjoyed the beer flight, Moerlein beer tasted great, and I got to try local brews.

We have a full slab of ribs with fries, the ribs were easily taken off bones and supper yummy; fries were very well seasoned and delicious. We also tried the onion rings after recommended by the waitress, it was not bad, but compared to fries, we definitely preferred fries.

From front staff to waitress, services were attentive and considerate.

Convenient parking garages near by. Parking fee goes between $5 - $13 depending on how many hours you need. Game time parking fees are charged whenever the stadiums hosting games and events. And when that happens, the area does get crowded.

Highly recommend @WindDinenVacay
We celebrated our daughter’s birthday here recently and enjoyed some high quality and delicious food and drinks. From wagyu beef carpaccio, smoked old fashion, to bone in steak, 4 cheese Mac & cheese, and more were all super delicious and cooked to the perfection .

Classy interior with a gentle ambiance.

But…I wouldn’t say, personally, that I had a good time, & here is why:

Service wise, Our server did everything he supposed to m. He brought out a complementary birthday dessert for our daughter when it was time, in addition to the banana frost we ordered . but he also has been doing things that were so subtle, he probably didn’t even realize it, that made me feel very uncomfortable.

1st, as i was checking out the Rare Spirit drinks menu, he said something like this “ these are very expensive drinks, why don’t you look at the ones on the other menu” and closed the rare menu then pulled the bigger menu in front of me. 🤨

2nd, After he brought my smoked old-fashioned to the table, without saying anything, he walked right off to bring things to another table, then he came back around and said to me “YOU could’ve taken the drink out by yourself”, as a travel food blogger, based on my experience the waiter always take the drink out of the smoke box for the customer, especially for a high-end steakhouse like this. This was a first to me. 🤦🏻‍♀️

3rd, when he was making the Irish Coffee, he was rushing to put out the fire on the sugar cube by using anything he could find on the table without considering if it was sanitary or not 😔… seriously, what was the rush.

4th, this waiter never had a smile on his face and has been rushing the whole he was serving us, despite we were the very first customers for that day, there was no other table when we first arrived. There were no small talks like most the high-end restaurant waiters will do. I certainly understand it’s not required, but it is a unwritten etiquette.

@WineDinenVacay do recommend this restaurant to all steak lovers & foodies, at the same time….Highly recommend management to conduct staff retraining on appropriate service etiquettes in settings like this.
One of our favorite toy stores in time square . Great size, and location.
Friendly customer service.
Located right in Time Square Very convenient.

Love the seasonal new characters
Price range from $$ - $$$. But if you are a big fan of Line friends , then it’s worthwhile it.

Convenient location with a beautiful Lakeview.
Mass selection of hot bar, sushi, Pre-cooked food, and bakeries.
Clean store, friendly staff .
We love to come by weekly for some healthy choices of food.
They do have a quite large size of parking lot.
However, due to the popularity of this store, even parking lot of this size stillstill filled up quite quickly.
