Good food. Fun space. Easy access to the Banks activities. Pizzas were terrific. Tables turned quickly. Reservation recommended
My friend and I had been here before for lunch and it was good, but the dinner let's talk about it. AMAZING!!!! I got the Cajun pasta and my friend got the chicken Milanese. Both were so so so delicious. We started dinner off with a Caesar salad and let me just say... best Caesar salad I have ever had! Our server Trinity I think is her name was awesome!! 10/10 hit the mark both times I have been.
Food was very good. Nice selection across the board. Chicken sandwich was amazing. Great appetizers, especially the pretzels. Enjoyed a great selection of beers. Lots of screens to watch games.
I had been here twice in the past year with my parents, and both times we all LOVED the atmosphere and food. Because of this, I decided the Filson would be the perfect place to host my mom's retirement / birthday party... and boy did I make the right choice! The staff at the Filson was so accommodating and helpful with the booking process. Brittany answered all of my emails and questions behind the scenes, David (the manager at the Filson) was remarkable with making sure we had a space for our party, putting all of the details into our party notes, and being so responsive to my calls throughout the whole process of planning this event! On the day of the event, Kiona (sp?) was the best server! We arrived 45 minutes early, and despite the place being busy due to a Bengals game, our space was set up and the restaurant was ready to help us in any way we needed! Everything went smoothly, our guests loved the atmosphere, raved about the food, and commented about how great the staff was numerous times. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend them a million times over for larger events / dinner parties!!
Made a reservation online. However, I hate being placed in the tiny tables on the busy floor. It was a Friday night, though, so it was pretty full. Our server was cool and professional. Unfortunately, they didn't have any martini glasses, and my drink came out as it did in the photo. It was still tasty. I ordered the wings with Grippo's seasoning. Man, that was life-changing. Nice addition to the banks!
