Was Cass at Khora a mag?
Overall experience was good. Great place to hang out with friends. Only recommendation is to provide more servers. The bartender tried to assist those that were on the patio but as the night became busier, he was not able to provide adequate service, leaving a couple of my guests very disappointed. Please provide more staff to serve and take orders and then you'll start see more 5 stars. I hope t his recommendation i... View all feedback.
What GARY ESTRADA dislikes about Khora:
There isn't any indication that you have to walk up to the bar to order food and drinks. We waited several minutes at the table and no one explained the process. Why would you not have servers take orders from the table? It looks upscale but it is run like a fast food restaurant. View all feedback.

Fantastic food and service. The team here really gets it. They go out of their way to make sure your experience is top notch.
Staff is beyond wonderful. Engaging with guests that loved that, peaceful with those there just for the ambiance. Drinks consistent and delicious, and the carrot salad was perfect and just as described. Roxanne and their manager I didn?t catch thename of (sadly) were both wonderful.
Such great experience with unique food at Khora. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The service was great and the dishes were things I have never tried before. A great evening in a cozy and quiet dining atmosphere. Our server walked usthrough the menu and highlighted dishes that they recommended and which were lighter or heavier. Everything we tried wasamazing.
Excellent post matinee show dinner. Quiet spot off the busy area. Food was interesting and delicious. Service was great!
This was our first visit to Khora while in Cincinnati with a large group, and everyone was delighted with their entire meal. The Black Bass stood out as the highlight, perfectly cooked and tasting incredible. Our pasta dishes were outstanding, with flawless presentation. Our server, Alex, was professional and engaging, making the experience even better. The appetizers were fantastic, but the dessert pastry was truly exceptional—bursting with amazing flavor. We believe it was crafted by the pastry chef Meghan. Drinks and wine were excellent, and the atmosphere made for a perfect dinner. Thank you!

This restaurant was nothing like what was advertised. Located at the top of a hotel with no servers, it was very disappointing. The atmosphere was chaotic, with a loud party in progress and people screaming throughout the entire meal. I would recommend not wasting your time dining here.
The service and presentation at this restaurant are excellent, but the food was not satisfying. Both the gnocchi pasta and chicken ramen pasta seemed to be missing something in the flavor department. Despite this, I would still consider returning to try a different dish.
Do you need an oasis? Do you you crave an extra ordinary change in your palate? It was a Saturday night and I sought refuge from the downtown throng at Khora in the Kinley Hotel. Once seated I reveled in the smart decor and velvety ambiance. The charming staff members were prompt and engaging. I selected a squash soup and chocolate custard that actually paired quite nicely. They were both carefully prepared and just what I needed for the late hour. Frankly, I didn't want to leave, but I had to get to my next appointment. I did so with the warmth of Khora tucked inside my soul.
What a nice little secret this place is, it's amazing it's not packed. Beautiful decor. The food was great with fantastic vegetarian options. The cocktails were top notch. Lakin took great care of us, thanks!
Food ok but underwhelming experience. A) we ordered a bottle of wine but didn’t get a chance to taste, it was served right way…the main dish we’re told that was enough to share and not ordered more and honestly we were still hungry. We wanted to order one of the only 2 available desserts options on the menu and we’re told that our choice was out. Really????

This restaurant lost its way since the team has gone. tragically, as always, if the bookkeepers do not understand how long it takes to make a restaurant, it is choked in a pandemic. the quality has fallen significantly.
The brunch experience was ah-mazing! the food was delish, the service superb and the energy of kinley hotel cincinati was a whole mood!
Eating here is excellent as the service. they have a limited menu, but everything we tried was so delicious! one of my top 5 culinary experiences of all time, the best scaloping dish I've ever tasted. I can't wait to bring friends.
Thank you Alex for the great service! Food was amazing! Zach was very accommodating we couldn’t have been happier! Can’t wait to go back!
Visited for our anniversary simply, the food, drinks, and service were all perfect. My wife is still dreaming about the dessert. We are recommending Khora to anyone who will listen!
