First time here and it didn’t disappoint. Wasn’t busy when we came for lunch so it was pretty calm and seated quickly. Ordered the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and oh my gosh, I was shocked at how delicious they are! Then ordered the chicken & waffles, SO GOOOD! Syrup was so good, the honey butter was amazing. Everything tasted so good, can’t wait to go back
We came here for Sunday brunch based on our neighbors recommendation. They were kind enough to let us in a little bit early as it was cold and windy outside. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was tasty.
Recently stopped here before catching Hamilton at the Aronoff center! We made reservations the night before and were able to snag the perfect time to line up with our show. Nicholson’s is location directed across the street from the Aronoff and within a short walking distance of Fountain Square and the Contemporary Art Center along with several other fun places making it the perfect spot to grab brunch, lunch or dinner! The atmosphere in the restaurant is incredible and the theming is on par with their menu. Very cozy vibes to go with some hearty comfort food. One thing that drew me to this spot is their themed menu’s for broadway shows that are playing at Aronoff. Of course, they had a special Hamilton menu available during our visit, which made for a unique experience. To start we ordered the Belhaven beer cheese served with pretzels, celery and carrots. You can’t go wrong with cheese dip and this one didn’t disappoint! I went light for my meal and ordered the chicken caesar salad, it was decent. Nothing spectacular, but it did the job. My girlfriend got the traditional breakfast with the banger. She enjoyed her meal and said it hit the spot! A couple other folks at our table ordered the Bonnie Chicken sandwich, which everyone raved about for the rest of the day. Our service was excellent, but it did take a while between ordering, getting our food and the check. The crowd was light when we first arrived, but began to fill up quickly. I recommend making reservations if you’re set on dining here to avoid any type of wait. Even if you don’t want a full meal, this would still be a great spot to grab a beer or drink. I definitely would like to try more items on their menu and I’m sure we’ll make it a tradition to come here before seeing a show at the Aronoff. Check it out if you’re in the area!

Came on Christmas Eve and everyone was dressed up as elves. Super cute. Our server, Jeremy, was knowledgeable and had great recommendations. Came for my partners birthday. The pork belly was to die for! Got the local bourbon flight and it was pretty good. Food was delicious. The smoke and flower drink was pleasant but gave a medicine aftertaste, not bad but just a heads up.
Nicholson's Scottish Pub is one of our favorites. The food is made fresh from scratch (no pre-packaged anything), the service is excellent, the prices are affordable and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. They take reservations and we can count on getting in and out before an Aronoff Show. We visit Nicholson's at least five afternoons every week. It's always a favorite stop on the Riverside Food Tour Streetcar + Findlay Market tour. Guests love the bangers and mash; creamy homemade mashed potatoes, gravy and pork sausage. I's the best comfort food dish!
