"We were a bit disappointed with the "scenery". I realize that the train tracks are through a section of town that has fallen into disrepair so the view was beyond the control of the Dinner Train. But, overall, it was a lovely evening."

"Dining on the Cincinnati Dinner Train was a very fun event, a unique way to spend an evening dining with friends! All service personnel were happy and helpful and seemed to be having as good a time as we were. The food was very good. I would not call it gourmet, however the prime rib I had was nicely cooked and very flavorful. I was happy with my meal, the drinks, our choices of wine. The 1920's train cars made it easy to imagine yourself a part of another era. The conductor told us about the sites as we made our way to the downtown area and had some interesting things to share with us. I only wish we had done this during the summer so we could have seen more before sunset. We will definitely do this again in the summer."

"It was our first ride on the Cincinnati Dinner Train and we enjoyed it a lot! It was a wonderful and very special way to celebrate Valentine's Day. Long stem roses for ladies were a very nice touch. We enjoyed meeting another couple with whom we shared the table. There were 5 birthdays in our car. As guests had more to drink the level of noise increased, but nobody seemed to mind, as everyone was having a great time. The late time was perfect for the ride, because in the darkness we did not get to see any ugly scenery which was probably there in some places and the view of the river and downtown at night was stunning."

"The Dinner Train experience was a gift from relatives. It was very unique. The waitresses, conductor and servers were friendly and courteous while making us comfortable. Our picture was taken and a long stem rose was presented to my wife for a Valentine Celebration. We were escourted to our seats and were seated with a very nice couple. It was the first time on board for most of us. The dining car was clean and the lights were dimmed at the proper time for atmosphere. The salad was tasty and the main meal was delicious. The dessert of cheesecake was exceptional and presented well. Coffee was plentiful and our drinks were refilled as needed, without the waitress interfering with chatter."

"This was our very first train outing with Cincinnati Dinner Train and we were very pleasantly surprised. The only comment I have is that we were told to be at the BBQ parking lot at 11:00 am: they did not start boarding us until after 12:30. It was a chilly day to sit in the car for that long, but it was worth the wait! We will be doing this again."
