"Cheeseburger in Paradise by Jimmy Buffet"
Okay, so I stumbled upon this tavern when I was actually looking for a different tavern to check out...and I am happy I did.
It was a beautiful afternoon so I knew I wanted to each lunch outside and what better place than the place that claims to have the best panoramic view of Cincinnati. As I arrived I almost passed right by it as it is positioned between two houses off the beaten path of Mount Adams Cincinnati.
Metal folding chairs aside... there was a pool table and darts for entertainment and the view lived up to my expectations. Not only did the view stretch across the entire city scape but the river and bridges were also visible from the patio.
Onto the food. I ordered what they were known for, The Big Ted Deluxe Burger and a bloody mary. The menu claims that their burgers come, "done, not dry," and they are exactly that. The burger was cooked to perfection, done but extremely juicy. Now if you are looking for a gourmet burger with a lot of fixins' than this is not the place for you, but if you want a classic all American burger then you will love City View Tavern.
And for the bloody mary? Hands down, the best one I have had in a long time. It had the perfect balance of spicy, tomato juice, salt, pepper, and horseradish to be topped off with a signature seasoned rim and a lemon.
Note: There is one guy that I am convinced is the owner/only employee that works there so you order at the bar and he brings you food to your table. Then after you are finished eating you pay at the bar also. My bill was $13 even.
Overall, I loved the place and have not stopped talking about it with friends. The owner is super nice and I left wanting to bring in as much business for him as I could... So try it out!
