Cincinnati Dinner Train

The dinner train is awesome! It has a 1949 theme, and a dress code. The minimum is business casual, but a lot of people either dress up or dress forties-style. The service is excellent, and everyone is extremely accomodating. The train runs from Paddock Road down to the Ohio River and back, with a sprinkling of history lessons along the way. The food is spectacular. 12/10, will go again.

I planned this as a date night for my husband and I. We had the absolute best time traveling back in time by train. The waitress was so nice and enjoyed what she was doing. The drinks from the bar were strong which was great! The music on the train was relaxing and mimicked the 1940s era. We dined like kings and queens as the food was superb. My husband had the prime rib medium rare, with chocolate pecan pie for dessert and I had the salmon with the NY style cheese cake. The sides were fantastic and we loved the green beans. The lady singers were amazing and greeted you on the train and then performed in the entertainment car after dinner. The ride was dark so besides city lights and the reflection from the river you couldn't see much but that was totally fine with us. We can't wait to go again!

Surprised my boyfriend with tickets for this evening on the Milwaukee car. We sure had a good time. Our dinner was very good. Service was professional and very efficient. The entertainment was very good. We enjoyed walking through the cars and checking all of them out. Great date night! Thank you,staff for an enjoyable evening.

This trip was amazing. The wait staff were all super helpful and knowledgeable about the train and the things we passed along the way. The Queen City Sisters were phenomenal! Parking was easy, loading and unloading was done quickly. Food was all perfectly cooked and presented. A definite must for anyone who enjoys trains.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Cincinnati Dinner Train. The food was amazing, we both chose the salmon. The staff and crew were phenomenal! We very much enjoyed learning about the rich history of the Cincinnati railroad. We definitely recommend reserving your trip and we will be back again soon!

I like trains and food, so I thought that this would be a natural, and for the most part, it was. I booked the Silver Sword car and requested a table for 2, which we were seated at next to the bar. I thought that the prime rib was good, as was the accompanying side, salad, and dessert. The service was friendly and very attentive. The only downside, which others have mentioned, was the lack of scenery. There was a guide to point out history and landmarks, but railroad tracks in an urban area tend to be industrial and/or trash collectors. Since the return trip is in the dark, depending on when you go, it's really only a factor on half of the trip.

After a mix up with gift certificates it was a very enjoyable evening! Everyone was extremely helpful, food was very good (better than we have had in quite a few restaurants lately). Train was clean and comfortable. A color brochure was on every table with info and pictures. Only downside was being able to hear the conductor when he gave his tidbits of info. Overall, definitely something to consider for a fun, different night out!

July 15th was our 3rd time on the Cincinnati Dinner Train. Our first time and tonight we were celebrating our anniversary. Our anniversary is next week so we celebrated a week early. This experience never gets boring! The waitress staff were very nice and friendly. The conductor Brian did a great job explaining history along the train route. Looking forward for another trip.
