Had an absolutely wonderful experience!! My fiancé loves trains so I saw this experience on tiktok and thought this might be a great valentine’s day present and my goodness what’s I right!! This was a whole beautiful experience from the second you park your car! We were in the silver sword car and the waiters were fantastic. Brett was so fun as well he came up to our table and had us all laughing multiple times and answered all our questions, he was a joy. The food was fantastic, the sights especially when you get closer to the river was beautiful, the entertainment was phenomenal, overall we had such a wonderful experience. (And did I mention you get to toot the horn on the train??) We would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to try something new and fun!! 😊

This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! Great food, great atmosphere, great service!! I had the prime rib and it was fantastic. The sides were awesome too! My date had the salmon and loved it! Prices for drinks were reasonable and cheaper than expected. The singers were amazing and the conductor was incredible. We were in the silver sword car and it was the best! I cannot wait to do this again. Money well spent!!!

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!

Great experience. Make sure you dress appropriately! 1940's attire suggested. We'll be back!

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.
