Stone Creek Dining Company in Montgomery has always put a premium on quality – in its food, in its atmosphere – so it’s no surprise that a trip to the bar will leave you savoring the flavors you can’t find anywhere else. And if you’re up for a little pizzaz with your entrée, try the Smurfette – the vibrant blue martini you’ve seen delivered to other tables on previous trips. Raspberry vodka, Blue Curacao and a splash of sour – you won’t know whether to have it before dinner or dessert.

The Tom Cat

Fat Cat’s

537 E. Pete Rose Way

(513)744-9096

You have the ballpark and the arena, hot dogs and draft beers, but Pete Rose Way was missing something; something for after the game or a place to wish away the fourth inning blowout you just couldn’t sit through anymore. Enter Fat Cat’s. A dueling piano bar is the perfect fix for what ails the sports fan within you.

Chicken Parmesan

Padrino Italian

111 Main Street, Milford

(513)965-0100

When the owners of the astoundingly delicious 20 Brix wanted to try something new, they turned their unique take on cuisine to the classic corner pizza shop. The result is Padrino Italian, the classic corner Italian place that puts a premium on flavor. Everything on the menu is worth a try, but just in case you’re stuck, try the Chicken Parmesan. After this, you’ll compare your mom’s with the one Padrino makes.
