Tom & Chee

This casual dining concept is based on the familiar tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich comfort food. Except the soup and sandwiches Tom & Chee offers, definitely take it to the next level.


The first time I went there I ordered the pesto turkey grilled cheese sandwich which was delicious and very filling. The second time I ordered the flying pig and a dipper of creamy tomato soup which was also a great choice. They have three different portion sizes of soups. Both times I went the eatery offered a few different types of soup but three different versions of tomato soup, chunky, creamy, and classic.  My mom ordered a shroom and swiss sandwich that was delicious so that may be what I order next time. 

The restaurant is so fun and yummy it's even be featured on some food shows on the travel channel!  The restaurant has two other Cincinnati locations and one in Louisville, KY.  I like the location on the levy because of outside views of the river and it's not been too crowded when I've visited.  However because of the location you have to be intention about eating there.  I think it's a great eatery to broaden the restaurant choices there at the levy.

Every trip to Pasha Grill feels like a an overseas destination.  With curtains and stucco walls, the Turkish décor and wait staff make you question if you’re still in Ohio. 

Speaking of wait staff, recently we took advantage of a restaurant week deal and had a coupon.  With tax, our bill barely made it over the coupon threshold and yet the server still honored it without a hassle. (Definately Impressive and a breath of fresh air!)  He was very friendly and personable and was great about making recommendations.  Our glasses stayed full and our food came out in a timely manner at a good temperature.  

The food is packed with flavor. The lunch deal includes a great variety of items (appetizer, lunch portion entre, and dessert) at a great price.  Dinner is a little more expensive but a generous serving.

I've tried the bread, rice pilaf, roasted veggies, Shepherd's salad, lentil soup, apple tea, kabobs, almond pudding, lamb saute, kebabs with yogurt and all of it has tasted wonderful.  

If you're feeling a little adventurous you should definately check it out!
