Dining

Crescent Hill/ Clifton has it all when it comes to dining options and hip cafés. From the Silver Dollar, a gritty, southern style honky-tonk with southern cuisine, to Porcini’s, an upscale Italian eatery with an extensive wine list, this neighborhood has something for everyone. Popular cafes include Please and Thank you – a locally owned coffee shop and bakery, known for their chocolate chip cookies. Another hot spot is Vint Coffee Shop, which is usually packed with students from the two local seminaries. Finally, Cafe Classico, akin to a modern French café with small bites, great coffee and the best wine, and in the evenings, quiet music by independent but local musicians.
