I just ran into someone from back home the other day and he told me Walt's Hitching Post is under new management and really has a good kitchen again. Dee Felice in Covington - if it is still there - is another nice place for a dinner and some nights they have a jazz band... The food isn't the greatest at Rookwood Pottery but it is decent and it is kind of a fun place to eat if you have never been - it used to be a pottery and you can tell when you are inside as you can see kilns where they used to fire stuff. Plus there are nice views of the city from up there and you can bar hop after dinner. Parking sucks in Mt Adams though making it a great place to limo or cab to.
What about the casinos? As a rule they have good food and in addition to gambling some have entertainment and the hotel thing you talked about is an option at most if not all of them.
I tried researching Mansion Hill Tavern but could not find much about the place or who's playing, so I kind of gave up on that place. I didn't think about the casino angle, so that is going to widen my search and I appreciate that advice.
