So you think round-trip VIP jet service from Greater Cincinnati to New York City/New Jersey, Chicago or Charlotte might be a bit much for your budget? Think again, and think Ultimate Air Shuttle out of Cin-cinnati’s Lunken airport and CVG airport.

Why choose Ultimate Air Shuttle over flying commercial with one of the “big” carriers when flying to those cities and back again? Time management and convenience are at the top of the list of reasons. Arrive at any of the Ultimate Air Shuttle’s facilities only 15 minutes ahead of takeoff. Enjoy free parking only steps from Ultimate Air’s facility. There are no long lines to maneuver your way through, no belts or shoes to remove, and no mad dashes through the airport because you were stalled behind an unexpectedly large crowd at a security checkpoint.

For another, you face none of those “hidden” costs of flying commercial. Bags, you ask? At Ultimate Air, they’re free, and that includes those golf clubs or that canister with the trade booth graphics in it. Snacks? Again, free: and this in-cludes everything, from muffins with cof-fee and juice in the morning, to a cheese/sausage tray and beer or wine on the flight home. Plus, the flight attendant wants to be of service and provide for your comfort

and satisfaction while in flight. And if you arrive early at your departure point, the Ul-timate Air lounge features plush couches, free coffee, newspapers and more, all fo-cused on providing comfort and relaxation for the busy business traveler.

So what the flying public has in Ulti-mate Air Shuttle is VIP service with none of the hassle or cost add-ons of flying commercial. For Rick Pawlak, managing director of Ultimate Air Shuttle, based in Cincinnati, the formula for success is a simple one. “We provide exceptional customer service to those who choose to fly with us and we save our customers time,” he said.

Further, Ultimate Air helps each and every passenger skip the stresses and hassles that are so common in flying with major carriers. You know those stresses and hassles all to well: flights packed to the gills; seats that are narrow, confining and hard; leg room that is non-existent; cabin service that is slow and rigid; and boarding and deplaning experiences that make you want to scream.

One flight on the Ultimate Air Shuttle to and from their destinations, and you’ll never, ever want to go back to commercial flying.

A focus on hosting brilliantly makes the difference at Marriott Kingsgate Con-ference Center, according to Catherine Totman, assistant general manager of the strategically located lodging property.

The Marriott Kingsgate is located near both the hospital/medical center of Greater Cincinnati, and the University of Cincin-nati, and is but a few minutes from Cincin-nati’s downtown grid.

“We have to anticipate the needs of our guests and then do more—take that antici-pation to the next step in providing service that matters to our guests,” Totman said.

The Kingsgate Marriott serves the needs of many parents and loved ones who are with those receiving medical treatment at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, University Hospital, or other hospitals in the area.

Those guests of the hotel need special TLC, says Totman. “Say a family has a sick child and is here spending most of the day at the hospital. They may be there (at the hospital) late, and we look at it as part of our job to assure the family will have a meal when they finally do come back to us for the night. We may prepare some sand-wiches or salads, or do other things that will help them get through the trying times with the least amount of hassle possible. If we can unburden them in any way, we will do it. Part of that is anticipation of their needs without asking.”

The Marriott Kingsgate also has a shut-tle that transports guests to the hospitals and to UC. The convenience of the shuttle makes getting back and forth much easier for guests, along with avoiding the need to find and pay for parking.

Concierge Caitlin Halsted helps many guests attending local conferences or business activities with finding and taking advantage of Greater Cincinnati’s ameni-ties. She assists in procuring tickets for local events, such as Broadway series performances, and sporting events, such as

Reds baseball games. She recommends restaurant destinations and makes arrangements for dining at some of Cincinnati’s hottest spots, such as famous ribs dinners at Montgomery Inn at the

Boathouse, overlooking the Ohio River. For guests who want to eat in the hotel,

Marriott Kingsgate features two restaurant options for dining: the Caminetto fine-dine restaurant and the Bearcat Lounge, where food and beverages are served in a more relaxed atmosphere. Caminetto serves Euro-American cuisine from its menu, and features a customized buffet that changes every day. The buffet is loaded with hot and cold items to please almost every palate. Also, vegetarians will find a special menu with plenty of personalized choices. In addition, there is an ala carte menu that allows guest diners to customize sandwiches, salads and entrée choices to their individual tastes. Room service also is available.

In both restaurants, the menu changes with the seasons to take advantage of seasonal favorites and seasonal bounty. The seasonal approach and local/regional procuring focus adds to the commitment the hotel has to environmental quality and sustainability.

“We work at figuring out why our guests are here at our hotel, and then work even harder to anticipate and meet their needs, based on their reason for staying with us,” said Halsted.

How hot is this hot spot, where ribs are king? Without having your name on the “priority-seating” list on a Saturday night, the wait can be 2 to 2-1/2 hours for a table at Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse. And this ribs palace on the Ohio River seats 700 people!

So the Boathouse location of Montgom-ery Inn is sizzling hot, and it’s all about the ribs. Those ribs draw celebrities far and wide. Back when Bob Hope was alive, he did commercials for these ribs—for free! Hope even said so in the commercial, and he did the TV spots because he loved the ribs and loved the members of the family who worked the restaurants and produced the product.

What about the product? Well, ribs at the Inn are different. First of all, Mont-gomery Inn is celebrating 63 years in the restaurant business this year, and 25 years at the Boathouse. “Back when mom and dad started making the ribs and our famous sauce, nobody was serving ribs in this part of the country,” said Dean Gregory, GM of the Boathouse location and son of Ted, the original Ribs King.

“Back then (1951), ribs were a poor man’s food and mostly done in the American south. But people around here loved the ribs we made, and the sauce is the key. We don’t smoke our ribs, and the meat is tender and sweet and together with the sauce, they are just so delicious. Our guests here at the restaurant, they just love them,” Gregory said. As for the recipes, they are all family derived, and the Gregory family is personally involved in all the Montgomery Inn locations around the Greater Cincinnati area.

The menu has plenty of options to satisfy anyone in your group. The ribs are the runaway best seller at Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse (the original location is on Montgomery Road in Montgomery). Next in popularity is the BBQ chicken, which

is moist and hot and tender and delicious, Gregory said: “People love the chicken too. We have pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches, barbecued beef brisket, burg-ers, filet of fish and more on the menu, including a kids menu for families dining with us. We have something for everybody and every taste.”

The Boathouse is a “must see, must do” location, according to Gregory. “The view is spectacular and eating here is one of the treats of coming to the Cincinnati area. We hear that all the time from visitors to this great area. And once they visit and taste the ribs, our restaurant becomes a regular stop for people who return to the area again and again.

Part of the allure of the Boathouse and other Montgomery Inn locations is the con-sistency of the product and service. “Our guests can count on us for a consistent, quality meal of ribs or chicken or any other menu item, and quality, friendly, efficient service. I’m just so proud of this place, and of our people who serve and prepare the food. They do a great job!”

See you behind a plate of ribs at Mont-gomery Inn at the Boathouse!

hot Spot of the Month

Montgomery Inn at Boathouse is Hot Spot for Ribs

A platter of ribs and the fabulous Boat-house view

If you’re looking for a fine-dine restau-rant with an enticing mix of imaginative food, fun-friendly ambiance and a magnifi-cent location with a view, look no further than Palomino Restaurant & Bar.

Let’s get to cases! Lunch, anyone? Try the salmon burger. We did, and it is scrumptious. Sous Chef James White tells us they buy premium Atlantic salmon in big filets several feet long, then cut serving portions from the loin. For the burger, small pieces are taken and shred-ded, not ground, to allow for big chunks in the _-pound burger—hence more salmon flavor. It works, too. The burger is tasty and loaded with salmon flavor. BTW, the burger is topped with a chef-made spicy onion “jam” that is like a marmalade, and is flat-out delicious.

Palomino is known for its rotisserie cooking, according to GM Nelson Castillo. “We feature rotisserie cooking and items that are very difficult to execute at home,”

he said. Pork, beef and chicken are among those items, and the process takes hours— actually, days for the pork loin. The bone-in pork loin is brine cured for 3-4 days in a sweet/herby concoction that penetrates and preps the meat for the rotisserie. Then, the meat is coated with a steak-salt, garlic, onion and pepper mix, and roasted. When you order, the chef whacks off the chop and brings the meat to temp and the result is mouth-watering. The chicken is done a little differently, and finished in a brick “oven” with temps off the charts, so the skin is crispy and tasty, and inside, the flesh is juicy and tasty and terrific.

Is pasta (and why not at this eatery with an Italian bent?) to your liking? Try the rigatoni Bolognese. The dish features hot Italian sausage, pear tomatoes, roasted red-pepper cream and parmesan cheese on top, mixed with bread crumbs and finished under the broiler to form a delightful crust. Yum? You bet!
