Where do I go for good French Onion Soup in NKY?

I absolutely HATE to answer a question like this with a chain restaurant. However, have yet to find a better French Onion Soup than they serve up at Fridays, Im sorry to say. That is at least in part because they put a really thick piece of cheese on top. Ill keep thinking to see if I can remember a non-chain alternative where Ive had a decent one (I get F.O.S a lot), because as I said, I'd strongly prefer to steer you in a non-chain route. Ill Edit later if I can think of one.

I have a culinary degree and worked at a lot of restaurants in Florence. The Grand Cafe in the Airport Hilton (I-75 at Turfway Rd) had the best french onion soup I've ever had/made. I'm told the chef has changed since I worked there years ago, but it was made with 5 different onions (yellow, red, green, leeks, and shallots) with 3 different cheeses (provolone, swiss, and parmesan). Things may have changed over the years, but that always used to be a staple on the menu.

I am gonna have to go with bmw driver on this one. Not to many local places here have good french onion soup.

If you are considering Ohio -

Parker's Blue Ash Grill is great.
