    Our favorite place to eat! The lamb chops were tasty, and the sweet potato casserole was delicious! The Ruth’s salad is my favorite! The steak with shrimp was the best we’ve had in a long time! The cheesecake was a perfect dessert! The service and ambience are always 5 star and it’s worth the drive to downtown.

    Our waiter was phenomenal. The Empanada Trio our appetizer was packed with flavor. We ordered The Argentine Parrillada Experience For Two. Definitely more than enough food for 2 people. Drinks were very good (and strong). We order the Black & Bull(Eit) and Argentine Old Fashioned. Atmosphere was amazing, set just right for our weekly date night. Our waiter suggested the bread pudding for dessert, which was by far the best bread pudding we have tasted in a long time. Thank you, butcher and barrel team for an amazing experience!

    The food and service at this fine dining restaurant was excellent especially on a very busy Saturday evening. We had the salmon and a side of mashed potatoes along with a bourbon poundcake and sherbet dessert. Everything was delicious. Our server checked on us from time to time and was very courteous and engaging. Council Oak Cincinnati exemplifies what fine dining is about, and on this night they knocked it out of the ballpark.
