Price: Very Expensive
• Mediterranean • Cincinnati
Booked 13 times today
The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

For Jeff Ruby, this is the steakhouse that started it all. In 1981, The Precinct was born in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6. This turn-of-the-century, Romanesque-style structure would hold what is now the longest, continuously running fine dining restaurant in the city.Recently named one of America's Top 10 Steakhouses by USA Today and Gayot.com, The Precinct is frequently recognized as having Cincinnati’s best steaks, seafood, and service. This consistent, high level of quality and overall guest experience over 4 decades has endeared Precinct to celebrities, business people, families, and loyal diners alike. The Precinct also offers a quaint outdoor patio area where guests may dine.

Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the City Club Apartments, at 309 Vine Street; resurrected from the history that has stood here before our time, Shires' Rooftop is inspired by the first amusement resort in this part of the country, Shires' Garden. Though the original Shires' Gardens burned to the ground, "in a most picturesque fire," the legacy that was left behind is everlasting and an integral part of the Queen City's history. The creation of the Matinee Performance, the regal guests Shires' hosted, an unsolved murder and other noteworthy events that took place at the original Shires' Gardens, are an inspiration to our program that we look forward to sharing with you.

    The food was wonderful; extremely flavorful, well seasoned, well portioned, and truly seemed like a curated menu. The cocktails were well made and the whiskey menu had some questionable pricing but I was able to find a diamond in the rough (GTS @ $25/oz) Almost everything we got was exceptional. The shrimp scampi fell a little short for the table though, the flavor was very good but nothing special and the portion felt small. The truffle Mac honestly didn’t feel like anything special but was good, not mind blowing, which is acceptable in my eyes for a side. The butter cake was HUGE and just absolutely stellar additionally it was large enough that it could’ve been shared between the 4 of us. What we ordered: The table ordered a round of cocktails/ pour of whiskey. Starters - Rock Shrimp scampi and Burrata Entrees - New York strip, filet, and Orecchiette Sides - truffle Mac and Cheese & Elote Desert - Butter cake with salted caramel ice cream

    Such a great meal. Yet, since it was the night before Thanksgiving, we ate only a small amount. Really need to come back hungry and have a full meal. The dessert menu looked amazing! Service was exceptional.

    The food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.
