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.

    REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!
