Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Central Business District

Colette is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. This was our second visit and we love every part of the meal. Bread service, carrot salad, duck, Icelandic cod, and rice pudding. Both main courses are as good as you can get outside of Iceland and Beijing

A gift card for Christmas brought us here, but we will come back for the fresh oysters, the outstanding seafood, and the fabulous desserts. Atwood Oyster House is a jewel of a warm, cozy restaurant with an amazing seafood menu.

All of the food is unique and delicious. We enjoyed the hummus, sweet potato, and duck and kale pastas. But the highlight is the roasted carrots - the best ever. They have added acoustic tiles to the ceiling since we had last eaten there, and they have helped to muffle the noise in the space. A welcome improvement!

First time at Rosie's and we really enjoyed it. Great, classic Italian food. The chicken parm and baked ziti were fantastic. We have very good service. Great negroni. The Rosie's Old Fashion was the only item that didn't suit my taste, not enough of the classic old fashion taste, a bit overwhelmed by the Galliano. Overall, we highly recommend and will certainly be back. Very good!

My mom and I tried Nolia Kitchen for the first time and were very pleased with everything! Our server was amazing and the food was insanely delicious. Each item prepared with love. You can tell they are very prideful in what they offer and serve. Such a cute and quaint space. I loved the exposed kitchen as well. Highly recommend!
