As with any diner, you feel immediately comfortable and at ease. Like no other diner, it’s artsy and cool. The Cap City menu follows suit, with recognizable favorites like meatloaf receiving unexpected and delightful upscale twists, alongside trendier chef-driven dishes with big flavors.

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.

    Really, everything was perfect. We could not fault a thing. Cocktails, wine, each course, and delightful people. Such a pleasure to go there, and so lucky to have this in Cincinnati. Thank you Boca.

    We had lunch reservations for our 47th anniversary. We were immediately seated on arrival, and promptly greeted by our server Mark. He was happy to be part of our celebration, and shared his favorite recommendations on the menu. So many choices! We had spaghetti with Sunday Sauce, butternut squash ravioli, veal cutlets, salad wedge, freshly baked bread, and of course, wine. Everything was delicious. Thanks for making our anniversary a special day! We will definitely be back. T & C Lane

    My girlfriends and I ,instead of buying presents, go out every year for a really great dinner for Christmas. This restaurant really hits all the buttons. From melt in your mouth steak, fresh sushi and succulent lobster tails. Wait staff was excellent. Great vibe. Would definitely recommend this iconic restaurant.
