Price: Very Expensive
• Mediterranean • Cincinnati
Booked 11 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.

    Our waitress was outstanding and her knowledge of gluten free options made my experience exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. This was our first time at Pepp & Dolores. We live an hour and twenty minutes away and my wife commented in the middle of our meal that she would be willing to make the drive to just have dinner. She’s pretty selective about dinning out and that speaks volumes. The entire staff was so nice especially our hostess and waitress. Kudos to everyone especially the kitchen staff for an amazing meal.

    We had a late night dinner reservation, 10:00 on a Saturday night. We got there early and they were very accommodating and sat us promptly. Everyone one was lovely and very helpful. Our waiter, I cannot remember his name, was friendly and his descriptions of the entrees was spot on. The food was delicious as always. We never felt rushed. The ambiance was perfect. Via Vite never disappoints us! Thank you for making our evening so pleasant!
