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.

The food and atmosphere is always outstanding. The dirty martini which is always really good was very salty to his time, burning still managed to down two.🍸🍸🫒🫒

Some of the best food we have had at restaurants in Cincy in years. Our table had the branzino, the strip, the filet, and the seafood fettuccine dish. We ordered a risotto to share and bread service. Tiramisu and chocolate cake came at the end, and while we were very hungry after skipping lunch, almost nothing was left on a single plate at our table. Service was great and the vibe was good. Coming back for sure.

The steak was wonderful as usual, State potatoes could’ve been cooked a little longer. We were very disappointed we had reservations at the speakeasy and it was closed permanently. Would’ve been nice to have been told ahead of time.

The hostess seated us on the glass where we could see the huge Christmas tree at Fountain Square. It was our Anniversary and they treated us like V.I.P’s. Great ambiance! Will definitely be back.
