Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Central Business District

Why would you go to a chain restaurant when we have this local gem that grows most of the food it prepares? Our son is one of the most pickiest of all our kids yet raved about everything he ate! Phenomenal steaks with careful attention to temperature preferences, a la carte items that have a Dutch influence, and a tomato salad unlike anything I’ve had before - extraordinary. Service was outstanding and meticulous led by Savannah and Matthew. This will be our go to for this type of experience!

Always delicious, relaxing, accommodating with great service. Never disappointed. Menu is creative and seasonal. Love the pick three option and we always do that to get a broader sampling of the chefs creations. Last night we got into a real traffic mess and were quite late and they were so gracious when we finally showed up!

We sat at “counter seating” and I had my doubts because I felt it would be like bar type seating. For two people it is perfect seating. You can both see the action in the restaurant and yet be able to talk with each other. Our service was spectacular - multiple people checked in with us. Most people there were going to a show after dinner - like myself - the restaurant was on top of it. We did not feel rushed at all. The food was wonderful. We had fish and chips (not battered, but incredible) and shrimp and grits - both were fantastic. Our drinks were first rate as well. I had been here years ago and thought ‘it’s OK but with this visit (again many years later) I thought “I have to come back!”.

Everything was top notch. These folks know what they’re doing and are exceptionally fantastic at it! The valet attendants and hosts were very professional and friendly. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, personable and a true pro! Everyone seemed to be working together to create a fantastic experience for us! The food was truly exceptional! A lot of love,artistry and expertise went into each dish. We were celebrating an anniversary and what a memorable celebration it was!!! We’ll definitely be recommending Boca to folks.Cincinnati really has a true gem downtown. There’s definitely a reason why reservations are needed. Cheers!!
