Best Seasonal Restaurants in Hyde Park

Overall we had a great time. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 pretty easily. The gnocchi, roasted chicken, filet, mushroom flatbread, and stuffed mushrooms were all good. Cocktails were good. The lobster tail was just ok. Very chewy. But hey, we didn’t expect it to be phenomenal. Only real issue was it took forever to get drinks and food. The server tried her hardest but kitchen and bar seemed to be backed up and it was just very slow. She did apologize. Not her fault. We still had a nice time!

Great food. Great service. We will keep going back.

REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!

Celebrated Christmas Eve with my family. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Our server Alec was friendly and did an excellent job. The food was excellent as it always is at the Precinct. I had the boneless ribeye, my wife a filet with bearnaise sauce, and my daughters had the salmon. Everyone was happy with their choices and we had a wonderful evening. Looking forward to the next time we have an opportunity to go to a Jeff Ruby restaurant.

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous pre-Christmas date night at The Aperature. I have been wanting to dine here since they opened but hadn’t yet been able to make it in. Our food was fabulous and our server, Sam, was perfectly friendly and attentive. In fact the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sharing the small plates. We had the garlic & eggplant hummus, the sweet potato with feta, the kale pesto spaghetti, and the ribeye. Literally every single bite was delicious. We split the toffee pudding for dessert. We felt the food quality was as good or better than another local small plates restaurant we visited this time last year and The Aperature bill was HALF of what it was at the other place.
