Experience Casual Elegance at 1931 in Cincinnati's Historic Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel

Tucked away in downtown Cincinnati's iconic Hilton Netherland Plaza, the 1931 invites you to dine in sophisticated style. This art deco jewel evokes the glamour of a bygone era with its soaring painted ceilings, marble columns, and Rookwood pottery. While the setting transports you back in time, the cuisine is decidedly modern, with American fare and creative cocktails.

The versatile menu features breakfast classics like fluffy pancakes and savory eggs benedict. Lunch brings soups, salads, and sandwiches, while dinner tempts with dishes like Citrus-Glazed Salmon, Peppercorn-crusted Ribeye, and Pappardelle & Braised Beef Short Rib Ragout.

Whether you're seeking breakfast, lunch, or romantic dinner, the 1931 excellent service ensures a memorable experience. Its proximity to the convention center, theatres, and stadiums is also a convenient pre-event spot for a bite and cocktails.

I lovely place. Enjoyed the piano player & the Caroler’s. For the most part the food was delicious. Unfortunately I think we were charged full price but when I made the reservation, I made it for seniors.

Lovely, if high priced, Christmas outing. The food was terrific, every bit of it. It was hard to decide what to try! The live music and caroling made the day special.

Food was sub-par. Meats were dry. Seafood selection was meager. Our server was lousy. Overall, I’d rate it C- at best. Not worth the price. Used to be much better.

We had a 4:00 reservation but had to wait more than a half hour in line, which put a damper on our celebration mood. The ambience is wonderful though (it was our first experience), so once seated, we quickly got the holiday vibe back, helped along by the live jazz harkening back to the deco times of the sumptuous surroundings. The food was served mostly from separate stations based on a theme, fresh shrimp/seafood, salads, breads/rolls, cheese, charcuterie board, a panoply of desserts, etc. These stations were supplemented graciously by sliver steam table offerings with lids that kept the side dishes (e.g., mashed potatoes, pasta, green beans, stuffing, etc) and some meat dishes (e.g., chicken marsala, beef bourguignon, etc) warm for your plate. Best of all was a carved meat station with two carvers serving up freshly sliced roast beef to your specifications (rarest of rare to well done), as well as ham and turkey for those who wanted it. The roast beef was outstanding! Much to our surprise at a Thanksgiving feast, the most disappointing offering was the freshly sliced turkey! Processed, saline infused, and shaped into a round, it tasted little like the savory roast you can do for yourself at home. So skip that and go for the beef. Roast a turkey for the family on the weekend while you remember the fun of feasting out on all the other great offerings at 2031 on Thanksgiving.
