1. The Aperture

Exceptional(257)

€€€€Price: Very Expensive

• Market Cuisine • Cincinnati

Booked 18 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.

Shauna (spelling?) was a fantastic server. She walked us through the entire menu and made sure all of our items came out staggered. The bartender was a bit slow but this comes with the newness of the restaurant still. The mocktail was great as well as their herbal hot tea selection. My absolute fave part of the meal was the dumplings/pierogis with apple butter. But everything we got was incredible. Including the salmon Wellington. WOW.
