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.

Price: Very Expensive

• Mediterranean • Cincinnati

Booked 22 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.

Max was fantastic! Service and courses were timed impeccably, and everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time bringing first-time guests with us to celebrate their birthdays. They were as wowed by the entire experience as we expected they would be. We are so excited each time we have the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to dine at Sotto.

We had a blast‼️ The manager and staff were absolutely amazing. Going above and beyond taking care of us. The atmosphere is beautiful with a vibe that goes beyond anything you have experienced in this era. Our waitress Leana was fun, professional and so helpful with suggestions for the rest of our evening plans. We will be back on our next visit to Cincy 💕

I always enjoy Rusk. This time I had the baby kale salad with salmon and my friend was pleased with the burger. Great drinks, and chocolate flourless for dessert. My husband’s favorites are the Cajun fettuccini and the beef rib dish: both enormous! We will return soon.

We very much enjoyed our evening at Rusk and we’ll definitely go back at some point. Winter time is fun in the igloos and summarized nice because you can be upstairs. It’s easy to park and get around, which is always a nice extra. The menu is nice and food is delicious.
