For Jeff Ruby, this is the steakhouse that started it all. In 1981, The Precinct was born in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6. This turn-of-the-century, Romanesque-style structure would hold what is now the longest, continuously running fine dining restaurant in the city.Recently named one of America's Top 10 Steakhouses by USA Today and Gayot.com, The Precinct is frequently recognized as having Cincinnati’s best steaks, seafood, and service. 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.

• Mediterranean • Cincinnati
Booked 15 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.

    I’ve been to the Rubys location downtown a few times and was disappointed in the service and quality both times going.. the precint did NOT disappoint! Everything came out on time and hot and delicious. I will say the salads are a little heavy on the dressing but overall it was a 10/10. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was incredible. Will be back !

    The food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.
