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.

Wonderful Christmas buffet with carolers and pianist. Great selection of food and a festive atmosphere. I think the restaurant needs to update the descriptions however, because some items were missing.

It surpassed my expectations. The food, the service, the beauty of the art deco surroundings dressed up for Christmas made for a joyful and memorable experience for our three-generation family gathering. We hope to do this again!

We were seated in the bar area and it was absolutely freezing. The waiter said it was because of the door opening on the level below. No effort was made to manage the situation. Service was mediocre at best. Most of the food was delicious and the presentation was stunningly beautiful.

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.
