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. The Precinct also offers a quaint outdoor patio area where guests may dine.

    Couldn’t recommend it more. We went to celebrate my husband being 3 years in remission from cancer and they went above and beyond.

    Dinner at The Precinct was absolutely phenomenal! The food was exceptional, but what truly made the evening special was the incredible service. Our server, Matt, was outstanding—attentive to every detail and so kind. The managers, Jordan and Brandon, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I asked about an old menu item, and before I knew it, Brandon had a plan to make it happen. Jordan, in particular, is always on top of things and treats my family like we're VIPs, which makes the experience even more memorable. It's rare to find a place with such high-quality food and staff who genuinely make you feel like you matter. If you’re looking for not just a great meal, but a wonderful atmosphere, The Precinct is the place to go!

    Overall everything was good. The steak was missing its signature crust which is why this location is my favorite. So that part was a bit disappointing. Service was good as always

    Food was as good as advertised. Service could have been a better but it depends on who your waiter is.
