• Mediterranean • Cincinnati

Booked 24 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.

Great experience as always. Sarah was extremely cordial and engaging! Cole did a great job serving our table and had a great amount of knowledge of Italian wines and helped us pair a Super Tuscan with our various courses! The food is always so great and was especially great last night!

We’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!

The igloo was great, our server was very nice. I disagreed a little bit with the minimum because we were the only people there (no other igloos were booked, and it was lunch time) - but all in all it was good!

Service was poor. We waited for drinks for way too long. We had this reservation for months. It wasn’t a surprise visit. It wasn’t our servers fault. He needed help for our large group. Food was delicious once we ordered and got our food.
