Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Cincinnati

We made last minute reservations here to celebrate our anniversary and we’re so glad we did! We’ve gone to many popular restaurants in Cincinnati and our overall experience here was by far the best (above many hard-to-book and highly esteemed spots, I’ll add). To begin, they acknowledged our anniversary (which often doesn’t happen when I note it on the reservation) and provided either a champagne toast or mocktails on the house. We got bread service and The Parrillada Experience with brussels and gnocchi- absolutely delectable. The skirt steak and shrimp were my favorites, and the chimichurris were perfection. Will definitely be back and would most likely order the exact same thing! Our server, Ethan, was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable and made it an all-around great experience. If you’re on the fence, BOOK IT!

We always enjoy these fixed price meals at Bakers Table. The pace of the service is relaxed but not slow. Courses were spread out perfectly. We did not do the wine pairing, instead bought bottles of wine which were excellent . There was a 23% tip added to the wine which I felt was a bit high, but we were already in for an expensive evening. Great fun for a group. We were in restaurant for 2.5 hours.

We had a wonderful late dinner after The Christmas Carol at the Playhouse. The staff is like family having been with Jean Robert for many years. The food was great! They had as a special Dover Sole with a flavorful sauce. I had a fois gras special as a starter that was exceptional. Jean Robert would be proud. I am happy to recommend this restaurant for a great experience and meal.

This is a very nice place to go,very cozy and not real loud, great atmosphere. The food is outstanding and the service is very good also.

Me and my mom came here for Christmas Eve lunch. The person who called the day before was so sweet and helpful. Our server was beyond exceptional, friendly, and so helpful. The food was amazing! Thanks for making Christmas 2024 so special. Buon Natale!
