Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in North Bend

Wow!! Aperture is yet another example of why Cincinnati is truly a foodie city. Very impressed with every not-so-little-detail Chef Jordan Anthony Brown put into this restaurant. The space is modern, yet intimate; the lighting is a perfect balance of mood and softness; even with a completely full restaurant, it was never loud; sitting next to the windows on a cold, rainy night, we never felt any temperature difference; the service from everyone was equally excellent, professional, friendly and attentive. Now, for the food. First, watching the chefs in the open kitchen was entertainment in itself. I could have watched this intimate look into the passion and precision of the preparing, creating, and plating each individual dish all night. Every dish we ordered was uniquely different in its presentation and flavor: simple, yet fresh, curious and delicious with combinations I have not previously encountered. The Fennel sausage pasta was perfect in its sauce distribution, flavor and al dente texture. The Stripped Bass delivered a flaky, crisp fish in an emulsion of light chowder-like sauce-Unexpectedly amazing. The simple fire-heated pita with the eggplant hummus was no less impressive. Thank you Chef Jordan Anthony Brown, and the people that work along side you to remind us how decadent and fun eating can be when made with love and dedication.

My wife and I ate here for Valentine’s Day and we had one of the best meals/experience we have ever had. The meal was absolutely amazing and creative. Our server made the experience that much better with her positivity and great suggestions. We LOVED our experience!

Great food—interesting flavors, pricey but worth it. We were fortunate to have an early reservation and not be crushed against other diners which can happen in the tables for two since the restaurant is so small. Cole was a wonderful server. Nolia never disappoints.

We had an amazing brunch this morning. The deviled eggs were so tasty. The lemon ricotta pancakes that my MIL had were delicious. The goetta breakfast that my wife and I had was the best breakfast we have had in a long time. Service was excellent with Caitlin.

A dinner at The Baker's Table is always a delight. We usually go for their special events or their once-a-month pre fixe meals. This time was for their Valentines Day special. The courses were individually small, but by the end of the meal you are filled up to satisfaction. Really unique preparations you won't find anywhere else. The wine pairings are always thoughtful and spot on. This time I had the wine, and my better half had the non-alcoholic pairings which were all spectacular. This place is great for a date, a special occasion, or really anytime you want a treat.
