Best Seasonal Restaurants in Central Business District

The bartender was absolutely spectacular. He was knowledgeable about the four draught beers and expressed thoughtful opinions about the menu that were helpful when we ordered appetizers. The waitress was a frantic Cincinnati Bengals fan and kept us informed of all the game developments as well as giving us strong information on the menu, all of which was delicious. The eggplant, the mushroom soup which pays homage to the restaurant that used to be there, and the fondue collectively were worth a visit. The homemade pasta was flawless, and the chicken was the best my date had ever had . I highly recommend the Davidson.

REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!

This is my second time back and it was equally as delicious for a table 5 we had seven dishes in small plates. We had the farmers cheese, the bean dish and the stuffed cabbage all so flavorful we try the two dumplings and we were loving every bite. We enjoyed The risotto, the salmon and the short rib stroganoff as well. Literally every bite we were ooohing and ahhhing.

I always look forward to dining at Boca, the food is always delicious and the service is seamless. If you're an oyster fan you should definitely try theirs-you won't find any better. I'm a real fan of their chicken dish -with risotto and carrot. I keep coming back to ordering it because it's perfect! If you're uncertain what wine to choose with your dinner-let the staff help with a good pairing-I enjoyed what our server suggested and it's a good way to try something new. Boca is a real gem of a restaurant and Cincinnati is lucky to have it.

My first visit to the restaurant. The restaurant was full but service was impeccable and very timely! So sheoshito appetizer was to die for! Cod was perfectly done. Waitress ,Mary, Was very welcoming and professional.. Is this place can do a great job on Christmas Eve I'm sure every other day is as good or better !will be returning!?
