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.

    Our dining ex̌perience was fantastic. I heard so much about Sotto and it did not disappoint. Our table of 4 had the following appetizers: ahi tuna, the octopus, and the goat cheese bread. All were delicious!! Our entire consisted of the short rib ravioli the mushroom pasta, the pork, and the white Truffle pasta. Again...all delicious. For dessert, we had the gellato and the doughnuts...Again these were fabulous.

    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!
