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.

    Creative dishes, top-notch service. Our server Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the menu. Loved watching the action in the open kitchen. We considered the experience expensive, especially the drinks. Our wine at $20 per glass was good but… We will save a return visit for a special occasion.

    The food was from different coastal regions of the world. The humus and sea bass with mussel chowder was excellent. Great service, and not noisy at all. Well done decor with good street views.

    Creative? Yes. Tasty? Yeah. With the incredibly high prices? Shàreable/small plates can be a lovely way to enjoy a meal together - even better when, two people sharing can get more than 2-3 bites per person Pricey for the sake or pricey.

    Best restaurant in Cincinnati by far! The cocktails are unique and innovative and each dish is crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients and presented beautifully. The flavors are bold and complex, yet perfectly balanced. The service is impeccable. Kylie was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and making recommendations based on our preferences.
