For Jeff Ruby, this is the steakhouse that started it all. In 1981, The Precinct was born in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6. This turn-of-the-century, Romanesque-style structure would hold what is now the longest, continuously running fine dining restaurant in the city.
Recently named one of America's Top 10 Steakhouses by USA Today and Gayot.com, The Precinct is frequently recognized as having Cincinnati’s best steaks, seafood, and service. 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. The Precinct also offers a quaint outdoor patio area where guests may dine.

    The precinct had always been one of our favorites and this time didn’t disappoint! We had wonderful service from zoe. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and all the sides were delicious. We finished it off with the carrot cake, which is my absolute favorite dessert ever.

    My dining experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. Without a doubt, it stands as the finest establishment in Cincinnati. The waitstaff exhibited a level of professionalism and attentiveness that made me feel special from the moment I stepped in. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, transforming an ordinary meal into an unforgettable culinary journey. Everything about the experience, from the ambiance to the exquisite service, was simply remarkable. Sean Kammerer

    bridget gave us amazing service from the second we sat down. had such an amazing night. not often you get to leave a restaurant and feel like you have a new friend. 10/10 recommend bridget if you eat in the dining room. Also Donny and Jack the chefs made the experience so memorable. They also have one of the most amazing GMs Clint. unfortunately we didn’t get the pleasure of seeing him but boy does he make your experience better.

    Everything was perfect as you expect a Ruby restaurant to be. Our server, Erin, was wonderful and truly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She also recommended a great wine.
