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.

    Our food was delicious, but our service was lacking. There were 4 of us dining and 3 of our meals came out and our 4th person was left waiting for a bit. What was ironic was that her order only consisted of a salad and baked potato. Also, our bill was wrong. We had been charged for a bottle of wine and an order of brussel sprouts that we did not order. Thankfully we reviewed the bill before paying. Not the type of service expected from a Jeff Ruby restaurant.

    First time ever that we came away disappointed. Steaks were not cooked to order. Baked potato was not hot. Service was ok. I expected more.

    Greg was wonderful, Trey knows everything there is to know about spirits, Annie was great the bar was “closing” but she welcomed us to sit down.
