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.

    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.

    My first time at the precinct. The steak was room temperature and was cooked rare instead of medium as I ordered. Had high expectations due to the restaurants reputation. Steaks are their signature item, so you can imagine how disappointed I was.

    We took our son and his girlfriend to celebrate his 20th birthday. He had never been and now I think we may have created a monster. He can't wait to go back. Everything was incredible, as always. We had Sue as our server and we have had her in the past as well and she is always great. The food is always top-notch as is the service.

    Service and food was excellent. A little mishap on dessert but nothing that ruined the evening. Restaurant and management of guests was excellent considering it was a busy night because of Valentine’s Day. Good Manager visibility that was actual hands on during the evening. The 70 day dry aged cowboy steak probably my new steak now! Overall great evening and the Valet Team still the best in terms of customer service, being polite and respectful!
