About the restaurant

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.

Had a love experience with my friends at Losanti! Our server was knowledgeable and gave us the best food suggestions. Our food was so delicious and was great quality for the price. We were able to enjoy appetizers, main courses, desserts, and drinks without feeling rushed. We really enjoyed our experience at Losanti and will definitely return!

First time visit and a great food experience, and this place’s service is amazing. We were seated very friendly by the hostess staff and were served by Wade. His suggestions were terrific with a nice home charm that is very cool. Not pushy and answered all our questions. I unfortunately was paged and had to take a call during his introduction, but Wade returned and very nicely explained all again to me, which I greatly appreciated. He suggested our drinks and got our first appetizer for us, the sea biscuit, honestly amazing depth of taste and very good visually too. Next, we had the tomatoes bisque soup and house salad. Both very good, but the carrot/ginger and homemade ranch dressings were delicious. Wade let us try both! Mains were the American Wagyu 6oz Filet that could be cut easily with a butter knife (perfectly cooked!) and I had the special that was a crab-topped grouper with a crazy good saffron-infused purée on sunchoke with Calabrian peppers. We also had shareable sides of orange/garlic asparagus and their yummy collard greens. Dessert was gifted to us for our anniversary, and we got the flaming apple crumble that is incredible! Cool presentation too. Service was the star, just slightly behind the great food. Everyone works as a team to make sure all your needs are met. From water, to clearing dishes, to running out your food, everything is everyone’s duty. Smiles abounded, and you can tell this place is definitely run with positive enthusiasm! Just a lovely experience. Of note, there was a problem dinner table next to us that the staff professional handled even though the patrons were the issue. Staff was way nicer to these rude people than they deserved, and this was impressive as I’m also in the service world. Kudos to Wade, Matthew, and Hailey as you three get the gold star for patience with this table tonight! In conclusion, thank you to Third and Main for making our anniversary dinner so special. Great to find a gem restaurant!
