About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Fancy
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.

    Went to Precinct for the first time and it was amazing. David was our server and he went above and beyond. He gave great suggestions on the menu and was so nice. We will definitely be back again.

    As always The Precinct never disappoints. We’ve been celebrating special occasions here as a family for three decades and will continue to do so for as long as they continue to serve food.

    I must start with service because it is truly the best - we consistently receive the best service at the Precinct. This visit was no exception. Cole was the perfect combination of professional and personal. Our meal was amazing as always. Jeff Ruby steaks never disappoint and you can’t go wrong on a selection. If you have not tried the Japanese wagyu - it is a must. There are no words for the culinary experience. Take the plunge!

    We go to The Precinct every year for our twins’ birthday. As always, the service, food, and atmosphere were amazing. The staff made the evening extra special with some birthday touches- a photo, dessert, and candles. Without question, we will be back again next year!

    What a great restaurant! We had the steak collinsworth and the New York strip. Both were cooked perfectly and delicious! We started with bread and the Freddie salad. So good for being a simple salad. The good thing about the menu is that the side and salad were included in the meal. It is usually ala carte in the rather pricey restaurants. The service was awesome! Highly recommend. We don’t mind paying this much for a great meal with great service!
