Carlo & Johnny

We enjoyed a fantastic meal , a wonderful steak in interesting surroundings with plenty of atmosphere and great service.

Valentine's special made the value fantastic

Chris Thornton was our server and he did an excellent job of making us feel special. Excellent service. The food was amazing!

Valentine’s Day

Wonderful. Fantastic. Dan was superb as our waiter. Always a treat whenever we visit a Jeff Ruby restaurant.

Lovely atmosphere! It was my girlfriend’s and I’s 1 year anniversary and the meal was fabulous. I’ve had the pleasure of doing some fine dining in my days, and one of the things I love about it is the personal communication that is established between the server and ourselves. We had the training manager as our server and it was a busy night, so we didn’t get as much of that as we would have liked. Still a great guy. We will be back!

Excellent food, excellent service. Out server, Chris, was outstanding. Everything about a Jeff Ruby establishment is heads above other eateries in the area.

Someone must have canceled , we got a table Friday night, and my steak was perfect as usual, they are good at what they do🙂 oysters were delicious as well👍🏻

Best steak I’ve ever had! Exceptional service and great atmosphere!

This is our go-to place for special dates. They never fail to disappoint! Great food and fantastic service.

Adrian was great. Always a very special time when we go here

The food was amazing and our server made great recommendations!

Best steak I’ve had in 20 years!

Excellent food and great service . Our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati

Top to bottom and hands down best dining experience of my life!!!

Our dining experience was just that ....an experience!!!
Our server, Dan, absolutely the best!! He has been our server on a few occasions and he enhances the experience.
Our food was spectacular, the ambiance was perfect and the service demonstrated nothing but excellence!!

Valentine’s Day! Service was incredible and the evening was so fun !

Average food quality

Never disappointing. Clay was the best. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.

C&J is simply one of the very best restaurants in the entire tri-state area. Whether you talk about service (thank you Kyle, Shannon and Aria), Seafood raw bar (fresh, huge pieces or choose from the menu), salads (imagine 2 on the list served w/ bacon!), apps (from fried green tomatoes to raw bar selections and much in between, always great taste and large enough to share), sides (potatoes, greens, mushrooms, onions, just simply really good tasting compliments), and finally the entrees (see the menu - anything you choose will be served exactly as you request and the taste, serving size and cuts will be the very best you can find). Excellent service, taste and experience (which is why you go and enjoy). Finally, on V Day, C&J knows that ambiance is vital and so on the 14th they were not taking any group reservations but mainly 2 seat reservations and a very few 4 seat so the noise / atmosphere was perfect. Select an open slot and go! Thank you JR and C&J.

Wonderful Valentines Day celebration. They even gave me a rose!

Grest food. Great experience.

My husband and I used to live in Kansas City, MO, and we honestly didn’t think the steak in Cincinnati could compare. I am pleased to say that we were wrong! This was the BEST meal that we have EVER eaten anywhere! Our server, Dan, was so attentive and personable. He made us feel welcome and made sure we were satisfied. The ambiance here is romantic, and we loved learning about the history of this building! This is absolutely our new favorite restaurant. Try the house made ice cream after dinner...to fill in the cracks. ;)

Always wonderful

Excellent!

Great food! Great service! Highly recommended!

Everything was wonderful! Our server, Adam, was great! This was our first time dining here and we were having a special Valentines dinner. Highly recommend to everyone! Thanks!

The food is delicious but pricey and the service is great. You always feel well taken care of!

Excellent service, excellent food, wonderful evening. We hope to come back to Carlo & Johnny again !

We enjoy ALL the Ruby restaurants, but last night’s surf & turf was fabulous!

Sometimes when you go to a restaurant and they have an advertised special or reduced price menu you might expect that what you get is not as high-quality as the regular menu items. At Carlo and Jonny’s, the filet mignon and lobster tail special was outstanding. Lobster tender, cooked perfectly and the meat was flavorful and grilled to order. Our waiter Stephen, was attentive and not obtrusive, and made our evening. Our favorite restaurant to splurge and celebrate a special occasion.

We had the surf and turf and it was excellent as always. I have never had a bad meal there, the services is always right on point.

Excellent food and outstanding service. Highly recommended.

We went to Carlo & Johnny for a Birthday celebration. We were disappointed. The waiter forgot my glass of wine, but the manager did compensate us by giving us a free dessert. We ordered the parmesan truffle fries as one of our sides. They weren't as hot as we would have liked. Our waiter was pleasant, but seems very distracted. For the amount of money we spent for a family of four, I felt it wasn't a great value. Would probably try a different steak place before coming back to this restaurant.

Always enjoy CJs. Great service, great food, and Sunday's are nice because they are quieter. Thank you for making our "off menu" habenero tomato bisque (always a favorite), the valet guys are spectacular at this location, and we really enjoyed everything. Nothing to complain about, except it wasn't free. :)

Always a wonderful experience, at Carlo & Johnnys, the food is excellent and the staff is very professional.

Dinner was delicious and service was great! James was very attentive and made our whole experience fantastic!

Great restaurant! Service was amazing! Steak and lobster tail were delicious! Wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I enjoyed yet another perfect C&J meal for a romantic night out. We always (ALWAYS) have nothing less than perfection when we dine at C&J. It’s always a very special meal, as we got married there last year. Every single person who works there (from valet to hostess to bartender to server to busser and manager) ensures everything is perfect and that you feel special. We love it here and always book far in advance to make sure we can get in!

Wonderful waitstaff and food
