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.

    Took my new boss and co-workers here for a dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. Very crowded on a Monday and I now know why...food was outstanding and the atmosphere...casual, chic and welcoming. Even a case of the Mondays couldn't keep the fans of Mama's on Main away. The bread service was delicious as was the gnocchi and chicken parmesan. I'll be back. With guests. This is a new favorite for a certified food snob.

    First visit to Cantina in the new Pendleton location. Outstanding first impression! Naya was our server at the bar... so fun and engaging! The service was friendly, helpful and casual / fun. We loved the guacamole appetizer and both the sweet potato and steak tacos were delicious. Definitely will go back to try several other items on the menu.
