Price: Very Expensive
• Market Cuisine • Cincinnati
Booked 13 times today
The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the City Club Apartments, at 309 Vine Street; resurrected from the history that has stood here before our time, Shires' Rooftop is inspired by the first amusement resort in this part of the country, Shires' Garden. Though the original Shires' Gardens burned to the ground, "in a most picturesque fire," the legacy that was left behind is everlasting and an integral part of the Queen City's history. The creation of the Matinee Performance, the regal guests Shires' hosted, an unsolved murder and other noteworthy events that took place at the original Shires' Gardens, are an inspiration to our program that we look forward to sharing with you.

    We had reservations last night at Prima Vista to celebrate my wife's birthday. Our party started out with a couple of orders of the prosciutto/cheese appetizer plates, which were great.We had all come to dinner with a dish in mind but since it was Thursday, four of us decided on one of the three fixed price specials. We each got the trout special with a side of pasta and 2 of our party ordered steak filets. All of our meals were spectacularly cooked, prepared, and presented. Prima Vista simply sets a very high bar for delectable food, presentation, and selection. Our service all night long was simply great. Our waitress was so friendly, so personalble all while being the perfect professional. She took care of everyone in our party and simply made our dining experience spectacular. We have been to Prima Vista a number of times and always have had great food and service but each time we come away with comments of how the food and service simply blows every other restaurant away. Obviously from our experience both on Thursday and other times we have dined here, we give the restaurant and wait staff five stars.
