Restaurant L

A great experience to combine with a concert that followed the meal.

Service has really declined since the last few times we visited. Courses were rushed and entrees weren’t even described when served. Had to ask for bread. Food was cold.

Upon arrival we were greeted quickly by staff that were not only friendly they were excited to meet us.
Dining room was eloquently decorated and the way tables were arranged made it feel intimate. Hard to say what was better the food or the service as both were 10 out of 10...
Price points are high but worth every dollar. Great way to celebrate my 65 birthday-we will return.

Restaurant L continues to provide the best service, food, and wine in the city for those who truly enjoy the fine dining experience. The dining room is elegant and enchanting. The sweetbreads, foie gras chaude, and venison are delicious. I was the first to try this autumn's venison preparation and it was exceptionally tender and taste worthy. Their combinations, presentations and wine pairings are culinary artistry.

It was our anniversary. Loved the ambiance and the service was impeccable. The food was as expected- awesome! It was an unforgettable experience. Definitely a must to visit. Richard did a great job creating a comfortable atmosphere to dine.

The food was excellent and the service impeccable. I highly recommend L for special occasions or for just an excellent meal in a beautiful setting.

Food and service were fantastic. Really impressed my wife for our 8 year anniversary.

Have been here multiple times. Food, service, ambiance, perfect. Never a miss.
THE outstanding restaurant in Cincinnati.

Overall the food and service were good. We just wished the flavor of the rabbit was more prominent. Although good, if we had not know it was rabbit, we would have thought it was very juicy deep fried turkey breast or chicken.

Went for lunch at this restaurant. Great atmosphere and impeccable service. Food was very good, specifically the burger, Chicken breast sandwich, foie gras, and shrimps. The duck confit was good but a little overpowered by the vinaigrette and salty. Overall, very good. Would definitely recommend, order the duck confit with vinaigrette on the side though. And last but not least the creen brûlée was excellent!

Please improve the wine pairings... Service was impressive , Mike was amazing... sauces are very repetitive and flavors are forgettable. Place has a very high bar and did not meet it as far as food is related
Highlight was the potato leak soup and the pre-dessert cucumber sorbet drink. Overall, work in progress.

The best in Cincinnati. L is as good as Paris at half the Price.

Wednesday evening's visit to L is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Period. I can't stop talking about it and I feel that I should be dining there every night! While a trip to L is so special, an evening there is an amazing value at every level. The experience, the food....flavor combinations, the likes of which most people have never tasted, the service, the wine is beyond great! The decor is elegant but friendly and the music celebrates the whimsy and lightness of the chef himself! the perfect evening!

I feel that L is, sadly, one of the best kept culinary secrets in the country. This place is worth every nickel, every time!

Outstanding as always! Amazing presentation, interesting and delicious ingredient combination in a beautiful setting. Great place to celebrate!

This restaurant has some of the most inventive and delicious cuisine in the city. I love the quiet, cozy, intimate setting. The main dining room is small and elegant. The food presentation is amazing and the flavors are worth returning for again and again.

I highly recommend Restaurant L for the quality of food, service and ambience. We arrived about 20 minutes early and were seated immediately. Service is not rushed--it can be even leisurely--which is appropriate for the venue. We opted for the 2-course prix fixe dinner without the wine pairing. The amuse bouche, with its slight sweetness and a touch of creme fraiche, was a welcome opening, and both the lobster salad and watercress soup were a delight, with the distinctive flavors shining through. Equally excellent were the Duck (with blackberries, fennel, radishes, beets, farro and ginger duck jus providing a wonderful array of flavor) and the Filet mignon (the haricots verts, nebrodini mushrooms and bordelaise, yielded a wonderful medley of flavors. The selection of sweets, which I regret I cannot recite, were sufficient enough for a dessert without overloading us with sugar (the homemade marshmallow was quite a discovery!). We selected our own wine, but if doubts arise the sommelier directs diners to the appropriate bottle (and without skewing to the highest prices on wine list). All in all this return experience was superb, and we will be back.

Exceptional food and service! We can’t wait to come back!

Definitely for those who can appreciate and taste a big step up! The suggested wine to accompany the cuisine was just super. You also need to be prepared for the formality of gentle and social grace. From the minute you arrive, shown your table, etc. Alex and the supportive wait staff were so very helpful and made the evening great. Thank you L.

Stuffy, snobby, old fashioned, way over priced. Food was fair. The servers were poorly and overly choreographed. I will not be going again. Could not get bread to our table for 20 minutes. Sorry to be forward, but I’m saving you a lot of money.

Only great restaurant in Cincinnati since the Masionette...Others might be good but not in the same class.

Visited for the first fine for my birthday with 2 girlfriends. We were treated so wonderfully. I would say this place is not to be matched! Can’t wait to return.

Excellent in every way

Food was pretty good, but unnecessarily fussy and not fully thought out in some cases. Server really brought down the experience for us, especially for wine selection. Steered us away from multiple bottles I was interested into and did a very hard sell on much more expensive bottles. Was not gracious or welcoming; acted like he was doing us a huge favor by waiting on us.

Very enjoyable evening, delicious meal. Everything was perfect

This is a very fine restaurant with outstanding food and service.

Impeccable service. Beautiful decor. Thoughtful, delicious dishes. On-point wine pairings. One of our most memorable meals.

Wonderful restaurant. The decoration was beautiful. Food was delicious. Services was perfect.

ALWAYS IMPECCABLY PREPARED FOOD, INVENTIVE INGREDIENT COMBINATIONS, TANTALIZINGLY DELICIOUS ACCOMPANIED BY ATTENTIVE, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AND LOVELY ATMOSPHERE

As always, everything was perfect. Jean Robert and Richard Brown are gems for making Restaurant L possible.

Great food, great service, great chef. We had a wonderful time.

Great evening wonderful food and service

Terrific service. Loved the wine pairing. Our son and us had a great memorable time.

A very sophisticated restaurant for special occasions. Pricey, but to my wife and I, the food, service, and atmosphere are worth the small extra cost. The staff will let you guide them to the kind of experience you would like to have. We are kind of "foodies" so there are a lot of questions about ingredients and preparations. All answered with thorough knowledge of the dishes and a smile. The ambient noise level is very low and conversation is pleasantly easy. The dishes are always well prepared and tasty. We like to try fine dining and "celebrity" chef restaurants when we can and Jean Robert has served each of us 5 or 6 of the best dishes we have ever tasted.

Our only regret is that we can't afford to dine at L more often.

Food beautiful and delicious. Service extraordinary. Wonderful place for a special evening.

Just wonderful! We enjoyed every moment and detail. Made our anniversary very special.

Food was delicious! Good service. Lovely evening.

Very nice upscale restaurant. Food is something that you never have had before. A+++++

Restaurant L is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Ohio and will be considered by many as a top ten restaurant in the world

Everything about this restaurant was outstanding. Everything. First class dining at its finest.

My sister and I visited during Downtown Restaurant Week and we were not disappointed. The food was beyond excellent and the service was impeccable.
