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.

    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!

    We made reservations that day and sat on the patio. There was street noise. The service was excellent. It was my girls first time. They loved iti. They were also giving tours to older customers checking out the patio this was a little bothersome.
