Birthday - wonderful experience and will be back

First time for our daughters - we knew they would love it and they did!

I had a reservation, and was seated immediately. The service was prompt and professional. The courses all came out in a timely fashion, and each serving was very eye appealing. Everything was prepared and cooked to perfection. We were never rushed and they continued to serve water and coffee. It was a pleasant evening and will not hesitate to go back. It's a high priced restaurant with excellent food.

It was delicious. A little noisy which made it hard to hear our waiter. But, overall, very good

Great experience from beginning to end.

We had been to the Precinct one time before a few years ago and it was excellent then.
We celebrated my wife's birthday on Friday, April 20th 2018 with dinner at the Precinct. The wait staff was perfect as was the food. My wife had the fillet cooked a perfect medium rare and I had the NY Strip cooked medium rare as well. Everything tasted great and we had a really good time. We were able to have a few drinks and talk and did not feel rushed. Also, the wait staff brought my wife a piece of cheese cake with a candle at the end of the meal. Although very full, we were able to eat it. It was a nice touch.
Will be back again in August with a larger group and have already reserved the Ruby Room.

Excellent food and great service :)
We will be back !

Excellent dining experience, from hostess to server everything was wonderful. Manager walking around (Jacob) checking on you was great also.

This was our first time at The Precinct and it didn’t disappoint.

Excellent service, waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful, water glass was always filled, used plates were removed quickly, bread was delicious, salads were crisp and tasty, steak is the best.
It is pricey and somewhat noisy, but the staff and the food is always wonderful.......which makes dinner worth the cost!

My wife and I had an amazing anniversary dinner. The new Steak Steele (Go XU) is without a doubt the best steak I’ve ever had.

It was a memorable meal. The steaks were amazing and the service was superb!

Amazing food, as always. The steaks are second to none. The service is that perfect mix of warm and friendly. Jordan does his job impeccably! All of the Jeff Ruby Steakhouses have amazing food, but the ambience and history of The Precinct are unique and make The Precinct the Cincinnati gem that it is.

Our company had a coworker in from Denmark and she enjoyed the food and ambiance very much as we all did. She has not stopped raving about the food, especially the filet mignon!

It was great everything was delish!

We moved away for 12 years and the Precinct is just as delicious as we remembered!

Food was PHENOMENAL. Best steak I’ve ever had. The only issue we had personally was that we have had reservations for two for over 2 weeks for this date night and we were seated at a table and would have rather had one of the booths just because it was a little more romantic. It was hard to hear my boyfriend over the other conversations in the room. Overall it was a great experience and the food was excellent!

Excellent service, ambiance, and food. The ribeye (The Lachey) was the among the best steaks I’ve ever had. Nice, quiet ambiance. The bananas foster prepared at the captains table was one of the best deserts I’ve had. Service was excellent. It is a long experience in the dining room, so I would not recommend it for smaller children.

Amazing😀 food delicious -best steak ever! First time there & wont be last

Crab cake was great, steaks were PERFECT. Love that the steaks come with a salad and a side. Wine selection was good too. My only complaint - the cheesecake didn’t have a crust! Not a deal breaker, but it could have been better. We had a wonderful time!

Good for Cincinnati. Overpriced not as good as I’d been told.

This my first time to the Precinct. I was very excited to go as I had heard so many good things about the food and service. I was celebrating my birthday.
The service was outstanding. Jordan was our server and he was very attentive but not overbearing.
We ordered an appetizer, salad, and shared an entree.
The food came out with ample time in between. We never felt hurried or rushed.
The appetizer was very good and what we had expected. The salad, which was a wedge, was drowning in dressing. Also, unfortunately there were too many croutons to the point that the garlicky flavor was overpowering.
We ordered the center cut New York Strip, medium rare. The steak was cooked perfectly. The downside of the steak was that it was way too salty and swimming in butter, to the point that we put the meat on a piece of
bread to soak up the excess butter.
We did tell Jordan, and the manager was very attentive and apologetic. She offered us a replacement entree, however we declined.
All in all the staff and service here were exemplary, I wish I could say the same about the food.

Very good service, good portions

First time at the Precinct. Outstanding service, great bar drinks and great food. Pricey, but great for making special occasions memorable.

Excellent all around. I also received a hand written note in the mail from our waiter Cory thanking us for dining there. Now that’s customer service. An absolute bucket list whenever you’re in Cincy area.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday with the entire family which included our 5 , 7, and 9 year old children. They were wonderfully accommodating to our vivacious group!

Our food was very good. The people who got steaks loved them. I had the beet salad, which was marvelous, and the crabcake (actually an appetizer, but large enough to be an entree), and the fried vegetables--cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc. All delicious! The server was very accommodating and didn't seem to mind catering to the two children in the group. We were in a small room with only three tables, which I much prefer to the larger room where everyone is so squashed together. Overall, an excellent dining experience. (And the birthday guy got a free dessert!)

Experience was good. Mashed potatoes were better than usual. I ordered my steak medium rare, it came medium plus. My husband ordered medium rare and his was cooked to perfection. My husband always orders the bone in filet. He stated the steak had a seafood flavor to it. Possibly a different rub? The table next to us ordered the macaroni and cheese, the waiter informed them the mac and cheese had been ruined and they could not serve it. Seemed like a rookie mistake for a Ruby's restaurant. We will return again, but I do believe other steak houses with easier access for reservations can deliver just as well.

Jordan and Zach were wonderful waiters. We didn't have to wait for refills. The salads were fresh and very sizable. Jordan noticed our steak wasn't done enough and without question grabbed the plate and apologized. The steak was back in no time. He even gave my husband more mashed potatoes as he waited. We enjoyed a complimentary dessert and photo for our anniversary. The manager greeted us at the table which was nice to know he was aware of our situation with the steak.

Had a last minute add with our daughter just finding out she made UC Dance team for the 2nd year running. The manager and server were more than accommodating and moved us to a private room that just happened to be available with absolutely no fuss. Food and service outstanding as always. Even got a complimentary cheese cake for our daughters accomplishment. Thank you!

The service was outstanding! I had a reservation at 9:15pm, we were greeted right away and sat within 5-10mins. The waitress was very upbeat, informative, and welcoming. The for was great. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Our experience was wonderful overall!!

Our only complaint is the steaks were slightly overcooked-not bad enough to send back- but for the price and the specialty of the house, the steaks should be perfect. Mac and cheese was very good. Service was attentive.

A most pleasant experience. Can't wait to go back.

Daughters birthday

This is our 3rd time there in 3 months! Amazing food and Service is top notch! We will be back soon!

So I gave the food for The Precinct a 2 out of 5 for the fact that it did not sit well with me. It caused me to become very sick 5 hours after visiting. That being said my wife did not get sick. We shared the mussels and they were delicious. She got the Petite Lilly and it was really good. We shared the Mac and cheese which was also very good. I got the Lachay with a baked potato and the Freddie salad. It must have been one of these items that was bad b/c my wife did not eat any of this. It all tasted great, but something was off apparently. We shared the carrot cake for desert and it was amazing! Our waiter Paul was very attentive, friendly, and provided great service. If it were not for me getting sick, I would have given a much better rating; however when spending $250 for a dinner with my wife I expect not to get sick.

The best in Cincinnati, everything was perfect!

Overrated steak especially for the price. The staff was outstanding! Shrimp Cocktail, Pork-belly and the salads were wonderful. Our bone in ribeyes we just ok. They were a little to overly charred and a lot tougher than other bone ins we have had at other restaurants. Too many other great choices in the big city we won't be back.

Service was exceptional. Steaks (the Lachey) flavorful, tender and juicy, mac & cheese was great, but the mushrooms were disappointing.

Great!! The March special was a pleasant surprise and definitely high value. We’ll be back soon!
