Best Live Music Restaurants in Cincinnati

It surpassed my expectations. The food, the service, the beauty of the art deco surroundings dressed up for Christmas made for a joyful and memorable experience for our three-generation family gathering. We hope to do this again!

Our annual Christmas dinner to Rubys was a great success as always. Truly a great night. The ambiance of the restaurant pairs so well with the holidays. Tony was our waiter as he has been for the last decade plus and does such a perfect job. Best waiter in town!!! Lupe his assistant was also great. Started out with oysters and two sushi rolls. All excellent. The oysters were really outstanding. For steaks Tony convinced me to try the Wagyu Ribeye gap. It’s not cheap, but it was one of the best steaks I have EVER had. Such an amazing flavor profile and great crust. Although it could have been a little more done to a true Med Rare. It was a great steak!!! Everyone’s else’s steak was made to perfection as we expect from Rubys. Finished with a slice of buttered pie. An outstanding meal and great Christmas tradition!!!

Had a lovely relaxed lunch after visiting The Taft Museum. The hotel lobby and restaurant felt festive for the holidays - we were seated right near the gas fireplace which we appreciated. Tables are far apart so conversations feel private. Service was attentive and our cobb salads and bread basket were both delicious. We'll be back!

This is the second time that I have dined there, and both experiences have been exceptional! Our server, Brandon, made sure that the timing of our food was perfect. That’s something that’s super important to me. He had great recommendations and he, as well as his assistant, where incredibly attentive. The food was equally as amazing. I think their sides are hands-down, the best sides of any steakhouse around. Definitely becoming one of our favorite places to dine. 

I got very very lucky and got a last minute reservation for a date in the Den! Every staff member we came in contact with was sweet and seemed to be having fun :) Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to have a unique and colorful night out. Drink options were plentiful, and I absolutely adored the #4 sour inspired cocktail
