About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
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.

    From the moment you get the valet through the entire meal, everyone is amazing. The staff are so knowledgeable and kind and they spend as much time with you as you need and leave you alone when you don’t want to be bothered. The food is so delicious and worth every penny.

    Always an incredible experience! The service is one of the main reasons we keep coming back — the staff is always understanding and ready to help you enjoy the night your way. And the food! We've tried multiple dishes, and every single one has been impeccable. This place has become a tradition for us whenever we celebrate special events! This time we had: Blue Crab Bisque Freddy Greek Salad Mexican Mai Thai Prosecco Chicken Piccata(seasonal... Get it while you can!) Steak Collinsworth Mashed Potatoes Baked Mac n Cheese (Birthday surprise) & Creme Brulee! Absolutely delicious!!!
