Consistently chosen as Cincinnati's best place for steaks, the Precinct gets its name from its location in a former police station. An outstanding example of 1901 Romanesque architecture, the turreted red brick structure is on the National Historic Register. The menu sizzles with restaurateur Jeff Ruby's signature, generous portions of hand-cut beef and fresh seafood and an exceptional selection of international wines. Appetizer specialties include pan-fried crab cakes and Tiger shrimp cocktails. Dinner guests are tempted with entrees such veal chops, wood-grilled swordfish, and Jack Ruby's Gem, a bone-in filet mignon Chateaubriand cut.
Private banquet rooms invoking 1940s elegance are available for private functions and meetings of 30 to 100 guests. The Precinct serves dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 10 PM and Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11 PM. Entrees range from $31 to $50. For more information: 513-321-5454
