Where is the Best Steak in Cincinnati, Ohio?
Waterfront is absolutely 5 star, PERIOD! Four of us came in from out of town, made reservation morning of, and were given excellent window seating. Service was completely professional and totally excellent. Our Surf and Turfs were superb, and the 16 oz filet was unbelievable! Everything was perfectly cooked. Piano bar area is a bit loud, but across in the restaunt half it wasnt noticable. The restauraunt offered an excellent wine list. Oh yeah, the sushi boat starter was exceptional. Bananna cream pie and creme bruleh were also outstanding! It is pricey dinner, expect to drop $50 per person minimum, but it is worth every penny. I would say this was one of the finest dinners I’ve ever had. Oh yeah….the view is really nice too :)Pros + Great view of Cincy Skyline, Exceptional Food, Great SushiCons – None except I cant afford to eat like this every week!
The SceneThe old Palbino’s location in Montgomery has been totally redesigned, the Tuscan look replaced by sophisticated tones of gray and abstract artworks. Fresh flowers, candles and the fireplace add softer touches. Bring glasses: The room is dimly lit.The FoodLike other upscale spots around town, Jimmy D’s has made dry-aged steaks the focus of its menu. These steaks are huge, flavorful and perfectly cooked, but side dishes like sautéed spinach, caramelized onions or garlic mashed potatoes cost extra. The rack of lamb for two, pork chop, and veal chop served with crimini mushrooms, tomatoes and mozzarella are other house favorites, and there are a couple of token seafood dishes. The portions are as big as the prices, so lighter appetites may want to make a meal of appetizers, such as the deliciously cheesy oysters Montgomery, beef carpaccio, or crabcakes, combined with a salad, soup or side dishes.
My wife and I recently ate here. I ordered the Manicotti… it was decent, but nothing to rave about.She ordered the Chicken Parmisiania… and it was the best meal either of us has eaten since… I can’t remember when we last tasted something so delicious. I know the restaurant is known for their stakes and, naturally, ‘chops,’ but if the Chicken Parmisiania is any indication of the rest of their menu, this has become, without a doubt, my favorite place to eat.Pros + delicious foodCons – not much parking
My husband stopped into El Coyote’s for a seafood enchilada and waited 50 minutes for it. There was some party of 40 in an upstairs room and they prepared their order in front of one measly enchilada. That is terrible service! On top of that, they overcharged him by 10 dollars. He got that straightened out, but they weren’t very apologetic about the whole thing. Most decent restaurants would have comped the meal for someone who waited this long with no explanation. He also waited a long time for a water refill. He watched other diners get chips and salsa, but they never brought any to his table until he asked. A waiter knocked his fork off the table and forgot to replace it. My husband is president of a Cincinnati company and had planned on having a sales meeting in the upstairs room at the Edgewood location. After this shoddy treatment, he will search for another venue. I tried to send a comment to them, but when you fill it out, it won’t go through.
