Best Steak Restaurants in Northside

Having been to a few of Jeff Ruby's restaurants through the years, including the fabulous new Fountain Square location, I wondered just how MRBL would compare. For our anniversary, we were looking for a nice celebratory experience with a nice view – and we could not have been more pleased! We began the evening with a Date Night Manhattan and a Blood Moon Paloma – each a perfectly crafted libation – as we looked out over the Ohio to the glowing Cincinnati skyline. Neither of us tend to have sizable appetites, so we went right on to entrees. From the beef Wellington to the Oscar-style bone-in filet and crispy, glazed Brussels sprouts... every bite was wonderfully flavorful. Everyone who served us, especially Lindsay, made our evening wonderful ... from the rose petals across the table to the complimentary champagne toast and dessert. Comparing with my Jeff Ruby's experiences? This was at least as good while at a lower price with a better view and free parking, all at an easily accessible location.

We were shocked to not be able to get lobster bisque! However, everything was wonderful, our server was terrific!!! The only friction came when we first entered from the older female hostess. It was very slippery when we came in and we mentioned it to the hostess. The two young girls were lovely and amazing as always, but the older woman - who we were not familiar with - was obviously annoyed and extremely short and dismissive.

Great date night! We had the Big Oscar Filet and the Black Truffle Filet for our mains. The mushroom risotto was delicious. The house made dressings on the salads were great. The crab cake napoleon was a wonderful starter. We finished with the carrot cake and chocolate cherry cheesecake cake. Both were perfect finishers. Our waitress was perfect with drink orders and getting our food out at the perfect time. She was very social when needed. The environment was nice and enjoyable. We were able to have a conversation and enjoy our time there. Well worth the visit. Thanks Jag's!

REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!

Celebrated Christmas Eve with my family. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Our server Alec was friendly and did an excellent job. The food was excellent as it always is at the Precinct. I had the boneless ribeye, my wife a filet with bearnaise sauce, and my daughters had the salmon. Everyone was happy with their choices and we had a wonderful evening. Looking forward to the next time we have an opportunity to go to a Jeff Ruby restaurant.
