• Mediterranean • Cincinnati
Booked 21 times today
The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

    Best restaurant in Cincinnati by far! The cocktails are unique and innovative and each dish is crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients and presented beautifully. The flavors are bold and complex, yet perfectly balanced. The service is impeccable. Kylie was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and making recommendations based on our preferences.

    My only disappointment was the inability to get a hold of someone via phone, instagram or text prior to my visit with questions I had in regards to my reservation. They finally responded to y text however the day after my visit. Otherwise, the greenhouse experience was excellent!

    Our evening could not have been better. The service was friendly and attentive. Waiter, bartender, and sommelier responded to all our requests and went above and beyond, dividing our entrees since we shared two, finding the right wine when our first choice was unavailable and making an excellent mule! Appetizer of mussels was excellent. The two pasta specials were delicious, sea bass and gnocchi. On a snowy night it was cozy and relaxed.

    This place has become our favorite place for celebrating anything. Food is delicious and service is always great. Brewery beer on point. My husband loves the salad selection and I think the calamari is the best. Parking is also convenient since it's under the restaurant.
