Jason Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 What are your 2 or 3 favorite restaraunts? I think my favorite is Scotti's. It's an Italian restaraunt down town on Vine Street. The scalopini a la marinara is incredible. I also like The Maissonette, but it's in a class by itself. It really isn't fair to compare anything else to it. Jeff Ruby's is a pretty good steak place. And whenever I am in Cincinnati, I make sure I get to La Rosa's, Skyline and Deweys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jza10304 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I ate at Frisch's (Frish's???) Big Boy the first time I went. It was decent. I just loved the fact that I was eating at a Big Boy (wouldn't exactly consider that a restaurant though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Forget the maisonette..they're moving out of dowtown anyway.... ...fucking Comisars... For that level of cuisine, try: Any of Jean-Robert's restaurants (Pigall's downtown, JeanRo Bistro, also downtown, and Pho Paris, in Oakley, I believe) are HIGHLY reccomended, as is Daveed's @ 934 in Mt Adams, Boca in Oakley, Prima Vista in Price Hill...

My favorite is Jeff Ruby's (not jack). He also owns the waterfront, precinct, etc. but Ruby's Steakhouse is the best imo. Mortons is also extremely good and Palaminos is excellent and thats a step down from these in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoBengal Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Does anyone know the name of the place that is (was) next to the Maisonette - I wan't to say LaNormandy, but it's been a long time since I've been there. The prime rib was fantastic and they had the peanut shells all over the floor. Nice vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Jason, I believe the decision to move has been finalized, I'm unsure exactly where, but I think that the leading candidate was/is the Kenwood area...Covington was also courting them...

I figure most people here get to eat at a restaurant like this at least once in awhile (i know some dont though) but i know people that eat at these places multiple times a week. Jeff Ruby still owns the waterfront by the way. He owns 6 restaraunts: The Precinct, Tropicana, Jeff Ruby's, Waterfront, Carlo & johnny, and Jeff Ruby at Belterra. [url="http://jeffruby.com/"]http://jeffruby.com/[/url] Jean roberts is probably the best restaurant in cincinnati (i forgot about it). After he left the masionnette, they went down a notch.

Guest #22 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Before every Bengal's Home Game, the best place to go is Wertheim's in the Mainstrasse. You can park for free, eat a Jeagerschnitzel for lunch, and then pay a buck to ride the Shuttel to the game. I am going to settle this once and for all: Dixie>Skyline>Empress>Gold Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic [right][post="94670"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] His wife pushed him out of the car. He still owns he waterfront, its just that the barge that the outdoor club (coconut Joes) is on is sinking, so he sold it, it didnt matter too much anyway. My fav retaurants Bangkok Bistro, Eerie Ave, Hyde Park East Zips, Mt Lookout Boca, Oakley Bella, downtown, next to Maisonette Skyline Chipotle (yeah, not local owned, but..) Rubys, and Tropicana Benihana (it was better as the Samuari though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
