Incredible. Amazing cocktails, wine, food and service. Texting everyone I know for their availability in an attempt to go back immediately.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Etxe truly stands out with a unique menu that is authentic and exceptional, with an incredible staff to walk you through everything. Book a reservation as soon as you can.
Laura
A very enjoyable and authentic Basque experience! The food was great and the service was very gracious, both friendly and attentive. We would have liked a larger selection of wine, but it was still a top notch meal!
Ann
Absolutely fabulous experience! Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. Each dish was balanced and so favorable - we especially loved the chickpea-spinach and artichoke tapas. The mushroom side dish offers an explosion of flavor, and the desserts were wonderfully balanced and not overly sweet. Cocktail and wine choices were great, as well. Will definitely be back!
Laine
Food and hospitality were exquisite. Easily one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati right now. They were even warm and welcoming to our 7-month old twins. Highly recommend.
Spencer
Fabulous service. They accommodated gluten free and corn free. Made suggestions and everyone was very attentive. Chef came and asked how things went while we were waiting for checked coat.

We enjoyed our dinner at Aperture. The roasted carrots were delicious. The trout was fabulous. The menu is unique and tasty.
Bill
This was our first visit to The Aperture. We cannot recommend it enough. The flavors of the food are outstanding - the charred carrots, the squid ink pasta, the swordfish, and the lamb. It was all amazing - an adventure with each bite! The service was excellent - our waters were topped immediately. My wife and I were with a couple of elderly ladies and our waiter in particular, but the entire team as well were so patient with them. We will be back!

We had another wonderful meal at The Aperature and the service couldn't have been better. Everything was delicious, but my absolute favorite was the Haikkado scallops. Not at all what I expected and thoroughly delightful. Our server (I'm sorry, I can't remember his name) was patient and helpful, and brought us a little extra something to sample with our meal. Charmed! We also had the leek and anchovy appetizer, the rabbit paparadelle, and the chocolate raspberry sponge cake dessert. All were wonderful, but oh, the scallops! Please bring back the fried mushrooms and hamachi kama! We'll be back soon. You're restaurant is one of our favorites and we are so proud to show you off to our visitors. Congratulations on your well deserved local and national accolades.

True to its Basque roots Exte was a go from the first glass of wine to the Spanish cheesecake. We shared mixtos and tapas, our favorite being the veal sweetbreads. Our server was a fountain of knowledge concerning our bites...confident and caring. We loved our dinner here!
We loved our meal at ETXE. The food was delicious and very authentic to Spanish cuisine. We will definitely return and bring friends.

We booked a table at Aperture but didn't realize that another restaurant uses their space, their online booking tool, and Aperture's name when confirming and following up. The restaurant operates on the days Aperture is closed. It feels a bit like a bait and switch. The “fine print” should be highlighted a bit more. We would have appreciated complete transparency.

Amazing dinner at Etxe! The mushrooms, scallops, steak, and Basque cheesecake were highlights. We're so grateful to have this restaurant and experience in Walnut Hills!
Jason
We spent over $300 on a meal that was way too modernized.....It was not for our group for sure. Even the carrots that they are known for had the most offensive flavor to them. I've never been to a restaurant before that we didn't like anything we tried. Needless to say we left hungry, and went to Adriatico's. The hot honey pizza was amazzzing!
