Fine Dining Restaurants near Cincinnati, OH

“Beautiful restaurant. The staff were good, except for our server. She was constantly trying to push alcohol at us, and we weren’t planning on ordering any. When we got there,We told her we were waiting on two others. Before the people we were waiting on arrived, she must have asked us 3-4 times if we were ready to order drinks other than water. Then after the others arrived, it was another 3-4 times. After we repeatedly said that we were going to stick with water. Then after our meal was finished and we were ready for dessert, she brought a complimentary glass of wine for each of us. I was appalled. After we sat there all night telling her that we didn’t want alcohol. I am thankful that we didn’t have someone at our table who was a recovering alcoholic. I mean, can you imagine? I’ve waited tables before, and if I had a whole table be so insistent on not ordering alcohol, I’m definitely not bringing them free drinks. She claimed it was because we were celebrating our anniversary. Well, maybe bring a free dessert instead or something. Or just say happy anniversary. She also interrupted us a lot, like came over and talked over us while we were in the middle of conversation. And she talked A LOT. I mean, we were trying to have a nice celebratory dinner and she was constantly interrupting and talking. I gave the service a four star rating because every other employee that we dealt with was awesome. If it wasn’t for her, it would have been five stars.The food was pretty good. I forgot to take pics, because I try not to have my phone out at a nice dinner. But I ordered the beef tartare, foie gras, and spring pea cappellacci. Beef tartare and foie gras are my two favorite dishes. The ones here were good, but they were probably the ones that I liked the least out of all the places I’ve tried them. The tartare was served with tiny little delicate waffle chips that broke immediately if you tried to put the beef on it. So I ended up just eating the beef with my fork, which was a first. It was also under seasoned. The foie gras seemed either of a lesser quality than I’ve had in the past, or not prepared as well. Usually, cutting through it is as easy as cutting through room temperature butter. There were times that the foie gras squished when I tried to cut it. The cappellacci was stunning. Really quite good. I did not expect that to be my favorite dish.Overall, I loved the atmosphere. Food was good but not great (especially for the price), and the server needs to work on her approach. Probably won’t go back.“

“We’ve been to Primavista twice and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The food is absolutely delicious and every table has a wonderful view of the city!“

“A very nice experience eating out. The food that we had there was very good but I will say that the wine that was suggested to us for our meal was not a great match. We also had a little bit of trouble when the waitress did not come to check on us for sometimes long periods of time. The restaurant and the experience were very nice and I think a lot of people would like this place.Parking: There is a parking lot where you can park yourself if just a little bit further away. The majority of the use of the parking lot that is close to the restaurant is valet parking so this is really nice if you are going with someone that is walking impaired or has trouble walking.“

“This place has good food. The drinks are mostly reasonable, and they have a huge selection. They have special event drinks when shows come to the Aronoff Center across the street. Happy hour specials are fantastic, and each table is separated enough to give privacy. The only thing that drops a star from 5 is the absence of Haggis from a scottish menu. If they ever put it on the menu I'll stop by and hopefully give them a fifth star.“

“It has been quite a long time since we have been to a classic Sunday brunch buffet with all the serving stations. 1931 did not disappoint. The setting is as enchanting as it was when the hotel was built. The tables are not packed in to permit the establishment to make as much money as possible. The food stations were filled, and regularly refilled, with a great selection of delicious items from which to choose. Guests were greeted at the egg and carving stations and were served sumptuous foods. The service was excellent, with servers who made us feel welcome and ensured we enjoyed Mother's Day.“

“By far best food and menu in the tri-state area. Shelly (owner) is awesome and super sweet. Best dessert also, but portion is super small. I don't like to be negative, it's the best food/desert you have eaten! Staff is fantastic!Parking: Huge lot. Parking never an issue.Kid-friendliness: Indoor and outdoor seating. Kids menu. Super kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It's fully accessible.“
