Best Family Style Restaurants in Clifton

10/10 we absolutely loved it. Ordered the goat cheese bread, short rib pasta, pork tenderloin, ricotta donuts and a bottle of cab!

We had a great meal for our anniversary. The service was outstanding and they attended to any need we had right away. Will definitely go again.

Enjoyable experience. Loved the lamb entree. Persephone cocktail beautiful and delicious. Tasty appetizers and desserts. Service was pleasant and appropriate.

Wow!! Aperture is yet another example of why Cincinnati is truly a foodie city. Very impressed with every not-so-little-detail Chef Jordan Anthony Brown put into this restaurant. The space is modern, yet intimate; the lighting is a perfect balance of mood and softness; even with a completely full restaurant, it was never loud; sitting next to the windows on a cold, rainy night, we never felt any temperature difference; the service from everyone was equally excellent, professional, friendly and attentive. Now, for the food. First, watching the chefs in the open kitchen was entertainment in itself. I could have watched this intimate look into the passion and precision of the preparing, creating, and plating each individual dish all night. Every dish we ordered was uniquely different in its presentation and flavor: simple, yet fresh, curious and delicious with combinations I have not previously encountered. The Fennel sausage pasta was perfect in its sauce distribution, flavor and al dente texture. The Stripped Bass delivered a flaky, crisp fish in an emulsion of light chowder-like sauce-Unexpectedly amazing. The simple fire-heated pita with the eggplant hummus was no less impressive. Thank you Chef Jordan Anthony Brown, and the people that work along side you to remind us how decadent and fun eating can be when made with love and dedication.

Great food and service and always love the photos on the wall and themed rooms. This visit was extremely noisy as a family of 6 with out of control toddlers was nearby. On a normal day I would have easily ignored, but this was Valentine’s Day and mood was spoiled. perhaps if couples had been assigned in same room and families with small kids in another?…….
