• Mediterranean • Cincinnati

Booked 30 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.

This was my first time at Jeff Ruby’s and I would definitely return again. My friend and I went for her birthday and they had a special menu with a birthday message for her. Our server, Michael G, was very informative and witty. Every staff member we interacted with was chatty and welcoming and the food of course was amazing. We will definitely be back soon!

The igloo was great, our server was very nice. I disagreed a little bit with the minimum because we were the only people there (no other igloos were booked, and it was lunch time) - but all in all it was good!
