This is a secret great restaurant in Cincinnati. We've eaten here a number of times and have always gotten excellent service along with fabulous food. It is only open for dinner Thursday through Saturday. The menu is seasonal and limited. They move to the summer menu soon. There is a separate bar menu also. Very solid wine list and bartending. Try it, you'll be stunned.

The new summer menu has some really good options. The other two couples with us had not experienced the Presidents Room and we most impressed.

Beautiful late 19th century Italian Renaissance architecture and first-rate modern American cuisine combined to make the Presidents Room a memorable beginning to theater night. The friendly, helpful service helped cultivate an atmosphere of celebration with a (very good) complimentary Prosecco, and the lovely wooden bar furnished us with excellent cocktails. Both dinner and desert were first-rate. It was also an easy walk to the theater afterward.

A hidden gem in the Queen City. I don’t know why this restaurant isn’t packed on a nightly basis. Everyone has been to an event at The Phoenix. The President’s Room is the restaurant on the second floor. Our dinner before Opening Night at the Opera was exquisite. The seasonal menu had something for everyone. The scallops I had were prepared perfectly, and the tuna tartare was equally delicious. The desserts were off the hook. Cookies and milk was 5 Star, if not a little small, but the chocolate torte was worth the trip alone. Servers are attentive and helpful. The dining room is grand and intimate at the same time. Well worth a special trip.

The staff made my husband's retirement surprise dinner a huge success. The meal was terrific! Chef treated us to several surprises. It was one of the finest meals we have shared in a very long time and certainly compares to any of the finest restaurants in the city. We were slightly disappointed in the ambiance as there was a wedding party in the bar which made the dining room quite noisy. Otherwise, our experience was just perfect!

It was great service, but the 5 course tasting menu was not a good value. Tiny portions and very expensive. Out bill was over 700.00 for five people. Although we did have two bottles of wine

Our favorite Cincinnati restaurant. Food is fabulous. I had the Tonarelli, my wife the duck. Both were great. My wife loves the potato leek sauce that comes with the duck. Inventive classic cocktails are always fun and half-price bottles of wine on Thursdays is quite a bargain. Service is exemplary. Stephan did another wonderful job. We especially appreciate all the little extras - complimentary sparkling wine, amuse bouchés, and chocolates to finish.
