For Jeff Ruby, this is the steakhouse that started it all. In 1981, The Precinct was born in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6. This turn-of-the-century, Romanesque-style structure would hold what is now the longest, continuously running fine dining restaurant in the city.
Recently named one of America's Top 10 Steakhouses by USA Today and Gayot.com, The Precinct is frequently recognized as having Cincinnati’s best steaks, seafood, and service. This consistent, high level of quality and overall guest experience over 4 decades has endeared Precinct to celebrities, business people, families, and loyal diners alike. The Precinct also offers a quaint outdoor patio area where guests may dine.

    Greg and Grant were excellent. Had a fun birthday experience and made an amazing memory ordering an Air Ruby (Air Jordan 1 cake).

    The service was amazing! We had Trev as a waiter. He was exceptional! The food was beyond delicious - as usual! No other steak or restaurant can even come close And trust me we have tried MANY! Jeff Ruby Restaurants are the best steaks by far throughout the country! My personal favorite is the Steak Collinsworth, my husbands is the Cowboy! We even have leftovers! Hands down the Best Restaurant for Steak out there!
