Court Street Kitchen

What a wonderful experience my wife and I had this evening, beginning with cocktails at the bar (including a custom-made, off-menu raspberry/lemon martini for her that she nearly chugged). We started with the phenomenal arancini in a delectable marinara, one of the most memorable dishes I've had in years. Our main courses (chicken cassoulet for her, branzino for me) were just as good, and generously proportioned. The service throughout was friendly, impeccably timed, and note-perfect. It was our first visit but it will definitely not be our last!

After COVID, elegant lunch experiences all but disappeared from almost every city in the USA.Here to report that Court Street Kitchen is absolutely the place to take your clients and colleagues for lunch.Order any of the salads with salmon added. This salmon is so perfectly prepared that it killed my severely advanced case of Bored With Salmon Syndrome. The team is highly professional.This is an exceptional experience.

I came back for another great meal. This time I had my brother, two sisters and brotherinlaw. They all raved about thee food . They loved the pepi risotto and the arancini among all the other dishes. You won't find food like this anywher else in the city.The service was impeecable. The vibe of the restauranrt is fun and enjoyment. After dinner or before you can go to the back room bar with plenty of seats, TV and some music. Although there is meterewd parking right in front , there are garages just across the street. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner at Coourt street kitch which I would rate one of the top resaurants in cincinnat. (Update)i.I had dinner after a recommendation to try out Court Street Kitchen. Wow, what a treat.Started with the Argula Salad. It really kicked off my taste buds.My main course was Roasted Lemon Chicken. This had incredible flavors that mixed perfectly, to give a beautiful combination of tastes that were delicious. Never tasted anything like it at any restaurant in Cincinnati.My desert was the olive oil cake, light and flavorful.I've never been so captivated by the beautiful combination of flavors in all three dishes.I used to work downtown. And this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. And I'm pretty picky.The service was great. And both the manager and owner stopped by our table to make sure everything was satisfactory and it was. Actually extraordinary.They are located on the south east corner of Court and Vine.On street parking right in front and parking garage just across the street.This is an intimate, comfortable atmosphere where conversation is easy.Court Street Kitchen is one of the very best restaurants in Cincinnati. I highly recommend it.--

We ate here before the ballet at Music Hall. The service was impeccable. Wine selection is extensive, we went with the Italian Pinot Grigio, my daughter had the CCC mocktail. We also enjoyed the filet & asparagus - which was fresh, crisp and expertly cooked. The risotto was creamy and filling. We will be back, even if the food hadn't been as good as it was, the service alone was worth coming back for!

Made it to Court Street Kitchen downtown last night and glad I did! One of the few restaurants in the city open on a Monday night and they delivered across the board--excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The grilled oysters are my new favorite!

Italian influenced food in a comfortable room.Located in the downtown area, the Court Street Kitchen offers generous portions and a variety of plates.The Arancini was nicely peppered.The Aragosta was flavorful.The service was attentive.

Finally made it back for food. Went for NYE dinner, hubby & I both agreed this was our best NYE dinner over the last 5 years of eating at downtown establishments. Patrick was a great server and answered so many of my questions about the menu. He was very kind the entire evening. Favorite item of the night was the olive oil cake, followed by the burger, the grilled oysters and then the scampi. We were both surprised with the value of the scampi, very filling with the appropriate amount of meat. The chili prawns were too salty, I would not order that again. The grilled oysters were delicious but weren't quite as fresh as places like Atwood. They were very large though. I will be back for lunch, brunch and the occasional drink. This place has some serious potential to really be around for a very long time.

Just a fabulous find for my evening at dinner with my power women's group. Totally enjoyed my meal, the space and service. I had their bread service, a delicious red beet salad and the hummus and vegetables as my main course. We finished up our meal with the olive cake and a flaming starkly candle. Will definitely be back

Best restaurant I've been to in awhile. Love the vibe (dance music- but not too intrusive), the service was great, and the FOOD!!! The mushroom ragu was what sweet dreams were made of. Everything we had was top notice (and we tried a lot)- though wouldn't do the Pepe risotto again (save those calories for the ratatouille or ragu!). Wow! Def a favorite in Cincy!

We had reservations for 6:00pm on a Sunday evening. It was the first time dining here for all four of us. The place is very cozy with blue hues and very comfortable booths and well-appointed restrooms. The servers were very friendly and attentive. I think we met every server, plus a manager maybe? during our dinner. 5 stars on service for sure. Our friends started with a delicious white wine and I had a very nicely poured vodka and soda. We all ordered different dishes so we could share everything. We started with the Amarillo Ceviche (it was the last day on the menu), and the Ahi Tuna Tataki. The Ceviche was out-of-this-world good and took you directly to the Caribbean (can't wait till that comes back next summer!). The tuna was so fresh in the Tataki but the amount of red onion overpowered the fish. We would have preferred a much lighter preparation. The burger was good, but oversalted. All four of us agreed on that, and that the fries were excellent. The shrimp scampi was comfort in a bowl. The lemon chicken was cooked perfectly but the dish was salty as well. I ordered it with haricot verts instead of broccolini and got a generous portion of beans. It was one of the better chicken dishes I have ordered out. The stand-out of the night was the branzino. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked beautifully. We ordered the lemon olive oil cake and tiramisu for dessert. Both were fantastic. The presentations were photo worthy as well. We will be back.
