In an impressively renovated former gentleman’s club that also houses
an upscale banquet business, the Phoenix is Cincinnati’s best-kept fine
dining secret. Its dishes are impeccably rendered, and the menu has
gotten much more adventurous in recent years. Offering such delicacies as prosciutto-wrapped prawns and beef tenderloin kebabs to start, filet mignon “Oscar” and Dijon-rubbed rack of lamb as entrees, it more than lives up to the splendid setting. Altogether, an eminently civilized place. The Phoenix, built in 1893, provides an elegant and incomparable turn of the century ambiance. Renowned architect, Samuel Hannaford, best known for his design of Music Hall, designed one of Cincinnati's finest examples of Italian Renaissance architecture with his creation of The Phoenix building. |
