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.
