Top Cincinnati Places to Dine for Valentine's

Previously Nee and I told you about our top picks for this Valentine's Day, but whats a good date without dinner? This post is all about the best places in Cincinnati to chow down this Valentine's day with your significant other!

$$$$ for the ballers--
1) Our first pick for a fancy feast is Jeff Ruby's Precinct or his Steak House downtown. The thought of his bone in filet mignon is literally making my stomach rumble as I type. This is the best place in the city if you are looking for a romantic and impressive meal. You will not regret the bucks you pour out there. Be sure to sample their Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. Ladies make sure you wear a loose dress to this one that way you can stuff yourself without needed to unzip or unbutton anything! For reservations call (513) 784-1200.

2) Our second pick on the more pricey side is Orchid's Palm Court. I personally have not eaten dinner here but their brunch is to die for, so I can only imagine that their dinners are out of this world. This restaurant looks like it is straight out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel! It is the perfect romantic location for those couples who are old souls. It will take you back in time. Orchid's was named OpenTable's #7 Best Restaurant in the USA for 2014! For reservations call (513) 564-6465.

3) Our final pricey pick is the Melting Pot. This place is for our quirky couples out there. The Melting Pot is all fondue. When you are seated you choose from a plethora of cheeses and meats and dip away. And for dessert you get to choose some excellent fruits for your chocolate fondue. This is definitely a different dining experience, but what is cuter than feeding your special someone a fresh chocolate dip strawberry? Dig in! For reservations call (513) 530-5501.


$ for those of you on a tighter budget (aka me because I am in college) here are some of our options!

1) IHOP- now don't roll your eyes, what is more special than dressing up and eating breakfast for dinner? Those heart shaped pancakes are second to none and it is hard to resist bacon at any time of the day! No reservations needed for this fancy establishment!

2) Any pizza lovers out there? This one is for you! Word on the street is that Papa John's will be bringing back their delightful heart shaped pizza this Valentine's day. Order a large, rent a few movies and cuddle up with your special someone!

3) As lame as this one sounds, White Castle is always an option on Valentine's Day.  Make reservations and feed each other while you crinkle your face with some of those yummy crinkled fries.  Wear the chicken rings are your bling and scarf some burgers down.  Just don't wear something super nice, because you'll end up smelling like it!  No reservations needed!!
