    One of the best restaurants! The food was AWESOME! I highly recommend the porterhouse for two. We ordered the potato volcano, Brussel sprouts, and Mac and cheese- do not skip the Brussel sprouts!!!! Our server was Jessica and her service was perfect!

    Steak

    I absolutely loved this restaurant--honestly, it may be better than any steakhouse I've been to. The steak was incredibly juicy, rich with flavor, and perfectly crispy on the outside. The mac and cheese was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We made it a New Year's treat and ordered the lobster sushi roll, which was surprisingly unique and amazing. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations. Despite how busy the night was, he was patient and took the time to answer all of our questions, which made our first visit even better. To top it all off, the chocolate cake was the perfect sweet ending to the night. We also loved the beautiful river view--and of course, the convenience of having parking. We can't wait to come back!

    Perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! The restaurant is very fancy (and the view of Cincinnati is stunning!), and jazz music was playing during the whole meal, absolutely a great start! The food was perfect as the amount, definitely worth its price! We got a salmon wrapped in puff pastry (perfectly cooked!) and a skirt steak that was juicy and tender. The staff gifted us the dessert, a banana pudding that was the perfect closure to an amazing night!

    Bellevue roll

    This was our second time at MRBL and the food continues to amaze me. Although I requested a table near the window (on open table notes) we were put in a booth. Slightly disappointing as you don't get the view of the city, however the restaurant was full and I understand not putting a table of two at the window. We started with the lamb lollipops (medium rare) and the Bellevue roll. I remembered liking the sushi better the first time we went but it was still good. I enjoyed the flavor of the lamb lollipops but they could have been more seared. We split the 16 oz ribeye and decided to try the MRBL sauce. Just WOW. I don't think I can ever have my steak without that truffle sauce again. For our sides we did the mushrooms that come in this buttery broth and are a must and also opted to try the truffle gnocchi. It comes in that same MRBL special sauce and is made in house. 10/10 recommend.

    Enjoyed a dinner for two at this upscale steak house. While steak is featured on the menu, the rest of the fare is pretty eclectic which makes this a great place for a group with different tastes. From pork chops to sushi and seafood risotto to salmon en croute, there is something for everyone. The potato volcano is a must try, but warning- it's loaded with (yummy) calories! Definitely a shareable dish. Not a fan of the Brussels sprouts- they were a bit too crispy for my taste. Loved the MRBL Salad, and while the beef was delicious, the presentation with the asparagus was lacking. I love that the venue is on the top of a high-rise building and views of the river can be seen through the large windows. I did feel like it was a bit crowded in the back room that we were situated in, and therefore a bit noisy.

    Ribeye

    MRBL is a spot made for special occasions. My hubs brought me there for our 23rd anniversary. The table was decorated with rose petals and we had a nice view of the river. There were three other rose petals tables, so it felt very celebratory. We started with the crab cake, which was quite good. Full of crab and a great sauce to tie everything together. I had the ribeye for my meal. It's not the best steak I ever had but it was cooked perfectly the first time. I couldn't say the same for my husband's fish which was way overcooked. The restaurant handled it quickly, returning with a new plate of redfish in short order. I'd recommend that you stick with the steak and also, avoid the Brussels sprouts; they were oily and flavorless. My absolute favorite thing was the MRBL sauce. I'm usually a purist and don't put sauce on my steak, but I'd put that sauce on anything. It made an incredible steak topper and dip for my bread. We ended the night with a complimentary dessert. While all of the food wasn't top notch, the experience and service certainly were. It's a great place for a special night!

    Snow Crab Salad
    Kim S.

    My husband has been wanting to go to MRBL for a long time, so we decided to celebrate Father's Day there this year. It's easy to get to and has a big parking lot with free parking, so that's nice. The restaurant itself is upscale and has a nice view of the Cincinnati skyline. Service was very good and attentive but we felt a little rushed at the end when one of us were still eating and someone came by and started to take away the side dishes. I like that the server gave us drink menus first and let us order those before handing us the dinner menus. We all ordered cocktails and very much liked them all. We knew dinner would be filling and didn't want a lot to eat before our meals, but I had seen a photo of the snow crab salad on instagram so we ordered one to share between the four of us. It was very refreshing and plenty to share between us. For our meals, we each ordered steaks and then two shareable sides-the asparagus and the potato volcano. Both sides were delicious. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about the steaks. I ordered a medium-rare filet with bearnaise, immediately I could see that it was a sub-par cut of meat, not as thick as a filet is typically. The bernaise was very thick, almost pudding consistency and very gritty. When I cut into my steak, it was a little under, I would say closer to rare than medium rare, but somehow dry at the same time. I didn't even know that was possible. The rest of the table expressed that their steaks were disappointing as well. I knew it was going to be an expensive meal but it definitely was not worth what we paid. 1 salad 4 steaks 2 side dishes 5 cocktails came to $520 after tip.

    Lobster Tail and Ribeye
    Shannon M.

    We started with the blue crab spinach dip and crab cake, both were delicious but the dip was so cheesy and creamy and I were still talking about it days later... we also ordered a round of drinks and I tried the french press margarita -- and let's just say I ordered two it was so good! For entrees, he did the special of the evening of surf and turf with the ribeye and lobster tail, I had the angry dragon roll, and we shared the potato volcano and baked mac & cheese. He said his was cooked to perfection, the sushi was a tad fishy tasting so I'll stick to cooked fish during my next visit, and the potato volcano was the winner by far! The service was impeccable and you can't beat those views of the river. We're already planning our next visit!

    Crème brûlée martini
    Brandie H.

    My husband and I took my sister to have dinner here while she was in town. It was fantastic! The views were beautiful, the service impeccable. We ordered crispy tuna rice and 2 sushi rolls to start. All were so delicious. My husband and I shared the porterhouse and macaroni and cheese with lobster. I am going to be dreaming of that macaroni for a while! It was so good I forgot to take a picture. We topped our steak off Broadway style which I highly recommend. I had the crème brûlée martini after dinner and it was very good. I can't wait to go back and have dinner again.

    Date Night Manhattan
    Michelle D.

    Again - Wonderful dinner and fantastic service. We had reservations here two nights ago for my husband's birthday. His friend is in town from NYC and came along for dinner. After cocktails were ordered - beer for the guys and the Date Night Manhattan for me and the complimentary bread service - we ordered the Ceviche' appetizer. The Date Night Manhattan is fabulous! The ceviche' was pretty good. My husband's friend ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, my husband chose the 20 oz. 45 Day Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye with the Compound Butter enhancement and I had the Filet with MRBL Special enhancement. The MRBL Special is a truffle mushroom cream sauce and it was amazing. I could have drank it straight from the dish. My steak was a perfect medium rare, tender and wonderful with added sauce. Both my husband and his friend said that their entrees were awesome. As was the Asparagus side that we ordered for the table. All of the service was fantastic. From the host at the front to runners bringing our food. Johnathon C. is a great server!

    The ribeye with the bone marrow and crispy onions. Cooked to a perfect rare plus
    Dan S.

    We went for Father's Day the view was spectacular and the service was attentive. However at this price point I expect better food. Our server explained they get their prime beef from a Chicago Distributer and how exclusive it is for them. I'm a big steak guy and frankly this was choice grade steak not prime. Which is fine, but if you want to sell at prime prices I have issues. The bone marrow was prepared perfectly, but typically bone marrow is served with toast points. The volcano potato, I had read so much about, was very tasty and the asparagus was perfectly prepared and a little unusual in a good way. We enjoyed them all. Overall an enjoyable meal, but at this price point I could have been at Ruby's or Morton's and had better beef.

    Food is always excellent here. Staff is kind and respectful. Service is great. Just hate how often they fill our waters. Super nice spot, great view, and super intimate, perfect for date night!

    Stopped in for a family dinner on a cool rainy Thursday evening. Wanted to check out the new place…read moresince it became McCollums. The restaurant did not disappoint. We had the filet mignon and 3 cheese Mac and cheese. The filet mignon had a very nice crust on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. We like it more on the rare side! The Mac and cheese was excellent. Had the key lime pie and crème brûlée for dessert. The service was excellent. The setting inside has been changed and some of the cool parts of York street still remains. Overall a very fine establishment in Newport !

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and great food. The place is very clean and well maintained. We started with the Heart and Palm Salad. Perfect portion tossed with homemade honey balsamic dressing, really good!! I had the Chicken Gumbo, meaty and tasty with a perfect amount of spice to light up the tastebuds. The Shrimp PoBoy bruschetta was very flavorful. My lobster dip was nice and creamy and work well on the sliced crostini bread. We all had the Blackened salmon with rice & beans. The salmon was perfectly cooked and very flavorful with just enough blackened seasoning to enhance the flavor. Food presentation was perfect, everything was plated nicely They have a great selection of bourbon. We chose ours after just three selections but they had many more. The owner came by our table and introduced herself, something you rarely see nowadays The cost was reasonable, and we have added this to our list of top restaurant selections in Newport, Kentucky. Thank our server, Sam for the great service and menu advice. Five stars.

    My husband brought me to Baker's Table for my birthday dinner. I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

    Wow! We went with a group of seven of us and were treated like royalty. Chef personally delivered…read moreour bread service and talked about what it was and how it was made.
