    Ribeye
    Oneya O.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Seafood Risotto (those scallops were cooked to perfection)
    Rachel H.

    The billboards for this restaurant have been catching my eye, so I decided our family would go this month to celebrate mine and my grandfathers birthday. The glass elevator elevated our initial impression as it lifted us to the floor of the restaurant. The view of the river, bridge and skyline is truly something else! We had a wonderful greeting from the attentive front desk who was sure to ask what we were celebrating and our names. I don't know that I've ever been to a restaurant where it seems as though a majority of the staff takes time to greet you. We saw management walking around as well who also were inquiring of our meals and experience. My sister is underage and I'm not a drinker, but mojitos used to be my favorite. Mrbl had a shockingly good mocktail menu with a No-jito on it that was amazing! From the bread to the dessert I cannot complain about a thing. Start to finish our experience did not disappoint. The portions were great, food was delicious and even their Mac and cheese may have beat my own. We had their mushroom chicken dish, seafood risotto, mashed potatoes, lobster mac and cheese, and filet mignon. Their birthday treats were some sort of brownie or mini lava cake with a more cream filled center. It was super rich (sweet) but delicious nonetheless. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had if not the best and I will be telling everyone to ditch their other steakhouses and try MRBL 10/10 highly recommend.

    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.

I'm not a crawfish person (too much work) so I usually get the Louisiana BBQ shrimp (which is NOT BBQ sauce - it's like butter and herbs and it's spicy but in a cumin way, not a Tabasco way). This time I got the wings that come with the same sauce and they are 10/10. Ranch dressing is housemade and the real deal. The char-grilled oysters are not to be missed. Happy hour has deals on both food and drink (as all good happy hours should) and includes oysters. Overall, prices are super fair because the portions are huge and most things come with a side or two. The jambalaya is worth bringing home if you don't have room and the cornbread is moist even the next day. And it's weird but I like the side salads, they aren't just white iceberg lettuce and two cherry tomatoes. Service has always been great. You can't get seated until at least half of your party is there but that's fair. We accidentally got a table for six and had eight show up and they just let us pull up a couple chairs and get in their way but acted like it was no big deal. Get there early because it fills up quick, including the parking lot. It's an old-school restaurant and the decor fits. It's got corny signs, tables made out of wine barrels and a fireplace in the corner. There is outside seating that I haven't sat at (I mean it overlooks a parking lot and there is usually someone smoking but at least it's there). There is a grumpy but capable bartender and young people working the host/ess stand who greet you cheerily and always say goodbye on the way out. Swampwater is right next to the Riverside Antique Mall, so make it a day and do some shopping beforehand. Both are more than worth the visit.

Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.

    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. Each course was like a piece of art on the plate! This is one of those special 'splurge' places that leaves you wanting it again. The space is small and cozy seating only around 20 people.
