    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!

    Absolutely an amazing experience. The service was outstanding and the views were amazing. Dinner was cooked to perfection. It's pricey but great if you want to splurge

    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.

    Seafood Risotto (those scallops were cooked to perfection)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Bellevue roll
    Ellie T.

    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.

    When they stop charging extra to use a credit card I'll consider returning. Until then, I'll go to Walt's and Ruby's for a great steak.

They have a charming patio at the back of the interior space as well. I didn't realize they have their own lot, but in case it's full, there is plenty of street parking nearby. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and kept drink refills flowing. We ordered the pretzel and beer cheese and the poutine for starters. The pretzel was huge and tasty. I didn't care for the beer cheese, probably because I was expecting a more solid cheese product. I would describe this more as a cream sauce. It didn't seem to have much cheese in it and was very 'liquidy'. Also the ramekin was only half full. If it had tasted better, I would have asked for more, but as it was not, we didn't even finish what was given. I thought it was a bit pricey at $12.95 for one large pretzel. On the other hand, the poutine was fantastic! A very unique take on the dish with a mix of cheese curds (although they reminded me more of pieces of mozzarella sticks), french fries and Andouille cream gravy. I ordered the fish tacos which consisted of Blackened Salmon, Thai Chili Sauce, Black Bean Corn Salsa, Pico de Gallo. My order came with two and they were fantastic! Since Blinkers is known for steaks, I will have to give them another try at dinner time.

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.
