Great place to wine and dine. It was restaurant week, so we took advantage of the three course meal. The dessert was so delicious. The customers service is great. I really enjoyed my time here at this restaurant while I was visiting Cincinnati. If you have something going on that's special. This is the place to go.

Came here for a date night out with the husband and had a great time with amazing food. The ambiance of the place is upscale without being too fancy so you don't have to worry about being too dressed up. We ordered the bone marrow corn pudding which was a hit with the husband, two ribeyes, and the Mac and cheese pancakes. The ribeyes were cooked perfectly to medium rare and had a delicious butter on the side to dip. The Mac and cheese pancakes are just what it sounds like with some pasta topped on a thin pancake served with a habanero syrup. I think we severely overestimated how much we could eat and ended up with a ton to take home but loved every bite. Our server was also fantastic and sweet and made it a great date night for us.

Black Forest cake - it was a little dry.

We took our daughter there for her 16th birthday. The steak was cooked perfectly. The experience wasn't as good as previous times we went but this was a Saturday night and they were very busy. With that said, service was still excellent.

This place really exceeded my expectations... Never being here before; I'm not going to lie I was a little judgy on their price points .... Definitely seemed a little pricey but I figured why not given a shot !!! And boy did they knock it out of the park. We started 2 really tasty basil & Gin cocktails along with the wedge salad, which was absolutely amazing. Loved the herb, seasoned tomatoes, and the blue cheese dressing was out of this world. For the app, we got these states which was also very flavorful and really loved the marinated mushrooms that really brought out the flavor of everything that topped the tartar.... We both got the filet, medium rare, and it was absolutely delicious and the regular old mashed potatoes were absolutely stunning as well really loved the garlic butter that was served with the filet. Everything was cooked to perfection and we absolutely enjoyed our dinner along with the excellent service!!

Raclette

Hadn't been in 3 years. We were celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary last night and everyone made our night feel special. The hostess acknowledged our special night right away. Our server Tasia was fantastic, I can't remember the last time I've had a server this good. In fact, we weren't planning to get steak but after she gave us a run down of the menu, it was evident we should try the steak. Tasia wished us happy anniversary multiple times and even sang us a sweet song. The 2 managers both stopped by our table to check in and to ask if we were celebrating. I was actually blown away by service which made it a bit easier to spend $200 before tip on dinner for 2. SOB helped make it a great night for us!!!!!!!!! The cute complimentary celebration ice cream was the icing on the cake. P.S. Don't skip the beef Wellington app. They also make a mean dirty martini.

Chilean Sea Bass

This restaurant has been on our list for a while. Finally got to try it on a Sunday night. Not crowded at all. First, valet parking is $5, which is a deal. Easy to get in and out. We were seated quickly. Host staff asked if we were celebrating anything and if there were any allergies. Seated at a beautiful half table/half booth. The patio area looked really cute so may try that next time. Others were celebrating and they take pictures at the table for you. Server was fabulous. She was quick to greet us and provided great recommendations. Drinks were refilled quickly throughout the meal. Started with the raclette of cheese with crostini, roasted garlic and a fruit compote. The cheese comes on a warm skillet with a candle to keep it warm. The mix of flavors was great. I ordered the Chilean sea bass for my entree. It came with potatoes, carrots and a delectable sauce. Perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the 6 oz filet with a blue cheese crust and the creamed spinach. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium and the spinach was great. He was able to pick out his own steak knife, which was fun. We ended with the Go bananas dessert. Bananas, ice cream, cookie crust all flambéed. Very good and a perfect end to the meal. We will be back. Top notch staff. Great food.

Ridiculous in the best possible way. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone--elevated, energetic, and just the right amount of indulgent. The food? Unreal. Every bite felt dialed in to perfection--bold, rich, and memorable across the board. And the service matched it step for step: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. This wasn't just a great meal, it was an experience. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Will be back without hesitation.

One of the many pieces of artwork throughout the restaurant.

Wow -- what an incredible experience at Son of a Butcher! I went with a friend and we tried several dishes, each one better than the last. The Wagyu beef tartare was rich and flavorful, the raclette was a fun and gooey showstopper (make sure to add the garlic to your crostini or mix into the cheese), and the short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender which was served with a delicious risotto. We ended the night with the Go Bananas dessert, the perfect sweet finish. I ordered the Pineapple Princess cocktail and it did not disappoint -- refreshing, balanced, and tropical without being too sweet. But let's talk about the space -- it's stunning! The whole restaurant is a visual treat, from the decor to the lighting. It makes an immediate impression as soon as you walk in. I loved it so much fortunately was able to come back again just a few days later. I tried some additional dishes while here... a worthy mention the mac & cheese pancake might sound weird but trust me it is quite good. In all honesty, you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. If you're looking for a spot that nails both flavor and atmosphere, along with great service, Son of a Butcher is it. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!

The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was gorgeous but the food, the FOOD, was stupendous!!!

Filet mignon, Ribeye, corn brûlée, mashed potatoes
Barbara C.

Our steaks were cooked to perfection. As our sides, we had the corn brûlée and the mashed potatoes. Our server, Avery, was amazing. She knew the menu well. Picking our own knives for our dinner was a nice bonus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

The sweet card from our server

Where do I even begin?! This place was amazing! My husband and I decided to come to SOB to celebrate our anniversary. When I made the reservation, I was able to indicate that we were celebrating our anniversary. When we walked in, we were greeted with a happy anniversary from the host staff! We were seated in the room with books on the wall, etc. I was so intrigued by the art in the room. Our server, Tasia, was amazing! The whole staff was super attentive to us, actually. I didn't see any rum based cocktails on their menu so Tasia offered to bring me the rum menu and see what we could mix up. Well, I think it was the bartender who came back with her and offered up some suggestions. I ordered the Dark and Stormy cocktail. Normally, I'm not a fan of ginger beer, but this cocktail was really good! My husband ordered a glass of red wine and he really enjoyed it. We ordered the bread and butter appetizer. It's fresh made sourdough bread (a whole loaf) and a garlic butter candle. The "candle" melts down the butter for you to use on the bread. It's pretty amazing. For our entrees, I ordered the classic filet and the mister ordered the short ribs and scallops. We were NOT disappointed! Also, we got to pick our own steak knives - which is something I have never experienced at a restaurant. I chose a pretty marble handled steak knife. Anyway, the steak was so tender! My husband said his ribs were too - they just fell off the bone. The filet came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, Béarnaise sauce, and roasted carrots. I would eat those carrots all night long. They were delicious. My husband's meal came with risotto. He said his was also delicious. I wanted to have dessert being our anniversary and all. We decided on the Black Forest cake. It was quite the presentation AND it was delicious. This dessert is truly a piece of art! After we asked our server to box up our leftover cake, she came out singing happy anniversary to us with a cookie. She also left us with a sweet card and she took our picture with a super tiny Polaroid camera. We also had her box up the cookie, as we were stuffed. It's rare that we spend this kind of money when we eat out, but I do not regret any of the money we spent at SOB. The staff were all super attentive, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was definitely really cool. While we can't eat here super often, maybe a dessert date will be in the works.

SOB Steakhouse has the same owners as Agave and Rye, and you can immediately tell by the ambiance. The decor is loud and fun, so I wasn't really expecting a very elevated experience. I was wrong. Our server was funny, attentive, and knowledgeable. He made our night of for celebrating even more enjoyable. The food is delicious, though pricey (it is a steakhouse after all). I loved the crab cake and my filet.

The ambience was nice and the food was good . The duck wasn't the greatest . Overall the experience was wonderful

Is there valet parking?

Yes for a nominal fee

Does this place offer a kids menu?

Not that I am aware of.

How dressy? I mean the price point suggests dressy but the vibe is so weird I don't know what the heck to wear...

I'd say "date night" type of dress. Slacks and nice shirt. No jacket required.

You can either walk through the gun center or enter at the rear / side of the building. Either way it is a bit of a walk so could be a concern for anyone with mobility issues. I was surprised that there were not any disabled parking spots close to the side entrance. It's a large lounge, upscale and beautifully decorated though does not have an intimate feel. Majority of seating is tables vs. bar. The cocktail menu is unique and fun, with the different drinks named after famous and infamous gunslingers. I had a Baby Face Nelson which was attractive and delicious. At first I though it was a little weak but towards the end it hit with a bang (see what I did there). I also took advantage of the ladies night menu and got a $5 cucumber mint G&T. The cocktail pricing is what you'd expect, ranging from $12 to $16. The wine list is not extensive and I would not describe this as a wine bar. But, I would come here seeking a fancy cocktail anyway. No food served, but door dash menus are available and there is also a limited menu for direct delivery from the Indian restaurant across the road. The outdoor patio looks nice. We were there on the earlier side, around 5 PM on a weekday. Service was pretty attentive with only one waitress handling the tables. I think if they found a way to serve some simple appetizers and put in a railing along the walkway from the parking lot to the door (thinking of my husband here) I'd give it five stars. They have a weird rule in that they insist on scanning your ID, regardless of age, up until 7 PM any day - this is so that no one who orders a drink can go next door and shoot (where they also scan IDs). The shooting range closes at 7 PM. So shoot first, drink later.

The two waitresses we had were extremely patient and made sure we had what we needed throughout the evening. The food was excellent. I had the Chilean sea bass, which had the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, while maintaining its juicy, flaky texture on the inside. Even when I reheated it the next day, it did not dry out. Many others got the ribeye, and there was nothing but good reviews. The section we were in (enclosed patio area) was very cozy, with a fireplace built into the wall.

The thing is, this is the second steak place in under a month where the potato was an issue. In addition, the texture of the potato was off. I like a fluffy, melt in your mouth potato. I'm not sure how they are made in restaurants today. I bake in oven at home and never miss. Would I return absolutely.
