We very much enjoyed our experience here! The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, they definitely know their cheese. I love how the plates are curated based on what they have on hand & even by your flavor palette! They do ask preferences (so if you don't want a blue cheese, just say that ). The space is small, but cute. If you're purchasing anything they do provide samples & package your purchases very nicely. Highly recommend!

UPDATE from my first review: Still going strong at The Rhined. Best cheeses around and awesome charcuterie board selections. Still on the high side of prices, but you get the quality you pay for. We usually use this as a treat for ourselves or gift cards.

Raclette sandwich, thanksgiving sandwich, and a glass of Riesling!

I have been here a few times now, some to just pick up cheese and some to dine-in. The staff has always been knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming. The food has been delicious! We recently got sandwiches, the Thanksgiving-style (Brie, cranberry, Turkey) and the raclette... yummm!

I'm a cheese freak. I love all things cheese - so I was happy when we stopped in The Rhined while shopping in Findlay Market. I've read/heard great things and they were all correct. This place is awesome! Firstly, I need to point out the service. It was fantastic! The young man behind the counter greeted us warmly when we walked in and then enthusiastically described some of the cheeses they had in the case while we browsed, recommending some based on our tastes. We picked out 5 different cheeses - Bijou, Brabander Reserve - Black Betty, Prairie Breeze, Manchego and Rattlesnake. We also bought a small bag of Crostini and a small jar of jam, Cherry Habanero Jam. All of the cheeses are delicious! The jam is really good too. I'll be back again for more great cheese and great service!

Looking forward to placing our order.

3ish overall rating First off, a lovely addition to Finley market. You can pop in for any hosting charcuterie needs, wine or sparkling wine. Bring your "green." This place reminded me a bit of a neighborhood cafe in a small town in Italy. Pop in for quality meats, combined with cheeses and spreads to your sandwich with a glass of vino. With very minimal seating! Missing were more options to stand as you would down an alley in Rome. And the sounds of music in the background and servers aware of your every need. The Grinder is what carried the most weight of my rating because it was outstanding. Amazing! So many ingredients, flavors and textures that married together excellently and hugged the heart of this sandwich with the softest bread. We loved it! The second sandwich, whose name I already forgot competed with itself. It was too tangy and the combination of ingredients over-shadowed each other. The entire experience made no sense. The main reason it hovered a 3 was because of the service. I sat at the bar and watched 3 servers work, and I often had to ask for what i needed. Our drinks were never replenished or were we asked if we needed anything. We wanted to experience this place so we shared plates and had them delivered in courses. Yet, they only brought us one plate for two people. What? Our station was not pre-bussed either. And like Europe, we had to ask for our check. I got deli service with 4-star restaurant pricing. I'll consider returning in warmer temps to experience the bistro style seating outside in hopes the service is more client aware and delivers on the 4 or 5 rating many gave this place.

some of my favorite cheeses
Myhgail J.

one of Cincinnati's very very very best. the crew is so knowledgeable and helpful. they always have a smile on their face and are surely to put a smile on yours. I came in years and years ago and fell in love with Prairie Breeze which was my gateway cheese to my cheese addiction. now I gladly let the cheesemongers take the lead and they always come up with a tasty adventure. you can tell them what kind of cheese you like and they will happily recommend something for you. come in with an open mind and you're really in for a treat. oh and DON'T skip out on their sandwiches! I dream about Campbell Alley. grab a seat in the cozy space or sit out back in the secret patio. the perfect spot on a beautiful day!

Amazing meats and cheese!
Lorinn S.

Yum! Amazing cheeses and meats, wine, beer, nuts, fruits, and lots of other items. The name was so cute, so we ventured in. Thrilled we did!! Great employees who were fun, knowledgeable and very nice! Delicious!!

When I'm having a bad day, week, month... the answer is always The Rhined. All I need is a cheese board and a glass of wine in the courtyard and all is well. The courtyard feels like I'm in a different world and i can forget about life for a while. I do also enjoy sitting at the counter and chatting with the cheesemongers. They are so friendly and knowledgeable and kind. I always order a "cheesemongers favorite" board and tell them a cheese mood I'm in, and they ALWAYS come back with a perfect board for my current state of being. I have recently loved their fresh mozzarella nights and I come as often as I can. Stephanie Webster also has a couple other projects- Oakley Wines and Bloom Room- that I also love and tie nicely with The Rhined. Thanks for making my cheese dreams come true!

What I don't like about bacon is the rhined
Fox E.

One thing I don't like about orange peel... is the Rhined. I mean rind. I know that this is the pride and joy of this area and I understand why because they do have an amazing selection of local stuff. But I was very spoiled by growing up in England where you can get some of the most amazing cheeses and meats you'll ever have in your life and they're a lot cheaper than this for the most part. Because of that I can never give a place like this five stars - however for the uniqueness and originality and local flavour I do give a 4. A lot of the local cheeses - to me - while their heart is in the right place - are more like two or three stars when you actually taste them compared to the stuff that I grew up with. I'm not into wine at all so I can't judge that but I can appraise the prices here and they are pretty high. Maybe in New York City or San Francisco this would be an average price place or even cheaper. But in Cincinnati it's expensive. And you can look at the demographics that are coming here and you can see for yourself that it's not a place for the majority of Cincinnati locals, especially people who live near OTR... it's a place for the well-to-do of Cincinnati. Flying the flag for gentrification and all. The stuff isn't particularly healthy for you either (I still don't think humans were meant to eat meats and cheeses, especially processed salted meats, but I still do sometimes and enjoy them), but having said that there are a few gems here if you look hard enough and it is an adorable shop and the people in here were friendly even though I didn't have the beard or tattoos to match the rest of the cool clientele.

You can place an order ahead of time, but I was just in the neighbored and made an impulse stop. It's a small store, so I had to wait outside until the group before me was done, but it was a nice day so I didn't mind. I got the cheese curbside pick up cheese tray. It was a beautiful selection with a variety of nuts and fruits and garnishes. It also came with a pack of crostini's that were delicious. I recommend this shop for all your cheese needs!

Grinder and brie and fig sandwich
Laura N.

My husband and I stopped in on a beautiful Saturday night around 7:00pm. We were in luck and snagged a little table on the back patio. The other guests were finishing up and we ended up having the patio to ourselves. I enjoyed a summer flight of wines and my husband a beer. We shared the Grinder and another sandwich with brie and fig jam... Their menu is small, but anything you order is delicious! Lilly, our server was friendly and added to the enjoyment. I highly recommend The Rhined for exceptional wine, cheese, and atmosphere.

Misty R.

If you want great quality, amazing service and beautiful charcuterie boards, you MUST go to The Rhined. They were amazing to work with and the boards were loved by all of our guests. The cheese...OMG...the cheese is sooo good! We will definitely use them for future meetings and HIGHLY recommend you try them out. Take a gander at these beautiful boards from our meeting.

All I can say is WOW. We happened to stop by yesterday during their 8th anniversary celebration…read more I'd wanted to go for years, but they have very limited hours. Major oversight on my part. I will be making time in my schedule to go back. We ordered the small cheeseboard and added charcuterie. It contained their 3 main cheeses as well as small bits of fruit, nuts, and other goodies that were located with the cheeses that they would complement. We asked what type of meats came with the "charcuterie" option and we were told "whatever is on the slicer right now" but that they were all locally made- or at least regionally made. That works for me and both selections were delicious. We also bought the special chocolate chip/cheese cookies they had for the event and they were fantastic. What I really want to talk about is the cheese curds though. We bought some to take home (you can buy everything they use on the boards in their retail area too by the way). They're so flavorful and fresh. I'm going to make poutine with those and some fries from Heyday down the street and I expect great things. The space was clean and inviting and the service was amazing. Everyone was kind and knowledgeable about the offerings. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
