"Jeff Ruby, who famously banned O.J. Simpson from his restaurants, is the original larger-than-life food personality of Cincinnati. That’s reflected in his eponymous downtown steakhouse across from Fountain Square, the city’s front porch. The restaurant features a solid bronze replica of Wall Street’s iconic Charging Bull statue (commissioned in Italy from the brother of the original artist) and an 1860 Steinway baby grand piano made of 23-karat gold-plated bronze and mother-of-pearl. Ruby coined the term “culinary entertainment” to describe his restaurants, and the only thing more over the top than the decor is the menu. A raw bar serves up colossal shrimp cocktail, red king crab, and caviar. Steaks — like a 22-ounce, 70-day dry-aged, bone-in rib-eye or a Japanese A5 wagyu filet mignon — can be crowned with blue cheese butter, king crab, or bourbon peppercorn sauce." - Andy Brownfield
