Salazar Cincinnati

Salazar would be a hit in any major city. It is obvious that Chef Salazar pays attention to details and the menu is simple yet sophisticated. The service is spot on and the atmosphere is simple but nice. I’d rate this a 4.8 star restaurant with reasonable prices. Definitely a worth while visit when you are in downtown Cincinnati.

Straight up the best meal we've had in Cincinnati

Service was amazing and the restaurant itself was stunningly beautiful, but the food was so mediocre that we were all speechless. The most memorable item was a dessert with a scoop of "smoked" ice cream that had the flavor of ashes from a campfire, absolutely atrocious. One person ordered a burger medium and got extra rare. The best part of the meal was the bread service with olive oil. At the end of the meal, they added a 20% tip on our behalf before we even saw the bill. We always tip well and absolutely would have tipped 20% anyway, and it made us feel like they thought like we were going to stiff them, which was sad since our waiter was so friendly and we really liked him!

If you remember one thing….. sit at the bar and ask for GW!!! He will take you on a culinary journey paired with the perfect cocktails! Plus he is just awesome. Very nice dinning experience and excellent dishes. Would highly recommend and hope we go again next time in town.

We came with my son who uses a wheelchair and struggles with cutting food due to strength. When I asked if they could take his pork chop back and cut it, the first waiter said let me ask if that is possible; however, the manager acted immediately grabbing my son's place and coming back quickly with a fresh plate, beautifully presented in easy pieces. The instant yes should be the standard, but the made up for it quickly. The food was wonderful and my son got to enjoy a fine dinner with ease. We will be back.' )

Really fantastic service at this restaurant. The food is quite good and unique. I had the pork chop and the sunchokes and they were both excellent. Very good presentation. If Michelin came to Cincinnati, it would be a one star.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had been to the old location and were eager to try the new location! It didn’t disappoint! We had the lobster rolls, special of the evening fish collars, halibut, blue crab pasta and butter cake. Everything was exceptional. We loved sitting by the kitchen and seeing the chefs at work. It felt like we were watching the bear just without the foul language. Highly recommend Salazar!

Excellent food, great service by India our server, but they need to do something about the acoutistics...way too loud in the dining room. My husband and I had to yell across the table in order to have a conversation. Definitely took away from what should have been an wonderful date night.

We recently hosted a client event at Salazar, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From planning through execution, the team made everything seamless and incredibly easy to coordinate. Our clients absolutely loved the evening. The food was outstanding, the service was attentive and professional, and every detail (particularly with our event liaison, Carrie Peter) was handled with care. The combination of exceptional hospitality and a wonderful dining experience created a memorable event for everyone in attendance. A sincere thank you to the entire Salazar team - we look forward to hosting future events with you. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier dining or event experience in Cincinnati.
