This restaurant is a treasure and checks all the boxes for what a great restaurant should be. No, it's not the fanciest restaurant. It's more of an upscale bistro. The cocktails are fortified, the wine list is not huge, but very acceptable and the menu is perfect! I was in town for a healthcare situation and I did not experiment. The first night I died alone at the bar and went directly to the French onion soup and the beef/tuna tartare. I finished it off with a Stinger. It was a perfect evening for me, and I always find that I see old friends and make some new friends at Le Bar a Boeuf!

extraordinary food at a price in an out-of-the-way location in EastWalnut Hills. Excellent wine list. Very crowded and noisy on weekends. be sure to make a reservation.

Definitely a delicious experience in a beautiful space. We came close to sunset and had a lovely view of the river. There were quite a number of specials that the server ably rattled off- perhaps too many as we had a hard time remembering what ingredients went in which dish. It was little details like this that made the experience more of a 4.5 star experience instead of a 5 star one. Our table began with a special starter of short ribs, local grits, and shaved black truffles. It was beautifully sauced and flavorful with balanced truffle flavor. The plate was fully cleaned! We also had lobster Mac and cheese to share. Done in French style with silky sauce, any of the Mac and cheese choices would make a great main choice. My dinner was also one of the evening's specials- venison! I don't often have a chance for venison and it didn't disappoint. It was perfectly cooked with a nice sear. Sauces poured at the table were a nice touch. For dessert we had both the creme brûlée and chocolate pot de creme. Creme brûlée was good but standard. That pot de creme though- rich and decadent, it was a great ending to the meal.

Great food & service - last min bite with a friend who had never been to La Bar A Boeuf. We had the Pumpkin Ravioli, Crab Cakes & Salmon Appetizer then shared the Short Rib Entree. All delish! We ordered: Pumpkin Ravioli stuffed with ricotta, sautéed spinach, oyster mushroom & thyme brown butter Crab Cakes with cabbage slaw Salmon tartare with potato croquette, onion crème, radish, egg mimosa & frisée Short Ribs with parsnip purée, crimini mushroom, rapini, roasted carrot, caramelized shallot finished with red wine demi-glace - we specifically asked for the meat to be served separately

My Mr. was researching best French restaurants in the Cincinnati area. He wanted to take me out for early Valentines dinner. This came up and of course it's owned by Jean-Robert. So you know I was looking forward to that! It's located at the Edgecliff building. You can park in front of the building (which is limited) or in the garage. The view from the restaurant is amazing. Overlooking the hills and homes of Cincy. The inside is very cozy and inviting. Love the cow theme! My Mr made reservations on a Saturday night. We were seated right away. Top notch service! Our server was excellent! Very detailed and down to earth. Menu is small yet everything looks delish! So hard to choose! We ended up ordering: Escargot Bernard Baudry Chinon Cabernet Franc Petite filet mignon (chef's special) Halibut (chef's special) Parfait (chef's special) All were specials for the night. I liked that Jean-Robert based the meals with The Cincinnati Bengals theme. Since they are playing the Super Bowl this year. Plus it gives us a reason to come back and try the other items on the menu. Wow! So we started off with the escargot. I was blown away! The garlic and lemon breading was amazing! It had great flavor. It paired well with the wine! We got our meals and I am in loss for words! The best filet mignon I've ever had because the sauce and the veggies that went with it. Comfort food at its best. It was like eating homemade roast beef but better. I had a taste of my Mr's Halibut and it was flaky and just melted in my mouth. I was even scraping the sauce on my bread! It was that good. At the end I wanted more! So I saved room for dessert. The parfait was divine! Next time I want to try the crime brûlée! I want to add that our server was nice enough to take our picture outside overlooking the Cincy view. Thank you! Okay... we are coming back! Such a wonderful experience! Everything was perfect!

Excellent! Our dinner here last night was fabulous. After ordering cocktails - we ordered the Escargot and Salmon Tartare for appetizers. While we sipped our cocktails we were brought some French bread and butter to nibble on. It was quite good, both fresh and warm. The appetizers were awesome! The escargot were done perfectly and the salmon tartare delicious with the lemon dressing. My husband ordered the Steak Frites and I ordered a special - a Filet. They were prepared exactly how we asked and were excellent. The service was great too!
