Since 2007, Nada has been delighting guests with craveable twists on the classics and border-blurring dishes inspired by food from around the globe. Nada is integrated into the local community and focuses on delivering an approachable, casual Mexican experience in a beautiful space.

    This was our 3rd visit to Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse; the first at the Precinct and these last 2 in downtown Cincinnati. Each time we leave loving the experience even more than the last. Our visit this week to the downtown Cincinnati location to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday was by far our best experience yet. Our party of five also included my mother for her first Jeff Ruby’s experience. Aside from the amazing food the delivers with every bite and the incredible atmosphere, it will always be the people that will make or break the experience. We were blessed to have had Umit as our server. He displayed the professional and elegant demeanor you’d expect but also the comfortable charm and witty humor of someone you’d call a friend. We felt that not a beat was missed as he anticipated our every need while leaving us with smiles and laughter throughout the entire evening.
