First time guest here and I absolutely will be back. I sat at the bar and was taken care of by Isaac, Bri, and team to the highest of standards. I started with crispy sushi rice (salmon and tuna- couldn’t decide which was better), and had the Salmon Wellington for my entree along with the best green beans I’ve ever eaten. Dessert was a huge, fruity, delicious west coast oyster. They have a wide bourbon selection so I started with a Four Roses OF, onto a neat Rabbit Hole pour, and ended with a shot of Bailey’s and cream. Besides the incredible food, things that stood out: attention to detail in steps of service, absolute care and high standard in boxing food, strong menu recommendations in conjunction with getting to know the guest’s preferences, and honestly just kindness, attentiveness, and making myself and the rest of the bar feel so special. The only moment that was tough had nothing to do with staff or product – there was a bar patron who was shockingly rude to me on my way out. Staff was so kind to me afterwards and made it so much better, even though that had absolutely zero to do with them. Shawn was especially kind as I was leaving. Kudos to the team for being able to handle difficult personalities on the daily! Thanks for a wonderful night, and I can’t wait to go again.

Overall a really great experience. We typically do Jeff Ruby’s but tried MRBL and I wasn’t disappointed. Elegant and simple decor. Much less glitzy than Ruby’s but that’s honestly ok. Food quality was fantastic, atmosphere was excellent. The view is gorgeous and the live music provided a warm, cozy setting.
Service was good, not excellent but our host/table support Buck was 10/10 star of the show.
Crab cake was best I’ve had. Shrimp cocktail great, NKY roll was very fresh. I got the dry aged ribeye what was flavorful and tender. Gnocchi was the best side and Tres Leche was my favorite dessert.

You couldn’t ask for a better welcome. The greetings were exceptional by all the staff. We had a early seating and they put almost in the back of the restaurant that was not good for me. However per my friends the mock drinks were delightful and my house Pinot grigio was ok. My friend set this dinner up this dinner for her husband’s birthday and asked in advance for the table to be decorated. She was upset didn’t happen. (# the end they gave us birthday dsy desserts) . Back to the food. It was just ok, the blue crab spinach dip was more cheesy and minimal crab. The salmon was too rare due to the pastry crust and my friend tried to address her concerns and the server only indicated “I’ll let them know”. The birthday guest said his lobster wasn’t totally done again she gave same reply. I didn’t enjoy the Australian waygu steak it was a bit salty I brought entire meal home. This was not a great experience for me or my friends. No one tried to accommodate our concerns. Not worth the price either. But again the staff was friendly and maybe a cool place for drinks and music in the future.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We had two big events to celebrate and I am so thrilled we went to MRBL to do that!! Excellent food! Like the best hamachi crudo!! Melt in your mouth, I think I could have cut it with my butter knife steak!! My husband grills an amazing steak at home, so I am often disappointed if I order steak at a restaurant. NOT this time!! WOW! Delicious!! Even the salads were so savory and tasty. The evening was made even more tasty when they brought a terrific molten (I believe) chocolate desert as a celebration end to our meal. It was worth becoming “too full”!! Perfect! Sorry I did not take more pictures of the food! They all looked (and tasted) SO good, we ate them up before I realized! The volcano potatoes are rich with a delicious cheese, the perfect choice, and sour cream. The glazed carrots were tender and flavor full!
The evening was made even better by our excellent service from Lindsey and the staff that kept us eating and drinking. Polished deliveries of food and drinks combined with the fun and friendly Lindsey made for excellent service! Lindsey’s recommendations were great! And again, she has the professional yet personable service style that truly enhances your evening!
The restaurant is larger than I expected and though we were seated in the very last room, we still enjoyed a table positioned next to the windows and had a great view of the lit up city skyline. One nice aspect of being in the last room is it is nice and quiet, though the rest of the restaurant did not seem overly loud while walking through it. We loved that the live music from the bar was piped in to the rest of the restaurant as the musician was VERY talented! His song choice was perfect and his voice is excellent! I hope he will be there next time we visit!
Thank you to Shawn Gardner, General Manager, who wished us specifically a “birthday house sale congratulations” and was personable and gracious! We will definitely be back, Shawn! And we will be sure to come on an evening when we can enjoy Lindsey’s awesome service again! You can not go wrong! Make a reservation now!

Loved this dining experience. It’s our first time here and we went to the parking garage. The host happened to be there and told us that he could guide us to the entrance. That was our first clue that there was good customer service.
MRBL is a beautiful place and it was packed on our Saturday night visit. Reservations were the only way to get a seat, even in the bar area.
The servers were great, and even the gentleman who filled our water, uncle Buck, made our visit a delight.
Great drink selection. For appetizer, we had the Roebling Roll sushi that was outstanding. Nice balance of flavors with a bit of a crunch. Loved it.
We also had the Caesar salad and asked them to cut the anchovies and they obliged happily. And it was again, delicious.
The Filet was very good and the mashed potatoes and carrots were definitely on point and large portions. I can’t say it’s the best steak that I’ve had, but it was very good.
When the sun finally said, and they pulled up the automatic blinds, that was in itself an incredible moment. With beautiful views of the Cincinnati skyline. We also loved the live entertainment. It wasn’t too loud, and we were right next to him.
For dessert, we had the fried ice cream, which was recommended. It was good. The presentation was kind of interesting, as it almost looked like a burrito. It was tasty, not the best I’ve ever had, but very good.
One slight opportunity was with the bread service. The bread seemed very basic for a nice restaurant like this…we expected a bit more.
Overall, a very nice evening and we will certainly be back.

MRBL delivered an exceptional, luxury dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the host Buck was warm, gracious, and impeccably attentive, setting a refined and welcoming tone. The service was seamless, the ambiance elegant, and every dish was executed to perfection. From the steaks to the cocktails, everything exceeded expectations. Truly a top-tier establishment — I look forward to returning.

We went the day after valentines day. We were greeted by three different super kind people. We were shown to our table within a minute of arriving. We were greeted several times on the way to our table by employees. We got fast service. Our server was extremely sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. He even offered to take a picture of us. The food was spectacular. The restaurant was beautiful. I was nervous about the huge price tag on everything, but i feel that the service and quality made it worth it. Below is the Salmon en croute. Super tasty!

This was the first time I didn’t have a single complaint about the food at a high-end restaurant. Everything was amazing! The crab cake at MRBL was hands down the best I’ve ever had. 10/10 — highly recommend. Our server, Lindsay, was the sweetest and made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back!

Do I even need to say anything? It’s a top of the line steakhouse with insane atmosphere. The views of the Cincinnati skyline are breathtaking especially at sunset. Live music is just the right volume to enjoy conversation at your table.
If your having trouble deciding on a side the Loaded Mashed Potatoes are legitimately one of the best things I’ve ever had.

It was my first time there but not my last!!
It’s beautiful inside and the views are gorgeous. Our food and service were incredible. It was the best Crab Cake I have ever had. Our Anniversary free dessert and rose pedals on our table made it so special. One of the Best Restaurants in the Cincinnati area. This place is my new favorite.
