Salazar, by Chef Jose Salazar, was the best experience and surprise we had on a 24h connection in Cincinnati.
I would say it's a special diamond in the city and a must go, if you have the opportunity.
A reservation is recommended. We didn't get a seat inside (our fault), so we had our dinner on the
Incredible food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. They made our birthday dinner something to remember and sent us home with a Polaroid photo!
Update: Had to have it one last time at the original location before they temporarily close to reopen in a new larger location. Harvest Moon cocktail is an aesthetical and delectable delight
Restaurant Week is building momentum with a visit to Salazar - the eponymous OTR restaurant by Chef Jose Sal
Beyond delicious! The brunch at Salazar was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The mimosa tasted super fresh and set a nice tone for the rest of the meal. My husband ordered the heirloom tomato grilled cheese and the crispy home fries, which were more like smashed potatoes which we love e
I moved from Cincinnati eight years ago and returned for a two day reminiscent trip. My first stop was Salazar, and it hasn't lost a beat. It was my favorite when it first opened, and Salazar was the best meal on this visit. Salazar charms without trying, the small restaurant proud to be a pionee
Delectable cocktails, scrumptious food and a great server made our visit to Salazar a truly fine dining experience. Their way of cooking Brussels sprouts is simply the best, oysters sandwich is a must try, and falafel was so tasty and moist that I had to watch out not to swallow my tongue. The three
My friends and I really enjoyed our meal here. We had a bar reservation and our server/bartender, Sarahi, was not only friendly and accommodating, but made stellar recommendations on food and beverage when asked.
The food was quite good, and the drinks were great. I really liked their cold brew mar
I loved my experience at Salazar Restaurant (3/30/23).
Great food, great service and wonderful ambience, overall a real treat!

- we started with the little fried oyster sandwich. Our server suggested we order one per guest which was a good recommendation. They are small (about two bites) but
One of my favorite recent meals in Cincinnati. Food was sooo good. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. Will definitely be back!
My meal at Salazar was fantastic. I appreciate how intentional they are with every dish, both big and small. I had the Brussels sprouts, fried pig ears, cajun duck leg, buttered mushrooms, and Nutella crepe. Oh, and an absolutely sublime rye / strawberry lemonade cocktail. These people know what the
My son wants to be a chef and is a BIG fan of Chef Salazar. For his 16th birthday, he picked this restaurant for his celebratory dinner. We had a party of four, and none of us had been here before. Parking at Washington Park was close and easier than expected.
We start with some 'Nibbles' including
Such an exemplary meal and experience at Salazar. Alex did a great job with the service! Presentation, flavors, and use of ingredients combine for a James Beard worthy evening. We enjoyed the Fish Collar...and don't even get me started on the bone marrow butter! I recommend the Bruce Banner cocktail
What an incredible meal. The fries were perfect, a variety of potato I didn’t even know existed. The duck leg dish was next level. The grits were the best I’ve ever had, the duck had a crispy skin and was rendered to perfection. Not to mention all at a very reasonable price. Ambiance is always on po
What a great first experience. From the food to the service, everything was phenomenal. Natalie gave us exceptional service and made our experience even more wonderful.
I came here to celebrate a friend's new job (sadly she's moving away to save lives in NYC). Firstly they were accommodating: gave her a mask as she forgot hers, and got us mimosas (yummy!) despite it being after brunch hours. Ambiance was good with safety precautions in mind.
Food: the bread (grille
The oyster and kimchi sandwich was great! The main dishes tasted a little too strong for us, but I still liked the Ohio wagyu steak. The cheese cake itself was good, but I didn’t think the toppings were needed. We liked the chocolate mousse. The staff were pleasant.
Delightful dinner. Beautiful presentation. Thoughtful selection of ingredients. Delicioso! And room for chocolate fry pie and tawny port for dessert. A perfect evening!
We strolled in on a Sunday for a late lunch. Food was solid and reasonably priced. Flavors were good and service was attentive and pleasant. Even with a drink each our bill was lower than expected. The only thing we wish was that there were fewer menu items that weren't sandwiches or bread-based.
Went to Salazar for dinner with a couple of friends. We had the brussel sprouts and shishito peppers. The peppers were excellent, spicy, but not mouth numbing spicy. The brussel sprouts were rather charred but still quite delicious. We also got the branzino and the Cajun duck leg. Both were very del
