Best Historic Restaurants in Newtown, Cincinnati / Dayton

Great food and Amazing Service - David was very helpful with the menu and making sure we had a wonderful Anniversary Dinner!

Exemplar always continues to impress and their freshly shucked oysters are a can’t miss week in and week out. Service is always personal and attentive and the customer’s satisfaction feels like a true goal and not a box being checked

Wanted to give a shout out to our waiter Chandler…attentive service and great recommendations!

So, the actual dining room was closed due to lack of help, but we did sit at the bar and enjoyed one of the nicest dinners we’ve had in a very long time. The bartender who was the only one on duty went above and beyond to take great care of us. Her drinks were spectacular. She was talkative, but not intrusive and she was just really really nice. The food came out as we ordered it and it was extremely good. I feel very sorry for this place because at one time it was a beautiful, beautiful hotel and dining room but it has certainly lost some of its luster in the last few years due to pour upkeep. Not sure how much longer the restaurant will be in business, but our night was fantastic and we have no complaints. 

It is the best kept secret in Cincinnati! The food is always absolutely amazing and the Chefs special never disappoint!
