Le A Boeuf - Cincinnati

Food was good, service was slow. expensive relative to the overall experience

Best service! Best French meal in town! Hands down.

Last minute dinner out and were happy to get a reservation. Even got to sit on the patio which has a great view when the weather is nice. Food was excellent as always. Started with the oyster trio and french onion soup, then did the scallops special and chicken for entrees. All the food was excellent, especially paired with the Pinot Noir from Bordeaux and a sparkling rose. Service was a bit off this time, especially for what looked like a slow night. Almost felt like maybe we were being rushed out. Only had one glass of wine and was never asked about another, which saved us money, but it sat empty for most of my entree and through the bill. Maybe just an off night.

Special evening with special food and great service

I understand they have a new chef that doesn't want to prepare the wide assortment of cuisine every evening. Where one they not only had a full menu of many varieties of entrees appetizers, it has been reduced quite a bit and the chef removes items at will but doesn't change the offered menu on their website. More importantly, the restaurant no longer has multiple specials for the evening which once we're the signature dishes that Jean Robert put his love into. The lobster salad that was always the signature starter for most regulars is gone, even though the website still teases you as an offering. Their unique fish dishes as specials that once brought you back frequently is now only cod, which is the bottom of the fish chain in both taste and expense. I fear this once fantastic restaurant may be gone soon as the current chef isn't making it. The service is still excellent but they are understaffed. We gave 4 stars only in our memory of how this establishment was once under Jean Robert. They need to turn this around quickly and bring back all they were once noted for.
