Salazar Restaurant • Chef Jose Salazar | OTR Restaurant & Bar

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 they’re doing. They are culinary artists. Their competency demands to be rewarded.

A friend familiar with Cincinnati suggested Salazar as a must stop and I'm so glad my husband and I did. We weren't too hungry after our walking tour just down the street and decided to split a few things for lunch. We were lucky enough to sit outside and had a terrific waitress. The food was incredible! It was the perfect amount and each bite was delectable. We were fighting one another of the last bits as we finished our meal. When we visit Cincinnati again, this would be my first choice for dinner because I'm sure it would be to die for after the lunch we had.

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 martini, and their house cocktail menu was interesting and well curated. All of their desserts were incredible! (They even gave us a complimentary cookie and polaroid photo since we were celebrating a couple birthdays!)
