At this spot, you kind of expect Jimmy Olsen to walk in, accompanied by Lois Lane. Lots of reporters and courthouse types hang out at Arnold's Bar and Grill. Originally built in 1861, it's the oldest "saloon" in the city. This historic eatery serves Italian-American fare at great prices. Live music several nights a week. Casual attire.

MOUNT ADAMS. The name of this dining heaven couldn't be more appropriate. Located high atop Mount Adams, this spot affords the best view of Cincinnati. This is the place to go for those special times! A French menu serving New Continental cuisine with a few American spins. Restrained service, pristine linens and dark, paneled wood make for an overall formal experience. Specialties include Kobe beef steaks, sesame-orange crusted sea bass, and desserts such as chilled lime souffle. Reservations essential.

DOWNTOWN. An elegant, graceful atmosphere, invisible yet efficient service, and food that's simply breathtaking are hallmarks of this chic, popular establishment. Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel oversees painstakingly crafted prix fixe menus that feature dishes like lamb shank ravioli with turnip and watercress, sea scallops in lemongrass sauce, and roasted salmon with fondue of leeks and saffron. Call well in advance to reserve a seat at the highly coveted chef's table and feast on a custom-created tasting menu. An in-house sommelier provides spot-on pairing suggestions.

EVENDALE. Charming and cottage-y, this quaintly appointed restaurant rises above its strip mall surroundings and offers romantic ambience and delicious takes on traditional French dishes. Dine à deux on grilled bison tenderloin in morel cream sauce, veal and duck pâté, and vichyssoise. Two dining areas provide a choice between a casual, relaxed experience and a more formal meal; both rooms have working fireplaces to ward off even the hint of an evening chill. Whether you're wooing a date or a wowing a business partner, La Petite France is an appealing choice.

DOWNTOWN. An artsy, modern setting showcases elements like exposed brickwork and vaulted ceilings, tying everything together with 6-foot wide clock faces. Attentive service and tasty northern Italian eats make time fly at Nicola's; sample the antipasto eggplant flan for a savory starter, and then indulge in hearty veal-stuffed cannelloni topped with Alfredo and Bolognese sauces. Desserts are appropriately decadent, and a 1,200+-bottle wine list is more than adequate for choosy oenophiles. Reservations are suggested – theater crowds often fill the patio on warm evenings.

Order up a steaming dish of angel hair pasta with sautéed chicken breast and mushrooms, a creation which bears the moniker of Pollo ai Funghi. Accompany this or any of the other traditional Italian entrees with a bottle of wine from the outstanding list. To finish off with a flourish, order the creamy tiramisu. The location provides a stunning view of the Cincy skyline and the Ohio River. Business casual dress is the order of the day. Take out is available, and reservations are strongly recommended.

MOUNT ADAMS. Hidden away in Mount Adams is this exceptional sushi bar and Thai eatery, where hungry patrons chow down on pad Thai, Massaman chicken, mung bean noodle salad, California rolls and sashimi. Dishes are spiced on a scale of one to ten; be as adventurous as you dare. Take a seat at the sushi bar if you wish to dine exclusively on maki and nigiri; otherwise, combine pieces of sushi with your entree on the delightful patio. Locals claim the wait is worth it, and the restaurant has won several area dining awards in support of its popularity.
