20. Zula

1400 Race St., Over-the-Rhine
”Love love love Zula for a quiet relaxed dinner! Service is great and the waiters don't rush you. I came here on a Saturday night looking for a relaxing dinner. Zula is known for small plates that you can share with the table. I love trying several new dishes. The small dishes go great with a bottle of wine. All the small plates we had incorporated an array of flavors that came together so nicely! Definitely recommend trying Zula out for a date or with your girlfriends!” — Mariel D.

18. Boca

114 E. Sixth St., Downtown
”Although it was a small menu, we loved the food. The gnocchi was probably the best I had ever had. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was great for a date, nice and intimate. The building itself is very chic rustic, with original exposed wood and brick. Of course its downtown and parking is impossible, so I recommend the valet ($8).” — Sheena P.

17. Maplewood Kitchen and Bar

525 Race St., Downtown
”This is one of my favorite date spots in Cincinnati. Beautiful ambiance. The shoestring fries are delicious and the veggie burger is one of my favorite in town. The drinks are expensive and I don't love them, so normally I don't swing for those, but definitely a repeat customer for the food.” — Kylie H.

We took our waiter’s recommendation and got the dad’s portion of the tri-tip steak & it was incredible! Not to mention the cornbread (which isn't something I usually go for) was incredible! The building was beautiful with old architecture that OTR is known for!” — Courtney H.

9. Nada

1342 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine
”A place very unique to Cincinnati. Located in The heart of downtown. Plenty of street parking nearby it has a very good vibe, energy and atmosphere. Two floors that have tons of seating. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Their drinks are spot on and with a lot of flavor. It is a great place to go for a romantic evening and just for a casual friends and drinks and to even converse. The music is not loud so you can actually hear conversations and they do not rush you. I recommend anyone of their tacos and the guacamole is very smooth, my favorite are the salmon ones but I also recommends the fried avocado. ” — Slava A.

8. Bouquet Restaurant

519 Main St., Covington
”I genuinely loved Bouquet! The space is very cozy and ideal for a date night. It isn't very big, so get in your reservations before coming in. As we entered on a Saturday night, the place was almost full. We were promptly greeted and taken to our table. We were starving so I ordered a bunch of stuff. We got the lobster dip with crostini and deviled eggs for appetizers. And I was impressed. The lobster dip is one of the best I've had in Cincy.” — Aditi R.
