My husband and I recently enjoyed the “Vintage 51 Dining Experience”  at Jack Binion’s Steak for the 1st time.

The Cincinnati location is located inside Horseshoe Casino.

The restaurant offers a nice atmosphere and I was immediately drawn to the music coming from the bar area.

The band playing on Thursday night was incredible. I was told by the waitstaff that they play there pretty regularly too.

The “Vintage 51 Dining Experience ” is 3 course meal that also includes a glass of  wine.

My husband and I both ordered the JBS Wedge Salad which we both LOVED!

(Chopped Baby Iceberg, Heirloom Tomato, Crisp Benton Farm Bacon,Compressed Onion, Tossed in House Bleu Cheese)

We each ordered the 6 oz Center Cut Filet that was served with Creamy House Made Fingerling Salad. The Filet was prepared to perfection and seasoned with great flavor.

We also got to sample a menu item that was not part of our 3 course meal that night.   The Dauphine Potato is a whipped sweat potato that is deep fried and sprinkled with sugar.

The steak was amazing but I have a sweet tooth and I would order this item again by itself it that good!  I also would have a hard time sharing this order again so  I would probably need two.

The meal is served with a glass of Jack Binion’s own Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Vintage 51
(regular price $18 glass/$72 bottle)

For the third course, we each chose a different dessert. My husband ordered the White Chocolate Wrapped Cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious fusion of white chocolate and cheesecake.

I ordered the “BERRIES” (Brown Butter, Balsamic, Berries, Basil) The Berries dish exceeded our expectations. It was light and extremely flavorful!

The manager also brought out the Chocolate dessert that made picking a favorite even harder! The chocolate was broken down into a variety chocolate flavors and textures.

We really enjoyed our meal which was a great date night paired with great food and atmosphere.

 

The Vintage 51 Dining Experience is $51 per person plus tax & gratuity. It was an incredible meal that also offered a great value by including the glass of wine in the 3 course meal.

 

Jack Binion’s in Cincinnati is located at  1000 Broadway St, Cincinnati, OH  inside the Horseshoe Casino which offers free parking.

 

You can learn more about Jack Binion’s Steak from their website.

This was my first time visiting Horseshoe Casino. During a visit, guests can choose outdoor seating with a view or indoor dining.

Inside dining gives you a fun atmosphere with bright colors, palm trees and laid back music.

Guest can enter through the casino or if you have guests under 21 there is an outside entrance as well. We started off by trying the margaritas. There is something for everyone on the drink menu.
