This monday, January 10th, is our 13th wedding anniversary!!! To celebrate the occassion, we got a sitter for the kids (thank you Mike and Kathy!) and headed to Jeff Ruby's Waterfront. The Waterfront, located on the Ohio River at the Pete Rose Pier, is considered one of the nicest restaurants in Cincinnati. I can honestly say that dinner was one of the best times we've ever had together....
The food was SOOOOO good!!!
This was our view of the city, although my camera couldn't really capture it. Our view was spectacular. To the left is Paul Brown Stadium, where the Bengals play. Near it is Great American Ballpark, where the Reds play. There are various buildings in the middle - Proctor and Gamble, PNC, Macy's, and the tallest one on the right which is light blue is the new Western & Southern building that is not quite completed. To the very right is the John A. Roebling bridge, which was designed by the same man who did the Brooklyn Bridge: it's an exact replica. I wish you all could have seen how beautiful the city looked in person!
After we had finished our dinner, they brought us this signature dessert that they make with one candle and two forks for us to share in celebration of our anniversary. The dessert was delicious: my favorite part was the gold cocoa powder that was sprinkled ontop of the brittle that made the dessert look metalic. Our dessert was on the house.
Jeff Ruby's Waterfront is in the theme of Southbeach, which was a lot of fun but highly ironic considering how icy cold the Ohio River was that night! There were giant palm trees outside, Miami-type lighting inside, and a Cuban band playing beach music in the piano bar. Even though our table was by the window on a bitter January evening, heaters at our feet made us feel like it was July in the tropics! We hated to leave and make the freezing walk to our car, but inevitably our evening had to end.
