It’s a fun day for news around here – three posts in one day!
The Summit Restaurant has opened at Cincinnati State. I think this is a really cool thing, which is why I’m sharing it. The press release pretty much says it all though, so I’m just pasting it in:
The Summit Restaurant at The Midwest Culinary Institute at
Cincinnati
State now serves dinner to
the public. Gourmet dishes are

direction of Executive Chef Matthew Winterrowd, formerly the Chef de Cuisine of

I went for a friend’s birthday a couple weeks ago. It was good – but not as good as the price. The service was good and I admire them for their ambitions.
The morels were amazing – the rest was fairly forgettable.
If they dropped their prices a bit – I’d go all the time. But at $10+ for apps and $25+ for entrees – that’s a bit high for the quality.
