The Rookwood, Cincinnati

Mount Adams is a fabulous neighborhood in Cincinnati. It is set on a hill that looks over the Ohio river and it also happens to be home to one of my oldest and best friends from college. Miraculously our schedules worked out so we could get dinner when I was in town. The weather also cooperated and we were able to sit outside. While catching up we ordered the bacon wrapped dates and a couple glasses of wine. Pretty good selection of wine by the glass, which were were thankful for. I wish it could have been a bottle sort of night but sadly it was only a Wednesday. While responsibilities held me back in one department they did not hold me back when I choose to order the pork shank. I would come back for this pork shank. It feel off the bone and braising it in apple cider was a fabulous decision. My only hesitation would be the service as it was not the best nor fastest but luckily neither of us minded as we weren’t trying to rush.
