West Side
Cheviot Green Township, Price Hill, Westwood + Nearby
Cincinnati’s West Side represents one half of the city’s most enduring rivalry (vs. the East Side). Though it’s technically everything west of Vine Street, I-74 is a popular dividing line. Full of some of the city’s hidden gems, you can find down-to-earth communities that are equal parts mom-and-pop and big-box. And new businesses, nightlife and arts programs are popping up everywhere.

This West Side eatery opened its doors in 2020 and prides itself on specializing in “familiar food, elevated,” offering a fresh take on nostalgia-inducing dishes. The menu offers small plates like miso hummus and tomato bruschetta, as well as a handful of seafood dishes and steak options — with add-ons like lobster cream and baconwrapped scallops. Go big with a Japanese A5 Wagyu filet or strip for a couple hundred bucks. Ivory House also offers a pretty delicious brunch menu, with cinnamon rolls, steak and egg tacos and a fun choice of cassoulets, including a veggie hash with tempeh and a Cincy Hash with, of course, Cincinnati chili and cheese sauce. The restaurant is named after James N. Gamble, the inventor of Ivory soap who was also the mayor of Westwood before the West Side was annexed to the city of Cincinnati. 2998 Harrison Ave., Westwood, ivoryhousecincy.com.
