Colette 1400 Race St., Over-the-Rhine A new restaurant from chef Danny Combs, Colette is a French-ish restaurant that opened just steps away from Washington Park last November. The restaurant embodies Old World style, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that doesn’t lose that neighborhood feel. Salazar says the place has “some of the most talented pros in the city under one roof. Pretty much everything is going to be well executed.” On that well-executed menu, you’ll find French and French-inspired cuisine like Raviole du Dauphiné (served with Comté cheese, ricotta and brown butter) and Steak Frites (an 8-ounce Creekstone New York strip steak with peppercorn sauce and served with fries). To drink, guests can choose from an extensive list of sparkling, white and red wines, craft cocktails and beer. And for dessert, don’t miss out on the Mille-Feuille (caramelized puff pastry with crème diplomate). Photo: instagram.com/@colettecincy
