The Aperture is the real deal, a first-rate addition to our city’s dining firmament. Not downtown or in Over-the-Rhine, The Aperture is located in the center of Walnut Hills in a refurbished building on the corner of Gilbert Avenue and McMillan Street. The Aperture enriches an up-and-coming neighborhood with a Mediterranean-inspired, palate-thrilling splash.
The place took years to come to fruition, slowed by the pandemic and the inevitable delays that can happen while renovating historic buildings. Chef-owner Jordan Anthony-Brown leased space in the Paramount Building — constructed in 1931 — way back in 2019. The intervening years were challenging for Anthony-Brown and his backers, but the time must have been well spent, judging by the excellent food and beverage service at The Aperture from day one.
