Alara

Modern fine dining in Cincinnati’s Madisonville neighborhood featuring prime steaks, sustainably sourced seafood, and hand-crafted cocktails. VIP-level hospitality in a lively, elegant setting.

Alara brings a polished, modern take on fine dining to Cincinnati’s Madison Square in Madisonville.

The seasonal menu leans on contemporary American cuisine — think prime cuts and sustainably sourced seafood rooted in classic steakhouse tradition, but elevated with globally inspired flavors and careful presentation.

The bar program matches the ambition of the kitchen, with an extensive wine list that balances celebrated vineyards and under-the-radar picks, plus cocktails built to complement the food.

The vibe threads the needle between lively and elegant — this isn’t stuffy fine dining, but the service runs at a VIP standard. Great for date nights, celebrations, and business dinners.

They also run happy hour specials Tue–Fri from 4–6pm in the bar area, and host special events like wine pairing dinners. Part of the Looking Glass Hospitality family.
