Welcome to the Iron Horse Restaurant
Originally established in 1854, the Iron Horse Inn was most recently remodeled in 2008 by its current owner, Robin Thomas. Robin combines her love of local community with her passion for international travel by bringing the art, furnishings, and unique pieces she has found abroad and displaying them at her restaurant. The new décor, coupled with Chef Ernesto Luna’s New American cuisine, provides a contemporary twist to this historical venue. Come visit us and experience why the Iron Horse restaurant has been a Cincinnati icon for over a century!

The Facility
The Iron Horse offers a variety of rooms in different styles, providing the perfect setting for dining or for hosting your event. The downstairs features warm copper tones with intriguing artwork. The upstairs bar area, called Iron Horse Saloon, has stained glass windows, with an art deco theme. The new Iron Horse Lounge opened in the downstairs on November 29th, 2011. Easy Access Parking is available in the lot across the railroad tracks.
The Food
Although Executive Chef Ernesto Luna only recently donned his toque for The Iron Horse restaurant, he literally brings a world of experience to the village of Glendale. Italian by birth, Chef Ernesto’s career includes his professional training throughout Europe, culminating as one of the chefs at the famed Hotel Palace St. Moritz in Switzerland. From there, he has led the kitchens at Agua Restaurant on Grand Cayman Island, Buon Appetito in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Casanova Restaurant in Lexington, Ky, among others. For those wondering how he made it all the way from Varese, Italy to Cincinnati, Ohio, we are sure his lovely wife Ivory had everything to do with it. Check out Chef Ernesto’s menus to see what all the excitement is about!
