Just Desserts

In a distant and more glamorous era, people used to say after a particularly delicious meal, “Say, let’s go somewhere else for dessert.”

Sometimes it was ice cream from Graeter’s on the stroll home or stopping at Grand Finale (RIP) before settling in for the night. Now you can add Council Oak Steaks & Seafood to your must-try sweets list.

From the classic – creme brulee! – to the sublime – you’ll find a decadent way to wrap up your evening.

Strawberry Crème Brulée

The caramelized crust has that satisfying crackle when you dig into the smooth custardy goodness underneath.

Lemon curd and an oat cookie crumble make this an extra special treat.

Fire Roasted Apple Crostata

Butterscotch sauce (poured at the table like you’re a VIP) and salted caramel ice cream elevate this wintry classic.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Buckeye Sundae

Consider this a grown-up banana split! Caramelized banana, chocolate-peanut butter cookies, and a “magic shell” sauce make this the most sophisticated sundae you’ll ever have.

Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

Calling this chocolate cake is like calling the Roebling a bridge. It’s accurate, but doesn’t begin to capture the grandeur and greatness. The delicate chocolate streusel and vanilla bean ice cream help it rise above other cakes.

Council Oak Steaks & Seafood at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, 1000 Broadway, is open Sunday, 4–9 p.m.; Monday–Thursday, 5–10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 5–11 p.m.
