CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A long-vacant building in Clifton has been renovated into a new restaurant as Magnificent Morsels Kitchen prepares for its soft opening in Cincinnati.
The restaurant, located on Jefferson Ave. in the former Corinthian restaurant space, is the latest venture from Magnificent Morsels, founded by local entrepreneur Crystal Marie Render. The space, previously in disrepair, has been restored and converted into a full-service dining destination.
“This has truly been a labor of love,” said Render, who purchased the building in April of 2024. “We poured our hearts, savings, and countless hours into restoring this historic space. To finally welcome guests inside is incredibly meaningful.”
The opening marks an expansion for the brand, which began as a commissary kitchen and has grown to serve corporations, community programs, and families across the region.
The menu will feature signature dishes, including Shrimp & Grits and Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, along with rotating offerings.
Soft opening hours will expand in phases. In February, the restaurant will operate Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. In March, hours will extend Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with further expansion planned based on demand.
