2 weeks agoMario was a phenomenal server. I want to come back to try out some of the cheese plates but I'm cutting my calories for the time. The Lamb Shank was bomb. Perfectly tender with a lovely turmeric sauce on the outside. I think the Potatoes were done confit style because they were crispy and delicious. I'll be back

4 months agoThere is a reason this is rates as the top Cleveland restaurant; I can't remember or think of a single issue/problem. Everything tasted wonderful, fresh, and unique. It was our waitresses birthday and she was a sweetheart! We had a table for 8 and they sat us on a busy saturday night within 25 minutes. The food is well priced for what you get, big portions meant for sharing. Average price per person was 40 bucks (We overindulged certainly) I recommend the scallops, octopus, and the Ribs

a month agoMy wife and I stopped for restaurant week, and tried the 3-course prix fixe special. It included a charcuterie, pasta in a wild boar & veal bolognese sauce followed by a custard & phyllo dough tart in cherry sauce. Every bite was delicious. It is a comfortable, upscale eatery and it did not disappoint.

4 months agoI had a lovely time here with a friend. We shared a cheese board and several different small plates. I am on a restricted diet but I found several vegetarian entrees and a delicious Greek chicken soup. There was even a non-alcoholic prosecco. The prices are reasonable for what you get. The vibe is quietly busy and elegantly casual they have a free managed parking lot behind the building, and there are plenty of spaces. The service is very friendly. One tip to the management: educate folks more on the cheeses they serve.
