| - I am so glad Cleveland has finally done something with the awesome water front property that was spent wasted ever since the flats' heyday ended many years ago. And what better place to go right on the water than an oyster bar.
My parents were in town visiting and they love oysters, so I thought what better way to show them the beautiful waterfront while enjoying some oysters. This place fills up quick so be sure to make reservations. We made reservations for a Thursday evening and glad we did because it was full.
We were immediately seated at what looked like the best seat, right next to the water. We got there just before sunset so the views were amazing right from our seats (see picture). We started off with some drinks, wine and beer. Service was quick and server was very friendly. For appetizers, we ordered the oysters, they had three different types that night, and the shrimp stuffed peppers (which we were told was Bruell's favorite). I personally do not eat oysters so can't say how they tasted, but can only go by everyone else's word and everyone who did eat them thought they were fantastic. The stuffed peppers were delicious, perfect amount of spice in every bite.
For dinners my mom and I ordered the tuna, which came slightly seared and sliced into pieces. It was perfectly cooked (or not cooked), each bite had that perfect velvety smooth texture that I love so much in tuna. I also ordered a side of hush puppies. The order was big enough to share with the table. The hush puppies were some of the best I have ever had and they came with a creamy sauce for extra flavor (don't remember what was in the sauce). My boyfriend ordered the pork steak. When the server brought out his plate, we thought he was bringing enough food for the table. The steak was huge, the size of someone's head, it also came with cream corn and fingerling potatoes. He really loved the dish, I thought the steak was a little tough, but I am not a big fan of steaks, so take his word. The serving was actually so big he took about half of it home and we snacked on it the next day. The cream corn and potatoes were fantastic. My dad ordered two appetizers, the mussels and the shrimp cocktail. I didn't try either, but he absolutely loved both of them, especially the mussels. He kept talking about them the next day saying how delicious they were and also couldn't believe how many mussels came in the dish.
And lastly, we ordered dessert, rice custard creme brulee, one for the table. I was not impressed with the dessert at all. I didn't like it, but I didn't realize it was pretty much just rice pudding (don't like rice pudding), it was cold and sweet. I guess I was just paying attention to the creme brulee part and had higher expectations. Everyone else in my party liked it just fine, but didn't think it was anything special.
This was a perfect place, on a perfect night for my parents last night in Cleveland. I got to show them what awesome locations and restaurants are in Cleveland and we all got to enjoy some wonderful food.
Can't wait to come back!
