| - This restaurant has easily become my go-to place in Cleveland Heights to go to chill out. I enjoy going there to order a bottle of wine (occasionally preceded by a cocktail) and order some flavorful items from the menu. They always have a selection of soups that change frequently. They are all freshly made and hearty. Their salad selection is very good. They are light, flavorful, and made with seasonal ingredients. They have a selection of bruschetta, that really is unique. You order a selection of four. Each is cut into four pieces. One board is enough for two people. If you go early, this plus a salad or soup makes a meal. The selection changes and is seasonal. There are vegetarian, vegan options. Entrees are not on the menu, and are decided upon each day around 5 PM and presented as specials. There are usually a seafood, beef or pork and chicken or duck option. All we have tried are flavorful and presented well. For dessert, their selections are very good. Add the background music, and we are reminded of cafe's we have visited in Paris.
They do not take reservations, and parking can be a challenge. There is a lot around the corner on South Taylor that can be used, as well as street parking. Coming early helps, and weekdays are usually a little less busy. They have added live jazz music on Tuesday nights, but I have not yet tried it. We have had friendly service, and appreciate that freshly made entrees take time to present. It is a local gem.
