One of the best (and my favorite) restaurants in CLE. It's hard to find an entire menu where everything is delicious, and L'Albatros just does it right. The ambiance, the cozy feel of being inside a "house" sets this apart from other restaurants in the area
But be honest, a restaurant of this caliber still has work to do with their serving staff... Once I came here for early dinner with my sister on a weekday night, the restaurant was almost empty, and I requested to sit in a corner table and the waitress made a huge stink about it. Then she took forever taking our orders, following up with us, etc. I felt she didn't know the order or timing of when to bring out food or refill drinks, etc. That was a little annoying.
I recommend: 1) going here for Valentine's day - I made reservations a month out. Their Vday menu is pretty amazing and reasonably priced ($75 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and dessert); you just have to be prepared for sitting pretty close to other couples as they tend to cram more people in a room 2) Dine at lunch! Menu prices are slightly cheaper and it's not as busy 3) If you're a burger connoiseur - TRY THE BURGER! I don't usually like a busy burger (swiss cheese and carmelized onions) and this one was TDF (to die for).
ENJOY!!
