| - The first thing you need to know is that this gem of a place is seriously not near anything else. I mean you're going to be thinking 'Ghetto', 'This can't be right' and 'Man... what were they thinking?!'
But once you enter the place... none of that matter any more.
Simply put, they have abso-friggingly delicious food! Had a cheese fondue ($16) for an app... it was oh-so-good! Much better than the metling pot or any other place in the Cleveland area.
This was followed by a fresh homemade linguine and a curried butternut pasta. The linguine was divine! Absolutely light and delicious!
The curried butternut squash, however, was... um... interesting. It kind of was a mix of butternut squash, thai curry and alfredo sauce, all with some lemon. The first bite was alright, but it really grew on you - I ended up cleaning the plate out!
And then, finally, for dessert, a Chocolate Lava Cake. Now, I could probably write a book on what the perfect lava cake should be, but the summary of it is as follows:
Dark chocolate semi-molten interior (the lava) - needs to be decadent
Light fluffy cake surrounding it at a cooler temp (if it is made correct, the different densities will mean the inside remains hotter and the outside cools up quicker). This needs to not be soggy or uber dense, yet be rich.
Vanilla Icecream on top.
And by god, this place perfected it. And all this with great service to boot!
The only reason this place did not get a 5 star is I found the butternut pasta to be 'eh'.. But don't be fooled... I shall be re-visitng this place soon!
