| - Being from the East side, I don't often make my way out to the Broadview Heights area; however, after reading about this place courtesy of a Plain Dealer review by well known local restaurant critic Joe Crea, I was convinced that I had to try it! The interior of the restaurant presents a calm, dimly lit ambiance that highlights the classy setting of this gem. As I was alone, I took a seat at the bar and was promptly attended to by the alert female bartender whose name I can't recall. As the menu was replete with excellent choices that range from pasta to seafood and everything in between, I decided to go the distance. I ordered the minestrone, a mixed greens salad with pecans and strawberries, and the stuffed Salmon with a side of pasta marinara. The minestrone was a tomato based broth and was excellent! The salad was a half-portion with a house vinaigrette dressing that captured the savory blend of the greens, strawberries, and pecans. Bread is included with every entrée and it comes with a green olive drizzle on a small plate for dipping! When my entrée arrived it was expertly presented in a sizable portion with a small plate of pasta. The fish was cooked perfect with just the right amount of redness and the crab topping was simply decedent! As for the pasta, it was as good as it gets and could easily serve as a meal by itself in a slightly larger portion. In total, my bill came to $32.45, which was excellent considering the volume and quality of the food. If you haven't been to this place then make the drive and check it out, you will not be disappointed.
