3.5 with a round up for ambiance. I've come here twice so far - once during their soft opening for dinner and then once for lunch a few weeks later. I love their focus on hospitality - they greet you with a "welcome to our home!" which is wonderful. We chatted with the host and they are from Bronzeville in Chicago! Welcome to Cleveland. :)
The decor is on point - very clean modern lines with interesting light fixtures. I definitely enjoyed the vibe.
Dinner was great - I got the chicken and waffles with a side of greens and fried gizzards. The fried gizzards were definitely plentiful - they give you a pretty shareable, huge plate. What was somewhat puzzling was how small the side of greens was in comparison. You get a pretty small helping for $4. For chicken, I definitely recommend the thigh. Both the chicken and waffle were crispy.
When I came for lunch, there was a difference in consistency. I got chicken and waffles, this time chicken breast. The breast was really dry and the breading wasn't crispy. We also got some sweet potato sides and they didn't taste quite right. They were very gracious and brought us an extra side of mac and cheese to make up for it.
Overall, service was great. During the soft opening, our waiter was almost overeager, checking in with us 1-2 more times than necessary. That didn't bother us too much, and I also appreciated how they brought over an extra side when my friend wasn't happy with her dish. I'd like them to be successful here in Cleveland on Prospect - hopefully they can work out their consistency issues.
