| - My friend and I went here for dinner during my visit to Cleveland because several friends of hers have recommended it. Sounds good.
However, from the minute we walked in, our waiter made us feel like an imposition. The service itself wasn't too bad until the end, but his attitude made me feel like I was an over-staying guest who smelled bad. I never, ever want to come back or recommend it to anyone else.
The food itself was excellent. No complaints there. It's a little pricey for what you get, but it's kind of a tourist-y area, so it's almost expected to be more expensive than it should be.
Now here comes the truly bad part. When it came time to get our check, the waiter refused to split the check by person - he would only split a single check on two cards. It made it a bit of a hassle for me and my friend, but we were able to work it out. When he finally brought the (single) check, the waiter had made a mistake on an entree price. (It's all handwritten, not using a point-of-sale system.) He had overcharged by about 30%. I mentioned it to him and he got really defensive. He stormed off to write us a new bill. It totally freaked my friend out because she's non-confrontational and I have to admit that I was very put off by the whole thing.
He finally re-wrote the check and brought it to our table. He paid lip service to an apology, but he made no effort to actually sound or act sorry. No other reviews have mentioned being over-charged, so I'm hoping it's a simple mistake. But be sure to double check your bill.
Overall, a terrible experience for some actually pretty good food.
Advice? Sit at the bar. The bar guys seemed like really cool guys and super friendly while this waiter was definitely not. I have no idea why he's in the service industry because service is not his forte.
Final verdict: two stars only because the food was good. Otherwise, one star. Period.
