| - I don't often give out 5 stars on a first visit, but dang! This place really impressed me! Here are the details: I met up with a friend for Saturday morning brunch. They have valet but I just parked on a side street and walked over. Inside decor has this romantic industrial vibe to it, and there is a big window where you can watch what is happening inside the glass blowing workshop next door. (Someone told me that M Italian is a sister restaurant with Burntwood Tavern and the glass shop made all of the glass decor for the restaurants).
Since we arrived shortly after 11am the place wasn't busy yet and we were seated right away. They have a lovely inside or there is a patio area outside with a bar dividing the two spaces. My only complaint is that it was a hot humid rainy day and they still had the windows/doors open that separate the inside from the outside. This made for a muggy feeling experience. Ordering a frozen peach bellini $9 did help though! It was served in a large glass and was enjoyable.
For food we both decided to get the eggs benedict $14. These aren't your average brunch dishes though! You get two garlic toasts topped with a zucchini and potato hash, two poached eggs, sauce, but you get to choose your meat! I went with a fresh crab cake and my friend chose the salmon filet. You also get a side of mixed fruit. Incredibly tasty meal and it will definitely fill you up! Oh and let's not forget the amazing round loaf of bread they give you as soon as you sit down! Deliciously thick soft warm bread with olive oil to dip it in.
Our server was pleasant and did her job very well, I think her name was Makenzie? At least that is what the receipt says. My friend and I had a very enjoyable brunch here and I would definitely go back!
Actually, since it's a solid 45 minute drive from where I live I decided to grab dinner to-go (don't judge me, I was already there and decided to take advantage). I went with a caesar salad $6 which came with anchovies. I was going to be brave and try them, but they went in the trash, just not for me. Now the pork tenderloin $14 was excellent! The pork was cooked perfectly and it came with this white bean, asparagus, and red pepper ragout. Mmm so good! They also threw in their tasty bread. I'd like to mention that I ate my dinner the next day so it stood up to being refrigerated and reheated!
We walked around the cute little Chagrin Falls area afterward. It was an all around good time and I would highly recommend you give them a try! Just a tip, the food tastes great, portion sizes are filling, service pleasant, and atmosphere great for a date, but go during brunch/lunch because the prices are lower so saving money on top of everything else is just going to make you love this place even more.
