This place probably has the best view of downtown Cleveland and riverfront setting of any restaurant in Cleveland. If you visit Cleveland--which all of you should!--coming here for a beer and an appetizer is definitely something that you should do. Sitting outside on the river on a nice summer evening makes for a great way to enjoy a Cleveland night.
I have been here three times, and following the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) is the key to finding good cuisine at this restaurant. When myself or my guests ordered complicated, exotic food, it didn't turn out well. When we've ordered simple food, it was great. If you want seafood or something else fancy, go to Pier W or Sans Souci. Order a burger or something pretty standard here and you'll be great!
Also, the service leaves much to be desired. Don't expect a quick meal! But hey, with the nice view and ambiance, why would you want one?
All in all, Shooter's is a Cleveland landmark that is a must-visit!
