| - What a great find - you wouldn't expect to find this kind of place tucked in a strip mall in Westlake, OH. But the food, service and ambiance were all 5 star. We were in with a group of 14 people and were treated to an amazing evening. Starting with the food: expertly prepared, served hot, and nice portions. We had the chicken risotto and blackened salmon. I'm generally a salmon snob, and this fish did not disappoint. Others at the table had the filet, short ribs and pizza. All I heard was "yum!" The service: our waitress Kim was wonderful. She handled our (somewhat demanding) table with great aplomb. Always with a smile and quick response. Now, the ambiance: this place is special. If you're looking for casual, chic and comfortable...this is it. We had our group in The Crate Room. The walls are decorated in old wine crates. So cool! And, oh yeah, the wine menu compares favorably with the best in the Cleveland area. Lastly, I've not been to many places where the owners make you feel more welcomed than at AJ's Urban Grill. If you run into Audrey, Jeff, Damon, Cindy or Scott...you'll be treated like family. Well, maybe better than family! ;) Enjoy!!!
