| - Oh wow. Just wow. There probably aren't enough adjectives to describe adequately the food and atmosphere here.
The view -- at least of the bridges and Cuyahoga river can't be beat, even when it's dark outside. The restaurant itself has a minimalistic decor, with dark wood tables and floors, and an open ceiling with the ductwork as decoration.
The service is okay, bordering on great, there were only a couple of servers working the night we were here, and although the place wasn't packed, toward the end of the evening, the service slowed considerably.
One of the specials that night was a seafood pasta dish with a lobster tail. How perfect was that since I was really having a pasta and a seafood craving? Expecting only a few bites of seafood, I was completely unprepared for what I received. Every bite of pasta had seafood. And, with the lobster tail added, it was almost numbing. Unfortunately, as I'm not a local, I couldn't take the leftovers. What a waste. . .
Everything -- the calamari appetizer, the warm bread and the desserts - were done perfectly. Oh, and the cappucino? It came in a regular-size cup. Probably the biggest serving I've ever seen.
The wine list isn't a large one, but they have a nice variety and at all price points.
Next time, I think I'll skip the hotel food and save my appetite and calories for Luca's.
