This place surprised me in the best way, and now I can't stop raving about it!
I had of course seen the tv spots done on food network, and figured it would be worth visiting the next time I was in Cleveland. I even endured a 45 minute wait for a table (something I don't generally do, I'm rather impatient). It was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time!
The atmosphere is relaxed and rather artsy, and the service was quick and accommodating. My only difficulty was trying to figure out what to order. I finally weighed my options and got the Godfather (freaking lasagna on a grilled cheese!) and the soup. Both were amazing!
Since my first visit, I waited a week and a half and made the two-hour drive for the sole purpose of visiting this restaurant. Second time around I got the Big Popper, and went to heaven in a melty cream cheese daze. And the roasted garlic tomato soup will definitely be getting ordered again!
Each time I was floored by how low the bill was, in a GOOD way. How could such tremendous food be so cheap, and there was enough there that I got two meals out of it each time!
I was not disappointed at all, and I'm currently in the process of converting as many Erie-ites as possible.
