I have gone to Deagans since it opened since my parents live right down the street. Their food is delicious and it has an amazing atmosphere where you really can feel the history of Lakewood especially since when they were renovating, they found an old painting hidden in the walls that they saved.
We have also held two parties there, one was for my nanas 90 birthday. They have a great private room and are really flexible in whatever you would like to be offered.
The only problem that I come across there is the fact that they rarely change up their menu. Now that I live on the east side of Cleveland I don't get there as much but even ever couple months when we do make it, it still has the same things on it usually.
They have great service and great chef. I highly recommend Deagans's for family, a friend get together, or a romantic date.
