| - soooo after purchasing a groupon for this lovely little establishment, we decided to venture out into the snow, wind and ice for a 'relaxing' dinner.....
we had never been here before so this was a brand new experience.....after driving through the streets of cleve town to finally make it here, we ended at our destination..... it's not located in the most desirable part of town, however, as long as your packing heat, you're sure to be good to go....(lol. kidding. sort of.)...it's located near the far north end of w.76th, so if you are driving thru the neighborhood looking like you are not in the right vicinity, you probably are right where you need to be.....
looking at the outside, it appears to be sort of a derelict looking hang-out, that you might just belly up to the bar with a homeless person, but keeping that in mind, that we DID just buy a groupon, we decided to venture in.
what appears to be the front door, under the large sign that says "REDDSTONE" is actually not. fake out.....after peeping into the window and tugging the door handle, we found ourselves staring in at two patrons eating their dinner. yikes.
the REAL door is actually on the side of the place. upon entering, there are stairs going up....and the actual bar/restaurant is to your right....but when you walk in, there was no direction....do we seat ourselves, do we just stand here, what next? i should mention is WAS WAY CROWDED. so yes, we looked like two little wolf cubs scared of what we were supposed to do amongst all these people.
lucky for us, the manager, or whom, i seem to think is the manager, asked if we needed a table and asked if we could sit at the bar for a moment while he cleared a spot. the bartender then contradicted what he just told us 2.7 seconds earlier, that there were no tables available, as she had a 10 top table coming in and the manager (or manager looking guy) was not aware.....uh, ok. now what?????
so our choice....eat dinner at the bar or leave.....BUT lo and behold manager looking guy told us he found a table. lucky us! (we were not completely opposed to eating at bar.....)
anyway, long story short end. the groupon was for a limited item listing. it was for app, 2 house salads and a pizza, (with your choice of only either make your own 2 topping or the cleveland something....the chicken pizza was not available for the groupon, even though it was the same price as the cleveland one.....interesting.
the appetizer we chose were the nachos....one word. HUGE ASS. ok, two words. taste was meh....(would not order again).....the house salads.....aHHHHHHMMMAAAAZZING. the dressing was delish. would def get again....pizza.....uh, negative. save your pizza meal for an authentic pizza place.
service: one word: HORRIBLE. very friendly servers, but took forever to give order, get bill, pay bill, etc. etc. etc. the one girl did apologize that there were only two servers and they did not expect to be this busy.....um, ok. let's think about this. you offer a groupon/cheap dining deal, yet you staff with only two peeps? what up with that???
anyway, we finally paid our bill and were on our way, back out in the ice/snow/slush.....
p.s. i was told by a friend that the patio is pretty cool, so we might be brave to venture one more time during dining al fresco season........maybe.
overall....food meh. i was not impressed by any means. the blueberry basal lemonade drink was delish....and could easily see myself cozied up on the patio chilling with one of these in hand.... xo
