| - The heart of Rock and Roll is in Cleveland. To be more specific, it's located at 1061 Old River Road.
We headed down to Crop Rocks for a Cleveland Beer Week event Lagunitas was throwing, a Frank Zappa Beer/Dinner pairing. It couldn't have been held at a better venue!
I don't know if I can really speak to the food since every course was a specialty item for the event not offered on the menu, but I can speak to the kitchen's ability. Our courses included deviled eggs, tobacco calamari, "Cleveland biscuits" and gravy (which were actually pierogies!), crab cake, white peppercorn & cocoa pastrami ruben, and a salted caramel apple dessert. I'm not a fan of pretty much any of these foods (pierogies excluded), but everything was still fantastic in spite of that!
I was really, really impressed with how well the waitstaff pulled everything off and how well orchestrated everything was - especially considering this is something outside of the restaurant's norm.
Even if the food wasn't good (which it was), even if the waitstaff were uncoordinated (which they weren't), I'd probably still give Crop Rocks a 4-star rating just based on how much I love the idea of having a live DJ spin vinyl while you dine.
