| - I was very excited to see a new music venue open in CLE to compete w HOB. The Music Box has already booked great acts, so they are filling a void for blues, folk, alt country, etc in town.
Upon arriving, I had to pay $8 to self-park because there are no other options at this location. I ordered the ravioli for $19 and got 5 ravioli! No side salad, no veggie, just 5 ravioli. It should be moved to the appetizer menu and not with the entrees. The food was ok, but a very low value. Until the menu changes, I will not be eating here again. $9 for fries?! If it were not for the music, my main reason for going, I'd give 1 star. So onto the music. The show I attended was in the super club(? downstairs stage). It is a seated venue so no chance to stand up and get rowdy. Sound was great. Lighting was great. Beer selection was above average. $6 for Dortmunder draft is to be expected at a venue like this.
I am curious if the venue adds a few dollars to the cost of merch though. At the show I attended the album was $25 at the merch table but $20 on the artist's website. Hmmm.
3 stars is generous, but I'm optimistic they'll figure this food thing out and this place will become viable stop for national touring acts.
Come on Music Box! I'm rooting for you, but you gotta do better.
