I bought a gift certificate through the Cleveland Independents website for Table 45, so we decided to use it one Sat night. Our waiter seemed to take himself pretty seriously but maybe that's the ambiance they're going for there. I've liked the service at L'albatros, Chinato, and Cowell & Hubbard much more. Also preferred the food there.
I had the duck, which was just okay. Normally when I hear "duck" and "curry" in the same dish I prepare myself for something truly amazing. Sadly the curry dish with duck confit from the Umami Moto foodtruck is vastly superior to the curry duck dish they serve here. Or maybe not so sadly, since Umami Moto's is about 1/4 of the price.
I also had some chocolate penuche cake for dessert. Normally I don't order dessert but I anticipated that it would be really amazing since this is a Zack Bruell restaurant, but I should've known better from my disappointing entree. The cake was dry and flavorless. Probably not made in house and if it was, it's kind of embarrassing for them.
I wouldn't pick this place for dinner again but their happy hour is pretty good, which is why this gets a 3 star rating.
