| - Confession: I've lived most of my life about two miles from this place and my first time here was on Sunday. Oops! But it was well worth the wait. I came with two friends for lunch and I was trying to find a place that would show them how beautiful Brecksville is, so I settled on Creekside. There was no wait for seating on the patio, so we were able to overlook the Chippewa Creek as we ate, which was lovely. It was a bit chilly, especially when the breeze was blowing, but I was so glad we were able to be outside.
The coffee was pretty meh, but they kept my mug full, so it's an acceptable trade-off. I had the Tuscan Pie and I highly recommend it, particularly for a lunch. If you get the medium, you can probably split it between two people, to be honest. I was a bit nervous about the balsamic glaze--some people can really kill a pizza using it--but this was spot on. Not to overpowering, but tangy enough to cut the richness of the artichokes and cheese.
If I went back for brunch/breakfast, I'd probably try the B.L.E.C.T. (or maybe it's BELCT?). Egg, bacon, arugula, cheese, and a few other delicious toppings on ciabatta bread. One of my friends had it and she cleaned her plate!
I think the Courtyard might still be one of my favorite (far-too-long under-appreciated by me) Brecksville restaurants, but this is definitely a lovely place for brunch.
