| - With my family on the far east side, I've grown to know that modern/fancy restaurants are hard to come by out that way. There may be a few here and there, but for the most part, they're all pretty laid-back, family spots. Lure Bistro is the exception, and a great one at that.
My first and only experience at LB was a great one this past winter. This means I unfortunately didn't get to experience the awesome patio that everyone raves about. But trust me, the snowy atmosphere didn't take away from the warm, tasteful dining experience inside.
The inside was a chic, modern feel warmed up by the attentive and friendly staff. Big smiles, and very talkative: my favorite kind of server. Each member of the staff looked genuinely happy to be there. Our server gave this indecisive gal a lot of suggestions and helped me pick out my very large meal. He even mentioned a particular wine that he'd thought my party would enjoy, we took his advice and agreed. Yum.
The food was great, not the best, but innovative with unique twists. It was also aesthetically pleasing. I mean, it needs to look delicious and this presentation was awesome. We absolutely loved the goat cheese appetizer and the crab salad. I think I'd probably stick to apps for future visits.
Overall, the service shined and the food was good. I'd definitely come back in the summer months to check out the patio. Would I drive out from Cleveland just to go there? Naw. But if I were in the area, I'd certainly drop by for a bite to eat on the east side.
