| - We had out-of-state guests visiting and wanted to take them somewhere special. After spending some time in downtown Chagrin Falls, checking out the falls, the Sunday Farmer's Market and a stop to the historic hardware store, we headed to the Burntwood Tavern for brunch.
The ambiance gives you a very homey, welcoming feeling from the couches and arm chairs in the lobby to the wood that dominates the floors and walls, much of it repurposed barnwood beams and planking.
I've visited this location a number of times but had not been there for brunch yet. Although everyone else at the table ordered from the regular menu, I ordered the Smoked Shaved Prime Rib Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce and Hash Browns ($11) from the brunch menu. It was very good. The eggs were done just right - and I'm picky about the way I like mine (soft on the inside, but not too runny) and the hash browns were nice and golden brown.
Other items ordered by my friends were the Tavern Ruben (on thin rye, almost like a flat bread $10), Veggie Burger (black bean $9), and a couple got the Certified Angus Burger ($10). All of the sandwiches come with fries served in a cut-off brown paper bag. There weren't any leftovers, so it's safe to say everyone enjoyed their meals too.
The service was OK - I've had better service on my other visits. It wasn't poor enough to not return. I surely will return as this is one of my favorite restaurants.
