I've gone twice now and I enjoyed both of my experiences so I'm really not sure why they only have a three star overall rating. From what I heard they revamped their look/menu and a lot of regulars couldn't handle the change and it made them cranky. Oh well, more for me then!
Both times I visited it was in the afternoon on a weekend and I sat at the bar. First server was Anthony with perfect eyelashes and the other time my server was Jackie, both friendly and competent. They humored me with a little chatter and I never waited long for anything.
Food:
*Roasted Beets & Whipped Feta $9.50 - Good, but you only need a couple of bites. Share this small plate with others otherwise the taste is too much for one person.
*Crispy Fingerling Potatoes Brio $5 - Definitely crispy potatoes with a creamy parmesan sauce on top. Good.
*Spicy Shrimp & Eggplant $13 - Best thing I ate. So tasty and I would order again.
*Buffalo Cauliflower $11.50 - I thought this was good too. The cauliflower is not fried so you feel better about eating it. Just watch out because your mouth will feel some heat.
*Linguine Carbonara $14 - I'd say it's a good middle of the road carbonara. Not the best I've ever had but not close to the worst either.
*Peach Sangria, Spicy Mango Margarita both $9 - Standard drinks.
*Warm Chocolate Cake $8 - Got this as a special birthday surprise treat. Freaking delicious.
*Bread - They give you a chunk of bread with butter plus a couple of these seasoned bread crisps that were pretty good.
I know this place is a chain in Legacy Village, but I didn't mind making the drive from Rocky River because the area is a good place to park and walk around, the service was good, the food was good, and prices were reasonable. I'd come back again for a leisurely weekend lunch. I think people are catching on too because on both of my visits I saw a steady amount of business.
