| - I was excited to take my girlfriend to what many consider to be the best restaurant in Cleveland. Unfortunately, they seemed to have an off night. While the wings were certainly worthy of all the praise, and the brussel sprouts were solid (a touch salty), everything else we ordered left us disappointed.
My girlfriend had the walleye, and she found it mediocre. It was pretty well cooked--the skin was crispy and the meat was light and soft, but it was quite bland. For almost $30 at such a highly regarded restaurant, we expected a wow factor. We also thought the serving size was a bit small.
I ordered the pork chop saltimbocca. Unfortunately, after a few bites, I had to return the dish. There was so much potential for this to be delicious! The pomme puree, scrapple and red eye gravy were perfect accompaniments to the pork, but EVERYTHING was too salty. It was as if they salted it once...and then forgot they had done so, and resalted it again. The waiter was kind enough to take the dish off of our bill, but it was disappointing given our expectations.
Nonetheless, I plan on coming again and am chalking this up to just an anomaly for now.
