| - Duplicates menu of its parent, Beach Club Bistro in Euclid. Pizza, big salads, somewhat inventive entrees -- salmon in horseradish crust with scallops. Excellent wine selection.
Recently opened and suffering teething pains: Our booth lacked a floor -- coming soon, they said, so it was very uncomfortable. Bread didn't arrive until near the end of the meal -- and that meal took awhile to arrive. Waitress showed up after some time to ask if she could bring our appetizers after our dinner salads because the kitchen was running slow. We said OK. Five or 10 minutes later, she was back ... with our appetizers, not salads.
Our favorite appetizer -- a mashed potato pizza -- lacked some of the fluffiness of the Euclid original. But one that was new to us -- artichokes stuffed with herbed cream cheese, lightly breaded with Panko crumbs and fried -- was delicious.
Mediterranean salad -- olives, sweet onions, capicolla -- tasty, too much to eat in one sitting. Caprese -- tomatoes, avocado and breaded, lightly fried fresh mozzarella -- suffered from tomatoes so unripe that they were almost crunchy, and a dressing that was all olive oil mildness, no vinegary tang.
