  • A cheese plate and a couple drinks in an empty restaurant. My husband and I spent a wonderful afternoon picking berries and visiting farmers markets in Geauga county. We passed this place on Chagrin as we were looking for somewhere to grab a bite before heading back home. I had seen it on a few lists of hot new places to go so we stopped in. We walked in and the hostess takes one look at us and asks if we have a reservation, no we did not but the restaurant was EMPTY at 630 on a Saturday night. . . I do not think they had anything to worry about. Though they acted like we had just killed their puppy with the dirty looks and rude manner. We were seated at a high top table by the bar. We decided to order a few appetizers and then split a pizza. For appetizers we selected chorizo stuffed dates (not exactly Italian but I'm willing to forgive) and a cheese plate. We ordered a couple of cocktails I got the Campari and soda and my husband had the Italian lemonade. I would love to say our middle aged male server made up for the rude hostesses but sadly he was just as snobbish and brattish as a 16 year old girl. The server went as far as to refuse to take our entree order then saying he would after we finished our apps. The cocktails come and the only thing to say about either is BITTER. OK so I know Campari is a bitter, but I'm a fan of the aperitif when it is used properly. This was paired with an orange fennel soda that was bitter on it's own. Not the sweet citrus you need to counteract the bitterness to palatability. My husband's Italian lemonade made with a homemade lemonade soda and waterford bourbon barrel aged gin was also bitter. I'm not sure how being familiar with lemonade and the bourbon barrel aged gin on their own that in combination they become bitter unless the lemonade was bitter. Either way not a good combination. Then it becomes a waiting game we wait. . . and wait. . . and wait and 20 minutes later. . . Our appetizers came out!!! FINALLY. The chorizo stuffed dates were flawed. The dates were stuffed with the least spicy chorizo I have ever tasted. They were supposed to be pancetta wrapped according to the menu however ours were wrapped in plain old hickory bacon. Not a big deal I like bacon when properly executed but this was chewy. On to the sauce it was out of place. It was apparently roasted red pepper but it tasted like watered down Prego or Ragu. There really wasn't much to say about the cheese plate. A bleu, a soft cow sheep hybrid and some ash aged cheddar. The portions were ok. What was a disgrace was the crostini. 3 paper thin slices of walnut cranberry bread burnt beyond all recognition. There was a pineapple chutney on the side which while there was nothing wrong with it did not match the flavors on the plate. We finish our appetizers and our plates are taken. And then we wait. . . and wait. . . and wait. . . and finally 15 minutes later someone finally asks us if we would like anything else, not would you like to order your entree now or can I suggest one of our wood fired pizzas. It was obvious they wanted their table back in the still mostly empty restaurant. I was already starting to feel nauseous and my husband also after slow rude service was not interested in staying. So we paid our check and left. We left a low tip but honestly the rude service deserved none. I remained nauseous and ill for the remainder of the evening. We will never go back. I do not need to overpay for bitter cocktails and rude service and mediocre food. There are no not to miss or hits and misses for this snooty establishment. Just avoid it like the plague.
