| - I'm torn on this place. I drove from Akron to Cleveland (in search of a dog friendly restaurant I could eat lunch at before heading on to Indiana) specifically to eat here. I looked up the reviews online before heading out and checked out the menu and everything seemed good. I called ahead to double check their pet policy and dogs are welcome on the patio. Maybe it was just me (being an out of towner) but I didn't feel this restaurant was in a particularly nice neighborhood, but it wasn't bad enough to make me forego stopping. I ordered a half order of mac and cheese (which I love) and was pleasantly surprised that it came with a side salad as well. You order and pay before sitting down (like a cafe) and my food came pretty quickly (minus the water I had asked for for my dog, which I had to ask for a second time, but was then promptly brought out). My chopped salad was really good, but the sad part is my mac n cheese was not. It was SO bland. It honestly tasted like nothing, which was really surprising and disappointing. I added a good amount of salt to it, which helped initially, but only for a few bites. I ultimately decided it wasn't worth all the calories. I ended up scraping all the melted cheese off the top and eating it with the slice of bread it came with. Overall, I give this place 3 stars. The staff was very friendly and accomodating, the salad was excellent, but the mac n cheese was very disappointing. I will point out that I did not send it back or say anything to them about it, which was my choice, so they may have offered to fix this had I spoken up. If I lived in Cleveland I would probably go here one more time and try something else.
