| - I can't get over how amazing this place is time after time coming here. I don't think I could ever be disappointed with this establishment. Every time I go here, the atmosphere is intimate and classy. Who would think this gem is under an apartment/complex building and often has a groupon running!! We started off with the bread, which we asked for refills, and a sweet olive oil and balsamic sauce. Even the the bread wasn't hot, it was fresh. I think the waiter was kind of shocked we asked for that much bread but I mean we only got 2-3 pieces at a time. We love our bread so we definitely wanted more. For our appetizer we had the clay pot baked shrimp, with a fresh corn polenta cake , tomato-wine and garlic sauce, toast, rouille. IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!! The spices, the shrimp, the melt in your mouth corn made this dish one of the best appetizers I have ever tried. For our main courses, we have always ordered the special.
Each dish we have ever had has not been a disappointment but my favorite was the Steak in Bone and lamb chops. Each of which was seared to perfection and melts in your mouth. We have also had the veal and that was good but not my favorite. I like my meat a bit rarer and they usually have to cook that a bit more. You just can't go wrong with the specials. The ingredients are fresh and the presentation is spot on. The cook does wonders with his foods and the portions are generous and worth it. I think the only thing we weren't dying over was the dessert, but by that time who has any stomach left. We've tried the chocolate lava cake and and caramel brownie which were good but nothing spectacular. Overall though, one of my favorite spots in all of Cleveland to use a groupon and enjoy a well worth it meal.
