| - Wow, I really didn't expect to find a place like this in North Olmsted of all places, but I saw the positive reviews on Yelp so I wanted to check it out. A big plus is that it is pretty much right next door to my church, Sovereign Grace Church in North Olmsted, so now we have a place where we can visit that is not a chain restaurant after church.
So the first thing you notice is how elegant this place looks. Definitely has a high class feel to it, like you're entering some fancy Vegas private lounge or something like that. A little out of place in North Olmsted, but I really enjoyed it. Don't miss the lovely glass artwork that is hanging from the ceiling in the front entrance. The Wife and I sat in the area with dark colored booths, very private and intimate.
Our waitress was friendly and professional. Menus are on these interesting wooden boards which are a little unwieldy but certainly interesting to handle. We ordered the Surf and Turf ($13) and the chicken cheesecake ($7). To our surprise and delight, they gave us each complimentary pea and scallop soup. It was delicious and smooth, we loved it and would consider ordering it by itself.
We loved that the sweet potato fries were cut in thick chunks and really enjoyed the creative plating of the items. The garlic spinach that was served with the Surf and Turf was fantastic, cooked perfectly- I'm a little picky about that. There were three shrimp- wouldn't have minded if there were more because they were really delicious.
Chicken cheese cake was like a warm, crusty, chicken salad with cheese in it. Sounds strange but pretty tasty. It was plated gorgeously.
We had room for dessert so we got the creme brulee. What a fun dish- topped with gorgeous filigreed sugar wires with a side of berries and a drizzled sauce. It was almost a shame to eat it, but we joyfully did. Really snazzy presentation.
I really enjoyed Wild Mango- it is the kind of place that I would take out of town guests, especially at lunch time when the prices are very reasonable for what you get.
btw, their bathrooms are gorgeous. Worth taking a look at!
