| - I enjoyed my experience at 111 Bistro. I went over a year ago, but the experience still stands out in memory. Our party of four was treated exceptionally well. Then again, I'm a sucker for servers who are willing to engage in witty exchanges, which was most certainly the case. If you're engaging, receptive, and willing to put up with my personality, you're automatically going to get a good review from me.
The drinks were spectacular. I had a great Moscow Mule, which was chased by the best Sazerac that I've had in years. It was so good that I asked for a refill. (Yes, they charge for Sazerac refills. Please work on that, management.) The rest of the group was also very satisfied by their drink choices.
My wife got the pork chop, which was an absolute star. It was thick cut, juicy, and succulent. I was in a strange mood, and I ordered the duck. I'm opposed to eating duck because they're amazingly friendly animals and I dig their personalities. However, I saw the duck being delivered to a table on the way in and it looked way too good to pass up. Great choice. Cooked to perfection, and completely meaty and delicious. The demi and juices made me want to lick the plate. (I didn't.) I also tell myself that the duck I ate was a straight up jerk. It's a beautiful lie that I tell myself...
111 Bistro is marked for a revisit soon. It's not on the radar of many people, but it's a short trip from Cleveland and it's right off of I-71. Get away from the hustle and bustle without sacrificing good food.
