Arrived at this place after exploring downtown by foot. The outside looked elegant and promising. Service from our waitress was good. Not the best, not the worst either. The hostess didn't make small talk and was on her phone when not tending patrons. Whatever happened to acting professional at work?
Anyways, onto the decor. It had nice ambiance. Had me fooled for a minute. I thought it was going to be more upscale. My husband ordered a burger that came with sweet potato fries served in a basket. I liked the presentation. I ordered the salmon, one of the pricier menu items. Let's just say I can prepare a better salmon at home. The belly was still attached to my salmon and so was the skin. A big no no in my book. Seasoning was fine. The risotto had a good amount of mushroom but the seasoning was bland- was in dire need of salt.
Didn't get to try any desserts. Felt too full after all that risotto and cornmeal bread appetizer which I forgot to mention. The cornmeal comes warm in a small cast iron skillet, accompanied with butter that melts right onto your bread.
Overall, not disappointed nor impressed either. Will keep checking out places around Cleveland.
