We lived in Cleveland for five years and know that the area has a lot offer diners. However, despite the plentiful options we always seemed to end up in L'Albatros from the occasional date night dinner. Hidden in University Circle with easy access and parking, the decor is sophisticated and romantic (aka - dark) with a nice ambiance. Most importantly, the food is delicious. We always start with the escargots (or as we call them " amazing garlic butter goodness"). My husband usually has the duck confit and I'm more the experimenter. The only thing I ate I didn't enjoy was the burger - too charred on the outside for my taste.
Pros - excellent food
- knowledge and friendly waitstaff
- quiet
- tasteful decor
- not kid friendly
Cons - a bit pricey
- the atmosphere can be a bit pretentious
- not kid friendly
If you haven't tried it, you should!
