| - Graffiti was my restaurant of choice for my birthday dinner. It met all the criteria: 1. I'd never been there. 2. Some of my friends (and fellow Yelpers) said nothing but good things about it 3. Reasonably priced & whimsical menu. Graffiti was an obvious choice.
We had a reservation for Friday night at 8 and the place was not as crowded as I expected. This spot (formally Red Stone) is famous for a beautiful patio, but it was a chilly fall Cleveland day- so no patio for us! Luckily, the upstairs is also beautiful and artistically decorated, it even had stain glass windows. They start you off with complimentary "popcorn du jour," which was a savory pumpkin spice that day. We also had the appetizer platter with chorizo potato skins, wings (with seasonal sauce), and the pork belly. Dear lord. Thank you for gracing my taste buds with those potato skins and tender pork belly. Wings were tasty but personally, wings in general don't blow my mind.
I had the Monte Cristo for dinner and this is one of the BEST dishes I've ever had. Graffiti deconstructed the classic sandwich with juicy pork, French toast, berry perseveres and some cheese sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate. To be honest, this dish was the deciding factor when I saw it on the menu before choosing to go to Graffiti. I was too full for dessert, but next time my sweet tooth is aching, I know where I will go!
Plus, our server was also amazing. She was more than willing to take pictures of our group and even tried to get the best lighting.
Thank you Graffiti for helping to make my birthday fantastic!
