| - I met a client for dinner here during my last trip to Cleveland because he said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "My wife and I have been trying to get in here for dinner for six months and they've never had less than an hour-and-a-half wait." Whoa! Ok, sounds like its probably a pretty good place, and if he's willing, I'm able.
We had a reservation for 6:30pm on a Wednesday and were seated right away. The place was maybe 1/3 full. It seemed like a very "hip" place with a nice big bar area and several small-to-medium sized dining areas. This created kind of an intimate feel, which was a little odd for a quasi-social business dinner but there we were, at a nice table for two. Ha!
I had fish tacos and my companion had steak. We both finished our plates - very tasty food. We had beers, too. They have Hop Devil IPA on tap, one of my favorites. Thumbs way up for that! There was an extensive wine list, too, but I didn't look at it too closely.
We chatted with our waiter about the persistent wait and the volume of business they do, and he confirmed that it's been crazy since they opened about six months ago. Fridays and Saturdays typically have a three hour wait. 3 hours! I got the feeling there aren't many places like this in the Strongsville area. Our waiter recommended calling as soon as they open in the morning at least a day before you want to come for dinner.
I didn't see the check but I'd ballpark our bill at $45. Not too shabby. If someone else is picking up the tab, and has a reservation, I'll be back.
