| - I have to say, I was not impressed with the Great Lakes Brewing Company, but at the same time, I'm not a knowledgeable beer drinker so bear with me. I visited with a group of friends and we had to wait about an hour and a half for a table at 3 PM on a Saturday. They don't take reservations, so we expected a short wait and happily visited Cleveland's West Side Market, which is only a short walk away. The service at the restaurant was good, and our waiter was polite and seemed to have a strong knowledge of the seasonal beers, but the food proved to be disappointing. We started off our meal with some beer and shared the Local and Fresh Plate, which was actually really tasty and contained different types of cured meats (my favorite) and cheeses. For my main course, I ordered the Pulled Pork Bahn Mi Sandwich and it was pretty unsatisfying. The sandwich was bland except for the overwhelming taste of creme fraiche with dill. Honestly, the sandwich reminded me of something I could get at my college dining hall. If I were to go again, I would order a heartier meal because it seems like they do pierogis and sausages right, but I doubt I will return.
