This was one of the best meals I've had in Cleveland this year.
Before giving a review it should be noted that the dining experience here for lunch is completely different than dinner. The menu changes dramatically for the two periods.
Dinner was a culinary masterpiece. Every item ordered was thoughtfully crafted and elegantly displayed. I ordered the duck squared. The dish was phenomenal. Crispy duck served two ways. It was drizzled with whipped strawberries and other fruits. The super sweet was perfectly balanced by salty napa cabbage served in a pastry.
The calamari appetizer was one of the best calamari dishes I've ever had. The flavor combinations were delicious with an emphasis on candied ginger.
We also ordered the chilled peach soup. This could have doubled as a dessert. It was a very sweet soup, perfect on a hot summer day. Instead of veggies, it was bursting with pureed fruits in a peachy cream broth.
All in all the food was amazing at prices $10-15 less than comparable entrees in restaurants in Tremont or on East 4th. You really get a great value for some incredibly thought out dishes.
