| - We were in Cleveland this last weekend for a friend's wedding, and stopped in after a friend from LA recommended we do so. Very happy we did. We sat toward the back of the main dining room near the open air kitchen.
Apps: kale salad and albacore crudo. The kale salad was just okay; we didn't really enjoy the, on the heavy side, ranch-like dressing. The crudo was amazing. We could have ate a few more orders of that and called it a wrap. But thankfully, we ordered some other great dishes.
Entrees: pork chop - very generous portion, and very tasty. Served with a creamy corn polenta and a cranberry sauce.
Salmon - it was amazing. Cooked perfectly, and the flavor was phenomenal. A slightly crispy outside, and a medium rare inside.
Drinks: enjoyed a great martini. The Zinfandel from San Luis Obispo was very good. Typical spice/pepper you expect from a zin, but more fruit forward than I'm used to experiencing from this varietal, and that made for a nice combination.
The restaurant has a great layout/decor, and you can't help but be drawn to the beautiful bar.
Only drawback and probable reason for why I wanted to give four stars instead of 5 is that the waitress seemed unhappy to be serving us. Maybe due to us coming in for a 10:00pm reservation, she seemed rather short with us and uninterested in making us have a great experience. But alas, we still had a wonderful dinner and would highly recommend this restaurant.
