| - We had a wonderful server who was knowledgeable about the menu and all the timing of food and drinks was perfect. The maitre d, since it was our first visit, gave us a tour of the pub area and house. I love old houses, so the atmosphere was particularly enjoyable for me. The food, while not especially creative or unique, was still perfectly prepared, generously portioned and delicious. We shared the calamari in sweet chili sauce which was very good. I wish it had been a bit crisper w less sauce though. We also ordered the crab Caesar salad, again delicious w lots of chunked crab meat. For entrees I had the Chilean sea bass which came with a crab cake, green beans and shitake mushrooms. The fish was cooked perfectly. ..loved the sear. My date had the strip steak with mashed potatoes which was also served with green beans and mushrooms. We visited on Valentine's day and they ran out of the chocolate covered strawberry dessert special so we skipped the sweets but there were plenty of good choices on the menu. I liked that they offerred half portions, most around $5, so if you had room, you could order a couple options to share. I also found overall, for the quality, the prices to be reasonable. The ONLY area for improvement is the awful elevator music that played in the dining area. At one point I started to faintly recognize 80s hits instrumental version only minus the lyrics. Overall, we're happy we ventured to the 'burbs from our Cleveland base this Valentine's Day. No downtown traffic or trekking in the snow! Free immediately outside restaurant parking and valet offerred.
