Can't really go wrong with Shinto. I love that it is a trendy, fun restaurant in a convenient location and you don't have to go to downtown Cleveland, find parking, etc. I have been here about 3 times in the past couple years and have never had a bad experience. The food is tasty and quality. I went this time with my parents while they were in town, and my husband. We came very late on a Saturday night (8:30 or so) and I did not make a reservation, which was my own fault. Ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table at the Hibachi stations, and when we got our table we were the only ones seated at it (which was nice), so I guess the night was winding down by that point. the bar area was hopping though!! Our chef was very nice and funny, and it was his birthday that day. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the drinks were good (I had a Long Island). The only complaint I have is that the music was way too loud in there. I could barely carry on a conversation with my parents, who are in their 50s. Bring the noise level down a little and it will be okay Shinto! You will still be cool and trendy as people are able to hear each other speak! :)
