| - This place gets high marks for every category: ambience, wait staff, diversified menu, drink selection, and finally food quality.
Little Cleo's indoor/outdoor patio faces The Yard, a genius oversized patio custom designed for a fun time. With everything from ping pong tables to corn hole, there's always a big crowd and Little Cleo's offers the perfect vantage point.
The wait staff was all very amiable, knowledgable, and adorably dressed. Our waitress, although I didn't catch her name, stood out with her red and blonde dyed hair and exceptional service. She was so friendly and every single suggestion she gave was fantastic.
The menu is unique, with so many options we'll have to go a few more times to cover it all. We started off with the sweet corn hush puppies--get them!! Had to send back the clam chowder upon discovering it had bacon in it (not stated on the menu). No other issues though, and everything else was delicious. We sampled a half dozen oysters that were fresh and distinctly flavorful. The warm king crab in a jar with butter and grilled bread was interesting. It tasted good but very rich. Good appetizer to share. The romanesco and broccolini salad was by far the most unique and enjoyable dish. I did however leave with a stomach ache, although I suspect this was due to the blending of various rich foods.
Get a drink from their "Royals" selection. All specialty cocktails with a sparkling wine base. I particularly loved the grapefruit and elderflower.
Made for a great date night. Will definitely be back in the near future!!
