First time to the restaurant and the Brecksville location. The upgrades & renovations are very impressive. I had dined at the previous restaurant shortly before they closed. I was pleasantly shocked at the appearance and vibe of the place (great score with the new covered patio).
A coworker and I decided to grab lunch there on a whim. Despite a very full parking lot at 12:20, we were seated immediately in the bar. The menu is interesting and took some time to nail down a decision. I opted for the lunch combine of a wedge salad and half a chicken Philly. My buddy got the same combo with a Cuban sandwich.
Flavor, temp and presentation were spot on. Honestly, I can't wait to go back for the chicken Philly. REALLY good! Portions were pretty disappointing. 10 bucks for 1/8th of a head of iceberg and a half sandwich that was maybe 4 bites was a downer.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal but left hungry....joking about the "girl" portions offered. Service was odd but acceptable (clearly lacking in experienced servers). Lunch for 2, before tip, with 2 sodas was 26 bucks. Lockkeepers or Delmonico's I'd expect those prices for lunch.
I'll give it another shot as the food was so good and chalk this up to a poor menu choice on my part.
