I recently visited Mentor to go to the James A. Garfield National Historic Site. Upon arriving in Mentor we decided to get some food before touring Garfield's home. We drove down the street and found Noosa. We decided to try it since it was somewhere new.
Actually, I must confess that the only reason I wanted to go here was because it was a fine dining restaurant in an old Burger King. However, once you're inside you would never know. The restaurant is well decorated and has accents of wood. The tables have tablecloths. The space is dark, but accented with much ambient lighting. There is a fairly large bar area. The front has a large outdoor patio.
The menu was original and varied. I tried a wrap with chicken and brie. The wrap was good but the flavors were a little flat. It needed a little spice. I also had a bowl of tomato soup which was heavenly. The complimentary homemade bread was divine. My father got the crab melt (like a tuna melt but crab) and said that it was very good. They have homemade potato chips that accompany the sandwiches which are excellent as well.
We were here at a slow time. There was only one other table. Our server however was not very attentive he seemed to be distracted. We'd have to wait for water refills and such.
Overall, it was an excellent meal. I'd like to come back for dinner if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.
