I was really excited to see this place when it first opened. The University Circle area has been drawing a lot of established names from the Cleveland culinary scene (Crop Kitchen, Corner Alley, Happy Dog, Mitchell's, ABC Tavern). Those other establishments have been living up to the reputation of their older siblings and I was expecting Ninja City to deliver the same level of quality and tasty-ness as Bac, in a more social atmosphere. Unfortunately, I was let down. The food didn't deliver on flavor or quality. It's really too bad because there's obviously a lot of potential. I for one was ready to become a regular--until I tried the food. At least the beer selection was unexpectedly interesting; I guess I should have been expecting that given what a beer town Cleveland is! Also not sure how I feel about the music...Maybe tone it down just a little bit in terms of both aggressiveness and volume. The atmosphere wouldn't suffer any and the patrons would probably be happier.
