Burntwood Tavern in Chagrin Falls might be one of the coziest restaurants I've ever experienced. When you enter the restaurant, you're greeted by a well-stocked bar in an environment that strikes me as upscale après-ski. They have an extensive and creative drink menu that I couldn't help but order from.
For my meal, I ended up being a bit traditional and had a chopped salad and steak and fries. The salad was very generous for $5 and the dressing was fantastic. The Tavern Steak and Fries was also had very generous portions and really hit the spot. I like my steak medium-well and I think they maybe tried to cook it too quickly, as it was a bit dry. However, the flavor definitely made up for it.
And speaking of generous portions, I had to pass on dessert. They all looked amazing and the rest of my group had lots of positive feedback.
Our server was great- very attentive and really upbeat. Most of the other patrons were regulars who invited us to come back again - and I just might!
