| - I have been here once before and it didn't stick out too much. The food was great obviously, but CLE has so much to offer with awesome restaurants lately. ANYWAY, tonight we went for my husbands birthday and it was FANTASTIC. It was crazy busy (especially for a Wednesday night in my opinion) and our service was great. Our server (Joe? But I had a lot of martinis), was so attentive. He was very conscientious of the timing of our food and had a hawk eye for empty glasses! We tried the bone marrow (which I always love at home and other places), but I didn't realize here they take it out of the bone and kind of flash fry it. So easy to eat and delectable. Our party also got the hams appetizer, pierogis, frisée salad, pork shank, strip steak, and rib eye steak. Pork shank was falling off the bone tender. The strip steak had a great pepper crust with delicious hollandaise (peppercorn crust is not my cup of tea but even I liked that). The rib eye was melting in our mouth tender, perfectly cooked, and served with a ton a sauces (I love options). The herbed olive oil was my favorite along with fat, flakey Snow White salt flakes. For birthday dessert, even the gel writing (in jam?!) tastes good. This visit made a lasting impression and am already daydreaming about returning.
