Very odd experience at Sara's Place... After hearing so many positive reviews I made a reservation for dinner. The area is beautiful and the restaurant is situated in a neat "downtown" area of Gates Mills I didn't know existed. However upon entering and checking in, we were told to head upstairs as that's where we were being seated. The upstairs dining area in my opinion isn't as nice as downstairs, although there is a nice bar in the room. The staff upstairs was confused from the moment we got there, then the waiter and bartender proceeded to carry out a very heated argument which lasted the entire visit. Between them and the manager who kept coming up to check on the situation, it made for a very uncomfortable situation. There were obviously some major staff issues going on and we decided to just get an appetizer and cut our meal short. To summarize: the mussels we ordered were actually quite good and therefore two stars. The drinks were made incorrectly. The staff was fighting in front of the guests. It was a holiday and a day they are not usually open, but that doesn't excuse the unprofessional behavior. I will give it one more try another time.
