| - I had high hopes for the Burntwood Tavern. I read great reviews of the Chagrin location and read promising plans of the new spot in River. Big fans of The Pub, we checked it out for my friend's birthday. We got a table promptly. The beer and wine list was good and I ordered a milk stout. :) I was impressed with what
they had done to the interior with new lights, sleeker booths and exposed brick.
When we ordered our meals, I discovered they were out of salmon which incredibly limited my options as a pescetarian. There weren't many vegetarian options, but I'm sure they could veg something up. I subbed shrimp for salmon in my salad. It was a pile of spinach with six shrimp. It was good but not great. Everyone else enjoyed their food which included a burger, the blackened chicken wrap, and the excellent fish and chips.We were hoping to stay for drinks but our server and the restaurant seemed in a hurry to close. After waiting way too long for another drink, we decided to try somewhere else.
We decided to check it out again for Mother's Day. They were out of salmon...again. Our server didn't tell us this until we ordered which surprised me considering salmon is in at least 5 items on the menu. Then they forgot our Cesar salad, the turkey wrap was lukewarm, and I think my sandwich was supposed to be on ciabatta bread. The service was friendly but slow and the food was just okay, so we Ieft disappointed again.
We could be going on off nights and I don't like writing not so great reviews. However, I really wanted to like Burntwood and left feeling less than impressed.
