| - I've been here on two occasions and while the drinks were okay, I was unimpressed with the food and the service.
I've been here for happy hour, which is from 4-7pm M-F. They have "deals" on both food and drinks, which I felt were not that discounted (martinis are still $8... which I feel is a little pricey). The food was reasonably priced at happy hour, but still definitely not an awesome deal by any means, pizzas are $8.50 and some appetizers are $6. The quality of the food was even lower than these prices.
I've had the pizza here, which is okay but not really unique. I also had the Fairmount fries, which are basically fries with bacon and cheese. They're also okay but not spectacular. Most recently I had the spring roll, which is basically a ton of blue cheese, some proscuttio and a little bit of apple fried in this huge spring roll wrapper and served with ranch dressing. This was 95% blue cheese and 5% other stuff, and it was wayyyy too much blue cheese flavor, even for a person who is okay with pungent cheeses. And it was so greasy. And it was served with freaking ranch dressing, just in case you didn't get enough white creamy fattening stuff already in the egg roll. I really didn't like this dish (as you can probably tell) and this was one of the rare times in my life that I didn't finish restaurant food because I didn't like it.
Also, the service was really slow both times I've been here. To be fair, it's been with a larger sized group and during happy hour both times, but I still think that they should be able to attend to their guests even under these circumstances. For example, it took 45 min or longer to get our food, and then another 45 min to get the bills. I also waited for 15 min or so to get refills on water after we ran out. Finally, they forgot one of the dishes I ordered, although they got it out to me quickly once I let them know about it.
Overall, there are better happy hours in Cleveland both food-wise, deal-wise, and service-wise.
