| - I always feel very comfortable at Cleveland Chop. The booths are nice and roomy, and it's hard not to feel delighted when they bring a warm pan filled with cornbread to your table when you arrive.
The cocktails are good (I've tried two of the mules. The traditional is good and I enjoyed the Kentucky Kickass tonight in honor of my love for Louisville, and it was a nice twist on the original.) The food is bordering on great. I don't think this would qualify as a favorite place I can't wait to go back to, but it's solid, the presentation is nice, and there's lots of flavor.
Tonight I had the chicken piccata. Be prepared for a very strong lemon taste. But the creamy, thick mashed potatoes underneath balanced it out. I could have done without the super salty capers, but hey, I'd rather have too much flavor than not enough. You can always scrape them off. It was a hefty portion... Even enough to save some for lunch tomorrow.
Our server was very sweet, and seemed to actually care that we had a good experience. It wasn't too busy, so we lingered after paying, and she kept coming back to fill our water. All around an enjoyable evening!
