So, Cleveland does not have a reputation for great seafood. Which should have been enough to steer me away from an airport place trying to recreate a Baltimore crab restaurant. But in a lapse of judgment, I gave it a try.
I ordered the shrimp and crab flatbread, because I wasn't super hungry, didn't want to spend a ton of money, and hate cucumbers and iceberg lettuce. Ok.
The whole thing was the color of dead grass. The first few bites were ok, then it was just bland and kind of rubbery and can-flavored.
The table next to me had a plate with a few abandoned lettuce leaves and some red onions on it. The plate sat there uncleared the entire time I was in the restaurant, onion scent wafting my way as numerous staff members walked past the table multiple times. Ugh.
When a guy a few tables over asked how long it would take for the food to arrive, the waitress told him, "all our food is programmed to come out in 10 minutes." No wonder it looks and tastes like mass-produced dreck. That's exactly what it is.
The service was quick and pleasant. Too bad the place didn't offer up a better product. There are restaurants that serve great food fast. This isn't one of them.
