This review will not be based on alcoholic beverages.
Pros:
Felice is a refurnished house with happy hour on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The first floor is reservations and regular dinners. The atmosphere is cozy as a house should be, and at the same time roomy and spacious, especially on the 2nd floor. On the 1st floor, they have a patio = a really nice touch, id imagine in the fall or summer nights.
This might just be one of the best happy hour places in Cleveland. Happy hour menu consists of over a dozen food items all prices from $3-5. The burger was somewhat dry (i always order medium), but the CHEESE was to die for. The lobster/shrimp? roll was quite delicious. The stuffed clams with manchego cheese was delicious. They only give you 3. The clams themselves could be a little less dry. They were not burnt by any means, but they were a bit ...crunchy...
Finally, the service was absolutely phenomenal. The waiter we had was very considerate. Orders came quickly. No hassle. I asked for a dessert menu. 10 seconds later he came. I asked for the check. 15 seconds later, it was given.
Speaking of desert...they have 4 options. We just shared the creme brulee, which was very good. Why was it good? the creme was not overly sweet, and had good consistency. The caramel layer was EVENLY distributed, and thin enough where it was easy to break with the spoon. Melts in your mouth.
Cons:
Everything was good. But was it phenomenal? it certainly wasn't the best burger, asparagus, lobster roll, stuffed clam that i ever had, but it was good ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE.
The portions were small, but what do you expect from a $3/4 plate of asparagus?...wihch also came with scattered olives.
What can be improved. have the creme brulee, which right now comes with raisins (good touch), instead come with fresh BLUEBERRIES. trust me on this if the restaurant people ever read this. Either dry them thoroughly and put them on top, or some with a small side.
