Very disappointed, both my date and I. Late November, doing Playhouse theater on a Sunday afternoon. My date - where shall we eat after? Tremont? I immediately go on Yelp and search for good restaurants nearby. District had received an excellent review from Cleveland.com yet mixed/mediocre reviews from patrons...We should have trusted the patron reviews. The food just okay and beverages overpriced. They were busy for the 1.5 hours after our show, the server took over 10 minutes to greet us, another 10 for the drinks to arrive; though I'd made a reservation and we arrived early. While eating the meatball appetizer (way too over-spiced to taste the "angus beef"), they ran out of bread, which was around 7 PM. Seriously? I've never heard of a restaurant that runs out of bread (isn't that a throwaway?) during dinner service.
Take note that if you're going to Playhouse Square, take a few minutes and drive downtown or Tremont, Ohio City or Little Italy for your meal before or after the show. I guarantee you will not be disappointed as we were with District.
Read reviews and responses from the restaurant posted here. Agreed.
