| - Way overpriced for sub-par food and sloooww service. We went for the patio -and it is one of the nicest patios you'll find on the West Side of Cleveland - shaded, lush greenery and spacious. I would say if you want to go sit outside and drink, this would be fine but do not plan on even a mediocre dining experience.
There were three of us in our party, our server who has been there for years apparently, was extremely slow - it took over 20 minutes for him to even take our order. It went downhill from there, one of us had the duck which the server highly recommended - it was supposed to be roasted - it looked more like it was stewed or braised - unappetizing, no sear on it, and swimming in sauce. I had the special - ahi tuna, should be relatively simple to make appetizing - wrong. Was suppsoed to be prepared rare with an olive tapenade (that should have been my first tip-off) on top of a "potato salad". The tuna barely had any pink to it, let alone rare, it was way over-seasoned on top of which the olives made it incredibly salty. The potatoes were mealy in texture and not much of a salad. The other in our party had the scallops, she said they were ok - they looked like they had a nice a sear, but don't know if they were cooked properly. We started with the maine lobster pizza - GRAEASY and gross; others got caesar salads - soso there and completely overdressed. The food was ridiculously over priced, for the price you pay you're better off going 10 minutes further into Ohio City - the Flying Fig, Crop, or Tremont to Farenheit, or Dante. Bummer because I really wanted to find a great West Side restaurant with an equally great patio - this wasn't it.
