| - Came here to celebrate a special occasion.
Food [B-] Having already perused the reviews, I did not come in with any expectations for the food itself. That being said, we were craving seafood and ended up ordering a ocean-themed set of plates. Starting off, the tuna tartare had interesting components, yet lacked the cohesiveness and integration expected for a tartare dish. The tuna pieces were haphazardly arranged, and were not flavored with any sort of marinade, as if thrown on as an afterthought. As for entrees, the sea scallops were of reasonable size and cooked OK, lacking the firm bounce, whether due to lack of freshness or the amount of heat employed by the chefs. I tend to stay away from "specials," yet this time the swordfish seemed so much more promising than the rest of the items on the menu. Unfortunately, the swordfish was a tad overcooked, which was a shame considering the inherent flavor potential. Rounding off the marine experience, a chocolate cake served a la mode with pistachio ice cream, which was just fine. Was the food terrible? Not at all, however, for the price point and the value of food you do receive, just accept that you are paying essentially a "cover charge" for the view and it'll make the experience more enjoyable.
Service [A-] Our waiter was pleasant, attentive, flexible, and did not push any items, which is always appreciated. We asked for specific substitutions, without any issues. Water and bread refilled in a timely manner.
Ambiance [A+] Perhaps it was the company I was with, or just the glistening of the water as it flowed into that autumn night, that made the occasion more enjoyable. The views here are outstanding. Our waiter was kind enough to place us in prime seats to get a full view of the river and the falls under the night lights. Being part of the Sheraton doesn't detract from the environment, and if anything it adds a little bit of pizzazz. Comfortable seating, well-spaced out from other tables and ample walkways make you feel overall very cozy. Dressing up is optional, as there will be hotel guests who will stroll in with more casual attire, while those on romantic adventures will often dress to the nines.
In summary, come here for the views. I would say for the price, the dining experience itself was 3.5 stars, so I'm rounding up for the excellent ambiance. Stay for the views. For a hotel restaurant in Cuyahoga Falls, it was a nice dining experience for the right occasion.
