Aurora is a quiet suburb in the southeastern outskirts of Cleveland. So no, this ain't Tremont or Ohio City. But out of this farmland crops up this place that offers food that would be, in my view, the best you can get that's similar to a downtown foodie spot. Not at par with being adventurous or eclectic, but very good enough to intrigue the palate. I'm giving in 5-stars just for being the only such place with imagination in the whole town.
Patio seats are plenty! And... more importantly it is NOT located in an architectural monstrosity we call a strip mall -- but in some strip that resembles a refurbished "old" barn town. Charming feel.
The calamari passed what I call the rubber band test, it was soft and extremely tender. The rib-eye steak was cooked to the correct temperature and was tastily combined with their own horseradish sauce (although without the dark charred crust you'd see in them fancy steakhouses which I feel is the best way to have steak). Bottom line though -- it's what I'd call a great steak for the price. All food was served hot. Service was excellent.
