| - Ughhhhh.
I can barely muster the energy to write a review. Just thinking about eating here makes me want to vom.
I was waaay excited when I heard there was a restaurant specializing in grilled cheese deliciousness, with homemade bread, deep fried yumminess...a full bar. I was prepared for the wait - 40 minutes - knowing full well we'd just find a seat at the bar. What I wasn't prepared for was the heat, hotter inside than out with a broken ac. I suppose even that would have been tolerable if the smell of sanitizing soap wasn't mixing with fried grease and wafting through the already stagnant air. An off duty employee - very nice guy - was the only saving grace if the place, being that he was super polite and confirmed we could just share one order.
Sadly, even that was too much. We split a Monte Cristo, a monster of a sandwich with some sort of berry preserve side (which the server forgot to bring out) that tasted like the oil it was fried in hadn't been changed in days. We ate the sandwich, walked out happy for the experience, and within ten minutes regretted every bite we'd managed.
I could never eat here again, even if I lived in Cleveland. Apparently they've had a lot of "haters" reviewing, but I give em three stars for concept - I say my experience, however, wouldn't merit even those three.
In short: if you're going to deep fry something, do it well.
