| - Even lunch? Yes, Washington Place is even delicious for a perfect, romantic lunch.
And let me tell you, more people need to go on romantic lunch dates. After today, I think I might make my beau take me out for these more often. It's a great, easier solution to the romantic meal out and it's something different, fun... and a hella-lot cheaper!
Anyways, back to the utter gloriousness that is Washington Place. First of all, I love the views from the back dinning room. It's a beautiful mixture of urban and gardens--and so romantic! Secondly, the service is always, *always* impeccable and today was no exception.
Lastly, and most importantly, the food. (Queue drool rag...) I cannot, and I repeat, cannot avoid getting the pot roast. Good god, man--I don't know what they do to make this so damn delicious, but please don't stop. A big piece of tender beef placed on a mound of fluffy, fantastic mashed potatoes with root veggies. Yes, yes and more yes. And what about those oxtails pierogies? I want these every day, all day.
The man loved his "Kinda Buttermilk Fried Chicken" (read: his plate was left clean) and the ending to our meal was perfection. Yes, fresh strawberry sorbet with fresh berries. I'd like to know where they found ripe berries in the middle of winter, but they were awesome.
Seriously, you cannot go wrong whether you come here for lunch, dinner --or hell, even if you stay overnight at the inn. They have amazing chefs, staff and it shows. If you haven't visited yet, make it on your top 5 in CLE to try, ASAP!!
Oh, and again, how can you beat free valet?! Answer: you can't.
