the fam was in town and they were on the east side, so i trekked out here with my parents to have dinner.
the inside of the restaurant is not exactly what i expected but i thought it was really gorgeous. great view of the falls if you're into it, and the bar area is really cool and modern for something in chagrin falls. we had a table, but i kept getting up to creep by the bar to check the score of the ncaa basketball game that was on - you know, the one that led butler to play duke.
the menu is fairly varied - more casual fare - sandwiches, pizzas - and then more serious entrees - steaks, fish. i was somewhat disappointed with the fish/seafood options - salmon or tilapia? really? - but sucked it up and made a decision anyway.
i ended up having red meat which i almost never do, along with the beet and goat cheese salad. everything about the salad was excellent to me EXCEPT for how it was served. i wasn't into the stacks. everything tasted excellent, though. i had the beef with bacon, potatoes and asparagus. it might have been because i hadn't eaten all day, or because it was just that good, but i devoured the entire thing.
i am REALLY interested in going back during the week to have the scallops with blood orange.
everyone at my table seemed very happy with their salads and meals - my dad killed a half slab of the ribs after seeing someone else order them. we split the red velvet cake which was so good - lighter than the red velvet cake i make myself - and was an excellent end to a pretty wonderful meal.
good drink options, didn't have any absinthe though, and fairly good wine list. i'm always happy when i get malbec by the glass.
again, i can't imagine i would haul it all the way to chagrin falls to go here again (besides the fact that i want to force someone to meet me here during the week after work to have those scallops!) but it was very good.
