"My sister and I recently went to give Noosa a try, because A) I've always driven past it and my curiosity was killing me and B) it's one of the only places in Mentor that has patio seating (what's wrong with you people up there...).\n\nWe went for lunch on a Saturday around one. It was eerily quiet...no one was there except for the one server and ourselves. Paul was very nice and attentive as a server. We were hoping to just do appetizers or an array of them but there were only three appetizer options and none that we liked as options so we had to move onto something else as an option. My sis and I both ordered the lunch special which was a cup of soup, a salad and an option of a flatbread or 4oz burger. \n\nShe had the soup du jour (I believe it was a vegetable-based soup of sorts) and I had the tomato basil. Both were good. Hers was a little watery in my opinion. Mine was pretty tasty. We both did the salad and burger option. \n\nThe lunch trio was roughly $10 so I wasn't expecting greatness. The salad I had was a caesar and was less than exciting. Regular ol' iceberg with some cheese and dressing. Tomatoes were scarce (if I had any, I don't recall). The burger was really average. I was certainly expecting the reputation this place has via around town and on here it would've been better. The grill flavor in it was about the nicest thing and even that is minuscule in my opinion. I think the burger I can make was better. It was literally not seasoned at all, swiss cheese and a bun. No onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles--nada= B-O-R-I-N-G food.\n\nI feel what I got it should've been $7-8. Not $10. If things were seasoned well and a bit more up in quality, $10 would've been fine. I have no quarrel for paying for a good meal but it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. \n\nPaul is a great asset to them though. He was very friendly and our food got out very quick-yet again though, it's probably because we were the only ones there so of course our service should've been top-notch. No excuse for it to not have been if it wasn't. \n\nEither way, not sure I'd come back. I feel it was kind of a waste of money and what I paid for was more to sit in the sun than anything else. \n\nIf you're wondering about going, try it. I may try their happy hour. Supposedly they are \"known\" for their supposed \"strong drinks\". Then again, if it's a drink-I'm gay and have high-standards. What straight bars call \"strong\" is incessantly weak. Guess I'll have to see..."^^ . .
