“Mad Jack's is a great place to go anytime. The food and service is always great. Truthfully I always get the burger with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, grilled onions & their special sauce.....always perfect. You can not pass up there home cut fries.“

“AURORA's PLACE for FOODIES!James Place has always been our Friday date night spot because of the friendly atmosphere with comfort food, libations and regulars. With the new year, the tables are set with linen and white china-the perfect background for Chef Ian's rotating and creative cuisine. An eclectic shuffling of melodies flow through the cozy space. My most recent experience was a delight. The strip steak was seasoned and grilled to perfection accompanied by potatoes lyonnaise and steamed broccoli. Not only delicious but a beautiful presentation emphasized by Brandon's twirl of the plate. Dessert of poached baby Bosc pear in Beaujolais sauce ended dinner on a high note. And what's not to love about sipping a Caymus Cabernet by the glass?Bravo to the James Gang for their continuous efforts toward excellence in food, service and atmosphere :) Reservations highly recommended!“

“We made a reservation to visit this establishment on February 24th in a party at 4:00. We've been to a couple other places in chagrin falls but never here and we've heard some good things about it. It looks like it was an old house that was converted into a restaurant and bar. Overlooking the top of the falls it's quite picturesque. We were able to park in the parking garage and secure the spot it was pretty tight but the parking was free so you can't complain about that! Our friends are already there and we were seated promptly. The seating was also pretty tight and although my back was to it there was a large party right behind me. The server was not as Hasty with the drinks and she probably could have been because we just sat there staring at each other wondering where she got off to. I was drinking sparkling water and split a bottle with my friend's wife so we were okay but it would seem that those that were drinking beverages that would have required a trip to the bar had to wait a little bit longer.. We got two appetizers one of them I recall was the minas cheese and the other was Franco passerino. A chicken dish of some sort. For my entree I ordered Feijoada; this is from what I understand a stew that they used to serve to prisoners which includes ham bacon beef pork kielbasa and served with rice collard greens was actually pretty darn good so much so that I couldn't finish it.. the ladies ended up getting a steak dish and a fish dish but I couldn't tell you what they were I was focused on mine. Because the tables were so small a lot of restaurants end up putting a lot of unnecessary crap on the tables like table tents candles and the such. When our server returned I asked her to remove the candle to which she proceeded to drop it and it landed on me spilling the content of the candle on my Polo sweater. Neat. Also landed on my hand but to my surprise it was just a warm oil it wasn't wax. It didn't hurt in any way but the only thing that her was the fact that my multiple attempts to launder the oil out of my Polo sweater ended in failure. I wish the table was just a little bit bigger and to make the experience a little better maybe a little more tension from the server because she spent the majority of her time with the big party behind us. While I get it and understand that big parties are demanding we spent in unusual amount of time waiting on our server. Lose a star for that“

“3 meals and all were fabulous. My chicken sandwich and sweet potato waffle fries were excellent. One friend had a delicious salad and the other had a yummy burger. Nice selection of beers and bar beverages too. We'll definitely be back.“

“Was very disappointed that you had no soup to start. I can not eat salad. My husband asked for a side order of pasta with hiss airline chicken. The waitress said no side orders. He would have to order a full pasta. His plate arrived with a small piece of airline chicken and nothing else on his plate. Not even greenery. For $30...sad. ????“

“Amazing cozy place. Has great atmosphere. Family who owns it are amazing, everyone is so helpful and considerate. I’m new vegan so I was very honored to be treated with chefs special vegetable plate dinner. Drinks are amazing. They have team of servers that has been with them for long time, this makes it very authentic and knowledgeable. Loved everything about it. Upstairs and downstairs both equally amazing spots.Vegetarian options: Some dishes certainly could be ordered as we can option. Chef is happy to create something special and beautiful for your taste.“

“The restaurant's mission is consistency and the food is ALWAYS delicious. The short rib bruschetta paired with the Maison Nicholas Pinot Noir was absolute perfection. I constantly enjoy sitting in the pub area and my mom, dad, and significant other especially enjoy the pub food including the short rib nachos and pretzels.I love to get my holiday wine here as well. I am always so impressed with how much variety NE has. I managed to get a case with all of my favorites including a Beaujolais Nouveau, Georges Duboeuf Pinot Noir, and Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc for the upcoming holidays. I do wish that the beer selection had a tad more variety as we enjoy ciders, sours, goses, and stouts and the fridge was mostly IPAs but overall, always a wonderful visit to this local gem.PS. Lambic beer is a little rare to find and I'm really glad NE stocked this!“

“We like that there are a fair number of vegan dishes on their menu. The food is freshly prepared and has lots of flavor. Their veggie burger is very good, as well as their pizza. It is easy to modify their pizzas to be vegan. They have a lot of vegan side dishes too. The charred broccoli is a favorite of mine, but I do order it light on the oil because they use quite a bit. There are a lot of salad options, which can be modified to be vegan. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. They are happy to make changes to menu items to make them vegan if possible. #Veganuary“

“Tonight was our first visit to Village Wine and Martini bar but it won't be our last! The food was amazing, portions were decent and not too pricey. To make our experience even more enjoyable, we had the best time with our server, Bob! He was by far one of the best servers we have had in a long time! We laughed and joked around with him and he took great care of the four of us. In my opinion, a good server is just as important as the food for an overall exceptional dining experience and Village and Bob delivered on all fronts!“

“It's be a while since I've been to cooper's hawk! Never disappoints! I got a chicken dish with caper, angel noodles and light white lemon sauce. My partner got a filet cooked perfectly, mashed potatoes, onion rings, and asparagus. He said it was wonderful! Great gob Coopers Hawk!“
