“Understaffed at the bar on a Friday night. bar server with full bar and she's also serving tables. 15 minutes to get served... and she's also getting drinks for the waitresses... and she didn't have a clue as to why we left... G.M doesn't have a clue either, as you wouldn't allow poor service to exist in your establishment on one of the busiest nights of the week - we took our $165.00 for dinner and drinks elsewhere where service was great ??“

“I chose to celebrate my birthday here tonight because the food never disappoints and tonight was no exception. The four of us dined on melt-in-the-mouth short ribs, perfectly cooked burger, unbelievably flavorful meatballs and pizza and a lemon cake with pistachio frosting that our absolute ROCK STAR server, Michael, was kind enough to comp for this birthday girl. Sarita is the best restaurant in the entire greater Cleveland area. No need to save for a special occasion, the prices aren’t crazy. Thanks again for a very happy birthday.“

“This place is a true gem. Soft piano greets you as you step off an elevator with a fishtail behind. Calamari, was tender and not greasy, dinners were fabulous, server had impeccable knowledge of the region of the fish my husband ordered, kompachi, a Hawaiian fish. Desert did not disappoint with cinnamon roll garnished with candied bacon and iced cream. It was fabulous, all around! Pier w has been in business for years and has maintained the same impeccable standards, a mere impossibility in the restaurant industry. Hats off and thanks pier w!Wheelchair accessibility: Turnstyle doors would not be friendly to wheelchairs.“

“We stumbled upon this place and it was just the most perfect rainy day brunch spot. My boyfriend has steak and eggs. I had the western omelette with a side of pancakes. Everything was absolutely delicious and extremely reasonably priced. I ordered a half iced tea + half lemonade off the menu, which Gina specially prepared for me. It was our first time here but Gina and her team treated us like family. This place is just stellar all around and we can’t wait to come back!!“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“This place was amazing! I took my 18-year-old daughter here for dinner and she tried something new to her. Turns out she wasn't a fan (not because it wasn't good) But simply because they were flavors she wasn't familiar with. As it is with trying anything new, there's a fifty/ fifty chance you won't like it. Needless to say they were very understanding, and accommodating. Mike got our new order in right away, and went out of his way to make sure our experience was a good one. Thank you also to our wonderful server, Bella. For putting up with us with a smile, and making sure we were taken care of from the start. Definitely would recommend, and will definitely be back.“

“I have zero complaints about my experience here. The dining area reminds me of a split between a contemporary bar and a 1980s hometown establishment. I was worried that the food was going to be light, but they fill their plates. Our server Bryan hooked us up with great recommendations the whole way through. The pie menu has some classics on it, with a couple eccentric choices if you feel like rolling the dice. I'll be back before long.Highly recommend the Banana Brandy pie. Didn't even think to ever make a pie with a Nilla Wafer crust, but it took me straight back to my childhood.Highly recommend the Pork Appetizer, and the Duck Pasta. The Elote dip appetizer is hefty and very good.“

“First time ever @ Crocker Park as we were taken for lunch today at Yard House to celebrate Mother’s Day.Great looking restaurant from the outside and eating areas all around the outside and oh what a massive inside and so clean and welcoming was warm and friendly.A huge shoutout to our waiter Patrick who went above and beyond for service..I had the best coffee ever along with Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque-yum to die for..we had appetizers including Bavarian pretzel and Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds and tried truffle fries and to top it off a mini cheesecake crème brûlée…We’ll definitely be back to this fantastic spot and again thank you Patrick for getting our dessert on you and the wonderful message on our dish..made our day.See you again for sureFive star for suretWell we went again on 4/15 for a celebration with seven of us and the service was so great we tipped 22%.Food was amazing and music was fantastic.Restaurant was booming for near 8pm.Please do yourself a favor and eat here as you’ll be back..“

“I love this place! Hadn't been in a couple years and went the other night for a drink and some apps.....we just missed happy hour, but everything is worth the price! The blood orange margaritas are amazing, and the brussel sprouts are soooo good! We're definitely going back for the brunch!Our bartender Will was the best. Gave recommendations on his fav's and was attentive but never intrusive.Of course the view is gorgeous. Even sitting at the bar you get an amazing view of Downtown.“

“Amazing food here in a comfy space.. excellent bartender with the most’est . Just ask her for anything on the top shelf, you won’t regret it..The burger is always excellent as is anything in the specials menu. The staff is incredibly friendly and the chef and kitchen staff are on point with the cooking skillsTry anything on the menu, honestly I don’t think you can be disappointed hereIf you haven’t been here, stop whatever you’re doing and get here now!!!!“

“My husband and I came on a Friday night around 8pm. It was busy and lively inside. We were told it'd be. 30-45 minute wait but we could wait at the bar. There were actually a couple bar stools open so we just ended up ordering and eating there. Our table actually only took 10 minutes to be available. We did not let our phones eat first lol, hence the bad photos. I got the shrimp basket and side salad. Shrimp was so good and the cocktail sauce tasted like they made it with the perfect amount of horse radish. My husband got the fish and chips. Fish was flaky and tender and the fries were yummy! Even though both items were fried, they didn't feel super greasy or heavy. We loved our meals and would recommend.“

“Mia was our server at the bar ( not sure if I spelled her name right)Excellent server, professional, sweet, and adorable!Did not engage with the other servers and paid attention to the customers she had in front of her. Very rare to have someone so attentive and friendlyShe has been there a while because we remembered her from our past visit. It was nice to see someone still employed there and still happy❤️BJ bowl was so good!!!“

“My cousin and I went to swensons early this evening and my servicer was shekina. She was extremely efficient, sweet and very patient. Every question we had she answered without hesitation and with a smile on her face the entire time. The food was very hot, fresh and delivered fast. I don’t think I have had better service at swensons then I did tonight. We definitely will be coming back when she is working.“

“Perfect place for breakfast like mom used to make. They have all of your favorite breakfast foods here, along with plenty of hot coffee. They also have a decent lunch menu with the traditional offerings, all fresh and plentiful. During lent they have all you can eat fish with two sides of your choice ( fries, pierogi, MAC & cheese, coleslaw ) plus soup or salad on Wednesday and Friday for about $14.00. I've been in twice so far this season! What is best about this place is the great service. Everyone is friendly and the servers are attentive. It's a small, unassuming place that seems like family, one of Brook Parks best!“

“I've been here several times and have always had a positive experience, from the friendly service to the delicious food. Today's Easter brunch was no exception; not only did everything on the buffet taste fresh, but the staff continually replenished the food to ensure everyone was able to enjoy it. Our server Dan was also so sweet and made our family outing that much more enjoyable. This place is such a gem in Westlake!“

“Excellent atmosphere and food. There appeared to be some confusion among the servers on several occasions on issues I couldn't discern. Plus, they also appeared a bit harried at times too. As well, the service was a bit "uneven" on several occasions during the meal. And, more specifically, when my table was cleared between courses, silverware was not automatically replenished. Plus, there were noticeable gaps in getting my table cleared between courses.“

“What a perfect breakfast! On our way to the airport and stopped for some food. CFS, biscuits, gravy, French toast, pancakes, eggs, country potatoes, ALL perfect and amazing. Can't imagine being more satisfied with a diner breakfast.Kid-friendliness: Great family atmosphere“

“Went for Easter Brunch today.Food buffet was good, plenty of choices. Great Easter bunny which went to tables, photos available.The place was decorated well. Very easy to get what you needed, drinks provided and for purchase.Check it out. Staff and owners were great! Highly recommended!“

“LOVE Mike's ❤️!! Always GREAT food! Great beer selection! Fast, friendly service. I had the beet burger! It was delicious ?!!! Yes, beet!!! And creamy goat ? cheese. Mmm mmmmVegetarian options: The best BEET ? BURGER!Parking: Street and lot behind“

“Great live music, plenty of TVs for whatever sport event you want to watch.Service was extremely friendly and helpful.The food was your normal pizza and wings, however the pizza was gourmet level and the wing sauces were amazing..Highly recommend the chicken bacon ranch pizza!“

“I come here every year when I go to CL. It is absolutely fantastic. Every time the server is very friendly and kind. We order a make your own bowl and they have countless options to choose from with tags. The food is so so SO tasty and very filling. They have so many smoothies too and they are so good. Everything is a very reasonable and affordable price compared to other trash restaurants like Dunkin and Starbucks which take 6$ for one small drink made up of sugar and ice water. If i could give this place over 100 stars I would.“

“Great experience! The food was really good and Brittany was great. I had the Asiago Chicken salad and my husband had the Smash Burger. Both were delicious. The drinks were also good. Was hard to decide which one to have and Brittany gave great recommendations.“

“Wonderful experience from the moment we walked in till we left. The pace of the dining experience was perfect. Our meals were delicious, everyone was very happy. All the staff we interacted with was friendly and pleasant. The atmosphere was just lovely. Thinking about going back to try the happy hour!“

“A little hidden gem in Avon Lake, Ohio. Friendly staff and polite hardworking employees everywhere you turn. We made reservations and they were accommodating. It’s a family friendly or date night kind of place. They have a small bar area up front with wine bottles every where, really cool vibes. The fresh bread and garlic butter are amazing. The Chicken Alfredo can easily feed 3-4 people, it’s HUGE! The grouper dish was good too. We had side of shrimp and calamari as well. Next time will save room for those delicious looking desserts. Clean and cozy spot!Parking: Parking lot upfront the restaurant.“

“This was our first time in the Aviator....and our server Tanell made it a Wonderful dining experience ...Our dinners were fabulous!...Tanells service was spot on to make us feel comfortable....there were no disappoints....We'll be Back!“

“The restaurant and service were both nice, but I didn't like my entree (lobster fettuccine). I'm not one to bother and send anything back, but my pasta was way too salty and there was entirely too much sauce/cheese. My appetizer (Buffalo chicken spring rolls) was great and the bread/butter was awesome. I am not sure I would return. But I wouldn't warn against it. Service was and ambiance were really nice.“

“I am never disappointed with this place! The cocktails and food are always so delicious and they have such care for quality. I'm on here in particular today to rave about the fish fry. After 12 years of living in Cleveland, I have finally found a fish fry that matches up to the delicious ones I ate growing up in upstate NY. Nothing against Clevelanders, but to me a fish fry is not tiny, breaded, dried out perch. I grew up eating giant, meaty, beer battered haddock that wouldn't even close up in the Styrofoam take out containers ? Their beer battered haddock, while cut into more manageable sizes, was perfection and finally hit the fish fry spot for me. Also, the hush puppies... whomever had the idea to put black sesame seeds in them... GENIUS. That toasty nutty flavor in there was killer. Last thing I'm going to go on about is the house-made tartar sauce. Delicious!! Thank you!“

“Awesome deli/restaurant. My husband loves the corned beef sandwich. It's huge!! We end up taking some of the meat home and we can make another sandwich. I like that you can get a half sandwich with soup or salad (I wish they would give you an option for a fruit bowl) which is very filling. One of my friends ordered the Saturday prime rib special. I believe it was $30.95 for an 12 to 14 oz prime rib served with soup or salad, potato and fresh green beans. The prime rib was huge and she let me try it and it was delicious. The au jus was one of the best I have had. Oh and the desserts are amazing. If you see something you like order and pay for it at the counter before you sit down. They will refrigerate it until after you eat. The reason I mention this is they do run out of some of the desserts. I specifically like on called France and want to make sure I get a slice. Oh on a previous visit I had the matzo ball soup and it was very good. I highly recommended Joe's!!“

“Ma & pa type place. Friendly staff, nothing super notable. Can get a fast, cheap breakfast that's good. It's more of a neighborhood restaurant than a destination.Kid-friendliness: Ma & pa place, kids will be fine.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a little tight if it's busy, otherwise you'll be fine.“

“If you have not tried aces depot do your mouth a real favor and go immediately the food was absolutely amazing everything you order is made fresh and in house had passed this bar and grill for many years and never thought to go try it finally did and if I could give 10 stars I absolutely would best food in the area amongst all other restaurants and bars in the area the bartender was absolutely amazing very on top of everything and would educate you on everything they have or that they can make“

“I was in the area and wanted to try a restaurant for breakfast. The first thing I noticed was how clean and bright this place was. There was no wait when I arrived and I was greeted immediately. I was seated and looked at the menu. There were so many good options, and I decided on the lemon pound cake French toast. It was complete with an infused whipped cream and fresh strawberries and blackberries on it. I had the option of baked bacon or homemade sausage. I couldn't decide, so my server suggested one of each. The food was so delicious. I could taste the herbs in the sausage. The bacon was baked to perfection, and I liked the fruit. The egg was fine. Unfortunately, my server let me know that my dish was being discontinued next week. I guess that means I need to return and pick a new favorite.“

“Cool place to go for dinner or a drink. Returned for brunch on a sunny day and it was a little dark inside, which is not my personal preference but I understand given the theme of the place. Food and service were great as always.Vegetarian options: Breakfast hash.Avocado toast.“

“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“

“Tried Harry Buffalo while in town for a work trip. The Buffalo chicken egg rolls were really good with the dipping sauce. I personally wasn't crazy about the wings. They were ok but I've had alot better, but I think I would eat it again.“

“The service is excellent, and the coffee is hot. The eggs are very fresh and the corned beef hash is hot! Very good dining experience for a neighborhood diner. The toast has real butter and it was brought out hot. I will definitely come here again.“

“I've traveled all across the country and been to hundreds of dives and The Islander is hands down my favorite place to go. The food is great, the steaks are done perfectly and the staff are all very sweet and attentive, even when it's at full capacity. Coco, thank you for the warm welcome the first night I came in there. Brooklyn, Kate and Amanda, y'all made the best team and a great environment on New Year's, the rest of the staff that I don't recall all of your names, all of you have made this the best place ever. To the local crowd, thank you for making a complete stranger feel very welcome and included. If you're new in town, stop in, you'll find many new friends!“

“This hands down was probably one of the best dinner experiences I have had. The service was fantastic and it gave that almost a regular feel to it! Food was good, I ordered the God Father pasta, will recommend. But the ambiance alone paid back for any take backs (there weren’t many) Definitely will return in the future.“

“Food was delicious. I had the spinach dip and the philly cheese steak. The beer was cold and they had a lot of local options. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very personable and attentive. I was there for the solar eclipse and made several friends at the bar with my extra eclipse glasses. Would definitely recommend visiting here.“

“My Wife and I went to Mahle's Friday the 22nd for our 38th wedding anniversary. because we were eating early we didn't think we would need reservations but upon arrival we were told that with the walk-ins they had and the reservations on the books they were full. We mentioned to Beverly that we had traveled a considerable distance, upon hearing that she found us a perfect spot in the corner of the back dining room. And as always the food and service was excellent.“

“We haven’t been here in forever. I believe we will continue to stay away. Sadly my garlic parm wings were overcooked very dry and not much sauce. Not to mention they charged us $2 for it. On the positive side my husband’s fish was good. But that’s about it.“

“Great service with a smile and the food was very good. Had the perch fish sandwich, for fresh water fish was tasty the batter was crispy and quite good. The house cut fresh fries are good and the buttermilk ranch also good.Vegetarian options: Had a veggie burger, quesadilla, soup and salads available for vegetariansParking: If the parking lot is full the restaurant would be packed.“

“Parker's catered a memorial luncheon for our family at the Sunset Terrace in Lorain. Mitzi was a joy to work with in terms of planning and worked with me to customize the menu and consider every detail. The food was delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. The rating on the venue in this case is for the Sunset Terrace, which is operated by Lorain County MetroParks. It is a truly stunning place, right on the lake, with great parking. The contract is very inflexible, but for a venue that size, not a bad price. We've also eaten at Parker's a few times, and I always enjoy the food. It can get a little noisy during busy times (avoid prom season!).Vegetarian options: Limited. Menu is kind of heavy on meat.Dietary restrictions: Your servers will be able to tell you what is in the food. Catering was flexible about vegetarian and gluten-free options.“

“Restaurant full of happy people enjoying great food served by friendly, knowledgeable staff.Wheelchair accessibility: As with any restaurant with a drive-through, be careful of drivers distracted by opening coffee, unwrapping baked goods, etc.“

“The restaurant is located on the back side of a bar/brewery. The food was great. A little expensive but worth it. We drove from Toledo just to try it. The bun on the smash burger was perfect. My husband thought the cucumber salad was different but okay. The fries were really good. Service was great as well. They bring the food to you when it is ready. Oh and the chicken tenders were the best.“

“I loved everything about this place. Cozy, friendly and most importantly, delicious! Sunday is half off all wines under 100.00.Great date night or dinner with the guys or girls. Would strongly suggest the lobster cakes, lobster pasta and pepper soup. A little on the pricey side but was well worth it.“

“Been talking about trying it, finally did. Rotating daily sausage options, recommend the sausage sampler to try some of them. They also have my favorite beer on tap (Kentucky Bourbon Barrell Ale). I tried the Fried Bologna sandwich, it was goodThe wife had the Rib Eye, she said it was outstanding (melts in your mouth). We got the apple pie for 2 to-go, looks great.“

“Good quick service. I was there for the breakfast. It was Tasty. Hashbrown and scrambled eggs with some bacon and toast. They did not disappoint. Friendly service. If I'm in Cleveland again I would definitely have breakfast there again and Try something else. Overall Very Enjoyable experience.“

“We love to support local restaurants and Bar Nova is one of our favorites! We often get carryout and everything travels so well. It is prepped with care.Parking: There is limited parking right near the restaurant, but there is a large lot not far away.“
