Great dinner, really enjoyed the risotto dish and they were very generous with the seafood in the linguine dish.
Super fun time with my fiancé. It was for my birthday, we are getting married this Friday, and it will also be our anniversary that Friday as well. So we wanted to celebrate and this was the perfect spot. Everyone was super friendly and kind. They congratulated us at the door and the server made sure we picked the best choices and directed us well. Our server also gave me a birthday treat with a candle. Food was absolutely amazing and well cooked. The complimentary bread was amazing with the house made sauces.
This was my first time eating at this restaurant and it was such a positive experience. The server was the guy bartender. The service was quick and so knowledgeable about the whole menu really gave us a full picture of what we're ordering for the first time. We made a reservation and put that it was our anniversary and they brought us a cake and took a picture for us as a take home gift. Really romantic and special place. Food was delicious. we spent about $160 between two people and we got an appetizer, two mains, and 3 drinks total plus the tip. We think it was worth it! menu is seasonal and changes but they have salads, hot and cold appetizers, pasta, seafood, and other meats. Our server really made this an awesome experience. Thanks!
Food was delicious but not traditional Italian, it was more artistic in style. Enjoyed the meal but as the patio doors were wide open there was more street noise than expected
My boyfriend and I came here on June 28th. We were pretty excited to come back after the wonderful meal we had when we ate here for valentine’s day. Unfortunately this trip was very disappointing and we probably won’t be finding ourselves back. To start off, our server was fine but she was just doing her job, really no extra conversation. Bread came to the table first and they had changed it since we were last here. It wasn’t great- we also heard a bar guest say the same thing. We got the bresaola as an appetizer and that was probably the best thing we ate. But there weren’t enough crackers to meat so we found ourselves just eating slices of meat. I got the salmon- the salmon itself had no flavor. it didn’t seem like there was even salt and pepper. I tried clearing the sauce off the raviolis to use with my salmon so there was some flavor. My boyfriend got the Ribeye. It was nothing to write home about. Pretty underwhelming and under under seasoned- again didn’t seem like there was even salt and pepper. He asked for it medium rare and the inside of the steak almost seemed blue. We got the potato side- these were our favorite on valentine’s day but there wasn’t much flavor to the sauce this time and they were served on a plate and not a bowl making it hard to scoop the sauce up. We would’ve expressed our dissatisfaction with the manager but he seemed to only be talking to regulars that were there. He never stopped by our table or batted an eye at us. The server brought out Tiramisu as a treat to celebrate our anniversary which was kind but it was not a great bite at all.
We were looking forward to getting out for our anniversary seeing as we just had a baby and really needed a date night, but this was a very disappointing evening. Not sure if this is due to the changes that have been made but it was a total 180 from our valentines trip.
Our server Emerson was Fabulous!Food was very good.We celebrated a special birthday and received a awesome piece of cake!Nice evening !
Had a lovely lunch on a Sunday. Service was great. Food was delicious. They have wonderful pizzas.
The food was incredible and our waiter Albi was excellent! Will definitely be back again.
Stopped by for happy hour only to learn that it is limited to the bar. The bar was full and the restaurant refused to honor it at any of the numerous empty tables. In the end, it was for the better that the prices kept us from ordering more food because it gave our group food poisining.
This is a great, beautiful restaurant in downtown Cleveland. The servers and manager are wonderful and want you to be happy. The appetizers (tuna and carpaccio) were astounding. The main courses were not as good (very salty) but they remedied this for us and took it off the bill. I highly recommend.

A consistently impressive experience 😋 The gnudi and sea bass were amazing. There was a slight delay with our entrees, which they quickly gave us a heads up about and provided cocktails on the house and ended up paying for our entrees as well. Our server (Easton) was excellent.
Pretty disappointed for a high-end restaurant. We were seated at a wobbly table and had to ask for it to be fixed. Service was slow from the start — it took a while to get drinks, appetizers, or even anyone to check in. Throughout the entire meal, there was barely any service at all. Meanwhile, a higher-up or manager was going around checking on other tables but completely passed by ours. Both main courses were underwhelming, and the crab ravioli wasn’t enjoyable. Had to give my first lower tip — pretty upset about what should’ve been an enjoyable night.
The food, drinks and service was great. I was also able to get a reservation same day so we didn't have to wait to be seated. The one downside was the noise level. Sounds traveled throughout the restaurant so easily which made it very difficult to ear anything my date said. If the acoustics were better, I would have had no complaints!
Super bummed. Read great reviews, but what a let down. Originally requested a patio reservation but when we arrived, outside diners were being harassed by a pan handler who they shared had approached them aggressively and continually during their meal- so we asked to sit inside. It was a Tuesday so fully open and no problem. The oysters were the WORST I’ve ever had- absolute sandy grit. When we let service know she was clearly annoyed with us. It did seem all 4 tables around us also had issues with their meals so perhaps that impacted her response. The remainder of our meal entailed somewhat rude obligatory service, and ok food. There was a bus boy who was as exemplary- attentive and helpful, which was the only redeeming quality. Unfortunate to say, but will not be back.
Very lovely restaurant. Excellent choices on the menu. Felt a bit rushed by our waitress. Otherwise excellent!!
