Felice is closing :( but if you need a place to grab dinner before they do so on December 23rd, I would recommend it! It's an incredibly quirky and cozy space in Larchmere with American-fusion type food. I've been to Felice a few times with my friend and we went again last night to make sure we got one last taste of the menu before they switch ownership. All of my experiences at Felice have been a 4 or 5. Last night the service we got was questionable (our waitress was inattentive and confused + they were out of several items/ingredients that we were really excited to try) but overall still had a good time. We got the crispy goat cheese, vegan aguachile (wanted the octopus but they were out), flat iron steak (subbed potato gratin for french fries), an Untitled Arts CBD seltzer (got grapefruit because waitress couldn't remember the other flavors and said grapefruit is the best one anyways), and the Dizzy Atmosphere (with regular tequila instead of mezcal because they were out, wanted the Renegade but they didn't have any gin). The crispy goat cheese is the star of the show at Felice. It comes with a lovely tomato jam and has a bit of heat. Our crostini was actually just slices of bread that were un-toasted, but we have had much better experiences with the dish as a whole before. Despite the bread being soft the goat cheese was still amazing! The vegan aguachile was fine. I think the heart of palm is actually a pretty good vegan sub for octopus. Of course I wish I could've gotten the octopus, but this dish was very bright and citrusy. It came with only 2 tostones, so we had to ration, but it balanced the rest of our meal nicely. Steak was good and I'm really happy they were able to substitute the potato gratin for fries. Their ketchup isn't actually ketchup it's like a marinara/tomato jam type situation, but we really enjoyed this dish as we were craving red meat this night. Would recommend you rush to Felice to dine before Dec 23! My most recent experience was weird and not representative of what is is usually like at Felice, but I'm still going to miss it dearly.

What a great place. It feels very homie. We moved up multiple flights of stairs through cozy little rooms. Hip and simple art on the walls. A wonderful chandelier. Then we tasted the food. Wonder flavor combinations. Great selection of a variety of proteins and vegetarian dishes. Blue point oysters were on special and they were phenomenal. If I were to add one criticism I would say good delivery could have been better, more hands on deck to deliver all at once. Kaeleigh did a spectacular job. We will be back when we visit Cleveland again.

The food was very good. The music was a bit loud, especially when the place got a bit empty. The service was slow. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to come back and tell us they ran out of chocolate cake.

This was my first time and everything was great. The menu contained multiple dishes that I wanted to try. The charcuterie plate is a perfect starter and the flank steak was tender and flavorful. As for the dessert, words don't describe the cobbler. Throw in good service and a unique setting and you've got a gem of a restaurant.

Had a really lovely experience with delicious food. Salmon cakes, butternut squash soup, and Mac and cheese. Really great atmosphere.

The patio is absolutely wonderful; we had a great evening. The menu sounds excellent, however, we noticed that the execution didn't quite live up to the promise. For example, our wings weren't hot or particularly crispy, our crostini (on the crispy goat cheese plate) were soggy, and there were several other little things like this. In fact, all of the bread items that we got in our various dishes weren't very fresh. All of the food we received was perfectly fine, but for the price we expected a better culinary experience. That said, I would still go back to try other dishes - I want to like this place better than I did, so I'd be happy to give it another chance.

Service pretty slow but food was quite delicious. Had to flag down server to finally take our order. A few of us got cocktails which were very over-priced. Dinners a bit pricey too.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian and vegan options.Parking: Easy street parking right by restaurant.

I took my family here on a recent vacation and was really wowed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the cocktail I ordered was striking and inventive. The service was very thoughtful and organized. For example, I'd ordered an extra dish to-go for my brother, who was unable to attend the dinner, and they timed it to be brought out with the check, so that it could be brought back fresh. I thought the outdoor dining space was particularly great, it was a spacious, quiet patio with apple trees and a lovely cabana-style bar on one side. Will definitely come back my next time in town.

Omg and wow. This is an incredible place to dine. Super beautiful and historic home turned restaurant. We had exceptional service , and the food was amazing . Some of the best craft cocktails in the area . Food is always unique and diverse each time we go and it's simply a NY style restaurant right here in Cleveland .

Fabulous atmosphere and delicious food. Really nice servers and staff. It's a wonderful restaurant inside and outside.
My second time to Felice, and it stays impeccable. This place is a perfect date night spot. This time, I sat outside in their massive patio. The scents of the herbs growing in the garden welcome you as you sit at your table. It's really quite nice. I started with a really yummy cocktail, the Earth Person. Their cocktail menu had lots of fun drinks, and it is clear they put a lot of effort into their drinks. We tried an assortment of their small and large plates. The tomato salad was an amazing starter, with creamy burrata and flavorful tomatoes. The crispy basil topping really elevated the dish. The grilled sardines were great too, very meaty and the pickles helped balance the dish. We also shared a a seafood soup, which had a really flavorful broth of coconut milk and fish stock. There were large chunks of fish meat, cooked perfectly and very flaky. The mussels worked really well, as you got a flavorful soup bite along for the ride. And! There was secret rice in the bottom. We spooned the entire bowl clean. So delicious. Our server was really kind and attentive, and our food came quickly. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Felice for such a great meal.

I really want to give them more stars, but objectively I have to say my last two visits have been underwhelming. The ambiance and wait staff are excellent. Once you find parking, there rarely is a wait for a table. I applaud them for trying more unique dishes, but overall the execution is off the mark. Food coming out of the kitchen was overcooked and very delayed. For the price point, wait, and the lackluster experience it was hard to justify.

Excellent asthetic with cool outdoor dining. Unique cocktails. One of the best restaraunts in the neighborhood. Special enough for a big occasion and casual enough to stop by.

As someone who recently moved to the Larchmere area, I have passed by Felice everyday on the way to work and was curious to try it out. We finally decided to check it out for date night and really enjoyed our experience! They have quite a bit of outdoor seating, with hanging twinkle lights that are perfect for a summer night. We ordered cocktails, apps, and entrees and were impressed by both the portions, and the quality of each aspect of our meal. I got the Reincarnation cocktail which was AMAZING -- super refreshing, hints of tea flavor, and didn't taste like alcohol at all (which is my type of drink). If you like more alcoholic/ classic drinks, the 1909 was a big hit with my friend. In terms of appetizers, I would definitely recommend their mussels -- they were the highlight of our night with the flavorful mussels in a thick sauce, combined with well-seasoned fries perfect for dipping. We also got the Asian eggplant which was pretty good, but a bit smaller than we had expected for the price. In terms of the entrees, we got the crispy chicken sandwich and Guatemalan chicken. I would say compared to the amazing cocktails and appetizers, the entrees were a bit lackluster in comparison. While I was happy with my crispy chicken sandwich, I felt that it was pretty average compared to others I've gotten around town, and that it didn't have the same "wow" factor as I had experienced during other parts of our meal. However, I do think their portions are quite generous and very filling. Overall, we had a great experience here, and definitely would like to come back to test out the other entrees and grab a drink, since we are confident that there is one that will blow us away as the cocktails and appetizers did!

We came here for a belated birthday celebration and loved it! It was warm so we sat out on the patio. Our server was fun and friendly, really helpful with recommendations. The drinks were delicious; a nice selection of mocktails as well. Food was great and plentiful. Lots of good people-watching. I will definitely come back.
