Restaurants near Gates Mills

“Walk in the door and you will be greeted by the most friendly barista you will ever meet. Delicious pastries, sandwiches, soups and salads. A quiet place to unwind and have a coffee, cappuccino, or lunch. This place is 5 star.”

“Very nice resteraunt in the heart of Gates Mills. We had two very solid cocktails, the navy bean soup and Thai Lemengrass pot stickers to start. All solid. For mains, we ordered the blackened grouper special with mustard sauce and a center cut steak. Both were specials and came with string beans and mashed potatoes. Beans were cooked to perfection, mashed potatoes were really good, steak was super tender and tasty, and the Grouper filet was really big and broiled perfectly. We tried the lemon marcapone cake and it was also very good.”

“Love the subs would highly recommend them!”

“We drive from Madison to visit this Geraci's location. The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing. The homemade Geraci's sauce with pasta and a slice of pizza is always my go to. The price is very reasonable, especially compared other Italian restaurants.”

“Edit:NVM, they tried to reinvent the wheel...
Now the food is atrocious and costs more than it should.

This place isn't reinventing the wheel but sometimes you just want a place where you know the food is consistent and tastes the same every time you order it.”

“The food was amazing again tonight. This is the second time since they've opened I've been and it got even better. What great food, great staff, and great atmosphere. I have a special place in my heart for Korean BBQ and this is among the best I've ever had. If you've never tried it, trust the wait staff to point you to the best stuff on the menu. I'll be going back again soon.”

“Pretty solid pizza and real cannolis can’t beat it”

“The food is delicious… that being said, what happened to your miso soup? I went today and it was just a sad, watered-down broth without any tofu or seaweed. It used to be so good!”

“We started coming when the Mentor store first opened we’ve been here every weekend sense. The people and food keep us coming back”

“Wow! What an absolutely wonderful place to celebrate our 25th anniversary! The staff was so kind, especially Michael and Genevieve!!!!! Loved talking with both of them! The food here is incredible and very creative. Every single thing on your plate serves a purpose to the overall taste. Superb wine selection as well! We also loved its overall ambience and elegance. Hope to return someday!!!”

“I love their napkins. I wish there were a star rating for napkins. And with a little bit of Smoky Mountain BBQ sauce on them. Mmm. I could eat them all day long.

EDIT: I was recently told to try their food as well, so I did. Wow. That was at least 10,000 times better than the napkins. I should do that more often. Delicious.”

“Great place to bring the family.”

“Went there for the first time last Friday. Person who served us was very friendly. So was the manager who came over and helped us when they accidentally served my wife onions. Fixed it right away. They make a stew that is really great. We'll go back again for more of it. Definitely we'll be back.”

“I love this location but at certain times of the day. During the day the customer service is on point!!! But evening / night it’s trash. The younger employees be needing home training before they get a job because their customer service sucks. But anywho during the day, I love this location and the cookies!”

“Expensive but yummy.
Update 4/3/25 - Your cookies would be great with a scoop of Handel's Ice Cream on top. It's a good thing that they are next door.”

“possibly the best thing to come out of the state of ohio. i bring all my friends here when they come to visit. incredibly fresh and flavorful. you have to try the pita it comes right out of the oven”

“Great find! Would never have guessed a gem in a little strip mall. Super clean and tastefully decorated. (I am bias to Roosters however) Top notch service! The place was hopping and the staff stayed on top of it. Chefs super friendly and thanked us for coming. Food was promptly brought out hot, coffee cup was never empty. Great selection of breakfast items, we wanted to try everything! Reasonably priced! Highly recommend! Please support local establishments like The Sleepy Rooster!”

“It is exactly what it says it is. A great dive bar. Friendly, nicely lit for a bar. great food, friendly patrons, great prices, did I mention great food.”

“Catering for Our Film crew was Perfect after a long day on Set!! Every dish was a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions, fresh, high-quality ingredients. The classic combination of ingredients was a snapshot of what Italian cuisine is all about. The Lemon Chicken, Peppers, Meatballs, Pasta and Salad were Perfection .... the team loved everything!”

“First time! Excited! Heard nothing but compliments. The restaurant had many open seats. We enter and a person of upper management looked up and punched in something and then directed the server. The server, under direction took us to the worst place in the restaurant. My prayer was that it wasn’t because we were a family of color. I tried hard to disregard the thought as we were directed to sit outside the kitchen door. :—/. I was getting away from the kitchen. That was the last place I wanted to celebrate our special occasion. I asked for a different place in the restaurant that was housing one other visible couple. She was very happy to oblige us. When a restaurant is full, I can understand…. But this was far from the case. The server was 5STAR ! Food 5STAR ! I will definitely try it again with hopes that it was a mistake on the management part. My hopes…”

“We had put in a order to go. When we got home we noticed that the chips were missing. Not only did they get us our chips, they have us more queso and chips. That's fantastic customer service.”
