“Patron Saint is an exceptional choice for a relaxed Saturday brunch. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it an inviting place to unwind and enjoy a leisurely meal.

The coffee is outstanding — rich, aromatic, and clearly crafted with care. It pairs perfectly with their croissant, which is nothing short of amazing: flaky, buttery, and freshly baked to perfection.

Friendly, attentive, and efficient, the staff ensure you feel welcomed and well cared for

Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their weekend with quality coffee, excellent food, and top-tier hospitality.“

“The place has great food. I love the pool room. Very modern. They were very busy on a Friday night. We had to wait a bit for our food but that's to be expected when the place is busy. Worth the wait. Those wings were the best I ever had. We found a new place to go in Parma.“

“Return visits, and the food has been excellent, from pizza to the amazing buffalo chicken sandwich, to the salads, been very pleased.

Previously: Had the signature burger (Romanburger), not enough salami to come through the taste of the burger. Had the kielbasa grilled cheese, got 3 and a half thin slices of kielbasa, very little cheese and bun entirely covered in jalapenos. I want to like the place. Also, I emailed them about disliking my grilled cheese sandwich, no response“

“I tried this place for the first time and EVERYTHING was amazing!!! The decor when you walk in. I came on a Thursday and they have karaoke night ! I thought that was cool and I didn’t know this initially. I came for the restaurant/rooftop. We went upstairs and they had a good playlist of songs , the food was amazing !!!! Absolutely delicious. I order the fire roasted shrimp as appetizer and it was so good when the veggies !! Although it said fire it wasn’t hot at all. It was Made just right . I ordered the chicken and waffles as my entree . Chicken was cooked perfect and the hot honey syrup was good as well . We also order the BBW wings and fries which were good too. I tried the green apple slushy mixed with the peach one and added my choice of liquor ! Delicious!!! Our sever Tone was great ! I will definitely be back. It’s a LBGTQ restaurant and they have drag brunch on Sundays ! I’ll be going to check it out . I’ve always wanted to go to one and now I do ??“

“Thursday comedy w/ Bill Squire is a blast 😃👍 (8pm)“

“A must-visit in Cleveland, OH! 🎃 This Halloween-themed restaurant is packed with incredible décor and delicious food. The Western Burger was perfectly balanced with crispy fried onion rings, and my partner said the BLT was one of the best they’ve ever had. Service was a bit inconsistent—one staff member overlooked us, but another was attentive and kept our beers full. Overall, a memorable stop worth checking out!“

“ABC Tavern is awesome, Im a huge fan and often end up there for a late night snack. Their fries are, in my opinion, perfect. Exactly what you want in a fry. Their food i reasonably priced and well portioned. I always leave satisfied. The specials are interesting and usually very good too.

The service is always good, the bartenders are great, attentive, and take care of you. I have literally never asked for a refill on a water, they fill it multiple times before its empty. Which is one of my criteria for how good service is.

The vibes are also great. They play good music. Love the dollar bill wall behind the bar lol. And the types of people who go to town hall generally arent here, which is a big feature. I highly recommend this place.“
