“The food an service is excellent. We both had steak and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had. The waitress was exceptional. It was our birthday and at the end of our dinner she brought us both a peice of cake . I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“What a treat! Anytime I have been to Pier W I feel spoiled. Took my mom and her 3 friends for her 89th Birthday and they all loved it!! We will definitely be back for her 90th! Thank you.“

“Starting with the Blue Point Oysters, they were exceptionally fresh and paired beautifully with the cabernet mignonette and cocktail sauce. The balance of flavors made for a light and refreshing start to the meal. Moving on to the Lobster Mashed Potatoes, they were rich, creamy, and indulgent, though slightly heavy. The lobster pieces were generous, but I found the dish could use a touch more seasoning to enhance the lobster’s natural sweetness. The Pan Roasted Striped Bass was well-cooked, with a crispy exterior and a moist, flaky interior. It was paired nicely with simple yet flavorful sides, though the seasoning was a bit inconsistent. A minor critique would be that the flavors, while balanced, didn’t stand out as much as I expected from a dish at this price point. Lastly, the Crispy Brussels Sprouts were a delightful surprise, with a perfect crunch and a slightly sweet glaze that contrasted well with the vegetable’s natural bitterness. This dish added a nice variety of texture to the meal. Overall, the quality of the seafood was undeniable, but a little more attention to seasoning and consistency in the dishes could elevate the experience. However, the ambiance and service certainly made up for these small flaws, making it a great place for a special occasion“

“Absolutely love doing our celebrations at LockKeepers! We've celebrated our Birthdays and anniversaries here through the years and it was always such a wonderful experience each time! Jackie was the best server! She really took good care of us and made sure we were happy during and after our meals. She's absolutely the best server one can ever hope for! We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“We were in town for the weekend and had the opportunity to share dinner with friends local to the area. Our evening was relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. Everyone's food and drink was found on point and perfect. We will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant upon our next visit. Thank you all!“

“We took our son for his 18th birthday and they really made it special! The food was fantastic! Our server was impeccable and birthday message and puff pastries was the perfect touch! Thank you for such an amazing experience!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered the 6-piece wing dinner with a side of spaghetti and greens, plus a Polish Boy with fries, BBQ sauce, and coleslaw on top. The wings were fried to perfection — crispy and seasoned well. The spaghetti tasted fresh with a nice pasta sauce, and the greens had a good mix of flavors, definitely homemade. The Polish Boy was solid too, just could’ve used a bit more coleslaw to balance everything out.

Customer service is a work in progress, but to be fair, it looks like it’s just one guy handling everything. Respect to him for holding it down. I’ll definitely be back to try more.“

“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…“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zanzibar Soul Fusion is soul food heaven! The turkey chops are tender, juicy, and full of flavor of salmon bites, and fried cabbage, and the collard greens taste like home. The vibe is warm, the music is on point, and the service makes you feel like family. Every bite hits—this place is a must-visit!“

“Our server was excellent. I would recommend increasing the lighting at the tables, to read the menu we had to use our phone . The good was good but prices are a bit much .“

“best place in Cleveland“

“The countertop is a boat how cute.
Great food. Chicken and fries fried hard with sauce 10/10.
Fish polish boys. Footlong hot dogs with extra chilli. Shrimp scampi. Fried shrimp. Just the greatest. I buy everything when I go just so I can taste it all. They have cakes and drinks available. Man love the sauce. Nice lady nice man great owner“

“Extremely disappointed. I used UberEats to have my selection delivered to me. I had my heart set on and was looking forward to trying the food (especially the eggs, bacon and has browns).The order went from being prepared to locating a driver, to a driver picking it up and then cancelled. It is a good thing I could quickly fix something to eat. Still pretty disappointed, I didn't get a chance to try the food.Edit :I gave them another try. This experience was much much better. No issues with ordering or delivery(The driver did not cancel unlike last time) and the food was delicious.Thank you also for responding. I'm glad to change the rating to 5 stars. Thank you.“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“While visiting Cleveland we really wanted good seafood and this place was exactly what we were looking for! Loved the atmosphere and the crab was cooked perfectly.

“I stopped on Titos night Dec 18/24. First time there.. I'm a white guy. I was the only white guy there. The vibe was unbelievable. I felt so comfortable and at ease. Everyone was so down to earth. It felt like a Saturday night. The food was fantastic. Bartenders were absolutely gorgeous and the service was top notch. Second to none!!!! The women that were there were absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to come back. ♥️“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“If you love mexican food Kalaveras is worth the drive. First time went to Sunday brunch delicious. Had to go back and try lunch. Fabulous. The decor is awesome, friendly staff, delicious food and great prices. I'll be back.“

“Our first time at Bubbakoo's - we chose the Broadview Heights locaiton - was stellar from start to finish. We weren't familiar with the menu at all and the person putting our bowls together was really helpful and even suggested pairings and offered to let us take as many sauces home on the side so we could try different ones and see which we liked best. Everyone on staff that day was kind and welcoming and gave us exactly what we asked for.

We went to the South Euclid location a couple weeks later because we wanted to try some different stuff and the experience was exactly the opposite. Very cold, not friendly, not very welcoming, a lot of sighing when we asked questions, and they wanted to upcharge for every sauce we wanted on the side.

We won't be back to the South Euclid location, but we'll definitely return to Broadview Heights so long as the vibe remains as good as it was on our first visit.“

“Went here for a causal dinner tonight and was very happy. I had the massaman curry with tofu, medium spicy, and the flavors were great. Service was fast and the food was served piping hot. I also liked that the tofu was in smaller chunks and didn’t taste oily or greasy. It came with the perfect portion of rice, and we ate in the bar next door. I’ll definitely be working Cilantro Thai into my takeout rotation!“

“Oh my goodness! So hot, fresh and good!!! Love their fish and chips. I grew up eating this and it’s so good. Anytime we come to Cuyahoga Falls we stop and get this. Amazing food. Brings back childhood memories. It was down the street in Barberton growing up and we had it often.“

“Let me tell you! I had a taste for seafood. I researched, googled, Facebooked and Shark's kept coming up online and thru suggestions. Drove over during rush hour. My car smelled so good! Had a walleye sammich and shrimp! The fish, fries, the shrimp... OMG everything was good even the cole slaw. I called ahead and order was ready on time. Even gave me extra lemons like i asked. Decent price. Very clean establishment. Parking is right out front. I was in and out in minutes! Very pleased all way around😋“

“They get Mexican food right! I've visited many Mexican and Latin restaurants in the greater Cleveland area. I've been disappointed most of the time. I wish this one was much closer to home. It was so good I would be a regular if I lived nearby. I certainly will stop there when I'm in Parma. I try the tacos at every place I go as a standard. I don't know why the beef never tastes right. To be fair, I moved here from Los Angeles which has the best tacos in North America. I've been in search of a really good place. I had the steak street tacos. This restaurant nailed them perfectly. The flavor of the steak was delicious. All of the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The servings were plentiful. I should add that the service was excellent. Those guys really made me feel at home. Hope to be back soon.“

“I went extremely pregnant and I was helped immensely. Of course my baby wanted the catfish dinner. I am glad they had a side that was veggie (green peas) but it was super bland. Could have been cooked with garlic and butter . The catfish was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! They do it the southern style with cornmeal. I asked for the less sodium option. Bone in so you know it was real and fresh. I was able to get goat meat, porgy and salmon here too. Wait the $10 bag of abt 20 pieces of chicken quarters 🫡🫡🫡 . Everyone is super sweet and helpful. Location it’s a bit out there but well worth the trip!“

“Awesome decor, super thoughtful & helpful service, delicious food!“

“I have been going there for 10 years or more and I love the food there. Everyone is friendly, I get many dishes there and I am always satisfied. I love the Teriyaki Chicken and the General Tso Chicken, Egg Rolls, Chicken Wings with fried rice etc.. I get the luncheon special, A very good place to eat. Delicious, I love it.😋😋😋 Ms. AD“

“My fiance and I visited for the first time tonight! What a lovely experience. The service was impressive from the phone to pickup. Jenny was so friendly and was genuinely interested in making conversation about the local area when we asked questions pertaining to downtown Brecksville. She gave us lots of great recs. The food was delicious and we will definitely be ordering here again.“

“Comfort Cle Is My Favorite Spot To Go To When I’m Craving Some Good Eats! My Favorite Is Their Chicken And Fries, Which Are Always Cooked To Perfection. I Pair My Meal With The Signature Lemon Aide Drink They Offer, It’s Not Only Natural, Healthy, But Also Delicious. I Promise You Won’t Get An Experience Like This Anywhere Else Around Cleveland. The Atmosphere Is Always Beautiful, Friendly, And Welcoming. Dan Is The Best He Not Only Offers Great Customer Service Skills But He Also Knows Hospitality! Go Comfort CLE“

“I went here to enjoy a night out with staff and it was the perfect little bar that we needed. The staff was so friendly and great listeners. I ordered a tequila sunrise and a prime rib philly steak sub with fries and mozzarella sticks. I absolutely loved both! The mozzarella sticks are topped with parmesan cheese and were cooked just right. This is a great place for a quick bite to eat and drink. The Dj was also full of life and was very entertaining ? Thank you! ?“

“Fahrenheit was a great experience. Our server was very good and attentive. Our food was excellent, but the tomato salad could use some attention, otherwise the food was delicious. Definitely a special occasion place, but also great for a good bite on a week night!“
