“Really nice place, not purely a Pho place, seafood boil, and other Asian specialties.“

“Owen P waited on us. This was easily the best overall service and experience we have had at any dining establishment in a long long time! We took two of our grandchildren out to dinner and give them the special treatment. This was such a wonderful experience and a great success! Owen deserves much of the credit for this. He went above and beyond and treated the kids like royalty! This guy deserves high praise for his efforts! Thank you.“

“We have enjoyed Delmonico’s twice now and they do not disappoint! Exquisite Dining! Absolutely delectable dishes! The Lobster Bisque is made with love and the feature, Japanese Wagyu was absolutely divine! We ordered the Béarnaise sauce but the steak did not need it at all! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a divine cuisine! Definitely recommend! I wish we lived closer!“

“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.“

“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! 👍“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“SMOKIN GEMINIS 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 Phenomenal 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“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!“

“best place in Cleveland“

“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…“

“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 opted for the mix seasoning boil and loved every minute of it. The service was also top of the line and I really just can’t wait to come back when we’re in town! 😀“

“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“

“5 star review The DAOU February Wine Dinner at Carrabba’s was nothing short of a culinary and sensory triumph. This was not simply a themed dinner. It was a carefully curated tasting journey, thoughtfully composed from first course to final pour, executed with remarkable precision and heart. The evening opened with the Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini, a deceptively elegant starter that set the tone immediately. The whipped honey ricotta and goat cheese delivered a creamy, tangy foundation, beautifully balanced by the brightness of strawberry and the depth of balsamic glaze. The basil chiffonade added a subtle herbal lift, keeping the dish light, fresh, and refined. It was a perfectly calibrated opening note. Course two, the Tuscan Strawberry Salad with Shrimp, showcased exceptional balance and restraint. The strawberries were ripe and vibrant, offering natural sweetness against the savory depth of wood-grilled shrimp. The strawberry vinaigrette tied everything together with precision, while gorgonzola added just enough richness and complexity without overpowering the plate. Paired with the DAOU Rosé, this course was refreshingly sophisticated and brilliantly composed. The Garlic Lemon Herb Linguine with Grilled Chicken marked a beautiful transition into richer territory. The “Liquid Gold” sauce lived up to its name, coating each strand of pasta with silky depth while remaining remarkably clean on the palate. Bright citrus notes cut through the richness, and the grilled chicken was juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned. This course demonstrated technical control and thoughtful layering of flavor, elevated further by the Sauvignon Blanc pairing. The centerpiece of the evening was undoubtedly the Filet with Crab and Shrimp Crocchetta. The filet was cooked with impressive accuracy, tender and deeply flavorful, with a beautifully charred exterior. The crispy crocchetta added textural contrast and indulgent seafood richness, while the roasted red pepper sauce brought subtle sweetness and acidity. The supporting elements, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, were executed flawlessly and grounded the dish. Paired with the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon, this course was bold, luxurious, and immensely satisfying. Dessert, the Strawberry Sogno, was a masterful finale. Layers of dense chocolate brownie, airy mousse, and strawberry cream created a balanced interplay of richness and brightness. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were indulgent without becoming heavy. The Pessimist Red Blend pairing amplified the cocoa notes while enhancing the fruit components, closing the experience on a high, memorable note. Throughout the evening, the pacing was impeccable. Each course arrived at exactly the right moment, allowing guests to fully appreciate every pairing and transition. The experience felt intentional, immersive, and expertly orchestrated. A special recognition goes to Laura and Crystal, whose service elevated the entire night. Their knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made the experience feel personal and seamless. They anticipated needs, explained pairings with confidence, and created an atmosphere of comfort and refinement that complemented the cuisine perfectly. This dinner delivered the sophistication of a boutique winery tasting combined with the warmth and consistency Carrabba’s is known for. For the price point, the value was extraordinary. The quality, execution, and overall experience far exceeded expectations. This was not just a great meal. It was a thoughtfully designed culinary event that demonstrated respect for ingredients, technique, and the guest experience. An outstanding achievement. I would return without hesitation.“

“What a wonderful experience to eat breakfast outside on this freezing winter day! The patio was heated very nicely and our waiter was very attentive. The food and drinks were perfect portions and delicious. No complaints, can't wait to visit again!“

“We were in Cleveland on Friday, coming from Milwaukee area. Our server, AJ was outstanding! He was very welcoming, fun to be around, & gave us great service. Steaks were great too. We all felt very worth our stop, especially be made to feel right at home by AJ.“

“We saw this restaurant recommended on Instagram. It did NIT disappoint!! The staff was super friendly, food was awesome but that margarita that looks like ice cream (but is not) is out of this world!!! We will be back!!!“

“We had the soup, Lamb Haneeth, the Chicken Zambian, and a side of Tandoor, as well as a Yemeni Tea. The lamb was very tender, chicken flavor was good, and the spice mixture with the rice and vegetables was very good! The tandoor was delicious and the dip it came with was spicy and fresh. Loved the Yemeni Tea and the soup.“

“This was our first ever visit to Bourbon Street Barrel Room (BSBR). I was surprised to find out they have been in business 10 years. Excellent New Orleans style food and service.“

“The food and service were great and can’t be being on the water!“

“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“

“Shaker- Miss Tanisha! She was awesome , she was so friendly and welcoming! She mad me and my sister feel at home and like we’ve known her forever! She knew every single item on that menu and her suggestions were out of sight! Love her energy! Thank you Miss Tanisha 💙 Our food was out immediately and tasted GREAT. Collards and artichoke dip 10/10 Fried pork chops 10/10 Honey chicken 10/10“

“Outstanding Food and service will keep you coming 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.“

“Great food! Jalapeño burrito is where it’s at“

“I typically never miss when I go here. My choice is the Red Snapper everytime. When I tell you I dont know who made my food this evening but it was made with so much love. Seasoning...on point. Texture...on point. Food temp...on point. Service...quickest in the city...on point...and with a smile! Keeps me coming back! A+ Sharks, nobody tells you all when you do a good job so, just wanted you all to know!❤️“

“This place is somewhat new to the area and have been wanting to try it out. Went on a Tuesday and was very impressed. Had a taste for sushi and we enjoyed all of our choices. Ordered a few appetizers first and they were also very good. We were watching the group at the hibachi table and want to come back at some point cause that looked like fun. The waitresses were also very friendly. Will definitely come back.“

“This is one of my new favorites in the Cleveland Area of the only place I visited in a long time that gives you 2 Nice Sized Pieces of Catfish, 4 hush puppies, Coleslaw and FRESH CUT edible FRIES all for one price. I have been here 5 times and they have am Amazing Chicken Philly Sandwich these both items are seasoned to perfection and not to salty like most places you can barely tolerate the heavy seasonings from something who has to watch their salt intake. Jumbo Chicken Rolls are a most have my family love those as well! Most places I have to toss my food. Customer Service is always friendly and patient staff is always with a good attitude fast service and clean location. Compliments to the chef staff and the great owner!!! Glad this business exists.“

“I like it. It is like a Chip-Pot-ul prolly a little better prolly just as expensive. Good selection of tasty food, it seems like there is much customization but I got the honey chicken that might not be there again. I was told for now it was temporary.The one I went to was more polite than any Chip-Pot-ul I've been to not that they were bad but not all that happy to see another customer.“

“This place never disappoints. Food options, pricing, taste, portions, and drinks are all on par and what would be expected. Service has always been great with food arriving fast and hot and servers checking in on occasion to see if you need anything.“

“I'm giving them a 5☆ only because the prices fit my budget as far as the fresh meats. The kitchen has changed since I first started eating there. The last couple of times I ordered perch and I got orange roughy which was a little dry a better fish but I had my taste for ocean perch everyone that works there is very friendly always greet you with a smile.“

“The welcome and clean atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting. The young man that served and took our order was pleasant and knowledgeable. He was engaging and confirmed our order. His interaction with guests and management was enjoyable. The food was tasty and sauces were flavorful. Thank you for a great first experience!“

“Great staff and great food. Being born and raised in New Bedford, MA. This was the best seafood I have found in Ohio.“

“Delicious! And a nice variety to choose from; food, smoothies, and bubble teas!“

“I had heard about this place on one of my gluten free pages, and was excited to try it. With a gluten allergy & highly sensitive to MSG, I made sure to call first and make sure they offered true gluten free items and that they didn’t use MSG. I spoke to the woman who answered the phone for awhile. I asked her all kinds of questions about the food & explained my allergies. I believe the woman I spoke with is the owner. She was extremely kind & helpful, and extremely accommodating. She told me she is also GF & highly sensitive to MSG. We chatted for a bit and she made some meal suggestions, and was happy to customize things. I got to the restaurant and she was just as kind and welcoming in person! We chatted a bit more and then I went home to enjoy my food. And I will say that the food was delicious!😋 It was so nice to finally be able to enjoy Chinese food again and not have to worry about getting extremely sick doing. Fantastic customer service & delicious food!! This will be my new “ go-to” spot!! Thank you for being so helpful & thank you for offering safe food options! You have a customer for life now!!“

“Went on Sunday with my mom and husband and Adam was our server. We were immediately seated. Adam was quick and very attentive. We ordered Prime Rib, Delmonico and burger. I ordered the half chicken to go and mushrooms as an appetizer. Everything was delicious and for the price you can't beat it. The restaurant was clean and nice on the inside and what made the visit awesome was over the server. Adam as wonderful and kept our drinks full at times. You get the value for the meals provided. It's so nice to have an establishment like this as they are long gone. I also loved the fact that we all ordered salad and we got a family style serving where we served ourselves from the salad bowl. Thank you for a wonderful meal and the experience. It was our first time going and will be back.“

“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.“

“Food and service was great BUT

and this is a BIG BUT
The parking lot needs attention. I was walking back to my car and the heel of my shoe got sucked into a small DEEP pothole and I fell and scraped bruised my knee really bad. I have included pictures of the location of the people eating hole. Avoid parking in front of the tree.

Would I visit again? Definitely. Food and service were great. I won't park where I parked again.“

“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! ?“

“I’m writing this review and I aint even get the check yet lol this food surprised me and exceeded my expectations easily. The food was delicious, flavorful and really fresh. Surprisingly fresh. The Marty gras empanadas are the highlight. I don’t really mess with cheese or seafood but daaaamn they did they thing. I got the Turkey rib dinner, fuggin phenomenal and packed with good. The cocktails are really good and have a Nola kick to em lol . I also got cornbread, red beans and rice and the bourbon street smashed. I’m lowkey smashed .

I don’t understand why it’s empty in a Sunday night but I don’t care. I got Turkey ribs again, my date had the catfish dinner and she scraped the bowl haha. The cocktails are pricey but you’ll taste why. I got the French quarter fizz and was speaking creole by the time I finished . Peep the photos.“
