“Best Thai by a landslide.
I have had the Pad Thai noodles level 10 heat and the curry chicken white heat.
The Curry chicken was amazing as if it were prepared in a $1000 French restaurant in Paris.
The Pad Thai noodles were awesome with just the right amount heat.

“The food here is amazing, delicious, and healthy. The service is excellent. They really take the time to make you feel at ease and they give you the friendliest service. One particular staff member, a tall gentleman was very kind and asked how I liked the food, took the time to tell me my options when I was ordering, and offered to put my tray away when I was done eating. Now that’s service! Service in most places have not been satisfactory lately as the food service industry slowly picks back up from a type of recession. But the customer care and service here is above and beyond.“

“Love this Panera location! The staff is friendly and my online orders are always completed quickly and accurately. Mid day is extremely busy - but the app and ordering ahead makes it an easy lunch option for me during the week. Also would like to thank Martha for her hard work and for always being so caring at the counter!“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time today. It is conveniently located a block from my office, so I walked there, but there is on-site parking. It has a hip, modern, cozy vibe. I had the Bohanon Boy sandwich, fries, and peanut butter banana smoothie, which were all delicious! I will definitely be back!“

I’ve been here twice, man listen the Vegan Philly Cheesesteak sandwich will have you at this lady’s restaurant everyday. I also tried the vegan Patty Melt ?.

I don’t know what magic seasoning she put on em, but I’m hooked ?. Trust me when I say the food does not disappoint. Thank me later! The owner is a sweet lady, customer service is top tier.

“One of my favorite restaurants in Ohio City. I love that they keep the menu small to me that’s a sign that everything’s good. Small menus mean fantastic food because they have time to master the skills to continue creating the meal. The bar tender was great drinks were really good and well made. Our waitlist was awesome, hostess was pleasant. You can tell they have a great working relationship.“

Thank you for making it unforgettable!“

“This is my new favorite place for lunch! Start with a pita or bowl of rice, lentils, and greens and add chicken, beef, or falafel. Top with pickled cukes and beets, and add roasted red pepper sauce or others. Next choose from roasted carrots, eggplant, an cauliflower. A well balanced healthy lunch.“

“I live about 90 min from Cleveland, and my 8 year old has been begging me to take him somewhere to try bubble tea for weeks now. We were in Cleveland for the night, and Balance was close to where we were staying so I decided to give it a try. The girl working at the counter was AMAZING! She was so helpful and super interactive with my son, literally mirroring his excitement. I know this is something small, but I have worked in the service industry and I know how infrequent it is to get positive feedback. I’m sorry I didn’t catch the girl’s name (she was tall with long blonde hair), but she was fantastic and really made us feel welcome. The restaurant was also super clean and all the employees were working hard.“

“Like any other Mitchell's, the store did not disappoint. The service was good with a friendly atmosphere about it, and the ice cream is top-tier as one would expect. Claire, our server, did an excellent job.

Vegetarian options: It's an ice cream shop; everything is vegetarian, and several ice creams are vegan.

Parking: So far as I can tell, parking is free (it was for us), but I'm not sure if it's always the case or only for Sundays.“

“Great place!!! Lots to do and always hosting a variety of events for adults and kids!!“

“Grumpy's Cafe has a lot to offer! The atmosphere is truly fantastic—I absolutely love the local artwork, which adds so much character and charm to the space.

As for the food, the flavors were great, and it had the potential to be a five-star meal. However, having the cheese on top instead of inside the omelette caused all the toppings to fall out, making it a bit messy to eat. A small adjustment could make a big difference!

Service was where things fell a bit short. We weren’t offered refills, and at one point, the server attempted to take my plate while I was still actively eating. A little more attentiveness would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience.

Overall, Grumpy’s has a wonderful atmosphere, good food, and a lot of potential for an even better experience with a few tweaks.“

“I had the Matcha Bubble tea and the TK1, Tom Yum Shrimp Noodle Soup this time. Wow, simply amazing flavor experience. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
