“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

Western Reserve Distillers Distilleries •

“WRD was truly a fantastic experience. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted and seated, we did get a reservation because it was Valentines day, but people next to us didn't and got seated pretty quickly on a Saturday. As soon as we were seated menus hit the table and waters were on the table before our server was there to tell us the specials. They have a happy hour everyday that they are open which included ¢0.50 wings that was fantastic. We spilt the burger and fried chicken sandwich, both were seasoned and cooked well. The vibes were casual, warm, and clean! Also, I got the Moscow Mule ($8 during happy hour) which comes with their own vodka and its was delicious. I don't drink a lot, but if I do I enjoy vodkas. I can truly say this is the best vodka I have had. I will buy a bottle when I host a party. This was our first time here and we will become regulars. We are going back in a couple weekends with family before seeing a show.

Also parking lot in the back that is big for Lakewood!!!“

Just need to be more crispy but maybe you can ask upon a request. But overall very good place for food and service was great.“
