“was there last Saturday had the best fish fry n pierogi dinner... excellent server and the food was not greasy at all ..I had haddock and pierogi's..the coleslaw was very fresh n tasty as well...I highly recommend the fish fry!! definitely 5 stars*“

“We had the BEST time at Pier W! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Nick was absolutely amazing — his attention to detail and friendly vibe made the whole experience even more special. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. The food was phenomenal, the service was top-notch, and the entire night felt magical. Thank you for making it unforgettable!“

“Stopped in at the request of my granddaughter; she loves it there! The service was great as well as the atmosphere . But what got me was their Chicken Paprikash!! I gave it a 10 outta 10!! Going back for more today! 👍🏽💞👍🏽💋“

“The chicken noodle soup is absolutely the gold standard. The senior large menu makes it easy because the full menu is so extensive that it is difficult to make a choice.“

“Great food and wonderful hospitality. The drinks are amazing“

“Just attended a Silent Reading here and while I only had the pie it was DELICIOUS and thanks to Sean D for giving my friend and I such great service! He was funny and personable and very attentive and it made our night just that much better.“

“Hosted a Rehearsal Dinner at Summer Place and it was AMAZING! The food was awesome, the staff were very professional and courteous. George specifically was a great waiter! Everyone in attendance had a fabulous time. Well done! Highly recommend and the view…PRICELESS“

“I'm from Northeast Ohio and live roughly 25 miles away from WRD. Here's my confession... I'm kinda an experienced bourbon snob but have never visited WRD. I'm writing this very positive review because for awhile I've enjoyed WRD's bourbons (particularly their single barrel), as well as their tequilas. For me, WRD single barrel bourbon, sipped as neat is a pleasure; it carries a smooth / calm profile with just a touch of burn at the end. I'll stack it against any Kentucky bourbon with the same age profile. I also think that it being double distilled makes a difference in taste, and having it sourced with organic ingredients is a great plus. Can't wait to make a pilgrimage to WMD and hopefully get a chance to meet the owners.“

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️“

“After reading a lot of recent bad reviews I was hesitant to go but my partner and I decided to try it anyways. We got the perogies as an appetizer and they were so delicious! Then I got the chicken paprikash and my partner had the cheese steak sandwich. We both loved our meals! The atmosphere was bar scene but laid back. I know some people had made complaints about wait staff, and I can see where they are coming from. This isn’t Chick-fil-A. These are people and I don’t need them to smile or make small talk to have a good dinner. Keep up the great work! We both said we would come back again🙂“

“Very nice place! The burger was delicious! The only complaint is the parking. Thankfully we went on a Tuesday afternoon so it wasn’t busy but I couldn’t imagine trying to find parking when it’s busy. Even with parking I will definitely be back. Our server was very nice :)“

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!“

“This is a great place to catch a show! Intimate venue and the acoustics were great! I definitely would see another concert there!“

“I was ordering the hard shell beef tacos on door dash and everytime they were outstanding..Last time I went to order it it's gone..they only have the chicken soft shell..I hope they put back on the other ones..Kelly and champ are so cool and great cook's“

“Ryan is AMAZING! he makes the best drinks and is always here and always working so hard. I'm always so happy when he's our bartender :)He works bar and kitchen which is super impressive. Get his food and drinks. You won't be “

“We are from Jersey and came in to just have a beer. So glad we stayed for the food! The wings are amazing, chopped cheese sandwich was outstanding. What a great flavor on the fries. I loved my Buffalo bowl. The service was outstanding!!! I highly recommend!“

“Place is great! The comedy show last night was packed and featured a lot of talented comics. Love the patio too!“

“The Rush is sort of the quintessential fun and welcoming neighborhood bar/restaurant. It's a good place for an affordable meal and some drinks during game, a casual meet up, or a dinner before a show.You can choose bar or booth seating on the bar side or the restaurant side which has larger booths and is separated from the bar by a dividing wall. The staff is always very friendly, fast, and helpful. There are TVs on both sides usually tuned to the Cavs, Guardians, or Browns games depending on the season. The fish fry and potato pancakes are excellent and the soups and chili are on point. Fried items will sometimes take a while during peak times though, so if you plan on seeing a show at the Beck Center make sure you arrive well before your showtime.

The bar side atmosphere is very casual and relaxed, the drinks are good, and the bartenders are attentive and friendly. There's a mix of domestic and smaller independent breweries on tap usually including a cider, which I like and the environment is just generally welcoming. The booths and taps are always very clean, and while the decor is absolutely the most generic thing you have ever imagined, it is well kept. Now while some more cultured people like to have drinks in a more modern bar, underneath some strange hanging light that looks like a nipple, standing next to a life size plastic penguin that's been spray painted gold, I actually appreciate the classic bar/diner environment and that's why the Rush Inn is my local go to bar.“

“Let's start with the positive, the hostess was lovely!
We had sat on the patio which was hopping but still had plenty of tables.
The patio is absolutely beautiful.
Although it can be very loud from street noise more than anything.
We are given a bottle of water for the table immediately from a second hostess.
Now that bottle was almost empty by the time our server came. Pleasant and kind she took our small plate & cocktail order.
The cocktails were out fairly soon. The shareable app not so much. It took her quite a bit of time to acknowledge us again. I'm assuming there's a lack of servers! Empty glasses of water, nobody to flag down for another bottle.
It was 40 minutes before we got our cheeseboard!
We asked for another bottle of water & that took a bit of time.
We all ordered our meals that came out one at a time.
We had to flag someone else down because a salad (that we thought would come before the meal) was missing.
Now she goes back inside comes back out and tells us they did not put it in and she was very apologetic and said the salad would be on the house!
I guess when you get a salad on the house, you get the bottom of the bag🥴
Picture added.
The table was overloaded with glasses, plates, water bottles etc..
A fresh cocktail was knocked over on the table and went everywhere on two people at the table.
Not one busser, server or any employee came to assist that maybe we needed anything like napkins or maybe clear the table of a mess.
Although we had a lovely time and considering we all have been here before, the food was good but not the usual flavorful perfected dishes that we had expected.
Would I recommend Georgetown/Vosh ?
Yes, I would.
I believe that sometimes it's just an off day and things don't run right from the front of the house to the back and in the kitchen.“

“We ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME @ The Christmas Corner Bar!! Loved the Raspberry Rudolph’s!“
