Went there for Mother's Day . Did not get our food for 2 hours . Drinks were not refilled unless we flagged down the server. Food was cold to warm. Nothing was hot Eggs were over done A lot of people walked out after waiting so long. Owner did not come around and apologize for the delays . No bus boys either tables were left dirty for a long time. Have gone there in the past but won't set foot in there again. Very unhappy about our visit there was 11 of us that day. Enjoyed my company but that was all !

We were there for Mothers Day. Terrible service ! Coffee and drinks were not refilled ! Waited 2 hours to get our food. Manager did not come around with coffee apologizing for delay. Many people walked out. Tables were never bused . Shame on you Beachcliff Tavern !

Started off fine with seating but the servers, bussers, and manager seemed to disappear. It took 30 minutes just to get our drinks and nearly an hour to get our food, which was not cooked. The server said there was a big party in the back that they had to focus on. They completely ignored their normal patrons and as I walked to the back the party was only 8 people..... Never going back to this awful place.

Today was Mother's Day and, like all eateries, many are overwhelmed. You may hear about comped drinks and slow service today, but this restaurant has been a part of Rocky River for a long time and it's had more successes and compliments than failures and negativity. Slow down, enjoy your occasion (whatever you may be celebrating) or just enjoy the company you're with. That's the whole point. If you need something, ask. Sometimes life gets complicated....it's all gonna be ok, trust me.

Easter Brunch was really good. First time there and pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere/ambiance. Definately more of a tavern than a pub, which I was expecting. The food was really good and plentiful, lots of choices. And the lamb was perfect. We were a party of 5 with a toddler. There were lots of people there all ages, but it did not seem crowed or loud. Everyone was friendly and the waitstaff were so nice. We were told they have brunch every Sunday so we will come back soon.

First, new ownership about 1 year. Second, the Server did not place our order correctly. We ordered 2 Perch Sandwiches; we ended up with 2 Perch Dinners, ($6.00/person more)!!! Plus she was not attentive to our table for further service (drinks, etc). Not sure if we will return. Last owners were much, much better and so was the food!

I went here with about 8 others for dinner and drinks. We were under the impression that it was a seat yourself place. We had someone from the staff come over and freak out that we were putting tables together. Fortunately, they did not make us move. The server we had was very nice. She also gladly did multiple checks. My rating is how poorly we were greeted.

Just went to brunch there! Food and Bloody Mary's were great! The bartender was very friendly!

Friendly staff, nice lighting, menu variety. I've had dinner in here a few times. I enjoy the atmosphere. You're able to have a conversation and not feel like you're shouting. There's also a decent amount of light for being a bar. I think the part I most have a hard time with is that it's a bar... charging $15 for a pasta dinner! I feel like the price range is competitive for Rocky River but on the high range for bar food

My neighborhood hangout. Best place in town to watch playoffs and weekend games. Good food with many varied selections from wraps to salads to burgers, past dishes, you name it. BEST FRENCH FRIES IN TOWN!!!! Yummers. Parking lot ( big plus in my book). They often have live music in the back and run specials; like clam bakes in the fall. Halloween party coming up. Hwayda at the bar is the BEST!!! Lots of locals but very welcoming. Easily accommodate large parties and you can rent them back room.
I may not have much experience eating at the resturant, but I can't speak highly enough of the banquet venue at Beachcliff Tavern. This past year, I researched multiple venues to host my ten year high school reunion. After visiting multiple venues and meeting the managers/owners of each establishment, I chose to go with Beachcliff Tavern. Chris, the new owner, was super accommodating towards meeting our class budget and our other limitations. The banquet appetizers (chicken fingers, bruschetta, wings, pizza, Swedish meatballs) were also delicious and perfect for a reunion. The venue was air conditioned, appropriately sized for 100 people, and had nice lighting (maroon since we are Rocky River alums). Our bartender was kind and quick when serving drinks. Overall, I would definitely consider Beachcliff Tavern for future events!

This place has gone to ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY THE HELL AWAY. I've been going to Beachcliff for EIGHT YEARS. It is under new ownership. I cant even say under new MANAGEMENT.....Chris...who apparently is the new boss, can't and won't say hello to repeat regulars. I go there...for ONE MAIN REASON. I ADORE the MAIN bartender...Wheyda. SHE is why 90% percent of your people come there. Not a washed up wanna be bartender. Or a tall tall brunette...who is RUDE.. and demands if you sit on the patio that you bring your glasses in along with you receipt to cash out!!!! Screw you! You know NOTHING about service to others...and its why you did 30 covers on a Friday night...Get off your phone!!! Be attentive! This place is CLEARLY pushing WHEYDA OUT. why?????? I'd rather pay double...and encounter a FRIENDLY BARTENDER....you will lose my business. And the word is OUT....so many people dislike Chris...they say he has NO CLUE what he's doing...and that he's driving people away! And that is TRUE PLUS HE'S PUSHING THE BEST PART OUT...WHEYDA. Go ahead Chris....push her out...she'll land on her feet...AND....take all of the business with her. Because she's SIMPLY THAT GOOD. YOU....MADDIE...DIANE....AND THE OTHER ONE can stay there....sweltering in a hot box...cause you can't even make enough money to turn the AC on! Good Riddens S*** CLIFF TAVERN. WHEYDA YOU ARE THE BEST....LOVE YOU

We used to get fish fries here at least twice a month. They were always so good. We tried one tonight and it was absolutely terrible. The perch was nothing like it used to be, The pierogies were crusty on the outside and rubbery on the inside, you could not cut them. When you picked 1 up to eat it it was like trying to pull hard taffy. Just awful. (I'm wondering if they were Mrs. T's pierogies and the cook didn't know how to cook them!) Coleslaw was bad. I understand there is new ownership at this restaurant. I suggest you step up your cooks and their cooking skills and quality of food or you won't be in business very long.

We have frequented this establishment quite often before new ownership took over a few months ago and always has exceptional service. Since the new owners took over the service is awful. We have been there twice since the new owners took over and both times had exceptionally poor service. The bar maid seemed clueless as to what drafts were available, she did not offer a menu nor check back with us. She did have plenty of time to talk with her friends,other employees and be on her cell phone.

Went there on a Friday night with a party of 12 and sat on the back patio. We ordered drinks and pizza. Our server was Diane she did a great making sure our drinks were full and we had everything we needed. The manager made the rounds to all the tables to check on the service.
