“Incredible!!! Forno catered my wedding and we had requested Mediterranean food. The first tasting was amazing and delicious but the actual wedding day was next level! My family members are still raving about how tasty and elegant the food was. We are still craving the orzo ?. Whatever your vision is, Forno will fulfill it!!!!“

“great food great service ty“

“Such an amazing restaurant! Craig, our bartender was so engaging and kept us laughing all afternoon! He also told us so many cool tidbits about the restaurant (e.g., the custom made chandelier in the background of my pic weighs 1,900 pounds and made out of metal nuts, ya know, like nuts and bolts, and is titled “The World is Nuts”). Now, let’s talk menu! The food is so delicious and the menu has so many options! The food is all freshly prepared, no frozen pre-packaged ANYTHING here! You can’t go wrong, especially at happy hour! LOL!!! Just go, already!!! You’ll thank me later!!!“

“The owners, staff, food, and drinks are all so awesome!“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“

“We started coming when the Mentor store first opened we’ve been here every weekend sense. The people and food keep us coming back“

“I love eating at Gateway diner. It’s always a friendly experience. It feels like Home there. The staff is so kind that atmosphere is so warm. It’s got that true diner experience that you don’t often get anymore plus the pancakes slap.“

“Great food, impeccable service and “chill” vibe! Casual fine dining at its best!“

“Haven’t been to JT’s Diner for about two years. Thought we’d give it a try as we remembered it being good at their previous location. We were very disappointed in our breakfasts. My crisp bacon was burnt to a crisp with burnt taste upon first bite. Our home fries used to be excellent “sliced” potato’s, but yesterday came as mush and the scrambled eggs were not even cut….just folded like an omelet. Coffee was good and hot, as in the past. For $20.53 I expected better. Don’t think I would return.“

“Excellent food!“

“I veye much enjoy there food.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“I’ve been coming here for YEARSSS. The best mocha hands down.“

“Great breakfast. You can even make a fresh made malt or shake with it!“

“Service was friendly, fast and just nice. Coffee was amazing and they kept it topped off, old school style. Diner itself was a blast from the past and I loved it. It was a welcome change from the over planned feeling so many places go for anymore. As a millennial, it was stepping back to a childhood feeling place, sans the cig smoke.

Food was good and there was plenty of it. Grits were good, sausage gravy was good, home fries were actually home fries and good.“

“Food is good, however in the past they along with other restaurants showed appreciation for Veterans by offering a complimentary meal to the Veteran(s) on Veterans Day. They don't do that anymore. Now its a complimentary ice cream desert and a gift card for an appetizer for your next visit. Don't come here Veterans... dont come here on Veterans Day. Go to Outback or Applebee's where you can actually feel appreciated the one day out of the year.“

“This is the best bar ever“

“We reviewed Hello Bistro in Beachwood OH, well JRK did because Joe was too busy "working"...... Tried the Tex Mex burger – looked great, but it was tiny and bland. I was expecting flavor fireworks, but it was more like a flavor fizzle. The avocado was the highlight though! The fries were fresh and tasty, and the house-made ranch? Chef’s kiss. As for the chocolate chip cookie… I thought it was fresh, but it was more like a sad, store-bought rock. Tex Mex Burger 5.5 Hand cut fries 6.1 House Made Ranch 8.2 Chocolate Chip Cookie 2.0“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“Amazing food every time you go ! Best chicken fingers ever !!“

We will return for EVERY special occasion!“

“Sorry, I didn’t take any photos but this was an exceptionally good lunch place.
Friendly service. Quality food and good portions.
Overall good vibe as the entire staff seemed like they genuinely enjoy the place they were working. From the hostess to the servers to the cooks, they all had smiles and good demeanor amongst each other. That is a great job by management creating that atmosphere and culture.“

All I can say is, wow! not only did the place look great but, the service was awesome and the food was really good. Karen, the women working the bar was an absolute sweetheart. She was very warm and welcoming. Karen whipped us up some really tasty holiday drinks. We highly recommend the Tipsy Santa.“

“Had a terrific meal at Austin's yesterday. Celebrating a milestone birthday the server made everything even more special- he was terrific! All of the food was cooked to perfection. The birthday boy had the pork chops- amazing! 2 thick nice sized chops and cooked perfectly- juicy and tender. The special of the night was beef stroganoff and it was amazing- the taste was perfect- my only suggestion would be maybe a slightly thicker sauce but it had such a wonderful taste. Must have is the spinach dip- this is the best spinach dip around! The dip itself but also the house made chips are to die for- I need them to be sold by the bag!! The pumpkin martini was excellent. Very attentive (and comical) service really made it a dining pleasure. We were there right at 4 (we did make reservations) and they were ready and set to go. We really appreciated the cheesecake for the birthday boy too and the group picture which we did not even have to ask someone to do, the hostess just came up and did it for us- so nice! Thank you for a great 85th birthday celebration!“

“Nice place I go there often. Great food. Although they need to add tater tots to the menu...“

“It's a nice place with a nice vibe I can't speak on what it's like for the nightlife I just go during the day for happy hour. I do NOT in any form of way trust this city to attend to anything/ anywhere as far as the nightlife I just wanna be as safe as possible.“
