We were here for a early holiday lunch. The menu seems small but the portions are generous. I am kind of a plain, simple eater so I ordered the Mediterranean chicken without the arugula, basil, hummus, tomatoes, etc. and added a side of Yukon potatoes. It was perfect for me. If you get the ham sandwich, which several people did, be prepared to be rolled out because it's ginormous. We had a bit of everything from the dessert menu. They were all amazing. I don't you could go wrong ordering anything off the menu. So just go for it! The service was great. I told our waiter my order like 20 minutes before anyone else ordered and he remembered it. If he wrote anything down, I didn't see it, but my order was perfect. Everything was pleasant. We didn't repeatedly ask for anything or wait extensively on anything. It was great. I hear getting in on the weekends is hard. I can confirm that getting in for lunch during the week is easy! Treat yourself.
My hubby and I decided we would have a fun get-away trip to Cleveland for the weekend. While we were walking we saw a restaurant we had seen featured on Guy Fieri’s show! We sat at the counter and were greeted with the kindest waiter!! He helped us decide what to order. The food is something that will have you dreaming about later!!! Its out of this world!! The service is even better!!! If you’re in downtown Cleveland , it’s an absolute must to visit!!! We would give it 10 stars if we could!! An absolute gem!!!
We had the Toast and Jam Bread Board (Highly recommended!), Saganaki, and the Eggs Benedict, along with drinks of Kickin' it with Kiwi and Gettin' Figgy With It. If you're a foodie, you'll love all the flavors, and while the drinks were delicious and unique, the food was so fantastic! It was a perfect morning for enjoying the covered outside patio, which had plenty of fans, plus a great cross breeze. Can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu!
Best brunch in cleveland hands down. The croquet madame is easily the best I've had. The bechamel on it is very well seasoned with a nice rich flavor. The ham on this sandwich is also very high quality. The debris gravy saganaki has a very deeply flavored with a rich beefy flavor. The kasseri cheese is amazing perfectly golden and it's incredible. The drinks here are also great. They're strong but balanced there take on a mint julep is great with very punchy flavors. I really enjoyed it. The biggest downside is parking can be hard here it's all street parking. But it's absolutely worth trying.
What a hidden gem! Or at least for me it was until I found this place. Now I see they're on many best restaurant lists in Cleveland and for good reason. I go to restaurants all the time and I've had plenty of good food, but this place is truly unique and special!! The food is so good that I actually took my time to savor every single bite. You can tell the quality of the food is incredible. You can see by their unique menu the amount of time they take to put these unique meals together. Although you can get typical breakfast items here I couldn't resist trying some of their interesting and different brunch meals. The quality of the food is obvious. The unique and rich flavors of the food was different and nothing like I've had before. It was one of the most incredible meals I have ever had. Period. I can't remember the name of what I got but it had short ribs with eggs and cheese and maybe some potatoes. It was also recommended by our server. It was absolutely incredible! It was packed full of flavor. It was savory, it was rich, and it was delicious. I took my time and savored every bite. I will say at first I was disappointed at the portion sizes compared to the prices, but after trying the food the portion sizes were perfect. The food is that good, rich and flavorful that I didn't want it to end. I don't know how else to describe it. It was just that good. My daughter had The Omelette which could not top the meal I had, but I was surprised at how good it was. I've clearly never had a good omelet prior to this one. I didn't realize what I was missing my whole life. I forgot to mention how fabulous their coffee was too. Everything from their coffee to the food was top notch and perfect. This place is truly unique and special and I highly recommend checking them out for brunch.
Such a nice place! An absolutely wonderful patio with great ambiance. The food was what really stood out. We went for their happy hour specials and were not disappointed! The hummus and pita? Delicious. The dolmades? So good. The cheese board? Fire. Would totally recommend for a nice light dinner or lunch during happy hour.
Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Classic Cleveland experience. Authentic food with excellent quality. Our server was very informative. We were there on a Saturday, after the brunch, so we'll have to go back to experience the full menu.
I had the avgolemono soup that was very watery, not thick like it usually is. Then I ordered donates which are usually served warm & they were cold. Then I ordered the Mediterranean olive oil with bread that was a little on the sour side. My Husband got the asparagus & ramp soup served cold & it was excellent! For his entrée he had the crispy artichokes that were excellent! Next time I will opt for the Greek horiatiki salad & the veal, lamb, & ricotta meatballs with pasta.
