    It was our first visit and it won’t be our last! Our server, Holly, was kind and helpful. The staff worked really well in simply clearing dishes, filling water and securing a to go box. Our brunch was delicious! Love the decor, CLE views and make sure you go the restroom to see amazing photos of a beautiful young man.

    Our meal and service were outstanding. My only complaint is the same that I experience in many restaurants now- It's so loud we have trouble even talking to each other at the table. What happened to polite dinner conversation? I'm not talking about the bar area, that had fun music playing that created a festive atmosphere.

    Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
