It was a little cold in the restaurant, this was due to it being a very cold night and the door allowed a breeze in every time someone arrived and left. Also the A/C was on in the men's room and the water was very cold. These issues are easily fixed. All in all the food was excellent and the service was top notch. The staff found the perfect balance of allowing my party to feel as if someone was always around and available without being over bearing. I prefer when staff allows patrons to enjoy the wonderful meal they prepared without constantly asking if we need anything. The food was amazing and the spicy miso soup was a welcomed change to the typical miso soup.

About the restaurant

The concept of The Desi Accent reflects the sentiments of Desi (people of Indian subcontinent) and their diaspora derived from the Ancient Sanskrit (deśá) meaning Land or Country. Our team aims to share the 4,500 years old culture through a culinary experience deeply rooted in India’s heritage.

With a rich heritage, the history of Indian cuisine is as old as our civilization. The Indian dining etiquette is built on traditions. Behind almost every tradition are centuries of invasions, conquests, religious beliefs, political changes and social customs.

Our culinary team’s goal is to transform Indian spices and ingredients to memorable meals and authentic experiences. Indian cuisine is reflective of the historic eras. Our menu is reflective of a unique blend of vibrant colors and flavors with regional inspired recipes passed on from one generation to another.

About the restaurant

Although it's most famous for its electrifying use of chilies and lip-tingling ChengDu peppercorns, the heart of the local cooking style lies in the artful mixing of flavors.

Chengdu cooks excel at combining hot, numbing, sweet, sour, savory, and nutty seasonings to create an astonishing variety of flavors.

Locals like to say, "each dish has its own style; a hundred dishes have a hundred different flavors."

“un-Americanized, small-place street food originated from Szechuan China, awarded as "best heritage restaurant" by Jean Bancheet”

Our Story Begins in Chengdu

"Nearly everything at Da Mao Jia is designed to set your tongue alight with chile heat. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise since the new Bridgeport restaurant specializes in street food from Chengdu, the capital of the Sichuan province of China and home to one of the most ferociously spicy cuisines on the planet."

We had a lovely evening. The food & service were excellent. However, the music was a little loud. As more diners arrived, they needed to raise their voices in order to have conversation. That was annoying but something easy to rectify.

About the restaurant

The roots of the restaurant date back more than 30 years, when it was first established as Sweetwater’s Cafe on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland by well-known restaurateur Gary Lucarelli. It later moved to a vibrant mall at the downtown Galleria with the name Sweetwater’s Cafe Sausalito. Now, a re-envisioned restaurant resides in a beautiful, contemporary glass-front location along bustling East 9th Street in downtown Cleveland under the name, Sausalito on Ninth.

Sausalito is very excited to be opening their second location in the city of Kirtland, Ohio to bring high-quality, local Ohio cuisine that is prepared and served by staff who genuinely care about quality and service. Sausalito Kirtland also boasts a curated wine and beer menu and hand-crafted original cocktails

The bar tenders were knowledgeable as well as creative when mixing our hand crafted drinks. We then moved to our table with a stunning few of Easton and all the Christmas lights.
