    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.

    This place has definitely earned its name, the cherry bourbon smash was the best bourbon cocktail I’ve ever had. We started with the mussels in diabolo sauce, sauce was so good we had to have it packed up to bring home, the lamb shank risotto and the pistachio crusted lamb chops were out of this world, and we finished on crème the caramel, which was light but perfectly set. We’ve been here a few times and found ourselves wondering why we don’t come more, it’s a lot closer to us than the nicer places in downtown or in beachwood, we will look for more events in the La Salle venue so we can return.
