In
a
word:
WOW!
This
was
the
single
greatest
dining
experience
we
have
ever
had
in
Cleveland.
The
setting
simply
cannot
be
beat
-
belying
the
unassuming
exterior,
the
restaurant
interior
is
dark
and
sophisticated
without
being
stuffy.
Not
to
mention,
the
floor
to
ceiling
wine
racks
(and
private
rentable
wine
lockers)
make
for
great
conversation
starters.
A
tremendous
shout
out,
meanwhile,
goes
to
all
of
the
staff
for
their
kindness
and
warm
hospitality...
not
least
because
they
were
able
to
upgrade
our
party
to
a
private
dining
room,
making
the
experience
extra
special!
Special
kudos
to
Anthony,
our
chief
server,
who
was
charming,
entertaining,
helpful,
and
attentive,
and
made
sure
we
were
well
taken
care
of
throughout
our
meal.
Be
sure
to
ask
for
him
by
name
next
time
you're
here
-
he'll
take
your
dinner
to
the
next
level!
As
for
the
food,
it
was
exactly
what
you
would
expect
from
a
top
tier
restaurant.
Nearly
everything
was
good,
from
the
smooth
and
elegant
cocktails
to
the
succulent
onion
bread
to
the
creamy
soups
to
the
bright
and
refreshing
salads
to
the
deluxe
whole
lump
crab
cakes.
However,
the
star
of
the
show
was,
as
it
should
be,
the
steaks:
choice
cuts
trimmed
and
cooked
to
perfection,
then
glazed
with
sauces
that
complimented,
rather
than
overwhelmed,
the
natural
flavors
of
the
meat.
The
only
criticism
I
have
is
that
some
of
the
side
dishes
fell
flat
in
comparison
to
the
entrees
(you're
voted
off
of
the
island,
creamed
corn...
though
the
mashed
potatoes
and
brussels
sprouts
can
stay).
After
two
hours
of
wining
and
dining
we
were
too
stuffed
for
a
full
dessert
course.
However,
Anthony
brought
the
birthday
girl
a
complimentary
plate
with
a
smooth
and
decadent
chocolate
lava
cake
and
a
crispy,
creme
brûlée-topped
cheesecake,
which
were
so
good
it
made
us
all
wish
that
we
hadn't
left
our
spare
stomachs
at
home.
Ah
well,
there
will
always
be
next
time
-
which
can't
come
soon
enough!
