    Mahi Mahi
    Von M.

    Really bad food on a Mother's Day afternoon. Warm beer from the tap. Clean bathrooms is about the best I can say. Do not recommend. After seeing some food come out I studied the menu for sometime. Thought the wings would be a safe bet for this place and boy was I wrong. Wings were inedible. Choked down 3 before giving up. Partner said flatbread was a nice texture crispy. Sis in laws mahi was so so. Daughter said the smash burger was fine. Looked unappealing.

    if you order the fries, open one up. All you'll see is hollow garbage and you'll notice by the taste. The smash burger, to be specific the "boujee" smash burger has no flavor when it comes to the patties. The cheese isn't terrible but the bacon jam they've tried to add to enhance the flavor just doesn't cut it. The shrimp bowl is awfully small while only getting 4 shrimp, cost proportions. On the bright side the flavor of the street corn fries is pretty good. Service was pleasant as well, decent environment.

    We stopped in for cocktails after a Cleveland Monsters game and really enjoyed our visit. Delilah was a very fun and friendly bartender. The ambiance is dark with a casual but sophisticated vibe. There's multiple TV screens to watch and plenty of seating options. We ordered the Up in Smoke and the Sweater Weather and each found then to be very well crafted and delish. We didn't order food but the menu looked appealing.

    Elote fries
    Gina F.

    I wish I could give this place a better review because the space itself is awesome - big bar and super cute vibe but the food was average at best. They have a great happy hour so we would go back for drinks for sure and to watch a game or something but probably not for dinner. We had the elote fries, the Cesar wrap and a gluten free pizza. The flavor of the pizza was good but it was legit so soggy I couldn't even pick it up (which is hard to do because usually GF is crispier than normal). My husband's wrap had zero dressing on it and it was so dry lacking flavor. He ended up taking it home just so he could remake it into something he'd eat - recommend getting a side of dressing if you order. The chicken in it was good though! Nice servers at the bar - can't say anything bad about the staff!

    Nacho appetizer
    Erika A.

    Food was delicious! Tried the chicken and waffle fries and they were some of the best around. The nacho appetizer was both large and super yummy. Definitely a new favorite place! Service was quick and good. We ate outside and a band was getting ready to set up and play so that was a little chaotic and slightly annoying because yhey made over 20 trips back and forth from their van and bumped us several times. But I dont fault the restraunt. Everything was great and we will go again!

    Enjoying the ambiance

    This place is pretty hit for Cleveland suburbs. It is seriously trying to be hip. It's got that kind of wood and steel and somewhat open ambience. The service was friendly and efficient. There were some TVs around in case you wanna watch it. The food was pretty good, I won't say it's great, but it was good. It's very conveniently located near the highway and it was within less than a mile from our hotel. We ended up eating here twice in a week. I would probably come back. I wouldn't make a trip all the way to the neighborhood to go there, but if I was already in the neighborhood, I would definitely come back in.

    Smoke show - Ribs, coleslaw and Mac n cheese
    Chris D.

    Food was alright. Had the smoke show. The sauce on the ribs was pretty good but the meat was dry. I did not enjoy the coleslaw but it was unique for sure. The Mac n cheese was pretty watery but not bad. I liked the vibes of the place and the patio was nice. Ample parking in the lot and service was good.

    First time trying this place. It has been a few different restaurants in the past few years but the decor has changed and hopefully this place sticks around. It's a great vibe. Little dark but nice big open bar. Couches and tons of televisions. Nice versatile menu and drinks. Has Lenten specials out now so that's a good thing. The patio is still huge but obviously not opened yet due to weather. The waitstaff was great and very professional and on top of everything. We just ordered some Apps and cocktails. The pretzel was enormous and came with a few dipping sauces. The Asian tenders were a hit, just the right amount of spice and crunchiness. The crispy feta was unbelievable. Great pita chips with honey. It was remarkable. Definitely will be back and will try some more food and try the feta again. We had a Moscow mule, and some specialty drinks. One drink came out with smoke and the martini towers were something to be scene. Very popular as you see many of the staff carrying them out. Cool vibe, cool decor, can be used as a hangout with friend, to a classy meal or a celebration for an event. Overall a 9.1 out of 10.

    Chicken herb sandwich on gluten-free bun
    Jacqui C.

    This place seems to be always busy. They have a nice bar area, 2 sections with table seating, and a nice patio. The staff was very happy and nice. The menu had some good options and it was hard to decide on what to get. They offer gluten free options, including their buns, which is nice. Prices were average and they have drink specials. I would definitely go there again.

    Lemon chicken over mashed potatoes, good.

The facility is far bigger than I thought it would be. They have a central restaurant with multiple party centers on either side. It's a really BIG facility. New, modern, and quite attractive. With plenty of convenient parking. The wall of the restaurant that faces Cleveland Hopkins Airport is all glass. It affords you quite an impressive view of the airport and the planes landing. The staff we met was pleasant and efficient. Our server, Mina, did an excellent job all night. If there was a weak point, it would be the food. It was not bad (I'm trying to be kind); it was just uninspired, limited, and not really well prepared. Because they do not offer bread for the table our only option was to order the "Soft Pretzel". It arrived badly overcooked, crunchy not soft, and even boardering on burnt. The charcuterie board was OK, but uninspired. I ordered the "Lemon Chicken" which was a full half chicken in a reasonably good sauce. But the meat was dry and it came only with brussel sprouts (yuk!). My wife had the "Walleye" which she simply said was "okay"... oh well. Our guests weren't any more impressed than we were. I will say our coffee and "Pot de Creme" were very good... thank goodness. All in all, our overall experience was "meh"... just "meh". Sorry - really probably should be 3.5

We dropped in for Happy Hour, looking for cocktails and a few bites, and were immediately struck by the well-appointed space. The runway views at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport added an unexpected layer of entertainment--watching planes take off and land while toasting 14 years of marital bliss felt like the perfect backdrop. We started strong with a French 75 and an Old Fashioned--both expertly crafted, but that Old Fashioned? Smooth, balanced, and memorable enough to set the tone for the entire evening. Wednesday happens to be Wing Day ($2 whole wings), and we took full advantage. We sampled Buffalo, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and the undeniable star of the show: Garlic Parmesan. Each had its own personality, but that Garlic Parmesan was simply elite. Service was impeccable--Emily was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our experience flowed as effortlessly as the cocktails. Speaking of which, round two brought a Cosmo alongside a repeat of that Old Fashioned...because when you find the right note, you stay in that key. For food, we shared the French Dip Baguette--shaved prime rib, provolone, horseradish aioli, and au jus done right--and paired it with the Mega Crunch Fries, elevated with sea salt, rosemary, and a light truffle oil drizzle. Simple menu items, executed with intention. We closed the evening the same way we began--together, with one final round of Old Fashioneds. A Happy Hour well spent. A celebration well honored. A 14-year journey still taking off.

Sports bars aren't my scene, but I really loved it too! AMBIANCE: We stopped in during the college football weekend. We opted to sit at a booth in the sports bar area. It was very rowdy and festive! My family mentioned that usually the bar was more quiet during their previous few visits. The guests seemed like regulars, all in good spirits, in Ohio state attire, and with beer buckets. It was a very celebratory day with Ohio chants! The sports bar is surprisingly spacious. There is a bar area for sports fans, quiet dining area for families, and separate event room. This separation caters to many occasions and clients. I loved the idea of various vibes and noise levels. The focal point, sports bar area, has TV's lining the walls, CLE decor, bar seating, tables, and comfy booths. FOOD/DRINKS: Food menu is extensive, actually there are four or five menus including seasonal and football specials. There are also daily specials. Don't expect average bar food, the food is seriously delicious! Great prices for the quality and portions! We ordered Gold BBQ wings that were so flavorful and delicious. Great value at 6 wings for $7 for CLE Wing Week. We also ordered multiple London Broils ($18.99 each), which is a weekend special. London Broil was perfectly hearty. It includes a generous serving of grilled marinated steak strips, homemade mashed potatoes with gravy, and veggies. The meat was cooked to perfection and very generous serving. The potatoes were with a bit of skin and truly made in house. I'm not a big gravy person but the thick and flavorful gravy was so good! I could eat these London Broils every weekend especially in colder months. London Broils sometimes run out at the end of the weekend, so check in before you go. Drink menu was extensive. I was sipping water, my mom tried Touchdown Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary was football day special. We were all surprised that for $5 the drink came with bacon, celery, and an onion ring toppings. My mom described the drink as perfectly spicy. SERVICE: I was impressed with the service considering the crowd. Our waitress was so attentive and pleasant. It's rare to have such good service. I was very pleasantly surprised. PARKING: Large private parking lot is available. It wraps around the building. Our entire experience here was great! If you're looking for a low key spot with amazing food, try Tony K's. I can't wait to be back for London Broils! I also would love to further explore the menu next time!

Just look at the pictures, very meaty. He quickly asked for a to go box to put half away. I love the bacon pizza, I don't think it's on the menu, I ask for it that way. Our favorite server is Sue, she wasn't in today. We were served by someone else and she did an excellent job. I think she manages booking the rooms for parties. It's a bar, at times it will be a little too noisy. That's to be expected and it's just the vibe. 5 stars due to Excellent Service, Great Food, Goof Value.

But whoever is grilling the burgers at the other location is who is keeping me coming back. Other than that, other location is farther from me, it's worth a drive. What I really like about this place is the fresh meat and the disclaimer about the meats and how it's prepare. Well, I didn't like this time around is at the meat lacked seasoning, and the meat did not have that crispy edge or the juiciness in comparison to the other location. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this location unless I'm really thirsty for a good burger. If this is your first time at this location, then yes it's delicious. It's one of the best burgers in Cleveland. If you visit the other location first you're definitely gonna be disappointed when you go to this one.
