I started with the popular soft serve margarita and was very pleased with it! Omg, the flavor was amazing and the texture was like a smooth sorbet. The tequila in the drink was not too strong at all. A great sweet treat for the summer! The restaurant was bright and inviting with very cute tiki tables. They have fun music videos playing throughout the day which is a nice touch as well. Very fun atmosphere for all ages. They also have an outside patio that I hope to visit this summer. For my meal I had the shrimp tacos which were delicious. The shrimp was fried in a tempura batter which paired very well with the slaw and sauce on the tacos. The side of rice was tasty too. A nice light and flavorful meal. I will be back soon for another soft serve margarita!

Plenty to share and we took some home. Had the short rib hash next--a real treat, with tender savory short ribs, toasty potatoes, eggs exactly as ordered, spinach and a creamy sauce. Companion had the tortilla wrap, a breakfast burrito with chorizo, eggs, spinach and cheese, very well rendered and sizable portion. Potatoes on the side. Service was impeccable. Trevor timed our food so that we could thoroughly enjoy the beignets before our main dishes arrived. Attentive without being annoying. A+. Also, nice vibes and ambience. Would definitely come again!

Astoria Cafe & Market is my go-to spot for brunch. It's always consistent, the environment is…read morelively but still relaxed, and the staff is great. They've even remembered me, which always makes the experience feel a little more personal. One of my favorite things there is the espresso martini. I don't drink vodka, and they're always willing to sub it out without hesitation and still make it taste amazing. Hands down, one of the best espresso martinis in the city, done my way. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

The horiatiki salata was so light and fresh and the olive oil and spices were perfect on top of the crisp veggies. I also got the country lamb lunch plate with crispy potatoes. The lamb was slow cooked in lots of yummy spices making it super flavorful and tender. The lamb was served on mini pitas with some type of sauce on it, kind of like a lamb taco. The crispy potatoes were excellent and came with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping. Excellent meal, great service, good ambiance and vibe with the market at the front. This visit was a reminder of why Astoria is always ranked amongst the best spots in Cleveland.

Their combinations are labeled by the days of the week, but you can order whichever one that you like any day of the week snow crab king, crab, muscles, oysters, scallops, of course, having the seafood cooked properly is what makes good seafood and also the seafood being fresh but for this place, I'd have to say in addition to that the sauce being made fresh with the garlic and all the seasonings is what also keeps me coming back. they have mastered the sauce combination not too salty not too sweet. You can customize your spice level anywhere from mild medium to hot. They also have good wings too if you're looking to get hot wings and fries, they have good fried fish. This place is about 25 miles away from me and I drive out to get the food every time so if you're looking for fresh properly cooked seafood, and a good seafood boil sauce this place I would highly recommend the service is pretty consistent helpful friendly the ambiance is a typical seafood place decor is seafood sea boat Florida type they have a bar good for watching the game it's not an upscale place super casual in my opinion.

They…read morehad plenty of seating, so you might be able to get away without a reservation, but don't chance it if your heart is set on dinner here. Especially on a weekend. Service and atmosphere was great. We had a very attentive and helpful server that gave us recommendations and checked on us often. Elegant restaurant that has a nice and fancy vibe to it. Great for date nights and special occasions. We sampled and found really good tasting wines. Made note and will purchase those wines in the future for casual drinking at home. We started with the complimentary bread and butter. Bread has hot out of the oven and tasted fresh. Also very soft. A+ on the bread. Same with the crab cake for an appetizer. Very small portion of just 1 crab cake, but favor was everything you could want when ordering a crab cake. Moving into the entree is where I marked them down on food. The main course of the meal(Steak, Walleye, Scallops) were excellent for all parties of our table. The problem was the sides were very lacking. My red potatoes were undercooked and hard. They just seemed basic with no added flavors. My green beans were cooked properly, but it was steamed green beans with zero flavor. They were just plain. Same with the corn mix. The sides need more flavor whether it's coming from a seasoning or sauce. We finished our meal off with bread pudding. Didn't get a picture of this, but it was tasty. I try bread pudding at any restaurant that offers it and felt this was mostly a flavored bread with ice cream on it. Not much of the creamy pudding to be a real bread pudding. But it was good for what it was. Overall, I do recommend trying this place. Some flavors will be bland while others will be flavor packed.

The food on each occasion has been kind of blasé. The drinks have been better. Two of the three times, the service was lackluster for the price tag. On one occasion, I had to send back glasses and silverware because it was dirty, and my date's setting was also dirty. Maybe they're going through a transition of sorts. I love the idea of it but not the execution.

The location of the restaurant on the Cuyahoga River on the east bank of the flats makes it a destination. On my first visit, I was with coworkers for lunch. Our server was fast and friendly, but we had some trouble being seated due to their 'policy'. After we were seated, given menus, and drink requests were taken, I decided to request the curry bowl. While we waited, I walked around the flats. A while later, our food was delivered. My supervisor requested walleye and my coworker requested a veggie sandwich with fries. The fries were served shoestring style and they were cold. My boss said his walleye was excellent. My corworker said her veggie sandwich was delicious and it was huge. My curry bowl was excellent. On my next visit, I felt like I should request the curry bowl again, so I did. Again, it was delicious. I really love curry flavors and it wasn't spicy. Definitely recommend.
