    Menu from 12/26/20

    Nice little to go only sandwich shop. Mom and paps kind of place with cheap specials. I had a PO girl sandwich fries and faygo to go for $6 The sandwich was good and the gentleman at the window was very friendly I was told the menus will be expanding 2020 and I will definitely go back. A lot of the photos on this post are of a different establishment. This is not a sit down place with bar. It's just a small store front

    This is a lil gem tucked away in Maple Heights. African American owned mom & pop soul food restaurant. Take out only. One of the best polish boys we've had in a long time. Perch was cooked thoroughly with a lil crunch. My husband had me go there 2 days in a row. You can't get a decent polish boy in Streetsboro.

    They serve these tender turkey ribs with this sauce.....really that's all you need. They routinely sell out.....so call ahead. Tip: grab a bottle of local made wine to wash it all down.

    I like everything about this resturante. Price and value first your money was good. Ambiance was what I call casual elegance. There is an excellent Wine selection and the craft cocktails were delish #buthatfoodthough. The food was better than some of the higher end restuarante I have been to. My server Mike, was great very friendly and fast with our appetizers and our meal We found this establishment on a humble, but we will be back. Try the stuffed peppers, the lamb chops and the crab stuff salmon. All very flavorful, tender and nicely presented

    Came here with my family while passing through town and had a great experience. They were a little…read morebusy, but it's a big place, and we didn't need a reservation on Saturday evening. The environment is classy and the interior design is lovely, but it's still pretty casual. The inside definitely beats the patio for atmosphere; the patio area is pretty plain, but it looks like you can sit outside with your dog. Everyone really enjoyed the food. We shared the truffle pierogies for an appetizer, I had the shoka bowl for my entree, and we shared the sticky toffee cake for dessert. I also had a non-alcoholic tamarind mule to drink. All the food was interesting and really delicious! No one thing in particular stood out because it was all fantastic. The portions on the entrees and dessert were pretty large - we were all very hungry since we hadn't eaten in a while and the meals were just the right size. The cake was huge - even splitting it three ways, I got a lot. Service was good even though they were busy. Our waiter was very friendly and professional. We didn't have a reservation on Saturday evening but were able to be seated right away.

The restaurant is beautiful, with an upscale feel that makes for a nice dining experience. The service was also excellent--friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit. We started with the Buffalo Cauliflower and Chicken Potstickers as appetizers. Both portions were a decent size, but the cauliflower was unfortunately very greasy, which made it difficult to enjoy. The potstickers were better, but neither appetizer was particularly memorable. For our entrées, we ordered the Strawberry Fattoush Salad and a Heckburger. The burger was solid and enjoyable, but the salad was disappointing. Fattoush salads are typically packed with fresh ingredients and bold flavors, but this version was mostly romaine lettuce and lacked the vibrant flavor profile we expected. At $14, it also felt underwhelming for the price. Overall, the atmosphere and service were the highlights of our visit. While the food was okay, it didn't live up to the restaurant's upscale ambiance or pricing. There are plenty of dining options in the area, and based on our experience, I think there are better places to spend your dining dollars.

The first course was complimentary breads with olive tapenade. The breads were so rustic and delicious. The olive tapenade was a great dipping sauce. For appetizer, I got fried calamari. It was a modern Italian twist. The fried calamari was so tender. It had light breading. It was fried together with olives, sun dried tomatoes, sliced shiitake mushrooms and some basils. It was so good that I kept eating it. For entrees, I got the bone-in CAB ribeye. It was cooked medium rare. The steak was juicy, tender and had a little bite to it. The asparagus was great in the dish. However, I was not too keen on crispy potatoes with Gorgonzola cheese. The cheese kinda made the potatoes a bit salty. I didn't enjoyed it at all. The beef short rib was another entree I tried as well. It was tender but the flavor was not deep and complex. Overall, the restaurant did a good job with the food. I would come back if I am ever in the area.

I don't drink anymore, so seeing a non alcoholic drink section was nice to see. I was made aware that the base of the Aplos was very herbal and tart. The first one brought to me was very tart. Very, very tart. I was not a fan, my dad was going to drink it, our waitress: Deja noticed and offered to have it remade. I accepted, the bartender came out to drop it off and explained how she changed it up. She stood by me and waited until I tried it. A bit much, it was better. The tartness was only at the end for a brief moment. They didn't have a specific gluten free menu, but Deja did tell us what was naturally gluten free and/or could be modified. A lot of the food is made in house. A lot of it looked appealing, but they had gluten free noodles that were not made in house. So I went with a trusted filet mignon cooked medium. The demi glace was an excellent touch. The potatoes were pretty good. The broccolini wasn't what I was hoping for. My parents dishes were much larger. Leftovers were had and enjoyed on a second day. I would maybe try the short ribs next time we would go. The building is very rustic and decorative. The bathroom is upstairs; an elevator is present is needed. A very interesting place. Staff and kitchen very accommodating. The prices are high for the amount you're given. Would love some in house pasta that is gluten free with an in house sauce. I was there primarily for the company. Not my favorite spot. I would be willing to go again.

This time, I brought my family along for lunch, and it did not disappoint! We took advantage of their happy hour specials, which included half-off pizzas, select appetizers, and drinks. We started with the Street Corn Nachos and added grilled chicken. They were absolutely incredible--easily some of the best nachos we've ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was delicious. We also ordered the whipped feta, which was simply divine and a must-try. For our entrées, one person ordered the pepperoni pizza and really enjoyed it. I had the sausage pasta, which was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light while still being incredibly satisfying. The third entrée was the Thai noodles , and it was another hit. Everyone commented on how fresh and well-prepared their meal was. The service, as always, was impeccable. We were greeted immediately and seated right away. What really stands out about this restaurant is the teamwork. Everyone pitches in, whether it's bringing out food, clearing plates, or noticing your water glass is getting low. It doesn't matter if they're your server or not--they make sure you're taken care of, and that level of hospitality really makes a difference. The restaurant is also spotless, and I love that the open kitchen allows you to watch the team preparing the food. It adds to the overall experience and shows how much care goes into every dish. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or happy hour, this place consistently delivers. Great food, outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a beautiful space make this one of my favorite restaurants in the Cleveland area. If you're visiting the Pinecrest area, do yourself a favor and make this a stop--you won't regret it!
