Probably the best value smash burger deal in NEOhio. Nice size patties, good sauce and lettuce/onions and a decent portion of fries. Had a glass of Viognier and wife had a Riesling. Both good and liked that they had different sized pours. Service was good. Appeared to be well staffed. What really sets this place apart is the overall feel of the physical space and manicured grounds. Clean, bright, comfortable. A walk after dinner around the amazing grounds made for a nice evening. Hard to believe this place is at the end of a nondescript industrial park. Too bad I don't have an occasion coming up because this would be high on my list of places to have it. Will eagerly return.

We placed our drink order and waited...out came 2 glasses of wine, then the third and then the beer that was ordered. Also asked for lemon wedges for the water which came after the beer. Placed appetizers order of crab cakes and smash burger. Waited a bit and then placed order for two salads as part of our dinners. Salads came out before the appetizers. I must say the crab cakes were delicious (maybe not $26 delicious), the smash burger was ok, very greasy and fries were not very hot. My biggest disappointment was my entree, Parmesan Crusted Seabass which is one of my all time favorites that I order when I see it on the menu. The plate looked delicious but looks can be deceiving. The Seabass was more breaded than Parmesan crusted. Usually When I order this it is Seabass topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and baked, this was not that! Then the sauce that covered the spinach and potatoes and lobster pieces had red chili flakes added(which is not noted on the menu) which added "heat" to the dish that I was not expecting nor was I able to eat. For $55 I was very disappointed. No, I didn't mention this at the time as we were dining with family and I didn't want to disrupt the dinner by sending it back. Such a simple thing to note on the menu description! The short rib was the best entree of the table, nice portion and delicious sauce. The filet was tiny, maybe 4 oz. Definitely not anywhere near 8 in as stated on the menu and it was hard to find with all of the broccoli on the plate. We will be visiting family here again but definitely won't be back here. On another note, the music they were playing would be more suitable to a dance club than a venue such as this.

It's a perfect place for personal life's big occasions and business events. I visited Ariel for years for various occasions. Most often, various networking and social events (by Woman Up and International Partners in Mission). A few times the businesses located in the building. I really enjoyed every experience. The building has plenty of character - exposed brick and wood details, twinkling lights, and panoramic views of the city (looks amazing during the day and night). It's very industrial chic. It also has lots of space (68,000 square feet to be exact). It has a rooftop! I mainly visited the fourth floor for social occasions. I also visited the first floor businesses (very spacious suites). I found all to be expansive and capable of fitting many guests. Every event I've visited in this space was capable of housing many vendors and leaving sufficient space for dancing and interaction. Events I've attended keep being hosted in this space making me think it works well and are a pleasant experience. There are multiple elevators available in the building. One of them was not functional during my latest visit, but guests were easily redirected to the other one. This is one of a few event places in the city with spacious parking lot. It's huge, easy to navigate, and attached to the building. I would highly recommend this venue. The industrial CLE vibes, character, and the views are unmatched. It's a modern space yet with so much history!

I had an easy experience with the valet and there's ample free parking. The building is accessible, which is so appreciated amongst the sea of inaccessible venues in Cleveland. The venue has two floors and is surprisingly large. The event itself ran flawlessly with professional staff, a nice layout and a good feeling of comfort in a big space that still felt intimate. Glad I could check this venue out and I'll keep it in mind for future events!

They had two rooms, one smaller area in the front for appetizers and drinks, and the dining room further in, that easily fit 18-20 tables. This is my first Western style wedding that was served family style, and I liked it! I thought the chicken was too dry, and could really have used much more gravy, but the beef was good, and I loved the horseradish sauce that went with it. The service was excellent, and the bar tenders delightful. They also knew what the names of the drinks you may ask for were.... I've been to some places west of Philly where they didn't know what a Cuba Libre was made with. I appreciate knowledgeable bartenders. Also, the bathroom is nice, and they equipped the women's rooms with pads, tampons, and q-tips. That was a nice touch.

My friend got married last weekend, and this is where the reception was…read more At first, I was puzzled by the fact that the ceremony was in the early afternoon and the reception wasn't until six, but that gave me the opportunity to see the entire first half of the Michigan State-Notre Dame game, so I was a happy camper. This place teaches you not to judge a venue by its exterior. OK, so the architect's son part of me absolutely judges a venue by its exterior, but the me part of me was pleasantly surprised and even kind of excited that this place looks so much better inside than it does outside. It's in a random, industrial-looking part of Euclid. The building itself is just a gigantic cinder-block rectangle, and the parking lot looks like millions of other beat-up parking lots in snowbelt cities around the Great Lakes. Walking from the parking lot to the entrance, you won't be impressed. Even when you enter, you're kind of expecting the worst. But when you get inside, it's nice. It's not gaudy and tacky, which is what many wedding places are like, but it's not as bare bones as the exterior would lead you to believe either. I really enjoyed the wedding, but that had a lot more to do with the fact that my friend was marrying a wonderful guy, I was sitting at a fun table, Notre Dame had won, and USC had lost. Overall, it was a basically perfect September Saturday. The icing on the (wedding) cake, though, was that I found a Where's George bill in one of the tip baskets at the bar. I promptly bought this bill so that I could enter it. The next day, I proceeded to leave my backpack at the home of the friend of a friend I was staying with, so I didn't get to enter the bill until my backpack was shipped all the way back to San Francisco. Oh right, Tizzano's. It's a cool place. If you're trying to impress people when they drive up, you can do much better. If you don't care about that, then this place will do.

Since the moment we contacted Vell's through the days after our event, this venue did everything they possibly could to accommodate us. They worked with us on dates, they gave us so many menu options, they kept us up-to-date of all the restrictions going on in the state (we were planning from states away.) We changed a few things on them and they could not have been nicer about it. The food was amazing and the venue was beautiful. All our guests had everything they needed and everything went off without a hitch. Not only was it an amazing and beautiful event but it was also very affordable. We told them our budget and guest list and they gave us an option that worked for us. Also, everything was super clean and we have had no problems with the virus since our event. Can not recommend this place enough. Talk to Dee. She will make the wedding reception of your dreams come true!

This space is a cute little location to get some work done on your laptop. Your first visit is complimentary (free) so that you can experience how it would be to work here. I first visited on Wednesday, August 18th, 2021 for a private volunteer activity with the Beauty Boost group. I was given a tour by the owner Maureen who shared with me her vision of expanding the space in the near future. She is excited to have some future offerings here at the CoLab. I visited again a month later on Thursday, September 16th for another private event, a Women Wonderland panel discussion. SPACE -- The interior has one large room with tables and chairs and about 2 private smaller rooms for taking phone calls. Wifi (internet) is included. There are different membership packages too because you need to pay to use this space. If you work from home or need a day out of your office, then I recommend the Co-Lab. Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks are available for you in the kitchen as you work. I can't wait to come here again but instead of attending an event, actually sit and work. **** - 52/100 total reviews in 2021 - 472 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 September 2021

Maureen and Rachel worked very hard to make sure that everything was organized and tailored to meet our needs, from the first meeting through the reception. Our wedding was truly customized to be exactly what we dreamed of. The CoLab and Lounge spaces are both visually stunning, making for many Instagram-worthy photos. (And we didn't have to spend a ton on additional decorations!) I loved the soft look and feel of the CoLab for our ceremony and dessert table, contrasted with the speak-easy style of the Lounge where we had the bar and dancing. And we were able to have it all without asking our guests to relocate between the ceremony and reception! I'm so glad that Lakewood has this beautiful space for special occasions, and we will definitely be coming back the next time we have an event. Thank you so much!!

I wanted to visit this venue for the longest time. I finally stopped in for the Cleveland Vintage Market hosted by the Cleveland Vibes. Ambiance: The space is huge - over 11,000 square feet of open space. There are remnants of Tenk Machine & Tool outside - a little mural. There is one ballrooms and separate rooms to the back of the event space. The vibes are industrial sophistication - gorgeous exposed brick walls, wood details, and abundant natural lighting. I can absolutely envision a wedding here with juxtaposition of delicate and rough. I love exposed brick walls, so for me the venue was just perfect. It was also just right for the Cleveland Vintage Market. It fit in plenty of vendors and attendees with still sufficient room to roam. Marigold Catering: There were sandwiches and cinnamon rolls for sale during the event offered by Marigold. I did not try either. I really enjoyed Marigold catered food at other events I've historically attended at other venues around the city. Service: I interacted with the security staff at this venue. They were so friendly and great at directing the foot traffic. Parking: Parking is available at a surface lot next door owned by Marigold. If you're up for a show walk, Nautica Pavilion is also a good parking choice. Ubering to this destination is pretty easy, GPS shows an accurate location. I look forward to visiting Tenk West Bank again! I hope that the venue hosts other events soon so that I can come back!
