    Salted caramel hot chocolate
    Adam K.

    4.5 Stars Was in the area for a visit to some extended family and decided to stop in for brunch. It was delicious! Had to try the famous pancakes - they had a nice crisp edge and tasted like they were made with salted butter which was a pleasant addition. Interestingly, when I first tasted them, they were fluffy but got a tad gummy as the meal progressed, maybe from steaming in a stack, I don't know. They still tasted good. My wife and I split two dishes - the chicken and waffles and the corned beef hash. The chicken was small nuggets of breast meat, which works, because there were no bones to contend with and they were juicy and nicely spiced. The corned beef hash was very filling and tasty. The beef was minced fine but the potatoes were more hefty chunks. My wife liked that; I found it to be a mismatch (I think I prefer it all be big chunks or all finer and fried, but that's just my preference). All dishes came with big side of fruit. Top notch service. There was a small team of waiters buzzing around the restaurant, filling coffees, taking orders, and delivering food. My kids loved the salted caramel hot chocolate but, like many little kids, devoured the whipped cream first. One nice waitress came over and asked "you want more whipped cream?" to which they eagerly replied "yes!" The owner was super friendly and was working hard at the griddle. Even during one phone call to the restaurant in which he appeared to tell the prankster off, he still did it was a giant smile on his face - the man loves his job, I guess. The prices are fair, the food is good, and the service impeccable. Definitely recommend.

    Breakfast Sandwich with Hash Browns
    Alan S.

    We stopped at Garrett's Mill for breakfast recently and had a very good experience. The service was excellent as our server kept our coffee cups full and made sure our food tasted good. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I have had with the bacon being the highlight. The hash browns were nicely browned but warm at best. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Friday special cheeseburger and brew.

    This great local diner occasionally has Friday night specials. Tonight's is cheese hamburgers not a smash thin nothing but a meaty hamburger. If you miss the specials, you have to have to for breakfast or lunch among the BEST diners in north east Ohio. Fabulous omelets. 'World's Best Pancakes', Great thick bacon. Real fresh fruit cups. Fruits and vegetables from local farmers (when available). Local roaster coffee. And local micro brew beer plus bloody Mary's and other speciality drinks.

    We had ordered to go before, and the food was great! Today we got to eat in and had a great experience. Tiny restaurant with great food and very friendly staff. They say they have the best pancakes, and I now believe this is true! Also, great breakfast croissant sandwiches. Highly recommended, next visit we'll try the lunch menu!

    Egg white veggie omelette with pepper jack cheese cooked in olive oil absolutely amazing.

    Every time I come to this restaurant, I love it more. They make everything from scratch, including their soups they buy everything they can from local farms they hire handicap people giving them opportunities the owner. Brian is amazing. What a nice human with a great outgoing personality always trying to serve. I highly recommend this restaurant. The prices are pretty good too for what you're getting. They also make amazing savory or sweet crêpes.

    This is hands down one of the best diners in northeast Ohio. The owner works onsite and takes incredible care of every customer along with his team. The food and service are excellent and I will be back for many years to come. It's hard to find food made with love in a restaurant anymore, but this place is filled with good food and lots of love.

    Garretts Mills is a great example of a mom and pop shop. I went there 2 mornings in a row while visiting from out of town. Both days we spoke with the owner/cook and heard all about the local fresh vegetables and ingredients. The food and service round off the positive experience that we had. I will definitely be back when visiting again.

    Rosewood Grill - Beef tenderloin

    Rosewood Grill was an excellent birthday dinner choice. We had reservations for 5PM on a Tuesday…read moreand arrived about 10 minutes early. We were seated immediately and instantly felt our experience was going to be top notch. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, upscale but still casual. We ordered the deviled eggs and the sushi shots as an appetizer. The shots were amazing. Fish was fresh and the wontons dipped in the sauce were fantastic. The deviled eggs were just ok and tasted like any normal deviled egg. Nothing to write home about, but fine. For my entree I ordered the mixed grill and chose the Caesar salad and lobster tail. I think it was one of the best Caesar's I've ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly and the tail was huge! The potatoes were good but a little gummy (potato snob checking in. They were still edible and I finished them, no complaints.) There was some awkwardness in ordering my birthday dessert, however. The server that filled our waters when we were initially seated asked if we were celebrating anything - yes my birthday! She mentioned that I would get a brownie with ice cream on the house. Awesome! My favorite! I don't think this was communicated to our actual waitress. When I asked about the brownie she said "yeah it's a birthday thing, but I think I can make that happen". But.... It's my birthday :'( I felt like a jerk making some special request. My brownie came out without a candle. I overheard a woman at another table also celebrating a birthday and she got a candle with her birthday dessert. I hate to sound like an ungrateful pick me brat, but I wish this would have been communicated to our waitress. Having to ask about the brownie made me feel awkward. I can deal without a candle I swear!! But why wasn't it communicated to our actual server that we were celebrating? It's really all in the little details. But definitely not a make or break. We visited all the way from Pittsburgh, and talked about the meal all the way home and how delicious everything was. We will absolutely make the trip back.

    Great food, service, ambiance, etc.!!! Celebrated my…read moredaughter's 16th birthday!! Thank you for the great experience!

I will be back. wish you would change the front steps, I'm handicapped.

    Met a friend here. Her suggestion to come here for dinner. This was hard to score. A lot of good…read morebut a few bad. It was crowded on a Tuesday. They have a taco Tuesday thing but it's not a discount it's 3 tacos and you can mix and match from what they make. Which is not really a special in my opinion. The place has a nice patio and inside can fit an about 10 tables of various sizes. And the bar has seating. Cute place. I see it can get crowded on a Friday night or Saturday night. We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big! She also got the chips. Again chips were ok just a bit oily tasting and need salt. The dining area is loud. Lots of people in close proximity talking. It's hard to hear and sound is bouncing. That was a bit of a bummer to try and talk over all the noise. Server was good very attentive and helped with suggestions. Bill for 3 sandwiches, including a burger, a water, coke and cider with green beans appetizer was $81. Not including tip.
