    Tiger prawns
    Roop S.

    We visited Jojo's bar for Father's Day dinner. We sat at the bar but they have plenty of seating and the decor/ambiance was very chill. We ordered wagyu, tiger prawns, delmonico and pasta. Everything tasted great. The prawns are actually sourced from Africa and were HUGE!! Definitely the largest prawns I have ever had.

    My wife and I were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary and we've ventured out of our comfort zone and headed down to chagrin falls. We've heard a lot about JoJo's and wanted to try it. We made an appointment for 7:45 but arrived there about 6:00 just in case we could get in and the maitre d was so nice she sat us right away. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wine given his age he seemed pretty young but he certainly knew his stuff. While you can dress up for this place they were folks there that were certainly dressed down as if they just came from the golf course which is fine but it is chagrin falls and folks are dressed appropriately. This used to be the Old gamekeepers tavern but I've never visited prior to now. I got the bucatini Bolognese my wife got a shrimp pasta and we did split a Caesar salad along with a bottle of wine. I added the meatball I probably shouldn't have because I ended up taking some home that was a lot of food. My wife adored her pasta and as it was our anniversary our server was very nice and brought us up a complimentary dessert. The restaurant is trendy well kept clean and affordable. I would not recommend bringing small children here or toddlers. To do a patio outside and I'm not sure if they share it with another restaurant but we have came back once since our first visit. This time I did get the Great American cheeseburger which was fan flippin-tastic. Overall 10 out of 10 would repeat and will do so.

    My friend and I came here on a Sunday night for dinner. There is no designated lot so be prepared to look for a spot on the nearby streets. The ambiance is cozy and beautiful! We were seated in the back right by the fireplace. The server was attentive and brought us a delicious basket of all kinds of specialty breads and butter. We both ordered the pasta with pine nuts and cream sauce. It was delicious. We ordered desserts as well. I had the carrot cake, which was HUGE and very rich. Prices are on point for other nice restaurants in the area. The menu had lots of good choices. This was a nice variation from the other local dining establishments.

    I LOVE Jojo's. It's my favorite restaurant in all of Cleveland. The food is always served to perfection, the waiters are so kind and thoughtful, and the vibes are immaculate. It's honestly a no brained Taylor Swift are here when she visited. I always feel like I'm treated like family, and nothing I've ever eaten has been bad. We even showed up an hour early for our reservation and they still sat us. Truly, a remarkable experience and dining location in the heart of chagrin falls. Parking is limited, but there's valet and its chagrin falls. If you head down a few streets you'll get a nice walk past the falls, so really there's no losing.

    We went to JoJo's Bar for our anniversary lunch after a day out kayaking. My partner surprised me and requested to have us sit where Taylor and Travis sat. The team at JoJo's made it happen and we were so impressed! Service was stellar and everyone was so kind. The food was also so good. I had wedding soup and a spicy vodka pasta. Both were incredible! My partner had the clam chowder (I think - it was something seafood) and that was the winner in terms of soup. The meat ball that sat on top of my pasta was $12 for just the meatball which was a bit of a shock, but it was for sure worth the $12. We went during lunch time so we did not try the cocktails there, but they looked fabulous. It was a quiet and subtle ambiance that allowed for us to have a great time together!

    I'm going to give Jojo's 4 starts still because they truly have amazing food. But for this takeout order I specifically requested a WELL DONE filet and when I get home and cut into it I get the complete opposite. That was disappointing. Other than that, the food was amazing per usual. Both of the potato dishes are honestly the best things they have at their restaurant.

    Had Sunday brunch at Jo Jo's at 12:30, and had a nice experience. We had a reservation, but we probably didn't need one. Several couples walked in. Our server, Chara, was wonderful. She gave us menus, and time to look at them and visit with friends. The menu had several eggs dishes, shrimp, sandwiches and other items. We all chose the soup and half sandwich. We all enjoyed them. The Wedding soup and clam chowder were hardy in large bowls. The half sandwiches were on thick grain toast and tasted great. Charla was spot on taking care of us. For dessert we all chose coffee with Amaretto. A perfect ending.

    My family plus grandparents came to JoJo's bar the day after Christmas. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. We had a beautiful booth upstairs. We enjoyed the bread service and cocktails. Some in our party would have preferred some Italian bread rather than raisin bread. We had a couple of salmon dishes, Caesar salad, seasonal vegetables, two spaghetti and meatball and one spicy rigatoni with a meatball. Everyone loved their food!

    Meatball with pasta

    Amazing Italian place, good steaks here and although it's a bit classy it's still a place I would go to for my lunch break. The staff is friendly and the food is just .. chefs kiss amazing. Their soups are out of this world but their steaks and steak salads.. mmmm so good. Don't be intimidated by the fancy facade, go here get the food and enjoy the service.

The food was overall, very bland. It was expertly prepared, fresh, and beautiful. But the taste was quite boring. Be prepared to eat a second dinner when you get home. Also be prepared to sit at the bar- this place is very tiny. The vibe is nice. Low ceiling, dimly lit, comfortable cozy. The server/ bartender (I'm pretty sure she was running the whole place) Nikki, was phenomenal. So friendly, good drinks. We started with the oysters which were good. The mignonette sauce was a little different, it had lemon zest in it. It was very good! But the give you laughable amount. Like, a splash. Then we had the fig and prosciutto toast. This was the highlight for us. Tasty all the way around, 4 generous servings on the plate. Jam was so good and the prosciutto was warmed up ever so slightly. I had the hangar steak with some unseasoned boiled carrots. The steak was tender and high quality, but I couldn't taste a bit of seasoning. Also served with a tiny crispy potato pancake. Husband had the halibut special. This had some wasabi crust and if you got a bite of the wasabi it was good. The bites that weren't crusted were boring fish. Again, very fresh and prepared well. Black rice and asparagus also boring. I got a hint of lemon on one bite I tried. We also had the Brussels sprouts, which were charred along with the few pork belly pieces. Husband finished with a whiskey crème brûlée which he enjoyed. He did not, however, enjoy his Dark and Stormy. He said it was all booze and no beer or mix. Sadly, we won't be back.

    We visited 17 River Grille for my mom's birthday (her suggestion, as she had previously been there…read morefor lunch), and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We had an amazing experience. Per our request, our party of six was seated on the outdoor patio overlooking the Chagrin River waterfall, which made for a beautiful setting. One thing to note: you cannot reserve patio seating in advance, but you can request it upon arrival if space is available. We started with four appetizers: *Heavenly Biscuits - AMAZING. *Short Rib Potstickers - Excellent. *Spinach Artichoke Dip - Excellent. *Grilled Artichoke - Good, but not really my style of dish. For entrées, we tried several different items: *Grilled Fish of the Day (Grouper) - Excellent, although the portion was on the smaller side. *Lake Erie Walleye Fish & Chips - Very good. *Thai Steak Noodle Salad - Excellent. *Steak and Frites - Excellent. We also ordered two sides: *Coleslaw - Very good. Is it the best coleslaw I've ever had? No. Is it excellent and worth ordering? Absolutely. *Roasted Baby Yukons - Excellent. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant graciously provided a complimentary dessert sundae. While the gesture was appreciated, I do wish guests were given a choice of dessert. The sundae was fine, but with several outstanding ice cream shops nearby, the ice cream itself was fairly average. Service was quick and efficient overall. There were a few minor areas for improvement: Wet naps would have been appreciated, as we had to request extra napkins multiple times throughout the meal. Service slowed down a bit during the dinner rush. The steak entrée arrived noticeably later than the rest of the main courses, which may have been due to the kitchen being overwhelmed. It also took a little longer than expected to receive extra plates when requested. These were relatively minor issues, however, and did not significantly detract from the evening. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience with great food, a beautiful patio overlooking the waterfall, and solid service. We would gladly return and would certainly recommend it for special occasions or a nice evening out.

The prices feel a couple dollars higher than you'd want them to be ($18 for a smash burger or a 12-inch pizza) but are comparable with similar restaurants in the area. My parents and I split the Medjool dates starter, Crunchy Greens salad and a mushroom pizza and all were very good and enough for all of us to enjoy (sorry, forgot to take pics).

He was laughing when he said it so we let that one go. We ordered the same thing we got last time which was some kind of chicken stew with rice and coconut milk and peanuts because it was delicious the last time we had it. I made the mistake of telling the waiter that my husband had the chicken stroganoff and that was good too that I had tasted his last time he proceeded to tell me there's no sharing and laughing hysterically. I figured he was just trying to be funny? The last time we came to this restaurant, we had four people the bill was $350 because we ordered all kinds of appetizers and desserts. He overheard this and came to the table and said then I think what you need to do is order the $80 plate since you guys are ordering the same thing and remember there's no sharing then he proceeded to say something else about getting me another Coke if I wanted it and my husband had to correct him several times saying she never ordered a coke if you would have actually listened to what we wanted and stop trying to be a comedian ! Then my husband told him to please just put in our order for 2 dinners and some bread or we were going to leave, he said oh are you serious right now? My husband told him yes I am and you are insulting us with your comments about " sharing " its getting to the point where we may need another waiter he quickly walked away. Someone else brought our food to the table but no bread, my chicken stew had 3 little pieces of chicken in it nothing like we had the 1 st time my husband had to give me some chicken with my stew which was a coconut soup with a little white rice all mixed together not like the last time at all. We finally had to ask for the bread which he brought over. The dinner was terrible, but we didn't want to say anything because we just wanted to get out of there. Our whole dinner was ruined. Here's the thing the waiter seemed very off-balance. something is definitely not right with him. I understand he's new but the way he was speaking with us was unprofessional. Don't try to be a comedian. Read the room. And as for his comments about sharing for the last time when when we were here with our daughter and her boyfriend and spent over $300 for the bill, we can taste whoever's dinner we want to taste! And when you're offering tapwater and four dollars for a can of pop and making comments the way he was, I will never ever step foot in this place again too inconsistent with their food and too many other places to go to. So disappointing.

I told him I would arrive within 40 mins and he said to just walk-in. The website says this is fine dining so for someone to answer the phone and discourage reservations was skeptical. When we arrived we were told since we didn't have reservations we had to sit outdoors. Now the forecast said rain in 10mins. So we told the lady at the desk that I spoke to the man that also at the door about reservations. She said no problem we waited about 10 minutes and we were seated. Our waitress Abby was amazing! I wanted a wellness drink and they were all out but she suggested other mocktail options. She then asked if we wanted tap water or sparkling bottle water. I was confused that they don't have filtered water. We got the tap and it smelled like sewer. We then asked for a bottle of sparkling water. And realized the glass cups smelled bad. If you want a wellness drink arrive early when they open around 11am. It was 1pm when I ordered my food. I ordered the Farmer's breakfast, it came with Two eggs any style, choice of crispy bacon or chicken sausage, grilled sourdough, potatoes. The potatoes were crumbs and left overs, a scoop of potatoes. For a $19 meal I couldn't believe what I was being served. The chicken sausage was amazing! The sourdough bread was grilled with no oil or butter. I asked for jelly thinking they would have compote. Instead they have mini jars of jelly. The main difference is that jam is a shelf-stable, fruit-puree preserve made with high amounts of sugar and added pectin. Compote is a chunkier, less sugary fruit sauce cooked quickly without pectin and meant to be eaten fresh.

Since we were hungry, we followed another yelper's advice of getting an appetizer since we were warned the mains can take 30-40 minutes. Ordered the cracklin wings--got the ghost pepper dry rub which was recommended by the staff who also reassured me that it wasn't too spicy given that it was also sweet and came with ranch. Tasted great, super crispy on the outside, chicken not the most juicy but still tender. 4/5. Also ordered the truffle orcchiette, pork chop, and heirloom carrots. The truffle orcchiette had a great al dente texture but surprisingly compared to the other yelper reviews, was saltier than expected. 4/5 Favorites were definitely the pork chop and heirloom carrots. The pork chop came without the bone, already chopped up, and was the he most tender pork chop I've had. 5/5 The carrots were so well seasoned, with a great charred taste and came with an addicting puree. 5/5 Service was fantastic, with great recommendations. While the birthday guest was away from the table, I did sneakily ask if they do anything for birthdays, and the staff said that they do a scoop of ice cream. Since the sticky toffee pudding already came with a scoop of ice cream, they were considerate to do 2 cookies instead--the cookies weren't too sweet and reminded me of brownie batter. Sticky toffee pudding was good. 4/5 Restaurant is located in Pinecrest so parking available as free parking in a garage about a block away or as pay by mobile street parking. Ambience is great, perfect for a nice meal for a date or hangout. Overall a great place to celebrate a special occasion due to all the good food choices and staff who know how to treat birthday guests well.
