My experience here was amazing…read more To start, I am not from the area whatsoever. I couldn't find the storefront so I called the business. The gentleman explained exactly where to go and event came out of the door to help wave me in. I really appreciated the customer service. I dined on Sunday, February 26th around 12:30 p.m. and my waitress was wonderful. I believe her name started with a K. She was helpful without being overbearing. As a solo diner, she made me feel welcome and at-ease. I got the Combo #4 and added a pound of King Crab legs. I requested garlic butter with medium spice and added an egg. This all came with potatoes and corn and the food came out perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was pleasantly surprised that the egg was not overdone. I was surprised at the volume of crab I received. I got so much crab I was struggling to finish! My husband is sadly allergic to shellfish so when I eat it I am on my own. I was so happy with my experience and will certainly be back when I am in town!

I also bought a side of bang bang sauce to dip and that was very good. We will definitely be back.

I called to let them know, and the young male cashier who answered the phone acted like I was bothering him. He said he would "go ask the manager what to do," put me on hold, and then hung up on me. When I called back, he hung up again without saying anything. So I drove up there -- even though I didn't really have the time my because fiancé recently had surgery on his leg so I'm taking care of him-- and yet things got even worse. In person, the same cashier cut me off while I was speaking, told me to my face that I was wrong, and said he had already checked the order (which clearly wasn't true). When I tried to explain, he got loud, threw my receipt on the floor, and kept arguing with me in front of other customers. His tone, attitude, and behavior were unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, stayed calm, and offered to make the missing items for me -- which I appreciated but while speaking with him the cashier would interject with rude, condescending and callous remarks, trying to continue the argument. The cashier placed the bag on the counter and refused to even acknowledge me. He just stared away like I wasn't standing there. The manager saw this too, and ended up moving him to the back room and handing me the food himself. My little sister was also disrespected when she came in to pick up our initial order. He would say "I can't really help you" and would walk away to sit on his phone and put his feet up on the counter. How are you the cashier manning the counter and can't give someone their order?. He gave the same response to another lady as well. We usually go to the Lee's Seafood Boil in Solon. The food is amazing there and the customer service is some of the best I've ever had. While the one on Lee Rd is the exact opposite and they're extremely greasy in comparison. We will never be returning to the Lee Rd location and will forever stick with Lee's In Solon. Manager: 4/5 - respectful, professional, and made it right. Cashier: 0/5 - rude, dishonest, disrespectful, and completely out of line. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. No one deserves to be treated like that. I won't be coming back unless serious changes are made -- starting with that cashier.

Lobster and pho, served at the same restaurant?? I'm in!!…read more I was out of town and did a search on Yelp for "lobster" and this place popped up. I love both lobster and pho so I drove from Cleveland to go here. We had the roti canai as an app, I had the lobster pho and my husband got the lobster roll. The roti was a great starter. My lobster pho had a huge lobster tail in it with seafood pho broth. It was delicious! My husband said the lobster roll was one of the best. The prices were VERY reasonable. My lobster pho was only $21! I know I'm from the city in Orlando so maybe I have those prices compared to, but I felt everything here was so affordable Service was great. The lady who waited on us was very nice Loved this place. Wish we have a spot like this back home in Orlando!

Sixteen people joined us on the patio last evening. It took forever to get a first and only rounds of drink arrived in about 40 minutes. The food came out at about an hour and a half. We were missing salads and side dishes and the usually amazing fried chicken was overcooked. One of my friends called there at 5:30 to have a bottle of wine delivered to my table. He tipped the hostess $10 for the service. As we were leaving at 7:30, our waiter brought the bottle over. The wine went home with me. Fortunately, the patio was a great meeting spot for my family. Everyone had fun despite the problems in the kitchen. I hope that things get better at Russo's. My friends and I were planning to go there on Thursday, too. Not going to risk it again.

Since I was in the mood for something warm with seafood, I went for the seafood etoufee. We don't have a lot of Creole food where I'm from, so I wanted to make the most out of my Cleveland trip and have some while I was there. The food came out in around 15-20 minutes and was very yummy. I was a little confused because the server called it a seafood jambalaya instead of etoufee, but it was listed correctly on my receipt so maybe those terms are interchangeable. There was a generous portion of crab meat and shrimp, and I enjoyed the flavor of the broth--flavorful but not too rich or strong. I ordered a blueberry mocktail as well and enjoyed that too. The interior was pretty nice, and they had some sports playing on the TVs. Looked like a good mix of bar seats, smaller high tops, and bigger booths in the back for all sizes of groups.

I feel like if it's national oyster Day and customers come in for oysters the waiter should've clarified the special or offered it. Overall the service was slow, despite sitting at the bar.

I'm not sure I'll be back, because I'm not satisfied with my first experience. If you pay cash, they ain't give you coin change back. There's also an automatic 20% service charge added to checks.
