Lovely atmosphere sitting in the indoor "covered patio"! Food and drinks were so good! Want to recognize our sever Rose who was amazing! So friendly, helpful with the menu and patient with us as we took more time catching up before ordering! read more

Their pizza and salads are amazing. We've eaten in-house and get take out!! I love their takeout SOOOOO MUCH!! We are takeout people, so it's great to have this as an otion as well. Eating in house was also delicious, but the service was a teence slow... but we believe it was a one-time issue since it was pouring out. We will be back nonetheless, but until then, we will continue to get takeout for sure. read more

I got the pecan-crusted grouper. It was pretty mediocre. It wasn't very flavorful. I tend to prefer my food a bit saltier, so I added salt to the fish to bring some flavors. The sauce with the fish was a bit sweet. The dish also accompanied with sweet potatoes and bacon. Nonetheless, I didn't think the sweet potatoes go well with the grouper at all. I would prefer some greens with the grouper. However, the fresh shucked roasted grilled corn was super good. The garlic mash potatoes were pretty generic to me. I didn't taste any garlic flavor to it. Their breads were pretty good. Their center cut filet mignon was okay. I didn't like the texture of the filet mignon at all. It seemed a bit rough to me. Overall, it was a good restaurant. I would give it a 3.5 stars if I could read more

Great attentive service. The name is deceiving!! I thought this maybe bar food. It was anything but!! I had the special pecan crusted grouper with sweet potatoes. It was prepared to perfection. The Brussel sprouts and asparagus were tasty as sides. Extensive wine selection. read more

Expensive high end place on the east side (not known for its food gotta go to the west side for that). Service was great, I only had drinks here but would come to try the food. I sat at the bar and it was good, albeit vibe was a bit pretentious. read more

Outstanding food and service! The covered patio was very comfortable. Top steaks sides, and deserts

I tried this place for my dads 50th birthday. He wanted to try it out. It's very pricey but a very nice restaurant. The service was alright, but the food was very good. I got the Chicken Parmesan and it was excellent. My brothers Cajun Shrimp was good and the Salmon with Garlic Potatoes was also good, but we all agreed that the Chicken Parmesan was the best. Overall good experience and great food. read more

Another visit another great experience! One of my top 5 restaurants in Cleveland. This is a second time we went to ML tavern. First time it was me and my wife for the date night and yesterday with a bigger party of 9. Place is quite nice. Service and ambiance are very good. We have tried almost all appetizers on the menu and our favorites are: tuna tartare and veal stuffed spicy peppers. Beef Carpaccio was good but we had better. Bang bang Shrimps some people liked and some found them to be quite average. Big selection of main dishes without overcrowding the menu. My wife loved the fish dishes both times. Yesterday she had halibut and it was superb. Children had burgers which they let them customized they all liked them. Ribeye Steak was good Lobster mashed potatoes are excellent!!! will come back today to get them in carry out We tried almost all deserts and they were all good except for apple pie. Apples didn't taste good - probably because it's out of season for apples. read more

So good! Start with the bread and butter, we had to ask for more. Some of the best we ever had. The carpaccio was also fabulous. Good wine selection and we had steak for dinner which we both thought was wonderful read more

let me please start with the positive...our server was extremely attentive and charming. The manager on duty did all he could (and more) to save the evening - but there's only so much the front of the house can do. Our server did an excellent job of drilling down to determine how one of our party wanted his steak...warm/pink = medium. Not once but twice he sent it back as it was closer to rare than medium. As a consequence - everyone else in the party waited to start their meals. While eventually his was returned correctly, by this time ours was stone cold. Moreover, it was tasteless. The asparagus was burnt, the mushrooms were flavorless and the caesar salad was unremarkable. Again - the staff did all they could and were appreciated. The back of the house was beyond redemption. read more

On Monday, December 26, 2022, I made a 7:45 reservation for Wednesday, December 28, 2022. which your restaurant text me on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, to confirm. Please note again that the reservation was made two days in advance and confirmed. Upon our arrival, we were told that it would be a 30-minute wait. We were then offered bar seating or a high-top table in front of the entrance door. Of course, we declined that table due to cold weather and the fact that I have a hip problem, so when making the reservation I made sure to request a standard table. After a 35-minute wait and watching an empty table for about 10 minutes we were seated on an enclosed patio, which was okay a little drafty but otherwise, it was all right. My servicer was great, and the food was average. However, I will not return this was my first and last visit. I can accept a 5 to 10-minute wait with a reservation, but a 30 to 40-minute wait time with a confirmed reservation is unacceptable. read more

We come to ML every so often and sit at the bar. Yesterday December 9th we wondered in sat at the bar and chatted with a delightful woman bartender. We were super excited to see branzino on the menu. Not so excited but what appeared on our plates. A very overcooked piece of fish that simply tasted charred and very dry. There was a side lemon butter sauce that had separated and could not save this poor fish. The broccoli was also over cooked which was odd since the last time we ordered it was delicious. Fortunately the salad was delicious so we didn't leave hungry. We did take the fish and broccoli home as treats for our chickens. read more

i had a friend having a milestone birthday and wanted to surprise his family with a first round of drinks. I called on the day of their reservation and gave my name cc#, my friends name, and time. Never heard from my friend because it was not taken care of as the manager Grant said " slipped through the cracks." I called, stopped in and the management could not get it together. Now I am hearing from friends that they have complaints as well. Poor service. ML TAVERN THERE IS COMPETITION OUT THERE, MAY FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS!!!! read more

I love throwing 5 stars at a deserving establishment and ML Tavern earned its strips on a recent business trip to the East side of Cleveland. Recommended by a fellow Elite Yelper-friend from from Northeastern Ohio, ML Tavern is one of three well-regarded eateries in the Beachwood-Moreland Hills area owned by the same group. With an early reservation, our evening started with our server Adonis telling us a bit about the restaurant after determining that we were out-of-towners. The vibe here is comfortable...an unpretentious yet clubby feel w/ rich and colorful oils tastefully covering the walls. Loved it! At the suggestion of the sommelier, we started with dynamite Pino Noir...a 2013 Adelsheim from Oregon's Willamette (damn it) Valley...clean water for sure. We tried a trio of amazing appetizers including the Veal Sausage Stuffed Hot Peppers, an Ahi Tuna Tartare Avocado Cocktail and the Baby Heirloom Tomato & Mozzarella Salad. All drew raves. For entrees, our group tried two versions of Simply Grilled fish including the Florida Grouper as well as the Rainbow Trout from Boise, Idaho. We complimented the entrees with sides of Steamed Broccoli, Fresh Shucked Roasted Grilled Corn and the crowning blow...a bowl of Maine Lobster Mashed Papas. Wow! What an over-the-moon combo of atmosphere, service and fab food! The ML satisfied in every way possible. Check out the delicious pictures. read more

Went here for my husband's birthday last week. We ate at the bar and he decided to have a margarita. When we got the bill for two margaritas, they were 17.75 each , and they were served in a small rocks glass with lots of ice and not any special tequila. With tax and tip this is $23 each. I don't think I will be going back there. read more

My wife and I went to ML Tavern recently to have dinner and we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. It turned out to be a perfect evening! The restaurant is very warm and inviting. Even though it was very crowded, the host was able to seat us at a very special table facing the fireplace. The food is amazing, every course was delicious and was prepared perfectly. Finally, we can't say enough great things about our server, Stuart, who was exceptional! He is very experienced, knowledgeable, professional, attentive, personable, and very friendly. Having him as our server really topped off our perfect dining experience on our special night! Our thanks to Stuart and the rest of the great staff, keep up the great work! We have been to ML Tavern several times and it never fails to deliver!!! read more

This restaurant needs new managemen! so disappointing to see what used to be a great place, and now it's a disaster. Starting with the reservations (we reserved a table at 7 p.m. on the patio, the Nice area under a roof. They told us the reservation was pretty much in the parking lot! the guy at the reservation insisted that was the table assigned to us. when we said we ant to sit in the inside outside area, the guy found every excuse under the sun NOT to sit us there. Nobody was seating on the sidewalk because nobody wants to sit in a parking lot to eat! we said we don't want to sit there. we saw some friends who were eating on the inside patio and they were upset because their service was so horrible they couldn't believe it was ML (they actually had their wedding there because we used to like ML so much). The reservation system must specify Outdoor it's the PARKING LOT! and if they are going to use that as a seating area they should buy Bushes and trees and block the space... but there isn't enough space to do that! read more

Had a great meal at the ML Tavern. The restaurant was set up very nice to keep everyone separate. They have a nice drink menu with a great signature Manhattan. Came here for steak and was not disappointed. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were very tasty. Been to most of the high profile steak places in the area and the ML was as good or better and much less pretentious. read more

A great place to eat dinner. The menu is good and I highly recommend it. Parking can be a little bit tricky when the parking lots fills in during a busy time. read more

ML Tavern - Steakhouses Near Me - Moreland Hills, Ohio

Had dinner at ML and came away with a different view of the place than I'd had in the past. Prior, I'd considered them a higher end steakhouse. Now, I'd say they are a few notches above average on the food end of the spectrum, and they are very good with service and atmosphere. I may be at that point where I know I can make an outstanding steak at home and know that it will be exactly the way that I want it. So, I ordered the Walleye. Not sure if I lucked out but it was the best piece of fish I've had in years, and cooked perfectly. The lemon butter was a perfect touch to the dish. read more

This restaurant has an absolutely gorgeous interior, but that's where the magic ends. The food is mediocre, the prices uber-expensive, and the service is flawed and inconsistent. My husband, mother-in-law, and I dined here a couple of weeks ago on the later side of a moderately busy evening. Our server was cloyingly polite in a very fake way, and while that normally wouldn't bother me if everything arrived at the table as we ordered it, sadly, that did not happen. He forget to include the olives on the martini we ordered and we had to ask repeatedly for items. The bartender was also apparently having an off night, because my partner ordered a classic sidecar (cognac, triple sec, lemon juice), only to have it arrive having been made with lime juice. This is a rookie mistake, and when you're paying that much for a drink, it should be made expertly. We ordered the "ML Wedge" salad. It was slathered in gobs of sickeningly-sweet french dressing. Sigh. I cursed myself for apparently not having read the menu closely enough, because to me, a wedge salad should have bleu cheese dressing, not french...and no salad should arrive that drowned in such an overly sweet dressing!! It honestly felt like something I'd wind up with at an Applebee's. The steaks here arrive a la carte, which is ridiculous to me, considering how expensive they are: My ribeye was $45.......just for the steak. Not even a tiny scoop of mashed potatoes, a stalk of broccoli, nothing. Worse, I ordered my steak on the blue side of rare, and instead it arrived past medium-rare, closer to medium! Again, when you're paying this much for your food, it should be made correctly the first time. That says to me that the chefs don't pay attention to the food they're making, and given that the entirety of my dish was one simple thing, a steak, nothing else, that's a crying shame. I didn't send it back because I didn't want to wait another 20-30 minutes for my food while everyone else at my table ate...but honestly, it was a tremendous let-down, and I felt angry about having to pay so much for something so unappealing. The only part of the meal that didn't dash my expectations was the side dishes, which are big enough to share. We ordered the gorgonzola mac'n'cheese, which was addictive, and the carmelized brussel sprouts, which were also tasty, if not terribly over-priced. The desserts here are gigantic (you essentially get your own 5-6" pie) and can easily feed 3-5 people, depending on your appetite. Sadly, they are also somewhat bland. Look, I've been to some rather swanky steak joints in my time, and ML Tavern simply isn't one of the greats. The price tag might lead you to believe you'll be getting the Real Deal, but despite the beautiful interior trappings, it's a mirage: Once you unwrap the present, you'll only find a cheap, plastic toy. In fact, in my opinion, the only way to properly enjoy this restaurant and feel like you've gotten your money's worth is if it's going on the expense account. I would not go here again, nor would I recommend it. I'm sure there are far better steakhouses in the Cleveland suburbs, and I intend to find one! read more

Good food at expensive prices. Everything costs something. Okay portions. Very clean restaurant and great service. Okay atmosphere.

Not bad at all for a "suburban restaurant". Steak is the way to go, although they have a good amount of seafood and fish on their menu. My favorite dish hands down is the beef carpaccio appetizer. ML Tavern is affiliated with Hyde Park. I initially had worries about the steak as Hyde Park in Beachwood had been off with getting the temp right on their steaks recently. The steak here however, did not disappoint and had everything one could want in a steak -- a well charred, caramelized outer shell and a juicy, tasty, marbly interior. They had served it hot with the "doneness" right on the money that night. There are different sauces to choose from, and this one was served oscar style, topped with bernaise, asparagus and crab meat. Trout Almondine was well-executed with the skin very crispy on the outside, yet retaining the sweet, flaky texture of the fish. The place was well appointed and made to look like an English Pub with the wood paneling and all. There is outdoor seating, and free valet service which I felt was pointless other than maybe to give it a high-end feel. Our server was attentive and friendly. Overall, I'm a fan and will come back. read more

As I sad in my last review - amazing patio terrace! They have the most comfortable seating for a restaurant. The terrace is shaded from direct sun, but is open air on the sides which is great. It is designed as an outdoor room and is really cozy. For starters I ordered the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. This was very good and some shaved cheese and a small salad with a horseradish dressing was served with it. I also tried the Veal Sausage Stuffed Hot Peppers. These were a bit disappointing as the dish was not spicy at all. The dish was good, but did not have anywhere near the amount of spice I was expecting with hot being in the name of the dish. I really liked the tomato sauce however. It was sweeter, but a great addition to the dish. For my main I got the Peacn-Crusted Grouper which was highly recommended by both our waiters. I made a good choice! The dish was sweet, but not overpowering. The grouper was fully crusted on the top, but the pecans were still soft. The vanilla maple butter poured over everything was a delicious component of the dish. The side that came with it of sweet potato and bacon hash was really good as well. You can order this as a side with any meal as well. My friend got the Chicken Parmesan. Do note that even though listed by two other pastas on the menu, this dish itself does NOT come with pasta. If you want pasta with this dish you would have to order a side of it. The waiter messed this one up I think by not upselling and asking if pasta was wanted with the dish or if the side of Orecchiette was wanted. The portion on this entree is crazy too. It comes with 4 massive chicken breasts. The plate was mounded as if there was pasta under the chicken, but there was not - the chicken was just that large. It would make more sense cost wise for the restaurant to give two pieces of chicken with pasta instead of four pieces of chicken - a bit unreasonable. It worked out though that I got to try and entire piece since my friend could only eat three. The chicken was good - thick pieces of white meat. Tender. Thin breading. And a good tomato sauce with a provolone and mozzarella cheese blend. The dessert menu looked kind of boring to me, with only four options (chocolate moose, fudge sundae and something else) but I was blown away by the Butter Cake. It was warm - just baked with a slightly crunchy top - which was a nice surprise. The fruit and ice cream provided went perfectly together and the portion was pretty big and certainly large enough for 2 if not 3 people to share. I tend to forget about this shopping center restaurant, but I will certainly have to stop back in again soon. I would order everything that I ate again next time. Because of the menu design, you can always find something to eat here. Even something healthy as many fish options are simply prepared. read more

Stop! Wait a minute! This place is just amaaaaaazing!!! Keith, the Manager is a pleasure at the door or table side. Bambi makes delightful drinks and...well...the food is just a dance on the palate. Whether, it's the happy hour or the regular menu, all is a dazzle for the taste buds. If weather permits, do sit on the enclosed patio where the side curtains are lifted and you can enjoy the outdoors while "indoors". I love everything about this place whether coming off the golf course in sports gear or dressed in my stilettos. Enjoy! read more

ML has been on my short list of restaurants to try for sometime now. I finally had an opportunity to go last night. Just my husband and myself. We dined on a Wednesday evening, the restaurant was moderately full, with social distancing in place. We opted to sit in the enclosed terrace area, which was cozy, warm and inviting! Our server greeted us a short time later, and we proceeded to order. We ordered wine, and we started with an appetizer special that was not on the menu....sautéed shrimp with toasted baguette slices. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, slightly spicy with diced tomatoes in a garlicky saucy, perfect for spreading on the accompanying bread! We the ordered entrees and sides, which are a la carte. I ordered the chicken milanese with a side of broccoli and my husband ordered the chicken parmesan with a side of pasta/sauce. We also had complimentary warm Parker house rolls with butter, while we waited for our food. Our entrees arrived fairly quickly and the portions were generous. We each received 4 palm sized pieces of perfectly cooked chicken. The chicken was warm, tender and crispy, nice sauced, based on what we ordered. The sides were generous as well, definitely enough for 2-3 people. Needless to say we definitely had more than enough to take home, to enjoy for dinner the next day. We will absolutely return to ML, we enjoyed the food, the service and the ambiance! read more

I came to pick up my dinner & was told, "whoa, you scared me, you look like the unibomber" because I had on a hoodie and sunglasses. Then was asked, "are you here for Uber or DoorDash?". With an $80 takeout meal with a $10 tip, of course I'm highly offended and will not be back to ML TAVERN. That's not something that you even jokingly say to patrons. I'll stick to Capitol Grill. read more

My son recommended ML Tavern about 5 years ago. We keep on coming back since then. From their excellent service to their outstanding Menu the experience is unforgettable be it a quiet dinner to a celebration ML Tavern on Chagrin Blvd. is the place to be! My personal favorite for dinner is the Lobster Crab Cake. An item that was also a family favorite was the Lobster Mashed Potatoes. Every bite of the potato had lobster in it. Sure hope that they bring it back soon! The steaks are cooked to perfection and the FISH magnificent! read more

Terrible experience and service is sub par for an expensive restaurant such as this..food is also overpriced and not worth it. Management seems to not have a good grip on their staff. Won't be returning. read more

ML booked a private party without consideration of other guests despite reservations having been made. This place would rather save a few dollars by understaffing than providing decent service. As a result this place lost our business in addition to our friends and others we can contact. ML "comped " our entree's only. Heaven forbid it should take care of the entire meal-a disgrace! The entrees were poorly prepared. Medium rare means "pink"-not BLACK and the broccoli was supposed to be cooked- not raw and hard. The kitchen probably rushed it when it was told that we had been seated for almost 2 hours. Our experience tonight was much better. Other than our burgers being overcooked the meal was good and service friendly. The kitchen expediter was asleep at the switch to allow our food to be served NOT as ordered. We had an enjoyable time.helped by the friendliness of our server Amanda. read more
