    Didn't get a photo of all of our food, but it was all very delicious and service was great. Such a cute cozy spot. My salmon in puff pastry was pretty salty, but all in all still would recommend and return.

    This was my last day of vacation, and was met with a total miss. I made reservations, and when we went in there were multiple tables, but we were sat in the table directly in front of the kitchen and it began a night of being irritated. The service was beyond awesome as they have been before, but the meal was an uphill battle. The Wild Mushroom Gnocci appetizer was overcooked and the gnocci was rubbery. And then we waited, and waited, and waited. Our server told us multiple times we could have a free dessert for the wait. 50 minutes after we ordered our food arrived. I ordered the duck with fig sauce and potatoes. Mashed potatoes stole the show, fig sauce was amazing. Duck cut was pretty brutal. Was akin to having a short rib or prime rib cut rather than duck with the fat content being ridiculous with what I was given. My partner had the bacon chicken mac and cheese and the only thing that could be tasted was the bacon I've been here before, and they get busy. But I've never had such a bad experience with ALL of their food before let alone the experience. It was extremely disappointing and I can honestly say despite the server being absolutely incredible, I don't see myself returning.

    A nice intimate dinner for 2. A very quaint restaurant with charm. The waitress staff are very attentive they made great suggestions. The lobster bisque was extremely rich but I would order it again and again. The salmon was nice and moist.

    We have been to Nemos one other time for an anniversary. The service was amazing and our experience and food was amazing then. Unfortunately this visit was not. The service was exceptional but the food was not. The duck was not prepared well and the gnocchi appetizer was good flavor but rubbery and overcooked. The poor server did apologize three times for the 45 minute wait for our food, and on the last apology offered to give us a complimentary dessert. Unfortunately we wont be back, for the price you expect more and Nemos did not deliver more. Ill go to Hyde Park, Cabin club, or angry bull next time.

    The food here is always amazing. Not only do they have a great menu, but they offer specials and their drinks and service are top-notch. Always a pleasure.!!

    I came to Nemo Grille with my colleagues for dinner. We had a pretty large group and they seated us in the semi-outdoor patio area facing the street. My experience at this place was very good and I would definitely go again! Parking is easy with the lot connected to the restaurant. They had a wide variety of wines and beers to select from. I got a Pinot Grigio and people in my group ordered various wines and beers. Our waiters and waitresses were attentive to detail and refilled our waters and brought more drinks as people finished their glasses. We ordered appetizers for sharing: mushroom gnocchi, tuna tartare nachos, calamari, and hummus. Each person ordered our own entree. I had the Chilean sea bass and it was wonderful. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their entrees too. My only small complaint about the place is that the giant heater up on top was really bothering me. When it is on, it heats my entire face (I was facing the heater) and I felt a bit dehydrated from that heat, yet my toes are cold. I wish the heater was set up on the bottom outer edge of the area instead of the top. Heat rises... so having the heater on the bottom would make more technical sense... maybe something for the restaurant to consider during the next remodel.

    Exquisite dish - Chilean Sea Bass with  artichoke hearts and gnocchi in a cream sauce.

    A friend mentioned this restaurant a few months ago and since I had a late afternoon meeting with a client in Avon decided to do an early dinner with my wife. This is what I would call an excellent neighborhood restaurant. Really good quality food, excellent service, beautiful decor in a converted upscale home. You could go formal or casual here and feel comfortable. Great wine list - excellent service from a team of tenured staff. We will be back!

    This was our fifth visit to Strip Steakhouse in Avon, and once again it did not disappoint. The…read morerestaurant itself is beautiful, it's a restored old barn, which gives it such a warm and unique atmosphere. We were seated on the second floor at a more intimate table, which made the evening feel even more special. We were celebrating two birthdays, mine and my son's and it ended up being such a great night. This was our son's first time at this restaurant. To start, we ordered the Girl Power appetizer, which was a half pound of breaded scallops served with dipping sauces. It ended up being about five large scallops and they were excellent, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. The pretzel bread brought to the table was also fantastic, served with regular butter and a whipped peanut butter butter that was surprisingly delicious. For drinks, I ordered the seasonal mule, a blood orange mule that was refreshing and perfectly balanced. My younger son was excited to see mocktails on the menu and ordered the Berry Mint Refresher, which he loved. For our entrées, my husband ordered one of the steak specials, the Beverly, cooked rate with mushrooms and garlic butter. Myself and two sons all ordered the Stripper, their New York strip steak. My younger son had his cooked rare with garlic butter, while my older son and I ordered ours medium rare with garlic butter. The steaks were cooked perfectly and incredibly flavorful. For sides, we shared the garlic mashed potatoes and the Gruyère mac & cheese, both of which were fantastic and complemented the steaks perfectly. Our server, Walter, was amazing from start to finish. He walked us through the menu, checked in with us several times, and made sure everything was perfect. His service really elevated the experience. Since we were celebrating two birthdays, we were surprised with a lovely small cake brought to the table so we could celebrate both occasions. It was such a thoughtful touch. Strip Steakhouse is truly top-notch and, in my opinion, one of the best steakhouses in the Cleveland area. It never disappoints, and we're already looking forward to our next special event to celebrate and visit.

    First time here after many recommendations. Hard to find off Detroit Rd in Avon. Sits way back in a…read morevery narrow entrance to various shops/businesses. We passed it up once and nearly missed it a second time. It's a big renovated barn, and the first floor is not very special, with a few tables and a small bar. Thankfully we ate on the second floor which was gracious and spacious. The prices are white cloth but weirdly the tables are clothless. Almost like a white/cream butcher block surface. And the barn atmosphere apparently lulls some guests into thinking jeans and T's are appropriate. I didn't care for that and wish the restaurant had a nicer dress code. Anyway, the star here is steak, and it didn't disappoint. As the specials were being rattled off (expertly by Shane who was terrific for us) it became clear that I wasn't gonna get the cut I wanted, as they hovered between 90-120 bucks. I can't believe where beef is in America right now...shameful. We settled for "Jake's Steaks" which were economical 10 oz sirloins perfectly prepared and very satisfying. Sides were big enough to share. A lobster pasta had al dente penne but the crustacean was fishier than I had hoped. Zero complaint about the luscious, rich, cheesy scalloped potatoes. A complimentary birthday cake was a classy touch for us. With a credit card dent of nearly 200 bucks, I wanted it to be 5 stars, but it came up just a sliver short. Still an enjoyable special occasion night out.

We're a family of four and ordered totally different things -- and every single dish was exceptional. Our 6-year-old got a simple cheese quesadilla with rice. The quesadilla was perfectly fine... but the rice? She was in an actual trance. We've never seen her so focused and actually eating the food we ordered her. Parents of young grazers know that's basically a five-star review on its own. Our son ordered the ribeye and devoured it. He wasn't crazy about the rice and refried beans (he's picky about sides in general -- that says nothing about their flavor), but the steak itself was incredibly flavorful and gone in minutes. The grilled veggies on top weren't his thing either, so we brought them home and I'll be turning them into a stir fry later My husband ordered the enchiladas rancheros -- three enchiladas with three different sauces, served with rice and beans. Each sauce had its own distinct flavor profile, and all three were equally incredible. That's rare. I ordered the ahi tuna ceviche and I would drive the 2.5 hours from home just for that dish. Bright, fresh, perfectly balanced -- absolutely outstanding. Honestly not sure the leftovers are going to make it back to NY. On top of the food, the service was next level. Attentive, warm, efficient, and genuinely kind. You can tell when a place is well-managed, and this is one of them. Ambiance-wise, it was modern, clean, and comfortable. It wasn't overly busy when we were there, which made it even more enjoyable. TVs throughout, a really cool-looking bar area, and a booth that comfortably fit our family of four without feeling cramped. This is officially on our family's "must stop" list whenever we're anywhere near the area.

When we first got there they seemed confused about our reservations. Once seated they didn't have enough menus for 6 of us (they only had 3), most Mexican restaurants you are in and out, super fast. We were there for three hours. We didn't get our food until an hour and half in there, it was so slow with asking for the receipt, drinks etc. We had to ask for chips and salsa which we didn't get until after they brought the drinks (waited like 40 mins for that), once the food was brought out, my moms chicken fajitas were overcooked, my dads steak fajitas were burnt. We showed the waitress and she said "sorry" but that was it. Two of us got the spicy burrito and there was barely any topping to it. If you are going for a drink that is fine but I would not go for their food as there are better Mexican restaurants in the area.

We hosted approximately 40 guests in one of their private event spaces, which included a beautiful patio and provided the perfect setting for our family and friends to come together. The private room gave us the opportunity to share toasts, speeches, memories, and support one another in a comfortable and intimate atmosphere. The food was absolutely outstanding. We selected a variety of appetizers along with an open bar, and every item was delicious. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everything was. A special thank you goes to Erin, the manager, who was exceptional from start to finish. She promptly returned calls and emails, met with me personally at the restaurant, and was present throughout the entire event to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a difficult time much easier for our family. The staff was equally impressive. Our bartenders were friendly, attentive, and fantastic throughout the evening. As an added touch, the team even packed individual containers of leftover food for guests to take home, which was greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend Antica highly enough. Whether you're planning a celebration, shower, family gathering, or memorial reception, their food, service, and hospitality are truly exceptional. Thank you for helping us honor my father in such a meaningful way.
