Unfortunately, that was not my experience with "Sage Karma Kitchen". We showed up there for a quick dinner. The room was maybe 25% full. Plenty of room for seating. The hostess thought it was a great idea to sit us directly in the scorching sun rather than every other table in the room that would have been shaded... oh well. Our waitress showed up to take our order before we had a chance to even pick up the menus. We asked for just a couple minutes and she cheerfully walked away. Seemingly, never to return. I looked all around for her until I found her leaning on the bar talking to friends. We finally placed our orders, somewhat begrudgingly. My wife had a bowl that she definitely enjoyed very much. She said she would like to return to try it again. I struggled to find anything on the menu that sounded remotely interesting and finally just ordered the hummus appetizer. I fear they left the flavor in the kitchen. It certainly never arrived at my table. When we were ready to leave I had to begin the search once more for our waitress. She was nowhere to be found. I couldn't even enlist the aid of the hostess because she had found a group of her own friends to talk with. Finally, I found our waitress and was able to escape. The two stars is only because my wife enjoyed her bowl. For me... naaa! Too bad. No second chance here.

I recommended this place, and it definitely didn't disappoint. I can't remember our server's name, but please forgive me because she was an absolute sweetheart. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, even with the million questions we had. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with the pork tenderloin and it was delicious! The pork was seasoned perfectly, not too fatty, and paired so well with the rich hollandaise sauce. The biscuit was soft and fresh, and everything came together perfectly. The whole restaurant has such a cozy, homey feel, with great service and delicious food. We'll definitely be back!

It was interesting. Tasted good. I wouldn't order it again, BUT. I would definitely go back to try other pizzas!! The crust was perfect! I look forward to coming back to try other pizza here!! My friend got the pretzel sticks and they looked amazing!!! Definitely recommend Wild Goose!!!

Clean environment. Kid friendly during the day & plenty of seating…read more Nice workers, everyone was friendly. Would recommend grabbing takeaway vs eating in bc lack of waitresses so longer service wait time. Pizza was OK. Not bad, but dough needs improvement. Toppings were great. I am picky though because I have eaten pizza all over the world & make my own, but if you usually just eat chain pizzas then this is way better. I gave this place a shot because a decade ago the pizza was not good, but it has vastly improved. Not a bad menu but pricey compared to similar places (in dtw so not outrageous, and expected). $18+ a pizza, which feeds 2. I will come here again to try other pizzas. Would overall recommend.

Julia's 1902 is located on the ground floor of the historic Willoughby House, is a refreshing…read moreaddition to the local dining scene. The restaurant shares this beautifully restored landmark estate with an inn featuring ten unique suites on the upper floors, creating a destination that feels both elegant and intimate. The dining space is laid out across several rooms filled with antiques, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and fireplaces. This layout not only adds to the sophisticated, fine-dining aesthetic but also helps significantly reduce noise, making for a much more intimate experience. The atmosphere is further elevated by the live music, which strikes the perfect volume to complement the mood without overpowering conversation. The menu, led by Executive Chef Jose Coronado, is interesting because it blends his Guatemalan heritage with Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American influences. It doesn't feel forced, though; the dishes are creative but remain approachable. What stood out to me most was the kitchen's commitment to preparation. Everything is made from scratch on-site, including things you don't always think about--like their house-made ketchup and custom-pickled olives. They also source locally from Kirtland, Willoughby, and Mentor whenever possible, and the seafood and meats tasted noticeably fresh, not frozen. The staff is truly spectacular; you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here, and they were super attentive throughout our visit. One detail I appreciated is their no-tipping policy; they include a 20% service charge on every bill, which goes toward providing their staff with a living wage, health benefits, and paid time off. It makes for a stress-free experience at the end of the meal. The highlights from our meal: * Drinks:Velvet Island Old Fashioned, Enchanted Garden, and the Cherry Royal. * Small Plates:Lightly Cured Halibut, Smoked Royal Miyagi Oysters (the standout for me), Short Rib Croquettes, the seasonal Unagi Smoked Eel, and the house-made focaccia. * Entrées: Yakitori Surf & Turf and the Seared Alaskan Halibut. The setting is unique, and whether you're local or just passing through Northeast Ohio, this is definitely worth a visit if you appreciate scratch-made food, thoughtful hospitality, and a refined atmosphere. I'm looking forward to going back.

This is our 3rd visit (this time with one of our kids) and another absolute perfection (to the point that my daughter indicated that it is in top 5 places she has ever eaten in, and she has been to some great places). For appetizers, we shared Short Rib Croquettes (our absolute favorite dish of the night), Delicate Fried Eggplant, Roasted Rainbow Carrots and Crispy Broccoli (in peanut sauce). Main Courses, my wife and I split Alaskan Halibut and our daughter had Butternut Squash Raviolli. We finish the night off with Lemon Tart and Chocolate Mascarpone Mouse.

The spicy was perfect. There was a steady stream of people coming in to get take out pizza. Great to have a nice pizza place in downtown Willoughby. Our server TJ was helpful. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because of the check out process and overcharging. We were told to pay up front on the way out. We weren't presented a bill. I paid it and left. I did ask for a receipt (yes, I balance to my credit card statement ). We were charged for 3 beverages ( we had two iced teas and one water). Additionally, we were charged $ 2.50 versus $ 2.00 for the cavatelli. Paying, an additional $3.25 than what we should've been charged isn't the end of the world, but please check what you're charged before swiping your payment.

No one got drinks or food either though. 4 kids were "working"--the one looked like he was 10! The main thing was that we found hair in our food! The one kid told us they'd give us our pizza 50% off. When we paid no one knew about that so they gave us a card for a free pizza. Seriously?! We picked this place because it was a family owned place.
