    Had another special night out at the Chagrin Valley's hidden gem Sara's Place. The dinning room is so quaint + beautiful-I thought that I was back home in New England. Not sure why but we had not one but two servers--Hannah + Marie-which made our experience twice as nice. I started off with the Tuscan white bean -ate every drop-phenomenal. My main course was my go to dish Eggplant Parmigiana-just amazing. Wife + friend had the Bone in Pork chop w/ homemade BBQ sauce-15 minutes after being served it looked like the Natural History museum-only bones! Dessert was the homemade brownie with vanilla ice cream-fantastic. We all talked about when we can come back!

    Ambience is excellent. Quality of food is decent but not magnificent. Prices are very fair. Service is reasonable, but not excellent (had to ask for water to be refilled). Menu is varied and extremely friendly for those that may be gluten intolerant. Wine and customized cocktail menu was excellent. The single biggest challenge was booking -- cannot be done online or through Open Table. This created friction. Nobody answered when calling -- I had to leave a message. And then received a call back which I missed. Phone tag doesn't work for me.

    COVID,that's Why!!!

    Food is of the highest quality. Service is impeccable. Unlike most restaurants in the Hunting Valley, you go to Sara's Place NOT to be seen.

    Be nice to your waitstaff and tip generously! Eating brunch here on Sunday before going apple…read morepicking reminded me of just how hard they work and how terrible so many people treat these lovely folk. That's my PSA for today. As for everything else, this little diner is definitely locally owned and locally loved. It was only a few minutes from the farm I took my bf to go apple picking on the far east side of Cleveland. FYI!!! - The menu online is incredibly outdated!! Each thing is about 50% more expensive. Use the attached menu pictures to get an accurate idea of prices in late 2025. This is no longer a cheap place to eat. :( After about 15 minutes of waiting, we were sat at the counter right next to the cash register and could hear everything the staff said. I was enlightened as to how terrible they are treated by stingy, entitled customers. I felt terrible about my impatience at getting seated and getting our food but it seems like all the staff and cooks were just burnt out today. They still did a pretty good job at making yummy food though! My bf got a skillet with home fries and wheat toast. This was a lot of food and the toast was very thicccc and very heavily buttered. I ordered a gyro salad with tzaziki sauce and it came with buttered triangles of pita bread. Since we weren't prepared for the price changes, we just got water to drink. We both were shocked at how LARGE the portions were! The gyro meat was so good and the pita bread was nice and lightly buttered. My bf was a huge fan of the sausage in his skillet. Because we didn't want to leave the food in the car for a few hours, we ate everything and did not have leftovers although we could have! Not sure how well my gyro salad would taste as leftovers though so it was probably best I ate everything. Lastly, I made sure to thank them and tip generously. I hope everyone else there did the same. I ended up paying about $42.

    Nice diner in Chesterland. Came for breakfast they also serve lunch. They are open until 2 pm…read more They were very busy when we got there at 9:15 am. The main dining area was full the side area was getting full. Our server was very friendly. Hometown vibes. The portions were large. We ended up taking some home. O tried my husband's sausage and biscuits. The biscuits were delicious ! Fluffy and perfect. The gravy was good. It needed a bit more flavor via spices like salt and pepper. Easy to add, but better cooked in. I had the Hercules gyro with eggs and wheat toast. Loved the seeded wheat thick toast. The tzatziki sauce was very nice. Gyro meet was tasty. The shredded hash towns were perfectly cooked. My mother in law got the godfather. The guido Italian sausage looked good and she said it was great. Would definitely come back!

    On vacation and had a buy one get one free coupon offer for First Watch and found this location…read moreacross from the hotel. This location was very consistent aesthetically compared to other locations I have been to with a farmhouse vibe and decor. We were greeted and seated immediately in a table in the dining area upon arrival. Our waiter came by to take our drink order and then brought waters to the table and then came back to take our food order. I had The Works Omelette and I customized it to remove the sausage and ham and add avocado. I had a side of fruit and English muffin. I asked for the homemade salsa that comes with the Bacodo omelette. When I got my order the salsa was missing and the server did not come to follow up to ensure that our order was complete. My omelette was cooked perfectly and had a generous amount of toppings. I was very satisfied with the portion size and quality of the food and they were very accommodating with the customization of my order. My party also had the Trifecta breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon and a waffle as well as the Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich with potatoes. The service could have been a bit more attentive as by the time she checked on us, I had almost finished my omelette and never received my salsa. But overall, had a satisfying and enjoyable breakfast dining experience and appreciate the coupon from the rewards program.

    Never ordered from this place before. I was just a worker outside servicing the trash-can in front…read moreof the establishment. When a kind employee named Hannah came out and offered me a drink on the house. The workers here are real people. Definitely will dine here in the future.
