The waitress Zanayah was professional but very sweet the guys kidded around with her a bit. And we told her what kind of wine we liked and she brought us just that. The large warm cookie with ice cream was a great choice for dessert. The restroom was clean and restaurant very clean and neat!

Service was spotty. Seated in a relatively empty restaurant next to a screaming child. We asked to…read morebe seated elsewhere and were told they have condensed seating and were required to fill this section first. So seating 0/5 our server though was amazing 5/5. Lot of tables and I can assume it gets crazy loud during top hours. It is pleasant inside though. The food was also a mix. Lobster Bisque wasn't the worst We've ever had, but close. Not a busque. Not a chowder. More like a heavy soup. Flavor was more imitation crab than Lobster. But like most bars nobody complains as they drink with their food. The Gnocci alla Vodka however was amazing. Best I've had in Ohio. The gnocci wasn't perfect, but the sauce was fabulous. Gritty, full of sausage and the bite of the vodka sauce was very reminiscent of a good bolognese. Bread was a poor choice for this meal. Pretzel bread is great for burgers and beer but not for delicate flavors. Miss there too. Low review for service and food. I'd go back to try it again to re-review but it's a firm 2. Better places in the area to go.

One might think you are on the Cape but the parking lot strip mall gives it away. Emilie's is…read morelocated in the heart of Avon Lake, it's easy to get to central to neighborhoods and freeway access with plenty of cozy seating and a cute cafe style seating outside in the parking lot. One could easily spend the day at Emilie's, the perfect blend of caffeine, small plates, pastries and kitschy hats, candles and clothing for gifting or the perfect weekend set up. The baristas are pleasant, friendly and quick for the busy pace of walk-in traffic. We opted to sit down, with a chai, espresso and a cold brew, for quick eats we opted for two different toast pairings perfect for sharing so we each try the other, the lox toast with salmon, lemon dill cream cheese was fantastic, the toast was sturdy and crunchy holding up well for the heavy toppings. The avocado was good, I would add coarse salt and pepper if it was available l, definitely needed a kick with the avocado. My husband loved the nitro coals brew, the foam settled perfectly, he said it was the best in the area, which is high praise for someone who lives on black coffee and espresso. If you are looking for a local coffee spot, they offers wine too, cozy corners and family fun, yes there are quite a few kids in-house, then make Emilie's your next spot. Oh and leave the laptop at home on the weekends and evenings, tables turn over pretty quick

I have always loved Bistro 83. It has been a while since my last visit, and it appears the menu…read morehas been updated - and I love the additional choices. Today I ordered the Portobello burger. The portobello mushroom was marinated in balsamic. I'm not typically a fan of balsamic, but since I love Portobello I gave it a try. Unfortunately the balsamic marinade was too much, I almost choked with the first 3 bites. Both of my daughters tried the mushroom and agreed that it was too much balsamic marinade. This was the first time I returned a meal. Our waitress, Brenda, was AMAZING. She quickly had me order something else, which was promptly brought out to me (and it was delicious). Throughout the rest of our meal she continually apologized. I was not angry...I understood. She made this possibly bad experience a good one. My daughters enjoyed their meals. (Unfortunately my granddaughter did not enjoy hers - she ordered mac-n-cheese - and according to her it was tasteless.) Regardless, I love Bistro83 and I will go back, and the wonderful way we were treated is one of the reasons.

The best thing on our first trip here was the server and the busser that kept the table cleared …read more We also had 530 reservations and asked for a quieter area as a couple people in my family are hard of hearing . That was honored , so thank you . However , The food was underwhelming at best . We were sat immediately but didn't get our meals until almost 645 . We ordered hot chips for an appetizer and they came on a salad plate? They practically slid off the plate when placed on the table . A basket of some type would present a lot better IMHO like most restaurants do w like apps. I know it seems picky but I feel as though this is supposed to be a little more upscale than an Applebees . My mom and I ordered the Garlic Shrimp scampi , the noodles were Al dente which I prefer , but they all stuck together in a ball , both dishes and there was zero flavor and the dish was hardly hot temperature wise . My fiancé had the chicken Marsala and he said he should have just had a burger . The kids meals were enjoyed more than the entrees ~ chicken tenders and fries were good ! The waitress acknowledged and apologized for the long wait and manager comped us desserts . My mom had the crème brûlée , she did enjoy. I tried a white strawberry type cake , it was awful . It looked great but it was dry and watery when bit into the cake . It's like it was in a too cold refrigerator too long . The consistency was like packed cold sand that fell apart in your mouth . Just not good . I really wanted this to be a great experience, NR is my hometown and my mom still lives there , we visit a lot . I'd hoped it could be a better than it was because the atmosphere is beautiful and the server was great ~ but what is up w the food an experience that wasn't worth the price tag unfortunately.

We stopped by Laughing Bomb Brewery on a whim, curious to see what had taken over the former John…read moreChrist Winery location. The concept--part winery, part brewery--definitely intrigued us, and I'll say right off the bat: the service staff was truly fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and clearly putting in the effort to make guests feel welcome. That said, the overall experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The seasonal mixed drinks were creative and fun, and the fries were surprisingly solid. Unfortunately, the spicy chicken sandwich was underwhelming--bland, without much heat or flavor--and the buffalo chicken dip was just decent. With a pretty limited food menu, we found ourselves wishing for a few more standout options to round out the visit. To be fair, we didn't sample any of their craft beers, which could very well be the highlight of the place. But for a Friday happy hour at 5:30, the sparse crowd (just eight people, including us) made the atmosphere feel more quiet than energetic. I genuinely want to root for a local spot like this, and I admire what they're trying to build. But based on our experience, this feels like a one-and-done for us. I'm still giving it 3 stars , largely because the staff really did make the best impression of the night--and that counts for a lot.

I ordered the Crispy Brussels and she selected the Roasted Garlic Whipped Mascarpone. The pasta was delicious. And so were the Brussels. The Whipped Mascarpone was OK, although both of us thought the combination of the cheese, garlic, lemon, and pretzel crackers were a little too much. Both thought the garlic was too forward, and the mascarpone would have been better with just the lemon and/or perhaps with a touch of honey...even hot honey. The portions were all huge and we each took an additional meal home. Ordered coffee to end the evening and were delighted that they came as French Press coffee rather than just regular brewed. The venue is very nice albeit quite loud. Conversation was challenging, but manageable. We will be back.

They also usually have a very unique cocktail menu, but this time they didn't have one which was disappointing. They just had their regular cocktail/drink menu, but we still really enjoyed our cocktails. To start we got the hummus and rosemary focaccia. The focaccia was sooo soft and delicious. I especially loved the whipped fig honey butter. For my entree, I got the Thai spicy chicken sandwich and it was sooo good. I wanted to finish it but I think I filled up on too much bread lol. I felt like the fries didn't really add anything to it and were a bit plain and meh. I liked the fingerling potatoes a lot more. Their desserts are amazing. I chose the hazelnut tart and it was creamy and delicious. My boyfriend got the cheese ice cream plate and I thought it was so cute and unique!
