Party of six sat in the middle of a crowded dining room. Acoustics did not allow for easy…read moreconversations as were craned to hear the person across from us...I ordered the fish special, nicely cooked but paired with sweet ube mash, didn't really enjoy the match. Three in our party ordered the steak. Since we couldn't hear each other, we ate and left. It was in our later conversations that the three steak orders said they've had better and all confirmed their meals were cold. Mom enjoyed the short rib, another enjoyed the duck. Cold steaks...

Been a while but we thought it was about time to return to "Downtown 140" in beautiful Hudson,…read moreOhio. The quaint little village is as picturesque as can be. Easily equal to Chagrin Falls, Chardon Square or any other in northeast Ohio. We arrived and parked along the main street, strolled down the block to the front door. Upon entering you desend the stairway to your left. At the bottom you pass through a glass door into a very nicely appointed dining room (see attached picture). This is a "below the sidewalk" establishment and gives off a smokey, speakeasy type vibe... very classy. As you enter you will discover the hostess is at the far end of the room where the entrance from the rear parking lot is. Evidently that is where the majority of customers enter. I prefer the front... no matter. She saw us right away and immediately walked over and greeted our party. We were quickly seated at our table for the evening. A nice gentleman introduced himself as Christian, our server for the evening. He was quick with a smile and full of knowledge and energy. We placed our drink order and began to peruse the menu. The regular and evening specials menus are more than satisfactory to make any pallet happy. We began with "Deviled Eggs" topped with Caviar, need I say, they were marvelous. Also, the "Oysters Rockefeller" were excellent. The choice of entree's are very nice. My wife chose "Chilean Seabass" Spice Rubbed Carrot/Ginger Puree Haricot Verts Almond/Yuzu Chimichurri. I went with my absolute favorite, "Lamb Chops" Herb Crusted Dijon Crispy Gnocchi Green Peppercorn Jus. So did my brother. And his wife ordered the "Sea Scallops" Roasted Beets Humboldt Fog Pistachios Orange/Saffron Butter. Everything was exceptional as always. KUDOS to the entire kitchen staff. We followed dinner with a fine cup of coffee and shared a couple orders of "Whipped Chocolate Mousse" infused with chopped hazelnuts... fabulous. So, as I have said before, if you enjoy "Fine Dining" that is consistently excellent; make the trip to Hudson, Ohio and visit "Downtown 140". You'll be glad you did.

Initially we were only getting an appetizer until we read the menu. We had the burnt ends appetizer with plantain chips. The ends were glorious, some fatty and some crispy. The plantain chips had no flavor. Settled on the brisket with the grits and apple slaw. As well as sides of the succotash and cheddar smash. Succotash, grits and apple slaw alone are worth going back!

One, green chunks of cucumber or broccoli got into my macaroni and it gagged me until I realized what was happening. 2, My brisket was served cold and really not that tender. Thirdly, we waited a way too long for this food. I complained that night about my slow service, cold brisket, and green chunks of something in my macaroni. The hostess' response was, "we don't have a manager." A woman did show up, I calmly and politely introduced myself but she did not give me her name. I told her what was happening and she had a *deer in the headlights look the whole time.* She offered to replace my meal. I said "no, I ate it, but maybe you could do something for me." 20 minutes later she comped me half the price of my meal since I did eat it. But then my wife got sick all the next day, a horrible case of upset stomach. She had the ribs, succotash, and potatoes. So I filled out their website feedback form twice but they blew me off for almost 3 weeks. That's why I'm putting this out here on Yelp now.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

I identify as a burrito man. I almost never order tacos at restaurants because they are small and…read moredon't last too many bites. Visiting from out of town, I had to trust my sister and order a few taco specials. Delicious flavors and huge portions! The flavors they used were aggressive, heavily seasoned, and memorable. One taco impressed me because it superimposed a toasted tortilla inside the taco, stealing crunchwrap vibes. Gave it great texture! They have a pencil-and-paper, sushi restaurant type ordering system which felt a bit overwhelming and like homework, so I'd recommend just checking off a few tacos from the specials list and calling it a day. The service was pretty good, but either from inexperience or perhaps sneaky intentions, they doubled the number of tacos we ordered on the bill. They went back to correct the error, so I guess watch what they're charging you.

The only disappointment for me was discovering that the goat cheese guacamole was no longer a menu item. That was my very favorite thing to order! The tacos were very fresh (loved the pork w/ pineapple and cilantro aioli) and we loved filling out a card to make our own creative taco selections without feeling rushed by placing verbal orders. I ordered the skinny Margarita and thought it was very tasty. Regarding service, our server was extremely friendly and helpful in answering some menu related questions. In terms of ambiance, it had a very cool vibe with festive artwork covering the walls. We'll be back!

They have a large selection of house wines as well as other brands. The server was kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine. All the dishes are enormous and meant to be shared. We shared the goat cheese with blackberry preserves and a Genoa flatbread and even with the three of us, we had a lot to take home with us. The duo and the flatbread were both incredible. The flatbread is actually two whole flatbreads and the dip was the size of a dinner plate. They were kind to get us an extra loaf of bread to go with the dip because we ran out. Their kitchen closed at 8 even though they were open until 9. That was about annoying because we considered ordering an additional dish but worked out fine since the dishes were so large.
