Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Downtown Cleveland / E. 4th Street

Had a 6pm reservation, we got there about 10 mins early and were seated as soon as we walked in. Service was excellent! Never had to wait on a refill, she explained the menu and extras not on the menu. Food was delicious. A little pricey but with the options and quality well worth it. The pretzels they bring out as complimentary bread come with compound butters that were amazing. I despise mustard but the Dijon butter was wow!! Definitely worth the trip!!

It was Valentine’s Day, so we knew it would be crazy busy. We should have requested an indoor table, the covered outdoor area was still chilly and way too packed. Our waitress was very friendly. She forgot my wine, but the experience was still very enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing! It was pricey, but we knew that going in.

From entering to leaving was a great experience. Nice reception at the front and wonderful service throughout the 2 hrs we were there. Flavors were full and diverse, all my taste buds were rejoicing. The salad bar was packed with options and could be made into a main course if desired. The ever flowing parade of meats does not lose one’s attention easily, there is always something new and delicious coming from all directions. The decadent desert options does make one think if you are really full or if taking a slice of cake home is the best option … naturally we took home two.

We had a really good server ( forgot her name though) she was awesome ! Food and specialty drinks were very good. I might say the portion of the food for the price was small. Also, there were only 2 dessert choices ( maybe because it was my free bday offering) but the affogoto was not for me - very very bitter. My friend didn't like it either. The other option was a cornbread cake. Not that it was bad, but for dessert I would have preferred something else. We sat near the kitchen which is always a noisy place to sit. The ambiance and the quality of the food was good.

Our recent visit to this restaurant marked our first experience, and it had been on our culinary bucket list for quite some time. We were eager to see if it would live up to the hype. I am thrilled to report that the restaurant not only met but truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, setting a positive tone for the evening. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. The food was nothing short of excellent—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. One of the standout features of our experience was the staff, who embodied different characters as they moved around the restaurant. Their interactions added a delightful layer of entertainment, making our dining experience not just a meal but a memorable event. This unique approach truly sets this restaurant apart from others we have visited. We left with full hearts (and stomachs) and are already looking forward to returning in the future! The only minor drawback was that the music played during our visit was slightly louder than we would have preferred, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. However, this did not detract significantly from our overall enjoyment. In summary, if you’re considering a visit here, I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!
