Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Bratenahl

Dining at Edwins is always a delight! My shared dinner with two dear friends was no exception. It began with seating. My friend commented on how cold the night air was and if we could sit where it would be cozy. The host scanned the room of diners and decided, with a brief consultation, to seat us in the private dining area. We had the curtained room to ourselves, but service to our remote table could not have been more accommodating! In search of a wine, the chef, John, pulled himself from a busy kitchen to offer a single bottle remaining from an event he had hosted earlier this season. It was a superb Saint-Estèphe. So began a memorable meal that started with foie gras, perfectly seared, tender, and served with roasted apples and Calvados sauce. Sublime. The salad was a croquet of goat cheese with crisp fresh greens, and our three dinners were grilled rabbit, grouper, and seafood sausage in lemon butter wine sauce. Everyone was pleased with their choice. The food, wine, and conversation flowed with unobtrusive and impeccable service and a warm visit from the restaurant impresario himself, Brandon Crostowski. We were too full to try the desserts and were honoring our New Year's resolutions. We hope to return soon and maybe start with dessert?

Lovely space. Service (Destiny) on point, available when needed, out of the way when not. Eclectic and delightful menu. Well curated wine list, with a few surprises that I was admittedly THRILLED to find in Cleveland. Cocktails and dishes all well thought out, balanced and served with grace and elegance.

This was our monthly ladies night out. From our entrance to our exit, the service was superb. Mary was our server and she was absolutely AMAZING!! The food was great and the ambiance made for a perfect evening of girl talk. This was our first time there, but we’ll definitely revisit.

Always a lovely meal and experience. They consistently go above and beyond.

Our server was excellent. They were accommodating and gave us a quiet table in a separate fireplace room. Only somewhat negative was the portion of food was small. But really delicious
