Always a delightful experience. Delicious foods with preparation that allows every ingredient to shine. Always an interesting list of daily specials on top of the finely crafted menu. And the cocktails are unmatched in NE OH. Always the greatest date night. We love a table in the bar, cozy.

Always such a treat. With a warm smile and hug or handshake Carl and Pierre greet you as you enter, reminding you this is family. The attentive service continues with quick, prompt attention from several of the wait staff. The food is consistently the best in Cleveland. Veal is my favorite, but dont miss any of the homemade pasta dishes either. For a treat the freshly flown in Dover sole never disappoints and the rib steak is amazing. Finish with a special dessert prepared table-side (bananas foster or cherries flambe) or creme brule or tiramisu off the regular dessert menu.
