Great vibe and menu. Our waiter William was knowledgeable- funny and attentive. Eating out on thanksgiving can be tricky - but this was awesome and the place was lively! Recommend the fried Burrata, short ribs and salmon.

We moved to Cleveland last March. We chose this restaurant for our anniversary last May. We loved it. Yesterday, we returned to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was great and plentiful, so we have another dinner for tonight! Our server was clearly fairly new. She was super nice and we enjoyed her service. We love this restaurant so much. We recommend it highly!
