Best Historic Restaurants in Shaker Heights

Our waiter Kade was professional, informative and made our Thanksgiving dinner special. My husband had the Turkey dinner special, I had the scallop special, my sister had the filet and her husband had chicken parmigiana. We had the sauté calamari for an appetizer and everything was delicious, not to mention the dessert, warm olive oil cake, cheesecake and the special pumpkin cheesecake. We were extremely happy and grateful for such a wonderful dining experience.

SaSa is our absolute favorite restaurant to go to! The quality of food is consistently excellent. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is lovely.

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!

Impressive and our first time being here. The food was spot on as well as the water service. I liked that there were eyes on the dining room. Our server messed up on delivering the sides but brought us mashed potatoes on the house while we waited,except we didn’t get them until one of the managers came over to ask how things were. They then came immediately and were delicious. Beet salad was amazing and the bread was awesome. Great mix of flavors. Everybody at the table loved their dishes. We will be back!

Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
