If you need to have dinner walking distance to the theater, this is a choice. The atmosphere is nice. The service is professional. The food is beautifully plated. The short ribs were flavorful but a bit tough and the duck was a bit dry which is hard to accomplish with duck. Thank goodness for the sauce and the sides. They change the menu so you may get lucky. I’d give them another try.

We had an excellent dinner before attending a musical at the Playhouse. Excellent location to park once and walk. This is across from the Hanna Theatre and perfect location for any of the theatres. The warm bread was so tasty with a house made strawberry butter. The drinks were creative and tasty too. I had the yellow brick road. I will say that the reviews all point to plates being small. We didn’t walk away hungry at all, but they are designed for one person, so you will not want to plan on splitting. We had a salad and entree and were able to eat our meal without any leftovers. I had the crabcakes and they were so delicious, loved the fire roasted tomato orzo. My husband had the halibut and he should have said something, but the halibut was very dry. We finished up with a slice of the lemon cake and I will say, the meal was perfect for us. Service was very good and I would definitely come back.

Clean restaurant and menu looked good but the Octopus was wet and chewy, not grilled per menu description. The steaks weren’t seared and the bacon was wet and soggy. I had to spit the octopus out into the napkin and more thsn half of my meal was left on the plate but the waiter never caught onto it. This was my first visit to Cleveland with my boyfriend so we wanted to try out a new place. I felt bad and didn’t want to send our food back.
