The wine list was extensive and full. We enjoyed the 2006 Voss from Napa Valley. The appetizers were delicious and able to be shared - the 3 of us shared the Crab Gnocchie and Beef Cheek Perogies. The dinners were unique and very tasty. We had the Pork Chop, Rainbow Trout, and Mandarin Duck - all very delicious, we sampled each other's entrees. The desserts were also interesting: 6am Special is the best with the Carrot Cake and Warm Chocolate Cake in a close 2nd. Thank you Sam and Michael for making our fine dining night a rememberable one. WE WILL BE BACK!

This is by far the best restaurant in Cleveland, and one of the best I've had in my extensive world travels. I am a very heavy eater, and normally takes an appetizer plus large meal to fill me up. The portions were surprisingly filling. In fact, the appetizer my wife and I ordered/ split, which was actually small for the price, wasn't necessary.

Me and my friend showed up a little early for our reservation. We went to the bar to order drinks. The bartender ignored us for about 10 minutes (the bar was not that busy) before he told us he would be with us in a minute. He finally took our drink order and acted annoyed like he was doing us a favor by getting us drinks. Very rude. Dinner was so so. The food was not stuff we were used to eating (rabbit, animal glands, deer, etc), so we were pretty grossed out to begin with. We just wanted something like a filet or lobster, call us boring people I guess lol. So we got beet salad, meat tray, and the ribeye and told them to hold the bone marrow. The ribeye had so much fat in it my friend from out of town had to keep spitting it out. I was embarassed to have taken her there because she didn't like the food. It was disgusting and I have honestly had a better steak at Outback. The desserts were fantastic. The 6 am special and the chocolate cake were delicious and beautiful. All in all I will not be back again. Was just not impressed at all. It is a beautiful place just did not like the food or the service at the bar.

Two of us stopped in the other day for a drink at the bar and there were two bartenders working behind the bar, with one other couple at the bar. We sat down, right in front of one of the bartenders, who was counting money right in front of us, and said he'd be with us in a minute. We found it odd that he wouldn't even offer a wine list. A few minutes later, a group of four came over to the bar, and immediately, and the other bartender waited on them, while our bartender continued to count money. After talking about it for a minute, we actually got up and left without ordering drinks. As the bartender inquired, "Where are you going?" I responded, "Someplace that will treat us better". These bartenders apparently they thought they were doing us a favor by serving us. I have eaten there before, and the food is good, I had the Rosemary Chicken Mac and Cheese, and the desserts are decent. Portions are rather small, so you don't have to worry about having leftovers. The wine list is very extensive, but they have a surprisingly short 'by the glass' list. Atmosphere is modern and trendy.
