Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

9 July, 2018 | Bistro | By: Mrs Z

What a great addition Firebirds is to the East side of Cleveland. Though hard to find if you google and use GPS, it’s really easy if you just look for the new Pinecrest complex right off of I-271 and Harvard (you can actually see it from the highway). The menu is expansive and unique enough […]

Heck’s Cafe

19 October, 2017 | Bistro | By: Mrs Z

I remember having been to the original Heck’s many years ago and absolutely loving it.  Our visit to the (relatively) new location in Avon wasn’t quite as positive.  In all fairness to our wonderful server, Erin, she did try her best to make things right, but sadly the strip steak that Mr. Z (uncharacteristically) ordered […]

Square 22

17 November, 2016 | Bistro, Fine Dining | By: Mrs Z

It’s always exciting when a new restaurant comes to our area; particularly given what (and who) we knew about what went into making Square 22 a reality.  Though it is a most welcome addition to the area; we are keeping our fingers crossed that since they’ve only been open a few weeks, the coming days/weeks […]

XYZ The Tavern

18 March, 2016 | Bar, Bar and Grill, Bistro | By: Mrs Z

Since this place is located in the Gordon Square District, which is known for its cool and eclectic little places; we had high hopes; but…………were slightly disappointed – just slightly!  They have a very diverse menu, with some unusual offerings, but the dishes we ordered sounded better than they actually were. Mr. Z had what must […]

Cantine Bottle Shop

21 January, 2016 | Bar, Bistro, Wine Bar / Small Plates | By: Mrs Z

I will apologize in advance to those out there who have come to really like CANTINE….we simply are not fans!  Not that we had a negative experience, or that there is anything wrong with it; we just aren’t fans of limited menus and craft beers (ONLY)! We visited Cantine with the mistaken idea that it […]

Town Hall Ohio City

18 January, 2016 | Bar and Grill, Bistro, sandwiches / soups / salads, Sports Bar | By: Mrs Z

If you don’t mind a crowd (overflowing), noise (lots), and waiting (30-40 minutes on a Tuesday); this place is amazing!  Their menu is vast and very interesting; with many organic and vegan choices. I went with the chipotle sweet potato skins and the harvest salad.  Both were amazing and I’d have a hard time NOT […]

Stonebrook Clubhouse (and Driving Range)

18 December, 2015 | Bar and Grill, Bistro, Pub, Steak / Seafood, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

This place may be the best kept secret in the area, because we’ve driven by there many, many times since they’ve been open and NEVER knew it was a restaurant in addition to being a driving range and golf school, therefore I am hoping to spread the word…..Stonebrook is AWESOME! Their menu was a big […]

Yard House

3 December, 2015 | Bistro, Sports Bar, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

Having heard that Yard House was “coming soon” and then being told that we “absolutely HAD to try it”, we did!  Very cool place, but if you’re looking for an intimate, quiet place to carry on conversation; this is NOT the place!  Also, if you’re a first-timer, you should allow at least 15 minutes to […]

Grove Hill Restaurant

12 November, 2015 | Bistro, Family Restaurant, Traditional / American | By: Mrs Z

Formerly Raintree Restaurant (since 1972); Grove Hill opened last year in its place and I cannot say enough GOOD things about it.  Though having been to Raintree many times back in the 90s; I honestly can’t remember anything noteworthy.  Grove Hill, on the other hand, will stand out for a long time to come.  Their […]

Fast Eddie’s

6 November, 2015 | Bar, Bistro | By: Mrs Z

Many of you may remember the original Fast Eddie’s of so long ago.  I’m not even sure how long it’s been closed, but we were thrilled to hear it had returned – in Parma no less!  We had been to Pizzeria Cerino’s in Lakewood before they (closed/moved) and were really surprised to see that the […]
