OK, I have to rant a little here….I’m not quite sure I get this new trend of “farm to table”! I mean seriously – some folks may care (a lot) about the origin of what they are eating, but frankly I’m not crazy about a menu that, next to every single item, lists the name […]
Well it seems like Brian Okin has done it again! Cork and Cleaver is pretty amazing; but Graffiti is no less awesome, offering some of the most interesting and unusual-sounding dishes we’ve encountered, but everything we tried was a huge two thumbs up! Though there were so many temptations on the menu; after seeing one […]
I don’t even know where to begin when talking about the great experience we had at The Red Lantern Kitchen and Bar! Perhaps I should first mention that when I noticed exactly WHERE it was located, I was apprehensive…..an old strip center that’s anchored by Marc’s and Giant Eagle – not very encouraging. But, while […]
Even though the reviews of this relatively new place were somewhat on the negative side; we decided to give it a try anyway. Ironically, most of the reviews commented on ‘poor service’ and that was the probably the one thing that we found to be outstanding! Initially we were under the impression that they served […]
We were a bit disappointed in this particular Burntwood Tavern location; having been to their Chagrin Falls place and loving it! I guess we expected the same level of quality and it just wasn’t there. Though they don’t have a huge menu; it was a nice selection of
I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this eclectic little place was such a surprise that we feel like we stumbled upon something really special. I had checked out the menu online prior to heading down there and based on the dishes offered and the prices; I guess I was expecting someplace a little […]
I have to admit that Cork and Cleaver was a wonderful surprise; particularly because of it’s location. Formerly Benvenuti (which we really enjoyed several years ago when we first visited), and being predominantly Italian, we were really pleased to see that the same owner, Brian Okin, has gone in a somewhat different direction. Though still […]
A recent addition to the long corridor of Rt. 18 in Medina, this place was quite a find! Our only hope is that it “catches on”. Tucked back in the corner of an almost new strip center right at Rt. 18 and I-71, 111 Bistro is quite a step up from the typical sports bars […]
What an incredibly awesome find this was for us! We’re still amazed that we’ve driven by it on almost a weekly basis for as long as it’s been here, and never even thought to check it out. I think that the fact that it had “Wine Bar” in the name may have been a minor […]
I’m not sure I know the difference between a Gastropub and a Bistro; but from what I have read; this place falls under the category of a “Gastropub”!!! Their Medina location is relatively new (they also have a Hudson store), so we were pleasantly surprised to see that something new had opened relatively close to […]
