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 […]

Sahara Restaurant

18 September, 2015 | Indian, Mediterranean | By: Mrs Z

Sahara Restaurant, while not much to look at from the outside (or inside for that matter) turned out to be pretty good.  I have to admit that had this been my “night to pick”, I’m pretty sure I would have turned tail and ran, but this is supposed to be, after all, an adventure.  That […]

Graffiti – A Social Kitchen

9 September, 2015 | Bistro, Fine Dining | By: Mrs Z

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 […]

The Red Lantern Kitchen & Bar

15 July, 2015 | Bistro | By: Mrs Z

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 […]

Map of Thailand

6 February, 2015 | Asian | By: Mrs Z

As has happened on several other occasions; Map of Thailand was not our original destination on this particular Tuesday night.  I had neglected to call ahead to confirm that the restaurant of choice was still in business and what their hours were.  In the past, we’ve run across outdated websites only to find that our […]

Jezebels Bayou

6 November, 2014 | Cajun / Creole | By: Mrs Z

A truly unique place and a real benefit for this area, since short of a trip to New Orleans, we haven’t been able to find any place like it in the Cleveland area!  My only disappointment is that they have taken the ‘shrimp and grits’ off the menu.  When we asked why, we were told […]

Dina’s Pizza & Pub – The Filling Station

18 March, 2014 | Sports Bar | By: Mrs Z

Now THIS was a sports bar!  Formerly an old gas station, this place had character and atmosphere!  That’s probably why it was packed on a Tuesday night!  Located in the Old Brooklyn section of Cleveland, their menu was huge, with something to satisfy everyone.  Again, wings and a burger, but done perfectly (how many times […]

Emperor’s Palace

16 January, 2013 | Chinese | By: Mrs Z

This may be one of the first times (ever) that I’m hesitant about commenting on one of our adventures!  Not because it was bad because it most definitely wasn’t.  The thing is – it wasn’t really good either.  Confused??  Here’s the scoop as plainly as I can put it.  Some places that we have visited […]

Ferris Steak House

25 July, 2012 | Steak / Seafood | By: Mrs Z

I can’t believe that after all these years in Cleveland, and as long as this place has been around – we’d never heard of it, much less been there.  But as luck would have it and almost by default, we ended up there lastnight!  It doesn’t really look very inviting from the outside, and the neighborhood (at […]

Flat Iron Cafe

20 June, 2012 | Irish, Sports Bar | By: Mrs Z

We may be the only ones who have lived in this area for 25+ years, have spent time in the Flats, yet have never been to this long-standing Irish pub, so it was long overdue.  Definitely not a disappointment either as both the service and the food were a testament as to why it has lasted so many years […]
