   Service was very good and staff attentive. Drink menu and corresponding drinks don’t match up well. If you’re a steak eater, this is a decent spot. Hard to justify the cost unfortunately in downtown Cleveland. Be careful with floors, very uneven and watched numerous people stumble a little.

   Lovely space. Service (Destiny) on point, available when needed, out of the way when not. Eclectic and delightful menu. Well curated wine list, with a few surprises that I was admittedly THRILLED to find in Cleveland. Cocktails and dishes all well thought out, balanced and served with grace and elegance.

   The waiter and food were amazing! But, they need to add some sound absorbing textiles. I shouting to be heard by my dinner companions!

   This was our third visit. She ordered a glass of Patz and Hall Chardonnay. It was off and the server replaced it with a new glass from a new bottle immediately. Off wines happen, even with the best of wines. Corks are usually the culprits. I ordered Guinness 0.0 since I can no longer drink alcohol. The bread was a freshly baked mini loaf partially sliced into quarters. It came with butter and a herbed olive oil and we liked it a lot. She loves the asparagus soup and that was all she wanted. I ordered the strip steak (medium) and the Patata Pugliese. The steak came just the way I wanted; pink all the way through and nicely browned crust. It was accompanied by some arugula with a hard Italian cheese and olive oil, so I got my greens. I brought about a third of it home and it will likely end up in a steak sandwich. The potato was a huge russet or Idaho cut into a few large segments and drizzled with olive oil. It had the skin on and was cooked to perfection. Half of it came home to be air-fried and served with ham and egg. She enjoyed a couple of slices of the steak and potatoes. Service was friendly and responsive. The ambience is top-class. We are happy to have a top-class steak house back in our neighborhood.

    Outstanding experience in every way, exceptional food and service. Our party of five ordered several small plates along with the Bronzino and the Fiorentina, every dish was excellent. Highly recommend this place, especially for groups of 4+ so you can sample multiple dishes.
