About the restaurant

Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

The food was all great! Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive! There are good options for GF and V and the waiter was able to have other menu options prepared to accommodate those. A neighborhood gem that I was not aware of until I found on Opentable! We'll be back.

Fairlawn

About the restaurant

Classic American food with flare. Burntwood Tavern's warm and inviting atmosphere is rich in character, and provides the perfect showcase for its straight forward, chef driven menu of smoked, planked, and wood grilled food. Handcrafted cocktails, constructed with fresh juices and house-infused vodkas, as well as offerings from a diverse craft draught beer list. If you're looking for a heavy pour, you've found your place!

Very nice atmosphere. We were seated promptly. Our server, Deb, was outstanding and a sweetheart. She was attentive, funny, and conversational, without ever being overbearing. Everything a server should be! I ordered a smoked Old Fashioned, and she ever did the smoking of the drink at our table so the smoke would not dissipate on the trip from the bar to the table! Food was excellently prepared and plentiful. All in all a great night out. Thanks Deb!

Solon

About the restaurant

Elle was created with the intention to pay homage to all that is maternal, womanly and goddess-like in each of our lives, past present and future. Elle is a universal interchangeable word that simply means "her". We created this space to acknowledge that through food and great company. Our Chef has created our menu with this in mind, as well as selecting and using only the freshest and brightest ingredients for his dishes. Everything is from scratch, and more importantly, made with love. We are thrilled to have you experience Elle. There is always room for one more at our table!

Server Kathy was " just right", not annoying but available. The food is always good. The quiet booth was perfect for the two of us as we celebrated a birthday. The recommended wine was tasty: as was the Manhattan. A vey enjoyable 75th birthday dinner for my wife!

This is a very charming inn with great food and service. The prices are quite reasonable for an upper scale establishment. Go when you have plenty of time to enjoy the ambiance and food, and are able to really make the most of the experience. Our meals took a little longer arrive than expected, but we weren’t in a hurry so it didn’t matter to us.

Hi! We enjoyed our Anniversary and Christmas Family Dinner last night in one of the suites with Brittany. WOW is all I can say! The experience was amazing and the food was out of this world delicious! Brittany enhanced every part with her recommendations and wonderful personality. She went above and beyond to make our evening great and it did not go unnoticed! We will definitely be back and look forward to checking out other parts of the restaurant soon!

Since it is new, and a Friday night, the restaurant was very busy and quite noisy. However, the service and food were great. Will certainly come back soon.
