Very popular restaurant in Cleveland so go early or call ahead for reservations. They source local foods and a nice variety of food options. Their burgers are my favorite. I ask for a lettuce bun and request goat cheese on my salad or burger. Great steak and fish options, though they aren't organic or alaskan fish. They accommodate substitutions well according to your preferences. Friendly service and nice atmosphere, not flooded with TVs everywhere. The bar is separated behind glass walls.
