We weren't sure what to expect from 1330 on the River given some of the Yelp reviews, but we were really drawn in by the location, the river views, and the menu. We ended up being pleasantly surprised--and had a really enjoyable dinner. We started with the East Bank Fig Wraps, and absolutely loved them. The bacon was just smoky enough, and there was just enough honey to complement the goat cheese. Such a great combination of sweet, savory, and smoky. We shared the Au Jus in the Mood for Chicken, which is a half chicken served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, but the green beans were the real standout. They had just the right amount of crunch and were nicely flavored with garlic salt. Some of the best green beans we've had at a restaurant. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, which we really appreciated. We initially thought we were going to miss out on the outdoor patio because it was being used for a private event. Luckily, we discovered they have another outdoor dining area downstairs, and the view from there was incredible--right along the river with a great view of the Hope Street Bridge. Overall, we were glad we gave 1330 on the River a try. The food exceeded our expectations, the service was good, and you really can't beat the waterfront setting. We'd happily come back. read more

We stopped at 1330 on the River for Happy Hour! Located in the heart of the Flats East Bank this scratch kitchen features delicious handcrafted cocktails with gorgeous patio views of Cleveland's iconic waterfront! We had great service! The fig wraps that came out were actually water chestnuts. They were tasty but not what we were expecting since we thought they were figs so they will need to update the menu. The food came out hot and fresh, the shrimp was my favorite dish of all we tried! There was a nice breeze on the patio and we were able to enjoy the music from the concert across the Water at Jacob's Pavilion! We easily found street parking and there was also a lot available for 6-7$ for 3 hours. Would definitely come back!

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the service was good and the truffle fries were maybe the best fries I've ever had. HOWEVER, we went for happy hour and got a few apps, getting the charcuterie thinking that was a safe bet because they're always delicious. Instead we received a pile of lettuce, a couple cherry tomatoes and cucumber, some extremely over seasoned little toasts, and the most nauseating meat I've ever seen in my life. I had to ask what the meat was because I was convinced one was Marc's clearance bologna. I still can't get over it. No salami, prosciutto, no fruit (even though the menu said fruit). I am begging the chef to rethink whatever this thing is. We left almost the entire thing uneaten. read more

We were seated inside due to weather, but the sun came out and management/our server was super accommodating to move our table outside. Food was full of great flavor, although the mussels did seem to lack freshness. The view is great and I would definitely recommend to stop by 1330 on a nice day! read more

We visited 1330 on the River for the first time while we were in town for a doctor's appointment, and we were so impressed! The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful--and I have to say, I had the best margarita I've ever had! We live about seven hours away, but we're already hoping to come back again soon. This will definitely be a place we look forward to visiting whenever we're in town. Highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I made an 8:00 PM reservation specifically for an outdoor table because we were looking forward to having dinner on the patio and watching the sunset. On our way there, the bridge went up to allow a barge through, which delayed us. We immediately tried calling the restaurant three times to let them know we would be running late, but no one answered. We arrived at 8:14, apologized for being late, and asked if our reservation could still be honored. The hostess said yes, but then told us that the patio was full and that there would be about a 30-minute wait. We were given the option of sitting at the bar or waiting for an indoor table. We asked if we could wait at the bar next door while we waited, but were told no. At that point, we were willing to wait 30 minutes. However, while waiting, I asked for clarification about the outdoor seating and was told that the patio was actually first come, first served. This was extremely confusing and frustrating. We did not simply request outdoor seating -- we made a reservation specifically for an outdoor table. If the patio is first come, first served, why are customers able to make reservations for outdoor tables? We were ultimately not seated until 9:20 PM -- an hour and 20 minutes after our reservation time. I had to approach the host three separate times to ask for updates because no one was proactively communicating with us. At no point were we given an accurate expectation of how long we would actually be waiting. If we had been told upfront that our 8:00 PM reservation would result in an 80-minute wait, we absolutely would not have stayed. When we were finally seated, our waitress, Maddie, was wonderful. She was incredibly kind and attentive, and we really enjoyed having her as our server. The food was also good. Unfortunately, by the time we were seated, we had completely missed the sunset we had specifically planned our evening around. What was especially disappointing was that no one from management ever acknowledged or apologized for the excessive wait. An 80-minute delay for a reservation is not a minor inconvenience, especially when the reservation was specifically for outdoor seating. Some communication and accountability would have gone a long way. To make matters worse, there were field mice running around the patio while we were eating, which was another unpleasant part of the experience. Overall, the food and our waitress were good, but the way our reservation was handled was extremely disappointing. Between not honoring our reserved outdoor table, being given conflicting information about how the patio works, having to repeatedly ask for updates, waiting 80 minutes, and receiving no accountability from management, this is not the level of service I would expect. Unfortunately, the experience has left us with little reason to return. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would. Their website and Google claims it's open from 4 to 9 on Sundays. I made a reservation on OpenTable for Sunday evening. We showed up in the restaurant was closed. Why was I even able to make a reservation when they were closed?? YouVery frustrating. I even paid for parking! False advertising! Never coming back here again. read more

Food was great. We had the fig goat cheese, bacon, appetizer, which was incredible and the muscles were also very good. We wanted to sit outside, but it was booked up with reservations (we just walked in after a guardians game). The inside was nice as well. I had the salmon pasta which was hot fire flames good. Good service too. read more

Mediocre at best. Extremely overpriced basically bar food.. in my opinion. Besides that we had a reservation for outside seating reserved 1-2 weeks in advance... get to the restaurant and they say a big party is coming and there aren't any tables open outside... We would have gone literally anywhere else if we had known that beforehand. Paid for a view we didn't even get to see.. read more

Recommended for the back deck They have absolutely beatify Patio! It's perfect for a summer night. You get to sit above the water and look at the sunset while you watch the beautiful boats go by. It's right across the river from Jacob's pavilion, so on Concert night you would be able to hear everything. You are definitely paying for the view. The food was WAY overpriced, especially for what you get. My burger was $20 (which is fine) but it was 2 overcooked thin patties with barely enough stuff on it. The fries however are really good. The food was decent, not great. My cocktail was great! It was 16$ and worth every penny. The craft cocktails were all good. Our server was very sweet. I would not recommend this place overall due to it being overpriced, but once in awhile on a gorgeous night it's worth it read more

Service is good but food is dry and bland. Atmosphere was alright but doesn't go unnoticed that the owner is over his head and very rude with paying customers. Wouldn't not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Maybe one of the worst places I've ever been to in Cleveland! The best part is the patio overlooking the water - beyond that this is no bueno! The drinks are very mediocre, nothing about them is good - they feel like an attempt at fancy cocktails with poor execution of them. At least these are not the biggest concerns. The bigger issue is the food is just inedible. We did some goat cheese balls that were a "special" and they were especially bad. We also did some calamari that tasted like it was fresh out of a freezer. Though the worst was the brussels sprouts that tasted mostly like grass clippings. We got up and left. The views weren't worth it. read more

such amazing service! we wanted a room outside and they only had inside ones, but as soon as one opened up they offered to let us go outside! such yummmy food. if i had to say anything complaining, it would be to add a few more crostini on their charcuterie board haha. and maybe bake a little less. they also had a delish salad that said it had pears, peaches and this dressing (and other things to) but there was no peaches!!! they did kindly bring out fresh absolutely delishous strawberries when i told them it was supposed to have peach, but other than that, everything soooo yum! also drinks were so cute!! please go :) read more

Sat on their patio late in the evening. Nice view of the water. Unfortunately, it was ran over by mice? We made a comment to the server and she said they were aware and it was "hard to control". I've eaten at a lot of outdoor and restaurants and never have had mice constantly darting around our feet. No other comment was made by the restaurant about it. Overall it was my second time dining in. Food is somewhat pricey for what it is. I think this experience sealed me not returning read more

I went to 1330 on the River for Valentine's Day. I had an early reservation before replacing the reservation when I saw they were doing a Valentine's Day special. Firstly I will say the food absolutely delicious! The drink I got was always wonderful! Which is why I'd recommend and even go back. However, while they promoted special items for Valentine's Day and drinks we weren't offered any other menu. Which was fine, however it wasn't what was advertised. The waitress we had was super nice, but it also seemed a bit spacey and didn't really know her menu. When I asked her about a drink that 1330 posted on their instagram story she had no clue what it was and just bought me a random one. Which again ended up being delicious, so no harm no foul. Over all, it was fine nothing wowing but I'd easily go back to experience there outdoor area, and try some more food. read more

This place fucking blows, had to wait an hour just go order food when it was not busy at all. We ordered drinks and it took over an hour to come and the bartender just sat there on his phone while we waited. DO NOT COME HERE!! It is awful, go anywhere but here, completely avoid this place. A great alternative option is shooters on the water and you can dock your boat there and get served. read more

Bacon wrapped goat cheese dates , glizzy pops with a spicy yet sweet breading , and the best Brussel sprouts you ever had. I'm not a fan of goat cheese because it's so strong but wow I never knew someone could make something so savory and beautiful with every bite there's a different flavor and it just gets better and better. The bacon was definitely perfectly crisp the date was sweet but not overwhelming and the goat cheese just tied everything together so well. The Glizzy pops ???? Omg honey cornbread mix with a spicy Frank in the middle omggggggg. This is the best thing I think I've ever had. No sauce needed with anything on this plate. But the special sauce definitely takes this to a new level ! I asked for an order of these to go because well come on. I'm the hardest person to please when it comes to Brussel sprout because well no one does them right. These were freshhhh perfectly sauced perfectly steamed. I'm not sure what the sauce on here is but babyyyyyyyy send me home with a bucket of this sauce. I asked for the recipe 2-3 times so I can make it at home . 1330 on the river is absolutely a place that I will visit every time I come to Cleveland. All the food is made to order so everything came out quick , HOT, and super fresh. Please go see Lauren and Harry at the bar if you want a GOOOD TIME ! Every drink she made from the simple to the special to the intricate was a 12/10, service was perfect as well from all the staff. Everyone made sure to ask us 1000000 times if we were okay and ensured us with the best customer service ever. We got to meet the owner and he's such a nice guy he personally came out to make sure we were all having a good time. Please make sure to ask about the tequila that they make on their own when I say smoooooooooooooth I mean it's perfectly smooth. The music is the perfect mix it's a little bit of this a little bit of that but it fits whatever vibe you're looking for in my opinion. Oh and it's pretty inside ! Neon signs and the food and service is good ?? Never heard of this combo before. The bathrooms as well as the resturant were extremely clean when we came as well. read more

Great location by the water on East Bank of the Flats in downtown Cleveland. We visited on 4th of July. Mom had a salad and a wagyu burger and I had a salmon blt with Brussels sprouts. Also had the NY cheesecake for dessert. Everything was very good and our server McKenna was the best. She always checked on us and even assisted Mom getting to the restroom. Great time! We will be back. read more

Service was really good. Great music and vibes overall. Had the glizzies. They were okay. Batter to dog ratio was off. More hot dog than breading. Flavor was cool. Served with the basics hot sauce and mustard. I was hoping for a chicken and waffle or biscuit and gravy so nothing on the menu spoke to me. I opted out of being anything else. And because I hadn't eaten I didn't try drinks. My friend got the French toast (not pictured). He said he'd recommend it as a small sweet bite but the portion was small. Overall, I'd likely return for the vibes and to try additional menu items. read more

If you are looking for a private event space, look no further. Thank you. Kathleen and Pat. read more

The food was really good but (CAUTION) make sure if you're with a large group that you check your bill! The person that the reservation was under was told that everything would be on one check. Our waiter said that he would split it up accordingly so that we could pay our own bills. I paid for myself and my husband. The waiter then went to my husband and said that his portion of the bill hadn't been paid for and since we weren't sitting directly beside one another, my husband had no idea that I had already paid the entire bill. I have tried reaching out to the restaurant and still have not received a response. read more

I went with a group and sat in the lower area. It was a wonderful area just a little cold due to the weather. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the brussel sprouts, chicken tacos, and fries. It was all really good. The brussel sprouts were tossed in the really good sauce and roasted. The chicken tacos were really flavorful and filling. Loved it. The truffle fries were tasty as well. I would love to check this out when it's nicer weather. It has a beautiful view of the water and city. Look forward to going back again. read more

Came here for my wife's birthday a while back and had a lovely meal experience out on the back patio facing the Cuyahoga river. The restaurant was able to accommodate our large-ish party and provide my wife with a memorable birthday celebration. We ordered a few appetizers to share, and then folks each ordered their own main entrees. For the table, we got both a Brussels sprouts appetizer as well as two sushi rolls, which were surprisingly fresh and tasty. Brussels sprouts were large in size, split lengthwise and lightly fried topped with a drizzle. My wife wanted an entree salad for dinner, and ordered the wild arugula salad. It came topped with pears, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a champagne vinaigrette dressing which she really enjoyed. I was in the mood for red meat, so I ordered one of their burgers. The Zeke BBQ burger came topped with caramelized onions, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and of course BBQ sauce. The jalapenos gave this burger an extra kick, compared to other si9mialr versions I've had elsewhere. It held up well under the grilled brioche bun, and the accompanying fries were crisp and delicious. After the meal, our server brought out a slice of cheesecake for my wife, a rally nice finishing touch to the meal. Definitely will return to this spot, a great place to bring visitors to show off our city a little bit! read more

Odd lack of patrons being the only ones in there, but the fries were 5/5 stars. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! We had a reservation on a weekend evening but it wasn't very packed when we went. We ordered the Hawaiian chicken and the 1330 Brussels sprouts to start, and split the pesto pasta and added salmon. The 1330 brussel sprouts were a DREAM (I'm drooling thinking about them now), but the chicken was a little dry, and not quite what I was expecting (I thought there would be more breading). The pasta was very creamy and delicious and the salmon was so flaky! We did struggle to get the attention of the waiters, and it took quite a while for the food to actually come out to us. We ordered the apps first and they didn't come back to ask us for our main course order until we were nearly done eating the appetizers, which was a bit frustrating. Overall would definitely come back but plan to spend longer than expected waiting for the food. read more

I went here this past Saturday for Valentine's day with my boyfriend thinking it was going to be a great dinner. Little did I know the next day we would both be extremely sick from food poisoning. The service was great, no complaints. But the steak must have gone bad before they served it or cross contaminated with something raw. Also the music was so loud I could barely hear my own conversation. Very overpriced and will not be going back. read more

We have visited dining establishments all over the USA and in 7 countries in Europe. In our travels we have had many fun, exciting and often unexpected adventures. This morning we stumbled into another such adventure right here in the middle of Cleveland. We have been wanting to sit out on the rear deck of "1330 on the River" and enjoy a meal looking out at the river. However, deck seating is first come first serve. You can not make a reservation specifically for the deck. It seemed the most promising time to accomplish this would be early brunch on a Sunday morning. Brunch starts at 11:30 am so we made our reservation for 11:45 and kept our fingers crossed. Unfortunately we never thought about the Browns game that would be going on at the same time. So yesterday morning we headed downtown for our reservation. The traffic was completely out of control. Police had both East 9th & 3rd street exits blocked off so we were forced to head to the West 28th street exit. Well we didn't get far and found ourselves trapped in a long line standing still. Clearly we were not going to make our reservation at this rate. So with some quick maneuvers I got over to 44th and headed through the back streets. We got to "1330 River" 3 minutes before our reservation. I pulled on the front door and... it was locked?! Confusion spread across our faces. Watches were checked. Calendars were scrutinized. Website was investigated. We were here on the right day at the right time and they were supposed to have opened 15 minutes ago. So we looked around for an alternate entrance but there was nothing. I called the restaurant and got an answering machine. We wandered around for a few minutes trying to decide if we should just leave and suddenly a young lady appeared along side us at the door. She was also trying to get in. When she found the door locked she was a bit more forceful than I had been and she began pounding on the glass. I asked if she was here for a reservation and she replied with a sheepish grin, "No, I work here and I'm running late because of the traffic". We explained our situation and she invited us to join her while she got ready to open. So we did. We entered the empty restaurant and she sat us at our choice of table out on the deck overlooking the river. She introduced herself as Emmy (as in the award) and said she would be right back with a fresh pot of coffee. In a short while she returned with our coffee and place settings as well as menus. By all appearances we were going to have the entire restaurant to ourselves for the foreseeable future. It actually was quite pleasant wandering around at will with no one else to contend with. It was as if I had reserved the entire restaurant just for us (that's what I told my wife). The river view was wonderful and charming. All the parking lots we could see were filled with Browns fans tailgating. I must say, it was an experience unlike any I had ever had. We were in a tiny oasis in the midst of all the craziness of the city going full blast. A short while later our private server showed up with our marvelous breakfasts (see pics) and we indulged. The bacon wrapped figs were excellent. The breakfast included jumbo eggs, crisp bacon, great potatoes and Texas toast. Several cups of coffee and a lot of excellent food later we were finished and quite satisfied. We were still the only ones in the establishment. We indulged ourselves by relaxing on the deck a while longer, engaging in some very pleasant conversation with Emmy (who really had very little else to do). Eventually we decided we had had enough fun and it was time to go. So we paid our bill, said goodbye to Emmi and exited through the entire EMPTY restaurant out the front door (see pic). What started out with the potential to be a quite annoying experience ended up as a wonderful adventure. All thanks to a very kind young lady and some plain old fashion luck. I say give this establishment a try. read more

Brought a party of 34 in on a Christmas bar crawl. Chef Zeek hooked us up with a private room. Had the best time. Would stop here again.

Great location, modern decor with a full bar and friendly staff. The menu was pretty limited, but executed nicely. Not to mention there is sushi, I just wish there was more of a selection. I am sure we will be back once the weather warms up to sit on the deck overlooking the River, but will likely stick to cocktails. When it comes to dinner, I prefer a heartier menu, but that's just me. read more

If you're looking for a fancy date spot right on the water, 1330 is definitely the place to go. My partner and I were severely underdressed (though no one made us feel lame, so that was very nice), but it was still a lovely, albeit brief, experience. Definitely on the pricier end, but the cocktails are well worth it. I had the Mad Men, which if you like bourbon, I could not begin to recommend enough. We had already made dinner plans (and the food prices were a bit out of our wheelhouse) so we only stopped in for a drink, but I would definitely like to go back when I'm a little less broke, as the food look fantastic when it was walked by. Emmy was a darling server, so friendly and kind and engaging. I would honestly go to 1330 again just to have another conversation with her, she was so fun to talk to. Though 1330 is far more upscale than our usual spots, Emmy made us feel not only that we weren't out of place, but as if we were having a conversation with an old friend. read more

1330 recently opened and I was excited to check it out. Located in the flats, there is street or metered or lot parking around making it decently convenient to come eat here! We ate outside in the patio but as we passed the inside, the bar looked super cool with the tables lit up from the granite. Super neat! Patio was large with a great view (see pics). I loved the "lady in the water" cocktail. Great combination of sweet and alcohol, would order this exact drink again! Food menu includes "shareables" and mains and salads and entrees but we ordered a bunch of shareables because their entree list is still small (2 items) so we didn't want to limit ourselves. Brussel sprouts were hands down my favorite item on the list. If I had to choose veggies or meat, I usually choose meat. But this time the Brussels won me over. They had the perfect crunch and were both sweet and savory and oh my gosh so freaking good! Fries were decent, I personally wish there was more truffle flavor because it tasted more regular fries to me. Fig wraps were creative and the honey took it to the next level! I was disappointed in the lamb chops. Our serving had lots of fat on it and I thought it didn't look as well prepared as the restaurant had advertised on their social media pages. Regardless it was tasty. Had a great experience with a sweet server (Elysia). Would come back for the view and shareables! read more
