What a great place and wonderful surprise. Wonderful service. Stopped in for lunch. Loved the cuisine, the service and pricing.

I was driving from Chicago back to New Jersey and stopped by Cleveland overnight. I came in around 9:30 pm on Thursday night and the restaurant was empty and they were getting ready to close early. I preserved the Pan Seared Walleye and the bartender was glad since she thought that was a great local dish. I was not disappointed at all the Walleye, thought cooked from frozen steak, was crispy one side and tender and juicy on the other side. The grilled polenta and ratatouille tasted great as well. What a delicious late dinner! Definitely worth coming back to sample more dishes. read more

I had never heard of this place until recently but since I'm local, it was good that I checked it out. First impressions...I thought it was for sure closed because it was so dang dark in here. The room is spacious with rustic looking decor but nothing stood out as too creative or high end. Maybe it was because it was a Monday evening? Maybe their head chef wasn't there? I don't know but I'm probably not coming back to this place... Pros: I'm scratching my head here because I can't think of much...not crowded was nice. Location was convenient with plenty of parking...They tried with presentation of making a small amount of food arranged artistically unsuccessfully Cons: -Our waiter was extremely slow and there were only 3 other tables the whole night. He waited 10 minutes after all our food was cleared to ask if we wanted dessert. No...just the check but that took another 10 minutes of waiting to take it...we wasted a lot of time here because of his speed. He was nice enough but not attentive -We ordered the poutine, beef short rib special and salmon nuggets. The nuggets were cold on the inside. My date spat his out. The beef short rib was shredded into smithereens and served on 3 crackers. There was not enough food for a mouse. It's not my first rodeo with poutine. You can't just take regular skinny burnt end fries and melt mozzarella on it. Where were the cheese curds? Where was all the gravy? Fail. -The bathroom smelled funky, was extremely cold and didn't have a working soap dispenser -The menu also looked too basic. Wish they had more choices and variety read more

Food and service is great. Love the pretzels bagel and the french kiss salad. Never had a bad experience.

Shared beef short rib with my husband on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago. Reasonably priced and SO good!

Nice hotpot spot. Nice selection of broths and additions. We visited inn the day of the eclipse, so we had the restaurant to ourselves for a bit. read more

So we are out doing some Christmas shopping and were looking for a new place ( somewhere we hadn't been). We decided on kitchen 56 and can I say it was one of the best in a while. Located in a plaza, it doesn't have a lot of seating, but the place is wonderful. Without going on for days it is a place you really need to check out the food and Jay our server was as personable as could be even though we were only there for a short time the place in one word is...FANTASTIC. read more

56 was such a great experience. I am so glad I decided to eat here on my way through the greater Cleveland area! The ambiance was that of a delightful social kitchen with simple seating, and cheerful wait staff. I chose the Piedi Nudi which was one of their yummy, more of a veggie pizza. It was delicious! Again with the simple, I had the British Invasion which is an Earl Grey infused Vodka with lemon and honey, sort of like a cup of tea on stilts. :) It was really tasty! I really enjoyed just being there and, traveling alone, I didn't feel like I was an imposition dining single. All around, I would say this was a great experience. I will return when I'm in the area. read more

Asked for salad and medium rare beef. Beef was two days old and well done. Did not finish the salad. Very disappointed. 2nd disappointed meal there. Will not go back there. read more

Service and food wonderful. Highly recommended. Tucked away in the Solon strip mall. Nice welcoming restaurant. read more

56 kitchen was such a wonderful experience and worth going out of your way to eat at. They are most known for their salads because originally they had 56 different salads. They have since expanded the menu and reduced the number of salads. That seems to have been a smart choice because people do like variety and everything we tasted was phenomenal. There is something on the menu for everyone. The pizza was artsy looking and tasted great. The crust was stuffed with a ricotta cheese. The wing sauces were very good, my favorite sauce was the Thai chili. I absolutely loved the artichoke hearts with lime aioli. Customer service was top notch here. Very friendly staff and wonderful service. We would definitely return when traveling through northern Ohio. read more

Large servings. Slow service. Food and ambiance was forgettable. I would not seek this place out.

Such a cute spot in Solon. Very warming when you walk in. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Their pizzas are delicious as well as the club salad. To go orders are simple and done in a timely fashion. I always enjoy a visit to this spot! read more

I'm a burger snob visiting from out of town. I'm also gluten free so meeting my standards is very difficult. We stumbled on this place randomly. Holy smokes! This burger blew me away. I may need to revisit before I leave town, but it might just be my favorite. Ever. The rest of our party loved their food. Highly recommend! read more

Great food, great service, great ambiance, really everything is fantastic! Definitely don't sleep on this little hidden gem of Solon!

Let me start by saying I love cafe 56! Although the menu could be overwhelming the salads were always delicious and those chips?!? AMAZING (I love a fresh chip) so when 56 kitchen opened I put it on my list.. we arrive to a strip mall which I was a little disappointed in, not a great location but awesome interior. It was warm and toasty and super busy! We only had to wait for a moment before we were seated. It's a little tight, I felt like I was eating with my neighbors but luckily they were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Great specials but the menu is a little of a mashup, I couldn't quite figure out the cuisine, it was a mix of Med and Indian style, with everything from short ribs to eggplant. The pizzas sounded good so we order the garlic shrimp pizza and I got a Caesar side salad. The pizza was a disappointment, the shrimp had no flavor and the crust was too fluffy and didn't have a good BITE.. no flavor to the crust, almost tasted premade instead of fresh dough.. overall flavorless.. My salad was ok, but it came with one huge crouton which was just overkill. Our server was sweet and accommodating with a great personality! She was happy to be there and I love that.. 3 stars because I genuinely like the place but they definitely have to work on that pizza! read more

My husband and I were in Solon, OH for our friends' wedding and were lucky enough to go to dinner here. What a FABULOUS experience!!! The staff was kind and able to fit us in without a reservation. Our food was so fresh and delicious, and Lexii, our waitress, was lovely and obviously a fan of the place. She enthusiastically recommended items on the menu and shared the story of the restaurant's origin and development through the years. I chose the French Kiss Salad with salmon and it was perfectly prepared. My husband picked the seasonal Fall Apple Salad--also wonderful--and we each tasted both. A glass of white sangria, which was a clever twist on the usual version, nicely complimented my meal, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed his bourbon flight. Finally, we brought a slice of chocolate mocha cheesecake back to our room. I know we won't be disappointed when we break into it later! Thank you, 56 Kitchen--particularly Lexii!!! read more

Just delicious! Service is amazing. And the ambience is family oriented. Everyone working there is amazing..

Absolute worst experience we've had in a long time. Went for lunch on February 13, 2024 and ordered a burger. I asked for my burger to be medium rare (a very common cook for a burger) and after a somewhat long wait, it came out well done ... actually, beyond well done. It was burnt on the outside and completely dry and overcooked inside. I showed our server and she apologized, and ordered a second medium rare burger. After a little while the second burger came out and this time it was raw. Completely raw throughout. I showed our server and she called over the head chef. That was a complete waste of time; he had a piss-poor attitude and started making excuses and said there was a lot of stuff going on, but I pointed out that the restaurant was empty with only 3 or 4 tables occupied. Even our server was taken aback by how rude he was and the total lack of customer service he provided. He seemed peeved to even have to deal with me. He asked if I wanted something else and I said I had wanted a burger, but apparently their cook was incapable of cooking a medium rare burger. At that point, my wife and I left and vowed to never come back. If the grill cook can't even make a simple burger to the proper temperature, that definitely, in my opinion, does not bode well for the cooking abilities throughout the restaurant. How this grill cook even got a job speaks volumes about the management staff and head chef. Do yourself a favor and stay away ... especially if you want a burger. read more

Great service and food was excellent. Only complaint would be the poutine cheese seemed to have melted from one piece of cheese vs little cheese curds. read more

56 Kitchen it was our first time dining for lunch. Had a great bowl of French onion soup. Had a classic burger dressed up was very tasty. I would recommend 56 Kitchen good food and great service. Priced average. read more

One of the best restaurants I have found in a strip mall location in Solon. Really enjoyed the diversity of options on the menu - lots of vegetarian and vegan picks, that and gluten free all clearly denoted on the menu. The dinner menu has something for everyone, the kitchen is making a wide range of different food genres. Solid wine, beer and drink options - reasonably priced, just a tad expensive. Menu items were also reasonably priced, perhaps a tad pricey for Solon, OH. I ate the veggie burger, it was huge, and my husband enjoyed the pork chop (delicious but a tad salty). I would definitely consider eating here again. Biggest watch out - it was around ~10 degrees F outside, and we were seated near the door. Got blasted every time someone came in, even though they had 2 doors. Wish I was sitting closer to the kitchen... UPDATE: I've dined 3 times now at 56 Kitchen and they've earned upgrade from 4 to 5 stars. Consistently good service, their menu has something for everyone (all dietary needs), and good is always tasty. read more

Visited a few weeks back, one of the first restaurants I tried in Solon. The ambiance is nice, there were probably about six guests there. I sat at the bar and was serviced fairly quickly. The bartender suggested some type of blueberry vodka drink, it was just ok. Calamari for an appetizer was more like crumbs! I ordered the shrimp & grits without peppers. It was just ok, probably not worth the money. It took a while for the bartender to close me out because she was too busy gossiping with her coworker about the work gossip. Needless to say, I didn't return and don't recommend this place. read more

Great food! The chicken is a little rough but I just won't order that bc EVERYTHING else is amazing

My my the food was so good. The hummus seasoning was a bit different but you know I think I liked it. Lol it was great we even bought some to take home. The Flank Sinatra salad was also very good. And also very filling. Definitely come back read more

Food was plentiful and good. Service was excellent. Had a very attentive waitress. Comfortable place to be.

Wow! The food is amazing. I did the pick 3-4-so, I got the Wedge salad, which had a light ranch and was just delicious. This was followed by the flank steak w buttery seasonings and crisp Brussels sprouts and zucchini with fresh tomatoes. The serve was also impeccable; friendly and prompt. This sort of tucked away, off the street sign radar place is just excellent. Flavor, flavor, flavor. The place even smells good! I will be back! read more

Everything they make is unique and made of high quality ingredients. Service is a little slow but the tastes that come out of this place are ridiculous! 56 is legit read more

Delicious! Top to bottom everything we ordered was perfect. Started with the hummus and then a salad. Shared a veggie burger which wasn't "fake meat" but truly beans, lentils etc. I will definitely return here when I'm in the area again! read more

I really wanted to like this place. After lots of research coming in to town I picked this place since it was rated number one. Order the fried chicken with brussels sprouts and roast cauliflower. Unfortunately the chicken was just kind of OK and pretty soggy after being held in the carry out container for a little bit. The wedge salad that I got in addition to was actually pretty good. Ordered two sauces but they missed one in my order. Unfortunately they gave me no plasticware or napkins to boot. Not sure if it was worth the $20 that I spent. I'm sure it's probably better when you eat there instead of getting a carry out. read more

This is our second time in this restaurant. Food and service are good. Ambulance is nice. Waiter was very friendly and fast. We really like their chicken wings appetizer. My wife fish was also very good. I had Pho which was also good. read more

What a gem! Looking for an awesome Place for dinner, then look no further! The atmosphere is rustic modern and we loved that while the restaurant was full, the tables are very well spaced, so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of the next table. The food was out of this world! We loved the Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower wings, burger, and BBQ Brisket Pizza! read more

The food has always been top quality along with the service of kind and friendly staff. The atmosphere is very casual and I nice place to either go out with your significant other or some friends and have an enjoyable drink, dinner or both. It is one of our favorites. read more

Always fantastic food and service. Staff is great. Good apps and light food or full meals. Get the Brussel sprouts

Had a great meal with amazing service from Brittany B! Definitely recommend! And save room for dessert, the donut holes are a must

I just had the most delicious salmon/avocado burger here. It was cooked perfectly and melt-in-your-mouth. The staff was friendly, responsive and the service was quick. My friend had the Cobb salad and it was huge and very tasty. Can't wait to go back! read more

The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered a salad. Looked very appealing. It was loaded with lots of toppings. Yum! I ordered Chicken carbonara. The ingredients were fresh. The chicken was perfectly cooked and was absolutely divine. I would have enjoyed a sauce to go on my pasta dish. On the upside, they were very generous with the bacon. read more

Great place. Menu was creative and interesting. Service was good, and everything tasted great.

Been here a few times, great staff and nice decor. Cauliflower wings with garlic parm sauce are good; burgers are good; fries are yummy; good Cobb salad, roasted half chicken dinner with potatoes and charred broccoli - chicken was good, would have loved more sauce, there really wasn't much and it was kind of dry. Definitely a solid place. read more

Today I said to my parents, we should go out to dinner after i get my hair colored and run my errands. So then ensues the "where should we go?" conversation. I said well I'll check Yelp and see what I can find since we like to try new places around town. 56kitchen was one of the first restaurants that popped up so I started reading the reviews which were really good! Next I had to look at the pictures and everything looked delicious as well. Made a reservation on the website which was really easy to do. We got there at 6 and were seated right away. This place is really unassuming from the outside, just another door in a strip mall with a red sign above it. But like they say, looks can be deceiving! It's really nice inside with a unique vibe and doors hanging on the back wall (see the pics). Service was impeccable. I ordered the strawberry lemon drop and while a little sweet for me it was still good. Not a bad price at $7. But the star of this show was the food! I got the flank steak with fries (ok maybe a little hipster that they call them frites), but those frites were soooooo good! Steak was delicious as well and cooked perfectly. My dad got the pork chop and loved it, mom ordered the love bird and also enjoyed it. Maybe just a tad pricey at $94 for 3, but the food was so good and we're definitely going to go back. And isn't that the true testament? If you're willing to go back then you know you made a good choice! I'm thinking salmon for my next visit.... read more
