Service is quick, evenly spaced out appetite and entrees which is nice without being rushed. Having a reservation on a Saturday night is must. We came in ad s party of 4, thankfully we had reservations, the place was packed, the bar and restaurant were full. Once sat, our sever went over the cocktails and beer list, taking appetizer and shareable orders. Once the appetizers came out we put in for entrees and then dessert. Starting with the ceviche, incredible flavor with the tight touch of heat and citrus balance, almost made me wish I ordered 2 so I could have it as my entree as well. The chickpeas were perfectly seasoned with great texture. For our entrees we opted for the paperdale, house made, banh mi pork sandwich, a burger and the scallops. Everything was cooked perfectly, albeit the scallops were not so satisfying the mix of flavors were off for me, maybe it was the mushroom. We also had the white chocolate Jerry bread pudding, the perfect end to a meal, I'm a sucker for bread pudding.

Fantastic Wine Bar Experience in Rocky River!…read more My girlfriend and I visited this past Sunday in the mood for charcuterie and wine, and everything was excellent. We both ordered the Moscato, enjoyed a charcuterie board with a delicious selection of meats and cheeses, and each of us had a bowl of their soup of the day - roasted red pepper soup. Everything was perfectly prepared and flavorful. During the holidays, the wine bar transforms into the Nutcracker Wine Bar, and it's tastefully and beautifully decorated. The shelves above the bar are adorned with nutcrackers, and the ceiling is covered with big, stunning gold ornaments--it's a magical, festive atmosphere that makes the experience even more special. This spot is a must-visit for a relaxing afternoon of great food, wine, and holiday charm--we'll definitely be back!

Recently, I tried Dark Halo with the ISB Root Beer at the Winter Warmer. I'm hoping it becomes a seasonal flavor. I generally sit at the bar, the service is anyways great. The ambiance doesn't feel like your typical brewery. It's very bright inside but it has an open floor plan. I believe some nights they host trivia. During my most recent trip I tried the short ribs. They were good and hit the spot but I think I'll stick to the burgers.

Super sad to write that Char is now called "Avo"......??? I came here last year when it was Char…read moreWhiskey Bar and LOVED it! Atmosphere was a wood, rustic, whiskey barrel feel and the food was great. Came back this year, and it was probably the most brutal restaurant experience I've had in a while. So Char is now called Avo Mexican, but they didn't change the atmosphere to replicate a Mexican place. It's still whiskey themed- with signs slapped on the old logo. They still have some of the old menu items from Char- which is so confusing too. When we walked in I asked the host if the bar was open seating. He said "oh I don't know" and walked away. We just sat at the bar since he didn't come back. We asked the Bartender what happened to Char and he said the owners wanted a rebrand. But it looked like a whiskey bar still....they didn't rebrand anything. I got a marg and my guy asked for a Mexican beer they used to have. Bartender said we haven't had that in a year. So they got rid of all their Mexican beers....? Even though they are now a Mexican place? So he ended up getting a Coors Light. My Marg lacked any sweetness or Agave. It was tequila and lime juice- poor bartender was struggling with 4 bar guests. It was kinda sad. I got a taco salad and my guy got a burger. He used to get the burger with fries, but now that it's Mexican, they only have chips. We had chips and guac for an app, so that was super annoying. Fries used to be really good. And who wants a burger without fries? Place wasn't busy, but our food took 35 minutes. Bartender kept apologizing and saying the kitchen was slammed. It clearly wasn't, I'm sure the cooks were adjusting to a new menu. Food was okay. Used to be really good, but I wouldn't recommend anymore. I guess they close at 8pm some days, because around 7:40 when we just had gotten our food, the bartender said it's last call. We were kinda laughing that they did a last call during normal dinner hours. My fiancé was considering getting another beer after dinner, but I guess they were closing...so weird. I've never seen a place close at peak dinner hours. No idea why they rebranded it. Confusing signage, food is not good anymore, drinks are bad, atmosphere doesn't make sense, menu is lackluster, service and kitchen are lacking, hours are bad. Sucks to write this, but I 100% will not be returning.
