Food was extremely good. Had the lamb chops. Son had the same. Started off with a waitress but ended up with a more aggressive waiter. I say aggressive in that he just had that kind of demeanor. Overall, keeping this short and sweet, food good, waiter could use work. Price is on the steep side. Being able to sit outside was a plus. Would I eat there again- yes read more

Appetizers and wine were very good. My glass of Riesling was excellent. The Bartenders were helpful. My only major criticism was the snow removal in the parking lot and side walks. They really needed attention. If you plan on going to this establishment, please use drive off of 306. Entering off of Tyler is a hazard. read more

Billy's is a classic Martini Bar located in Mentor. It is hidden back in a business lot so it is a bit tricky to find and parking is hard to get if you come on the weekend. The outside of the bar has a swanky vibe to it with : couches with pillows, fireplace, and even igloos in the winter time. I went here Friday night with a friend to get cocktails and have a good conversation. Upon entering, we were so confused. I hadn't been here in a few years and the inside looked so different to when I have been here previously. Right when we walked in there was a band playing right by the entrance door performing which is kinda cool but it was SOOOO loud I couldn't hear my friend the entire time even though I was sitting next to her at the bar. We didn't know we needed reservations to come here and get a table so we got stuck at the bar. I liked the idea of a band performing but c'mon we want to be able to hear each other talk. The bartender was right across from us taking drink orders and I could barely hear him either. I was even more confused when I couldn't hear him explain why I was double charged. It's Wednesday today I'm writing this review and went last Friday and my credit card still hasn't been refunded from that double charge. I have called Billy's and left a voicemail to speak with someone who can fix this issue and never got a call back. I even went in yesterday, on Tuesday after work to see if I could speak to a manager in person since no one had returned my call. I get there and there's one person working there and said the manager wasn't in but he took my info and told me the manager would give me a call that day... well that hasn't happened at all. It's such an inconvenience to not only be charged twice but to have to drive out of my way to try to get a refund for their mistake. It makes me not want to come back as I'm frustrated. The drinks are very good but strong! They have a lot of options for martinis. I did get the S'more's one to start and my friend did also neither of us liked it. It was ridiculously chocolate-y and tasted like straight espresso. I would expect that from an espresso martini but not smores. My friend loves espresso martinis but she didn't like it. I did order the Blueberry Lemonade one I believe it was called and it was delicious. I do recommend that one! I would love to come here again for some good martinis however not getting a response back from the manager or staff member hoping to resolve my issue with double charging me is frustrating to say the least. read more

Went and tried out Billy's martini bar. It was really good. What's more interesting as you get a sidecar with every martini you order their martinis are amazing inexpensive food is OK but I didn't go to martini bar to eat. I went there to drink so if you're looking for a refreshing martini, this is the spot tucked away in a quiet read more

Ahh Billy's great new memories made at this place. The atmosphere was very welcoming I believe our servers name was Ronnie. He was very welcoming! The drinks were amazing I got three different flavors, I had two there and one to go! Honestly that's the best part finishing the left overs and home and still having a refreshing beverage to tag along with read more

We dined in 03/09/2024. The night was very busy due to an amazing band. The service was amazing we were a part a birthday celebration group. The waitress was very prompt as soon as we sat down she took drink and app/food orders. For drinks we ordered a pickle martini hubby said it was very good. I had the espresso martini with espresso bean in the drink it was good but the star was the peanut butter martini. Now on to the food we ordered the spinach dip it was pretty bland and flavor less so we sent it back. Now on to the amazing fish and chips it was seasoned to perfection and the fries were delicious it comes with house made tarter (kinda weird, mayo and pickles) and ketchup. We also ordered the lobster ravioli plate and it was amazing and full of flavor. The tempura shrimp was also amazing just missing cocktail sauce. I can't wait to dine and have spirits here again. read more

This is a great date night spot with a easygoing vibe. The wait staff is quick and friendly and the drinks come out in a timely manner. We got a typical gin martini and a cranberry martini. They gave us a shot glass extra for remaining cocktail from the shake mixer. The parking can get hard on the weekend and they don't take reservations. They do have party spaces that can be blocked off for office parties or some intimate affaire. read more

Very nice experience nice crowd great food I will be back service is great nice bands especially when they play outside in warm weather

This place is definitely a vibe. Service was terrific. The food was delicious and I could've kept drinking these martinis all night. A diverse crowd - definitely a nice group of people - fun atmosphere - can't wait to come back in the spring when the outdoor is open. read more

The best martinis I've ever had! Amazing staff! The risotto balls are my absolute favorite!

I ordered a gyros sandwich. It was so salty. I couldn't eat it. I sent it back and nothing happened. They charged me full price for it and quit coming back to our table to see if we wanted refills on our drinks. We won't be back. read more

I finally got to have my first martini experience at Billy's. My friend and I went there for happy hour on a Friday, which is the best time to go in my opinion. It was a beautiful fall day, so the outside seating was top notch. They actually offer 4 different areas to sit. There's the indoor bar where every seat is distanced accordingly. Then the bar immediately outside of the indoor area offers an additional outdoor bar with a fireplace and lots of outdoor heaters. There is a large white "circus tent" that is nicely decorated with white lights and lots of seating. And the last area to sit is well, in the parking lot if you want to smoke. It's tastefully sectioned off with tables and bar stools, though. Having all the different areas to sit was nice. Something for everyone. My friend and I sat in the smoking section since he loves his cigars. I ordered a series of martinis starting with the Georgia Peach, followed by the Geisha, Key Lime Pie and Pickle martini. I would highly recommend the peach and the pickle martini. The pickle martini went especially well with the Beyond burger. Overall it was a pleasant experience. The servers were stretched VERY thin that day, which made the service lacking at times. But, we understand and it's worth the wait at Billy's. We want go back for a ladies night on a Tuesday. read more

It's okay. The service is slow. Don't get a flatbread pizza... it's literally on a tortilla .. no bread involved. Martinis are okay. No silverware. read more

I stopped by here on my way from Erie, PA I actually found this place by accident but it seemed like a really romantic place to end the day. The waitress was really friendly throughout the experience. They even have outdoor seating / lounge area if you prefer to sit out there. Food menu is outstanding, it even has plenty of vegan options too! The bar has tons of drink choices! I highly recommended alot of their martinis. Prices aren't bad at all too for a great place Like this. The atmosphere is great! It's not loud and obnoxious. Parking is easy to find. Highly recommend! read more

Good food, great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere but why in he'll do you music blasting in the background. Could not hear the waiter and no way could my wife and I have a conversation. It ruined all the evening. Sorry would probably have gone back many times. read more

Martinis are good and food is pretty good, though slightly overpriced for the serving size for certain apps (looking at you, delicious but overly expensive lemon scallops). Service can be really hit or miss. Our server last time literally smelled our martinis and her hair dipped over our drinks. I wasn't a fan but she was super sweet. read more

Very classy, atmosphere and ambience, if that's what you're looking for. The food is just OK. That's why I gave it a three star rating. They have bands there, but no dance floor so people are litter throughout the hallways entranceway and table isles. They built a spare room to one side but it's useless.they could put the restaurant in there in cater to the dancers on the other side. read more

Amazing drinks, AMAZING staff, and such a cute date night or night out spot! Great food as well!

This is a tough review to leave. The martinis and food for dinner tonight were really excellent; however, our server really did not do a good job attending to our table. This is our third time out to eat in the past week and by far our worst service, and some of the worst I've had in Mentor since I've lived here in 8 years. Our server clearly was more concerned with larger parties and not our party of two. Needless to say, this is reflected in the tip tonight. At one point, someone from the bar noticed that we had been sitting for a long time and came to take our drink order, and we very much appreciated that gentleman. He also was finally the person who helped us check out and offered us free drinks the next time that we come, even after we mentioned to our server that we had waited over 20 minutes for the check. The restaurant industry has been clearly impacted by Covid, but the restaurant has plenty of staff. read more

Great martinis, fabulous atmosphere and wonderful bands. My friends and I always have a really good time. The employees are fantastic and go above and beyond. read more

There is no reason to put yourself through an experience there. Waited over 25 minutes for a server to show up after we went to the bar to get our own drinks. The food is below mediocre and skimpy. There used to be a good Happy Hour every day, but they only do it once a week now. They expect patrons to pay more for 75% less. read more

Honestly best service I've had in a really long time. My cousin and I come here for Friday happy hour and sit on the patio. All of the staff constantly checks in to make sure you're okay. There's never a moment I'm out of a drink or wondering when someone will come around to assist me. 10/10 recommend 7$ (STRONG) martinis and delicious food in a homey, welcoming environment. read more

Woah, this place was very expensive. The martinis are worth it and the service is phenomenal but the dishes were so pricey and not worth it. We got the scallops $14 dollars and we got maybe five scallops and some small scallions. So not worth it. Our server was phenomenal but the portions were a little stingy and not worth the menu price. read more

Horrible experience! Will not be going back! I've never heard of saving seats at the bar in a crowded establishment. Would think if the seat had been empty for almost and hour and the people that the person was saving the seats for wasn't even in the establishment that anyone could seat there. The management was no help and I feel because the person that was saving the seats was white and myself and friend being black they we're not willing to help! read more

One thing I don't love about this place is that it draws so many that it can be hard to find a seat on more popular nights! The atmosphere is fun, comfortable and uptown casual. The lighting effects and decor finishes are trendy and well thought out. The outdoor patio area, even though right alongside the parking lot, is equally inviting. Being heated and partitioned off with heavy curtains makes it usable even during winter months. It does draw a lot of smokers which makes it nearly impossible to be enjoyed by non smokers. Even sitting close to the door that the servers use can be bothersome as the smoke is pulled in with every opening of the door. The martinis are poured table side and each come with a sidecar which make them quite generous for their price points of $8-$12. There is a large wine and beer selection also. The menu has several sharing appetizer options for snacking while socializing. I've tried several of them from dips to pizzas and they've been tasty. I choose to come here though more for the drinks and atmosphere. There's also a smaller, but adequate dinner menu. I have not tried any of these dishes to comment on the quality, but they sound worth a try. The pricing is pretty much spot on comparatively. Depending on the night, it can get sometimes rowdy and loud with a younger crowd. I prefer weeknights for this reason. This is definitely a popular location for all types of social gatherings though. Great job Billy's! read more

This was my very first visit, and I had a really great experience! My friends arrived before me and were a bit buzzed from the martini's they had ordered. They were full of suggestions as to what I should order. Being the driver of the evening, I knew I couldn't drink much. I ordered the blue lemonade martini. I loved it because it wasn't too sweet. I tried my friend's drinks as well, and they were all perfectly made. My friends ordered a few shots. As the night wound down, we were the only ones left in the lounge. The staff gave us free dragon berry shots, which was very kind of them. They made sure that those who were clearly intoxicated were not driving home, which ended the night on a very good note as I felt they truly were happy to have us as customers. 5 stars. read more

Very fun place came here with a friend. Upscale but we came casual and didn't feel awkward. Amanda is a excellent bartender. Inside heating was nice had a lemon drop martini which was decent. Seating was very cozy. I didn't get a chance to try the food but it's on a list of things to do next time. And I u understand there is heated outside seating which I will have to also check out. read more

Billy's has never disappointed! Been going for years and will continue. The seafood pizza is one of my favorites with a Desperate Housewives martini of course! Calamari, spinach and artichoke dip, spring rolls, Bruschetta I just a few of the favorites I have had over the years. read more

Very short staffed, food is just okay pretty sure everything is just microwaved but it still tasted good. Drinks were fine mine was pretty watered down. Just meh read more

Drinks are great!! Service was attentive and friendly. Nice patio area. Went on a weekend night, no entertainment.

I go here at least once a month for date nights and to hang out with my girls. I was there this past week Game 4 for Cavs Vs. Golden State and had a GREAT time! Live music was playing there were big screens everywhere. I couldn't be more pleased with the atmosphere and of course the amazing drinks. Had 2 S'more Martini's! My husband had a Angry Orange Beer off the Tap! Our waitress was so helpful and even small talked with us about our detest for GS. Thanks again for an amazing night Billy's!!! read more

This place popped up on Yelp as a late night food place and it looked good so we came out. Kitchen closes at 11pm. That's hardly late night. Drink menu is loaded and the menu looks good for when they're open. Guess we can try when it's not after the kids go to bed. read more

so amazing ! awesome party vibe. ryan was great , BRING: a speaker and !!!!! a blanket :) xoxo

I am not sure why they dont have a phone to answer for take our orders. I would have used them 4 other times, but they only have a recording for reservations. Their online ordering system never works, the submit button is greyed out. Rating is due to can never get hold of the restaurant. read more

This place has great martinis and food ! It's terrible to go see a band they deserve ever table even spots at the bar.. guess those peoples money is greener than mine. Never going back ! When I called I was told they don't reserve tables outside but every table was reserved. If your disabled don't bother going cuz you will stand read more

Don't waste your time here. The martinis are great but that's about the only good thing about the place. Got a pizza which was basically 2 tortillas stacked on top of each other with toppings. It was a margherita pizza and it was sooooo watery and soggy! My friend and I split ONE pizza but we each got charged for a pizza as if we got 2! Along with our table at a big sign on it for $8 flirtini which we all got, yet we were charged full price! They took my card ahead of time so I was charged for all these mistakes & when I told the waitress she gave me attitude. She claimed she reversed the mistake but when I looked at my bank account the next day she didn't give me the correct amount back. Awful experience and will not be going back ever. read more

I'd been to Billy's when they were in the hotel facility on the east side of rt 306 and always enjoyed it. I must say, with the move, they really reinvented themselves. We rolled in at about midnight on a Saturday after a casino night charity fundraiser, dinner, Chinese auction. Since we didn't win the coveted Booze Cooler door prize, we had to use our imagination for the "after party". One of the couples we were with suggested we try the new Billy's Martini Bar. We must hang with these peeps more often! But I digress... Ambiance - Billy's is an Oasis in the ever present Mentor OH strip mall desert wasteland . Having arrived after dark we were greeted with festive and inviting white lights adorning the parking lot trees. The sirens' song of music, laughter and animated discussion drew us the rest of the way in. The place was well attended by an eclectic mix of ages, races and styles, but not overly crowded. We sat ourselves at 4 chair high top table. We had a choice of leather couches and chairs framing a casual but elegant fireplace area. It appears sections can be made semi-private by drawing the wispy opaque ceiling to floor curtains. Music that ordinarily wouldn't be on my playlist, but I very much enjoyed, filled the place (albeit a tad too loud) All in all a very cool cabana meets India vibe! Service - We sat ourselves but were quickly attended to by Mike. We spent a couple minutes perusing the vast martini menu and made our selections. Thinking Mike was going to bring our bar filled glasses of nectar of the gods, we got a pleasant surprise and very nice touch. The martinis are delivered in the shaker and dispensed in to the awaiting glass/s after a good table side shaking. Your martini is poured into a classic glass and, as a bonus, into a tall shot glass sized "sidecar". I hadn't even brought my martini to my lips and I was already enjoying it. Throughout, multiple staff members made sure we had everything we needed. We were well taken care of without being smothered. Quality - We adventurously ordered (2) Hot and Dirty and (1) spicy Bloody Mary vodka martinis. After they arrived with all their regalia, we dove in head first. This was the best martini I can remember having and my companions concurred. Perfectly chilled, shaken and formulated! Having the sidecar to pour in to the glass or sipped out of directly added to the experience. Yuuummm... Value - Of course you can make "similar" concoctions at home at a fraction of the cost. However, you can't duplicate the experience of having a martini expertly delivered to you in such a great atmosphere. At $8/martini I found it to be an excellent value (all things considered). I say $8 IS a good value because I've been to self proclaimed martini bars serving'em up at $12-15 a pop. Bottom Line - if you haven't already , check out Billy's for a nightcap or to get a great evening started. We didn't get to experience the other side and outside areas of the bar, so we will be back soon. Maybe we'll see you there! read more

No longer in a hotel bar? Yes! An old time fan of Billy's, the service and atmosphere is amplified from the old location with a high energy uptown feel. Great drinks, crowd, and parking is MUCH improved. I have not tried the food but that's not what this is about. If you're sick of the downtown Willoughby scene I strongly recommend you give this a chance. But beware - it's busy! read more
