    "Go the Distance" eggplant
    Keith M.

    OK... I've thought about this for a while... let's get to it. Hedy & Talia Trovato are Chefs/Co-Owners of this brand-new establishment. They are certainly not new to the restaurant business as they operated the original Coppia in Chesterland for three years. This new location has all the makings of a marvelous fine dining experience. But they do have some "rethinking" to do. The new location at the Lost Nation Airport in Willoughby, Ohio is an interesting restart. The facility is all new and quite attractive. Parking is close and easy; just a short walk to what appears to be the front door (or what should be). As you approach the double glass doors you see a nicely appointed, very spacious foyer. Curiously, you are confronted by a sign pointing you to go around the front of the building to enter the restaurant. As you do so, you approach the front patio. Which is quite large and nicely appointed. There is a gate to enter, however there is no handle on the outside. You have to reach over to the inside of the gate to unlatch it. The handle is a bit awkward and catches you off guard at first making it a bit difficult. Once you get through the gate you are faced with two doors. One leads into the kitchen. The other is the entrance to the restaurant. Thus far the signage is a bit meager. Upon entering the establishment we were immediately greeted by a very pleasant lady with a big smile. She checked our reservation and promptly seated us... at a table directly behind her 5 feet from the front door where she stood 2 feet behind me the entire evening. Fortunately she was an extremely pleasant woman that smiled and laughed easily. I just found our location a bit odd... and crowded. It also became obvious very quickly, as a wind blew up my back every time the door opened, that this situation would become intolerable as winter approached. The current layout is going to require everyone in the dining room to wear their winter coats throughout their meal. Again, I refer to the double doors into the foyer that is positioned perfectly to be the correct entrance to this establishment (at least that's what the architect thought). Well, very quickly after we were seated a nice gentleman approached and introduced himself as Chris, our server for the evening. He asked what type of water we preferred and proceeded to pour. He explained the menu and took our drink orders. The wine list is a bit sparce. There were no Italian wines by the glass (odd for an Italian leaning restaurant). But I did find a nice "Cab Franc" that was quite pleasant. Upon his return Chris answered several questions easily and efficiently. And we began to order. I had a desire for lamb and the only place I found it was in the appetizer section. I asked if there was something he could do to turn that into an entre' for me. He said it should be no problem to combine two orders and that should be sufficient. I was pleased and asked him to proceed. Our meal began to come out and it looked wonderful. The presentation of every dish was artistry. The Fried Eggplant with Whipped Feta and Pickled Farm Peppers was excellent. It had a crispy crunch on the outside and the inside was creamy and full of flavor. The wrong appetizer came out for me first try but they quickly recovered and brought me my "Lost in Palermo" with Marinated Tomato, Lemon Ricotta, Balsamic, Basil, Herb Focaccia. Again, marvelous presentation and fabulous flavors. The entree's began to arrive and were just as impressive. Fine dining is every bit as much a visual experience as it is smell and taste. All the food hit all the right notes. The Blackened Wild Caught Grouper, Eloté Orzo, Corn Crema was excellent. The Boneless Pork Chop, Tomato - Bacon Jam, Golden Polenta was amazing. My lamb lollipops were beautiful and prepared perfectly. There were six of them and they were one bite each... perfect. It was a bit strange that they showed up on two separate plates as two separate appetizers rather than combining it all on one plate as the entree' I requested. It did crowd the table a bit. But that did not take away from the quality of the food... marvelous. After dinner we ordered coffee and dessert. Curiously, we were informed they did not have coffee. Only espresso or cappuccino... odd? The cappuccino was fine so we ordered that. Note: In Italy they never drink cappuccino after noontime. It is strictly a morning beverage. But that's ok, we're American, we're in America and it tasted great... all is well. For dessert I ordered the "Field & Frost, Whipped Sweet Corn Panna Cotta with Blueberry Granita... nicely done. My brother ordered the Chocolate Tart, Campfire Smoked Crèmeux, Graham Crumble... ditto! Like I said, they have some rethinking to do but it's got good bones, great kitchen, excellent staff. Give them a little time and it's an easy 5 stars. Definitely give it a try and see what you think.

    Coppia was excellent. We went for restaurant week and loved every thing we ate. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff was so attentive.

    Phenomenal, the chefs table experience is as close as you can get to a Michelin star experience in NE Ohio. We had seven courses which were all beautifully plated, creative, and absolutely delicious. The quality of everything was excellent though the vegetables were particularly delicious, not sure where the source from but they were extremely flavorful and fresh. The wine pairing was also surprisingly excellent, some interesting choices that worked perfectly with each dish. The restaurant itself is a little clunky to get to- the entrance off the road is a little far from the restaurant, but the interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, they did an excellent job designing it.

"Hook and Hoof" has been in downtown Willoughby for quite a while so they must be doing something right. And the fact that there aren't that many high level dining establishments in the Willoughby area helps. The first thing I noticed was the facility is very narrow which lends to a crowded feel. And all you need is one overly boisterous table (which was right next to us) and the noise level can be overwhelming. The server we had for the evening was very pleasant. She did a good job being timely with everything. But, it was odd that she often did not listen to an entire request (or maybe just couldn't hear) before walking away. There were a couple of requests for simple standard items that she wasn't even sure they had. I just found it odd. The food however was excellent. The kitchen staff did an exemplary job all night. I had a marvelous cocktail from the well stocked bar. And my double cut pork chop was fantastic. So full of flavor, juicy, cooked exactly as I requested. The sides that accompanied it were just tender enough without being mushy. And my banana cream pie was great. Overall, I give "Hook and Hoof" a solid 4. I definitely can see us going back. They deserve another try. You should give them a try and see for yourself.

I will say the service was very slow, especially considering it was a Monday and hardly anyone else there - but I do acknowledge that they are a from scratch kitchen, so it makes sense. I will also say the portion sizes are a little small, but we all enjoyed our meals!

Unfortunately, that was not my experience with "Sage Karma Kitchen". We showed up there for a quick dinner. The room was maybe 25% full. Plenty of room for seating. The hostess thought it was a great idea to sit us directly in the scorching sun rather than every other table in the room that would have been shaded... oh well. Our waitress showed up to take our order before we had a chance to even pick up the menus. We asked for just a couple minutes and she cheerfully walked away. Seemingly, never to return. I looked all around for her until I found her leaning on the bar talking to friends. We finally placed our orders, somewhat begrudgingly. My wife had a bowl that she definitely enjoyed very much. She said she would like to return to try it again. I struggled to find anything on the menu that sounded remotely interesting and finally just ordered the hummus appetizer. I fear they left the flavor in the kitchen. It certainly never arrived at my table. When we were ready to leave I had to begin the search once more for our waitress. She was nowhere to be found. I couldn't even enlist the aid of the hostess because she had found a group of her own friends to talk with. Finally, I found our waitress and was able to escape. The two stars is only because my wife enjoyed her bowl. For me... naaa! Too bad. No second chance here.

The one bartender with blonde super curly hair was wearing a stripper outfit and twerking with her barely there mini skirt and easy to see thong on for all the men at the bar. Not to mention the two handfuls of shots she did with other patrons only added to her belligerent behavior. The other bartender was clearly picking up the slack but was also drinking heavily. Both were very pleasant with us but not very attentive. Food was good. Witnessed multiple people coming to the bar and waiting to be served and leaving without being helped after several minutes. The bar was not that busy and had many open seats mind you. I will mention, I put myself through school being a bartender and I know that letting loose with regulars helped build lasting friendships but I could never imagine getting that intoxicated while at work. I'm hoping that the owners of this bar aren't loosing their asses on giving away merchandise. If I was the owner, I would literally fire everyone but the cook. if you want a freak show.... This is your place to go. BTW... giving 2 stars because my food was good and beer was cold.
