But he sure would have loved our lunch here if he had been physically present for it. It had all the things he liked: the option to eat inside or outside but under a covered roof, an easy-going and friendly atmosphere, and space for his favorite people. I planned this event from another state and sleuthed many dining options for 15 or so people. When I called the restaurant and explained our situation--we wouldn't know exactly what time we'd be arriving or exactly how many people we'd be--I received such reassurance that they'd be happy to have our business and that we'd be taken care of. And we sure were! Even though there was a biker event also going on and more people than I expected dining, our service was friendly and responsive. I was so surprised at how wide of variety the menu was! It was also really pretty to look at Lake Roaming Rock from the back patio. Most of us attendees live 1-2 hours from this restaurant, so none of us had ever been. Afterward we posted photos on social media, a distant friend shared a memory of them and my dad competing in a canoe race across Lake Roaming Rock in the 1970s. That just felt like Kismet. Paradise Bay, thank you for providing a great place to create more happy memories.

Today was a lake day. We were on the water the entire hot…read moresunny day. On the way home we stopped a paradise Bay in roaming Shores. It's not much to look at from the outside and the interior is nothing to brag about either. However, the food is really good. My wife had the barbecue ribs that came out hot and saucy, and when she picked him up, they were falling off the bones. Good sauce, good seasoning, and prepared fantastically. I had the Philly cheesesteak which was OK nothing to brag about. It was an actual chopped steak and not steakums. The steak was hot well seasoned full of peppers, but could have used more cheese. I ordered mushrooms and they never showed up but oh well. The french fries were interesting. I ordered them crispy and they came out kind of mealy. A couple things that truck me is not so good was that a sandwich and ribs came with a side actually the ribs came on two sides. I was charged for my french fries, which was supposed to be part of the meal. We were also charged $.50 for a glass of water which I think is kind of petty and something that a restaurant shouldn't do. Our server was a nice young lady, but she wasn't exceptionally attentive and surely didn't know too much about what was on the menu. All in all the food was good. The service was so so I'd come back again.

We've passed this place year after year without going in, and boy were we missing out! It's not big…read moreby any means, but very cozy. The kitchen is out in the open and it"s neat to see all the hard work they put into their dishes. I ordered the cheese ravioli and the sauce was the best sauce I've ever had in my life. I was sopping it up with the last piece of bread we got. The ravioli was also cooked to perfection- not too hard or soft. The house salad was really fresh and the vinagarette dressing was tasty as well. Took a piece of the lemon cake to go, and it was also extremely delicious. My husband got chicken parm, and shrimp cocktail, nd he loved both. The portion was huge! All of the portions were huge and you definitely get a great sized meal for the price (the pasta meals come with salads, by the way!) It was super busy and more and more people were lined up for tables, so hopefully we can come by one More time on our trip if it's not too busy! I can see why people wait to eat, because it's 100% worth it! This is now a staple on our Geneva trips for sure.

The people working in the restaurant were just flat out rude. My boyfriend and I went in to place a…read moretogo order tonight and were met with attitude from both the lady cooking and the lady working the register. We were told that they were behind and would not be able to fulfill the order until 7:45 pm. When we tried to place the togo order for 7:45 the people working told us that they weren't taking togo orders anymore. The restaurant seems to be unorganized and extremely terrible with customer service. Between the rude employees and the inconsistency i could care less to go back to this place, the food isn't worth the miserable people working there.

The staff works really well together to deliver timely service from the moment you sit down. The servers are well-versed in knowledge of the menu and making suggestions to accommodate requests! For the food- for starters, the bread and compound butter are absolutely incredible and fresh. The duck flatbread is full of unique and cohesive flavors! I ordered the Korean bbq steak and my goodness, that did not disappoint. I will say as a suggestion, the Brussels sprouts would be better on the side and crisped up a little bit versus mixed in with the potatoes. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the flavor of the entire dish was wonderful. Also ordered at my table were various sushi rolls which were all presented beautifully and had flavor to match. The ramen bowl boasted a bold broth with perfectly cooked noodles. The dessert was not quite what I pictured in my mind, I ordered the chocolate raspberry cheesecake and I was thinking it was going to be a vanilla cheesecake with chocolate and raspberry swirls but it is actually a chocolate cheesecake. Personally it was a little dense for me but still very tasty! The drinks were tasty and well thought-out and the bartenders are very good at their job! Overall was a wonderful dining experience. Would definitely recommend!

"Square Bistro" is a go-to place for us. When we don't have a special place we need to be. And we…read moreneed an easy, relaxed evening. The establishment that usually comes to mind is "Square Bistro". It sits on the scenic square in downtown Chardon. The beautiful small town atmosphere is very calming. Great for a pre or post dinner stroll. You don't have to be concerned in any way about safety before or after dark. It's just a great place to be. Making reservations is easy... but definitely necessary. Lots of people love this establishment. It is always full. They have a very nice conventional menu as well as an excellent Sushi bar. And currently they are having their "Fall Clam Bake" with loads of options. We entered and met Megan, our server for the evening. She had a smile that never quit. Her bubbly personality made for a very fun evening. She was very attentive but never intrusive. After ordering our beverages and appetizers she gave us plenty of time to get comfortable and investigate the menu options. A basket of the most wonderful warm bread was delivered to the table and when it was gone another appeared in it's place. All 4 of us ordered the "Tomato Salad" - Organic Heirloom Tomatoes | Fresh Mozzarella | Basil Olive Oil | Aged Balsamic Reduction | Fried Garlic & Shallot Chips. It is one of my favorite items from their menu. Everything is so fresh and the house made dressing is wonderful. I always look forward to it. For our entrees my brother and I ordered the "Veal Milanese Piccata" - Panko Herb & Asiago Breaded Veal Cutlet | Lemon Caper Cream Sauce | mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. Our spouses ordered "Crab Crusted Grouper" - Pan Roasted Gulf Red Grouper | Cajun Crab Crust | Lobster Saffron Cream Sauce | Chef's Grain & Vegetable. I always enjoy the food at "Square Bistro" so I must say, during this visit the Veal was not quite up to their standards. It had good flavor, however the breading was too thick and a bit dry. Also it needed some additional sauce. I only make that note because it was not the norm for them. I'm sure it was a one-time misstep. Everything else we ordered was excellent as usual. After dinner was followed up with an excellent cup of coffee and fabulous desserts. We had "Pumpkin Spice Creme Brule", "Ice Cream Bomba", and "Candy Apple Tart". Each and every one was exceptional! So, as usual, "Square Bistro" on Chardon Square was a wonderful night out. It was a great evening as always. This establishment belongs on your "must see list".

The service is also amazing. They're always so warm and kind. We have been there a few times and have had nothing but delicious meals. One time they had a bruschetta sampler that was fantastic. I wish they'd have it again. I've had the gnocchi Gorgonzola and it was good but not as flavorful as I would have liked. I much prefer the tortellini. Love the red sauce and the pasta is soft and delicious. My cousins also like the chicken Parmesan. Anything is delicious. Next time, I'm going to try something else. It's so great to have such an authentic restaurant in the area.

My wife and I came to this spot over a decade ago, and just recently introduced it to a group of friends while we were up in the area on a winery weekend excursion. A super small and intimate space, it is really fun to watch Alessandro perfect his craft in such a small kitchen...honestly it is amazing! Service was very pleasant and attentive, although meal prep time is longer than normal due to the unique nature of this restaurant...but trust me, it is worth the wait! We each started with a small house salad while we sipped our wine and munched on fresh bread. Then came the calamari, served in a small bowl of herbed rich tomato-based broth with chunks of crusty bread for sopping up the delicious sauce. For my main dish, I chose one of the nightly specials which was veal osso buco. It was so meaty, so rich and full of flavor that it was hard to put my fork down! Everyone around the table raved about their meal choice, and we all left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Definitely don't sleep on this place and don't let looks deceive you from the outside...because inside is the real deal!
