I can confidently say this is one of the best "Biscuit & Gravy" dishes I've ever had!! I loved how…read morethe restaurant creates a tower with cheesy scrambled eggs (enough where you can see the cheese pull with every scoop) as the foundation, followed by a fluffy biscuit to top it off. The dish is drenched with their delicious and creamy gravy, which complimented very well with the spinach, mushroom, and turkey sausage chunks (extra). This is a huge portion and can easily be shared by two people! As for my sweet craving, I ordered a side of their Kid's Spelt Pancake (essentially a smaller version of the entree size), and the pancakes were made perfectly! The pancakes were fluffy, layered with small apple chunks for a nice, crispy crunch, and topped with a homemade whipped cream -- I could literally eat their whipped cream for days! It was super creamy with a light sweet aftertaste. If you're looking for a dangerous savory sweet combination, look no further!! The service was quick and the staff were incredibly kind. Too bad I was only visiting or else this would be a staple in my brunch routine.

This past Sunday a group of us went to breakfast and EVERY ONE loved their meals!…read more Their food is high quality with ingredients and flavors and I could tell our table knew this. Beautiful mural on the wall near our table and there was a fresh flower arrangement on our table which we all appreciated. The space itself had a diner feel where there is a small number of tables and servers are flipping tables because of limited hours and a constant wait. We were told the wait was 30-40 minutes and I believe we sat after 30 minutes. Time flew by as it was a beautiful Sunday morning and we were all chatting outside.

STARS OF THE SHOW: 1. Burger Box -- The patties were…read moreperfectly cooked, the bun was fluffy and soft, and if you love tomatoes, I would absolutely recommend adding their fresh tomatoes to your burger! There was just the right ratio of their homemade sauce, which complemented the smokey cheddar very well. 2. Over Dressed Greens -- I truly did not expect this to be one of my favorites of the night! The salad is generously mixed with their homemade white French sauce, and you could really taste the freshness of the vegetables and produce. They pickle their zucchinis, which was such a pleasant surprise because it added a crunchy texture alongside the croutons and the pickled flavor truly elevated the entire salad! 3. Jammy Eggs -- Egg yolks were cooked to perfect consistency and I loved their take on an Asian-fusion style dish with their furikake seasoning, which also gave slight crunchy texture alongside their creamy sauce that gave a hint of spiciness. 4. Szalay's Sweet Corn -- The mix of the cacio e pepe and miso aioli worked really well as the sauce for the sweet corn and gave it a creamy and savory flavor with every bite! All the cocktails we tried were very special and delicious! Their ingredients list includes unique combinations that pleasantly work for the drink. My favorite drink was "Never Too Much" and I don't even like Hennessy like that haha -- it was such a refreshing drink and the peach and lemon flavors truly was perfect for the fall season. As for service, our waitress Tate was incredibly friendly and efficient and gave us complimentary dessert due to a slight water spill during the meal. I can now fully understand the hype of this restaurant and when I come visit again, I will absolutely be back -- no questions asked!

My wife and I recently went to Cordelia for a special occasion and had a great experience. We had…read moreexcellent service from when we were seated on-time for our reservation to when we got the check. Everything came out in a timely and well-paced manner and our server went above and beyond in providing outstanding midwestern niceness and hospitality, explaining dishes to us, engaging in conversation, answering our questions, and working with the kitchen to make some minor accommodations to the dishes. The prices were also reasonable for the portion sizes. The ambiance is an interesting, funky mix of open piping with an open kitchen concept and artwork with a nod to Cleveland. My wife and I split several dishes and were fine to outstanding; however, I am giving Cordelia four stars because several dishes were way too salty, affecting what otherwise would have been amazing dishes. My wife and I shared the following dishes: Party snacks: One of the two star dishes of the night. The bread was crispy and served as a great vehicle for the dips. The carrot muhammara, farmer's cheese, and jammy eggs were particularly good and the three snacks I would get if I were only ordering three snacks. Blooming Eggplant: The other star dish of the night, besides being unique with Michelin-caliber presentation, the fry was perfect, the sauce was good, the coating was crispy, and the eggplant well-cooked. The lemon brought everything together and provided some welcome acid. A little on the salty side but very good. Cavatelli: The cavatelli were perfectly al dente; unfortunately, the sauce was overwhelming salty and took away from the pasta. Tomatoes a la chaoshou: The tomatoes were in-season and extremely fresh. The sauce was good, if slightly salty. Ohio Green Beans: The green beans were perfectly cooked with some firmness, nicely seared, and presented well. The zhug was quite salty and detracted from the green beans, although the crunch of the pistachio was excellent. Kate's Fish: The lake walleye was fresh and the accompanying sauces were good and provided nice flavor to give body to the fish (although a bit salty). The skin needed to be crispier; overall, an OK dish but nothing distinctive. My wife and I got the dirt 'n worms and the corn ice cream with caramel sauce for dessert. The caramel sauce was good; the corn ice cream was bland and the mousse was average. I would recommend Cordelia for your next special occasion.

Within walking distance from the Hilton Downtown Cleveland, this is a small diner tucked away…read moreinside of an old building. There were a bunch of regulars sitting at the counter and chatting it up with the servers. We grabbed a table and were greeted right away. The server checked on us often but didn't smother us. We also witnessed a lot of folks coming in to grab to-go orders. The menu is very simple and straightforward. They serve breakfast all day and lunch service begins at 11am. We both had breakfast. Between us, we had scrambled eggs with cheese, eggs fried over-medium, bacon, French toast, pancakes and potatoes. Everything was decent. I wished that the cheese had been cooked into the scrambled eggs and allowed to melt, but that was okay. Also, the texture of the breakfast potatoes were like mashed potatoes that had been smashed and burned on the flattop grill. We weren't a fan of those. Overall, the place was cute and quaint and the staff was friendly. Everything was priced very reasonably as well. Also, anywhere you can find the locals at is usually a good sign!

Eggs were cooked perfectly; pork loin had a great flavor but was served room temp. Pricing is very fair.

They have preserved elements of the historic Halle Brothers Co. department store, which gives the space a wonderful sense of character. That old Cleveland charm feels especially fitting in the Theater District. The food is excellent. If you are looking for a diner-style breakfast or brunch without the heavy, overly greasy feel, this is the place. The brunch cocktails are also very good. Our server was phenomenal, and joked along with us the entire meal. There is usually a wait, so come prepared--but it is absolutely worth it.

The bartender/server was friendly and they knew the area well and gave me some recommendations on things to do while I was in town, which was a nice personal touch. The bar had a calm, quiet vibe that made it a good place to unwind in the evening without the usual crowds or noise. Between the good service, tasty food, and relaxing atmosphere, I'd recommend stopping by whether you're staying at the hotel or just looking for a great meal and a peaceful place to relax.

Stayed at the hotel attached and got complimentary breakfast…read more Very clean and quite in the morning. Almost feels more of a bar then a eatery. Got their healthy omelette with fruits and oj. Looks like a 1.2-2 egg omelette, prob just a big batch of eggs and they laddled it in. Kind of reminds me of airport/airplane food. There is what I assume is a slice of cheese on top but it's clear, so no idea what kind of cheese it is or if it is cheese. Can't complain too much since it came as part of my stay.

They were served piping hot and were delicious! We also ordered their traditional burgers with cheddar. These were fresh hand packed made in house and not frozen or commercial! The bun tasted like it was from a local bakery and it complimented nicely. Fries are also made from fresh potatoes in house. All the food was delicious and served fast! If you want a place where you can have good food, relax, hear conversations at your table, watch sports (or not), served quickly by friendly people and thanked warmly for coming in by the owner- then this is the perfect place!

Nothing better than a relaxed Friday night with good friends and a delicious meal!…read more Arrived at 7:30 pm for our reservation and were quickly led to our table. For a split second, we thought about eating outside but opted for inside. The charming inside room was bustling with energy and happy guests. We were then greeted by the delightful Gabriella who was our culinary guide for the night. She's terrific. She suggested 6-10 small plates for the four of us and we picked 8. The perfect amount for our tastes and appetite. The dishes were out of this world. Warm Popovers to die for, garlic shrimp, beet extravaganza, pork bellies, pecan infused meatballs, green beans, chicken, and one more. Brought in a perfectly paced sequence which allowed a leisurely meal and conversation. We paired dinner with sparkling water and a glass of pinot noir. After two hours, we left with smiles on our faces and gastrointestinal delight in our souls. Although we skipped dessert and coffee service, when four mini chocolate chip cookies showed up as a nightcap, they were quickly and gratefully consumed! Terrific on all accounts. Highly recommend.

While still served with tart cherries, the crispy breading was perfect. Kale salad was seasonal and all the components melded well, from the tart fruit to the light vinaigrette The highlight was the black cod, which was buttery soft and only further enhanced by the smooth beurre Blanc. Decadent but still balanced!! Looking forward to their next menu change :)
