What was irritating was the order by QR code method. I go to a restaurant to be waited on, to finally relax and enjoy the service. Running through pictures and prices on my phone screen, then punching in your CC is not my idea of a relaxing experience. Dump this and pay your servers and maybe we'll come back!

Okay, the Crispy Pork Shank was sooooo SOOOO good. It's been a couple weeks since I went here, and…read moreI'm still thinking about it. The Patatas Bravas (not pictured) were also very good-- nice and crispy, and a little spicy! I'd come back here just for those two things. The Beet Salad was okay, it was just waaayyy over seasoned -- way too salty. At least that can easily be corrected. The vibe of the place is cool and trendy. And the staff was all very nice, and offered a lot of help. We sat outside, so we had to order from a QR code, which was different, but fine! I'm not sure if the ordering process is different if you sit inside.

Wow, wow, wow. Stopped in for breakfast. Such a cute little restaurant. Come early, it filled up…read moreright after we arrived around 8:30 on a Sunday. We got the tostada and the biscuits and gravy. The tostada was a work of art! And bursting with flavor. The biscuits and gravy. Where to start? The biscuit was super flaky, moist, cut in half and filled with scrambled eggs that seemed to be layered. The whole thing was covered with a gravy, chock full of sausage and, perfectly cooked mushrooms. I got a sweet potato cinnamon bun to go. Can't wait to try that later today!

Both were delicious! The biscuit was perfectly buttery, and it was covered in a rich, flavorful mushroom gravy and came with scrambled eggs. It was filling but somehow not too heavy. I licked my plate clean. The pancake was also wonderful. It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side. I could have easily had a whole stack of the pancakes. The staff was friendly, and though the place was busy, the service was efficient. Excited to come here again! Note - if you use a credit card, it does come with a 3% service fee.

It was busy without seeming crowded. The space was spacious, well decorated, unique and made good use of space. The bathrooms downstairs were artsy and in good taste! Menu was kind of limited but I have a feeling they try new things all the time so it was exciting to pick from. Too bad they ran out of some things when we went. I ordered the fried chicken dish which was fried to perfection, well seasoned and paired interestingly with pickled veggies. The portion was tiny but on par with something I would expect in a place like this. I also ordered 2 oysters for $9 which were the tiniest oysters I've ever seen. Sure, they were good but I would not get them again. My girlfriend ordered a canned non-alcoholic drink for $6 (way too expensive for a soda!) and the brussell sprouts. They were good but there was only 4 of them! Our server gave off a "I'm too cool for this gig" and dismissed my order when I asked for the chicken. He recommended the lamb which uh, was almost 3x as expensive as the chicken and not something I wanted as a light late dinner after a show... My friend's SIL worked here so she was warm, welcoming and gave us a great seat. So yeah, it's not the best restaurant in Cleveland or anything but there is something to the hype and if I do get the chance, the brunch looks amazing!

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!

The food is exactly what you want from a diner, comforting and done right. They have my favorite style of French toast, and everything was cooked perfectly, including our extra-crispy bacon (which so many places somehow get wrong). The service was attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. I'd easily go again!

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

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!

We stopped in for a celebratory dinner and were impressed by the ambiance and the variety of goodies on the menu. We started with a Kiln #3 and a Kiln #6 for drinks, followed by some popovers with homemade butter and berry preserves, and a bibb salad. But my favorite was the roasted candy striped beets (beets with passion fruit, blackberries, sumac, mint and almonds) along with the stuffed cabbage (kasha, eggplant, mushrooms, caraway, tomato-cashew sauce). An arctic char was the fish of the day, providing the protein and umami for the meal. And finally, a baked alaska for dessert (pistachio cake, cherry jam and vanilla ice cream). Wow, that was good.
