I came here for a work event and had the best experience! We were seated in one of their private dining rooms and got a simplified menu because there were a lot of us. We first got the simple green salad and it was a great start! Not overly dressed and the flavor was good! At this time we were also served our bread to pair with the butter and olive tapenade.... & YUM! Even days after the event were were talking about how delicious the olive tapenade was at work! (I wish I could've taken some home!) My friends that got the seared salmon said it was some of the best food they've had!! It was perfectly flavored, not over cooked, and the sauces paired well with everything on the plate! I got the beef short ribs and WOW was it to die for! I had a hard time picking between the dishes offered, but I'm very happy with my choice! The asparagus was cooked perfect! The mashed potatoes had the perfect amount of buttery taste in each bite you couldn't get enough of them, especially with the braised beef juices mixed in! And the beef itself was AMAZING! It was cooked perfectly and tasted heavenly.... With every bite I kept wishing I would look back down to a fuller plate than before the bite! I loved it so much! The staff treated us amazing and never left a glass empty for more than a minute (wine or water!) This was seriously one of the best meals I've had and I can't wait to plan a trip to come back to this amazing place! read more

The food was amazing, architecture and ambiance spectacular, but the best part of the experience was our server Jackie. She was fun, helpful, friendly, and made our time feel welcoming and like we were family. read more

Have not been here for a very long time. Joined friends for a dinner to catch up. Has reservations and were told we would be seated at our time. Was a bit later. Service was ok with sandy. Prices were very reasonable, portions are generous, management stopped at the table. The reason for three stars? At 2110 they brought out the vacuum cleaner. Yes. I suspect they close at 2100 and that it was a Friday night? Very unusual but hey, they had a crowd in spite of the pick up your feet so we can vacuum around you. They are clearly catering to an older, early crowd. read more

Outstanding lunch and wonderful service from server Dacia . Chef Lydia is a master of her craft and prepared a wonderful repast of appetizers and entrees. The Calamari is the best I have ever enjoyed, and the meatballs and Chicken Parmesan and mouthwatering and to die for! Great service at a fantastic price! We will definitely be back! read more

Lockkeepers never disappoints! Everything from drinks to desserts is amazing. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants! The ambience and atmosphere is so beautiful. The interior is very upscale but at the same time relaxing and not pretentious or snobbish. Beautiful craftsmanship like wood work and the lighting is really beautiful. The service has always been excellent. We had a party of 3 and I loved my meal. My dining partner felt the same . I had the seafood risotto which was delicious and creamy. The tiramisu is delicious and unique In presentation. It was one of the best desserts I have had. read more

Kade was amazing! He knew the menu to a T. He can explain any item and make you imagine yourself having it. (: his service is 10/10. And the patio was perfect for the nice day. read more

5 of us went for a birthday on 10/28/2025. We had swordfish, shortribs, bone-in veal parm and double bone pork chop We have been here many times, as well as other establishment they have. Sorry to say, the shortribs were short on food. the veal parm was not as it used to be, it was not crispy and lots of breading, and the pork chop was tasty but overdone for a resturaunt of this caliber. The waiter raved about the chop, so I tried it. Service was great, and attentive Just not up to what I have experienced there in the past read more

The Lock keeper is a very classy establishment with classic warm decor. The server was top notch and knew the menu very well. The food is Italian and it will rival little Italy here in Cleveland. I tried the chicken parm and the this cut was so tender you could cut it with your fork. You won't be disappointed. read more

A wonderful birthday dinner with my family! The food at Lockkeepers is always top-notch. It's an Italian restaurant, but very high-end. The eight of us had a lovely meal celebrating mine and my sister-in-law's birthdays. The dining room was full but it was still a rather intimate meal. The beef carpaccio was a hit at the table (the mushrooms nearly upstaged the beef itself) and I really enjoyed my tomato and artichoke soup. For our entrees, the special tonight was a halibut with spring vegetables which three people in our party enjoyed. Pictured you will see the chicken Parmesan (enough for two meals for sure) as well as the beef short ribs. The wine and cocktail list at Lockkeepers is more than sufficientand the service was outstanding - Austin did a wonderful job and was so helpful. Thank you! read more

Everything about this place is ideal for a special occasion. Excellent food, service and ambiance.

Love love, love love love that place great place to have dinner I missed the person who used to manager. Also, he used to be a waiter his name is Herman rest in peace read more

LockKeepers is consistently awesome! The ambiance, service and food are always excellent. Their Happy Hour is one of my favorites. They also have a pretty deck/patio that is perfect for sipping Spritz in the summer. Their menu is creative and offers a good variety of options for all tastes. I absolutely love their pasta dishes but their salads and meat dishes are fantastic too. If the watermelon and tomato salad is on the menu - get it! It's expensive AF but it's huge (perfect for sharing, but you'll want to eat it all!) and absolutely perfect. Be sure to try their craft cocktails - their bartenders kill it! read more

Recently I was part of a birthday celebration. Our server Ashton was attentive and efficient. The restaurant has a comfortable ambiance and we went early and it wasn't crowded. The parking is a challenge so come early or use valet. The food is okay and the portions are small except the chicken parmigiana was large and delicious. Some items like the chopped salad needs a hard reset. The group gave a thumbs up on the olive oil cake. We will return soon and explore more options. read more

High ceilings, surrounded by rich wood walls, with a casual luxury feel describes this fine restaurant's ambiance! The dinner menu has variety in meat, pasta, and vegetable fares. The pricing is mid level and includes full courses; not "ala-carte". The night we went they were very busy and service was slower than usual. Our waiter, Chris, was attentive and very knowledgable on entries and wines! There was a misstep in the kitchen on my duck entry but the manager apologized and countered with an invoice adjustment and some free fabulous desserts. This was a special occasion as my wife and daughter were celebrating their birthdays! Everyone was very happy with their dishes, scallops, seafood risotto so the evening was a success! We will return and ask for Chris again! read more

Lockkeepers hasn't been around this long without knowing what it's doing. It is perfection in service and quality. I was there Easter Sunday with my family. I arrived a little earlier than the reservation and sat at the bar for a short while and the bartenders were the ultimate in professionalism. When we were seated, Caryn was our server. Caryn could move to NYC right now and work in the best 5 star restaurant and make a fortune. She didn't ignore us but she also didn't rush us. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy the ambiance as well as the delicious choices. We all felt extremely pampered. Thank you to the entire staff for making our meal and experience fabulous-everyone there was very professional. Also, the food was delicious as always--I highly recommend the seafood risotto. Lockkeepers has a great staff and I hope management appreciates every one of them! read more

The shrimp and lobster risotto was delicious however it lacked lobster pieces just had lobster bisque which was kind of a let down. Regardless it was still yummy and the restaurant is beautiful with great service! read more

Overall an excellent experience food location and service was 5 star. Had the pork chop which was flavorful and cooked to perfection.

Our 1st visit to Lockkeepers and won't be our last. Many items on the menu we would like to go back and try. Food & ambiance were both amazing. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars was the service. Our waitress was fabulous, but additional staff and sometimes our server were overzealous in removing plates and asking if we were done & interrupting our celebration & conversation. It made us feel very rushed the entire meal. This will not stop us from returning or trying one of the other restaurants in the group. We were treated very well & our son was given complentary homemade pizelles with a candle, homemade whip cream & chocolate ganache to celebrate his birthday. Our appetizers we split & dinners were amazing, full of flavor & depth, served timely & hot and cooked perfectly. I have added pictures of the dishes & description. If you are out near the Cuyahoga parks & want a more upscale dinner at affordable prices, then i would recommend you give them a try. read more

3 of us had dinner here recently and the meals were horrible. Two orders of clams and linguini and one lasagna. Lasagna cheese was burned on top and pasta cold underneath. Linguini meals were small and tasteless. Service was good the place is noisy. read more

Lock keepers is a cleveland staple. Know for high end/quality food. Sad to say it but for the price you pay it should be better. My husband loves this restaurant but on our last visit it wasn't the quality/flavors we were anticipating. read more

Was here for a dinner party event up stairs. I found the weight staff to be very kind and helpful but the food was cold and over salted. It was way better presented and just disappeared in taste. We had the steak and mushroom risotto. For dessert we had the tiramisu and chocolate, lava cake. Both desserts were huge and presented nicely. They lacked freshness and came out frozen. We were also not offered coffee or tea with dessert which would have been nice. Maybe the main dining room has better actual food. Parking was also horrible and confusing. There were no spots when we showed up at 5:15 and was still maxed to the brim with people circling when we left at 7pm. read more

Amazing food and service. We could not have been happier. In a city of so many places to eat , LockKeepers does not disappoint!

EVERYTHING coming out of the kitchen looks outstanding. Wow! They have huge portions! I suggest splitting an entire. The service was super friendly and very professional. The beautiful wood bar anchors the whole place, it has any liquor or craft drink or wine you could possibly want. Every room in this place is beautiful. This is a hidden gem. Vegetarian and gluten free friendly. I highly recommend Lockkeepers. read more

One of, if not the best filet mignon I've ever had and all of the food was spectacular. The lodge style ambiance was perfect for our date and our waiter was very kind and professional, even going above and beyond to pick an amazing Italian red wine based on our description of what we like. It was an added bonus that they served us an Anniversary champagne and complimentary Pizzelles. We'll be back for more! read more

Yes please! This place was amazing! The decor was nice but not too stuffy. Our waiter was so knowledgeable and very pleasant. They were a little slow to bring our food but I was in good company and we didn't mind at all. The food was out of this world! I had the truffle gnocchi and it was some of the best I e ever had. My friend had one of the specials, short rib and risotto. It was fabulous! Prices were not outrageous and fair for the excellent dining experience. I definitely recommend! read more

Great service, Patrick was our waiter and he was worth the price of admission. Food was 5 star. read more

Awesome food and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this for any special occasion.

Had a gift card and tried this place for the first time (we only live minutes away so it was a surprise that we'd never been before). Overall impressive! A little pricey, so the gift card came in handy. Everything we had was very good. Their house marinara is tasty and complimented the Italian dishes well, and a pork chop special wrapped in prosciutto was excellent, as was the Lockkeepers salad. Above all else was the super attentive service and staff here. We were never lacking for anything, and a shoutout to our kind and efficient server Kade. Complimentary champagne for our anniversary was a lovely touch. (See, Edwins? It's not hard to do!) Looking forward to returning hopefully sooner than later. read more

We had not been to lock keepers in years weren't staying away for any reason but wanting to try other places. We just went back and we were blown away. Our meals were fantastic and service amazing. I had the lobster ravioli which were very filling with a great lemon citrus sauce that was very light and delicious. Lisa had the pork torca which was king of like a delectable pulled pork rolled up, breaded in Pablo bread crumbs and served on a bed of pasta fagoule. Like the ravioli it was amazing. This was one of the best tasting, and best value meals we've had in a long time. We will not wait so long before coming back! read more

I've been going to Lockkeepers Inn for many years and I've never been disappointed. The food, the service the ambience is all excellent.

Attended a large dinner event tonight and was blown away with how tender (a.k.a. No knife needed) and tasty the short ribs were. The servers were so quiet, that at one point I was paying attention to the speaker... turned back around and they had taken away my empty plate without my noticing- quite stealthy. And even though the the large group room is upstairs, there is an elevator should anyone in you group not be able to do stairs. read more
