I thought the building was very cool - it's an old church, with stained glass windows intact. The menu is traditional Brazilian, you order an entree with sides. My colleague said the dishes served were very traditional, so this was my first experience with Brazilian food. Sooooo good! I clean played everything. Very flavorful. I ordered the freijoada, which was rice, collard greens cooked in olive oil and garlic, and a black bean stew that has several types of sausage, beef, and ham cooked in with it, and some cassava flour as well. For dessert, I tried their churros filled with Dulce de leche, and served with ice cream. The service was excellent, our server had food out quickly and checked in with us multiple times. This place is a hidden gem - quiet neighborhood and the food quality punches well above its weight. 10/10 would eat here again.

The food was outstanding across the board, and the service was attentive, professional, and on point throughout the evening. The only minor hiccup involved our seating. We had reserved a table on the patio, which is usually the perfect place to dine. Unfortunately, the weather turned out to be a bit cooler than expected. By the time we were finishing our main courses, it had become too cold to fully enjoy the outdoor setting. We had inquired earlier about moving inside, but the restaurant was unable to accommodate us at that time due to capacity. Thankfully, they were able to find us a table indoors for dessert, which we greatly appreciated. That turned out to be the perfect ending to the evening, as the desserts were every bit as impressive as the rest of the meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience with outstanding food and service. The weather was the only thing that kept it from being absolutely perfect, and the staff did their best to make things right. We would happily return.

He looked up with a broad grin and, in a warm Trinidadian accent, waved us toward an open spot beside the building. His welcome was so easy and sincere it felt less like arriving at a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's home. My girlfriend, her friend, and I were on our way to the Larkin Poe show at nearby Cain Park and decided to stop in first. Inside, we stepped into a tiny, cozy dining room--more postage stamp than restaurant--washed in bright Caribbean colors that seemed to glow under the lights. The walls, the warmth, the close quarters all gave the place an easy, island feel, as if Ohio had briefly slipped away. The music sealed it. Rhythms from Kes, Tano, and Full Blown rolled through the room, lively and unmistakable, bouncing off the walls and threading through the chatter. Every detail--the beat, the spice in the air, the easy laughter, the genuine hospitality--worked together so naturally that we couldn't help smiling. Before the first plate even arrived, it already felt like we'd been whisked off to Trinidad and Tobago. I ordered a side of jerk wings, my GF ordered fish tacos, amd her friend a burrito. I haven't had jerk this deliciously hot since my days at Brooklyn College and stopping on Flatbush for Jamaican food--but this was the first time a meal in Cleveland made me feel like I'd been dropped straight into Trinidad and Tobago. I will definitely be back for more. Save your appetite--this is the kind of meal that is truly memorable.

It has been on my want to try list for a while and, thanks to Too Good To Go, I snagged a mystery box of leftovers for $7.50 (retail states it is worth $21). It was hard to find a parking spot but once I did, I went inside to pick up my order. I was the only one inside but soon enough, the owner came out to greet me and pack up my surprise order. I just asked for no fish and he then asked if goat was fine. I was hoping for chicken in my box, but I didn't want to be too needy haha! I paid for a personal pie as well and head out, looking at my box once I got to my car. I was happy to see a generous portion of rice and beans but was a bit bummed that one of the two sides I should have gotten was missing. See picture. Upon getting home, I ate my "mysterious meal" and while I enjoyed the curry goat, rice and beans, and curried chana, I would have definitely chosen different things for myself, like the mac and cheese and the bone in chicken! Ah well. I guess I'll have to go back! I did enjoy the goat more than I thought I would have! Sadly, the pie crust of the sweet potato pie I got ($3.50) had that freezer taste. The filling itself was good but I was disappointed by the too long in the fridge taste of the crust. It was also a little too expensive for its size. Would not recommend. I'll pick up a mystery box again in the future for sure, but I doubt I'll get a dessert again.

The seasonal pizza was basically a taco pizza with beans, ground beef, tomato, lettuce and a chipotle sauce. It was delicious. Reminded me of when I used to get the Mexican pizza at CPK growing up. I got the 17" to share with others and the slices were huge, probably could have gotten a medium. The seasons salad was a strawberry macadamia nut salad with blue cheese crumbles and like a raspberry vinaigrette. It was perfect, fresh and delicious.

Sunset Kitchen seems like the right choice, especially with its stunning, Pinterest-worthy decor. This was my third visit, hoping for a better experience after two underwhelming ones. Unfortunately, it confirmed what I had hoped wasn't true: the vibe just doesn't match the execution. While the decor is undeniably photo-ready and the bartenders (especially Brittany) bring great energy and solid drinks--the rest of the experience needs serious attention. Over the last 3 visits, my reservation was lost, hosts barely acknowledged guests, and there was no visible management to help resolve anything. We encountered long waits, inconsistent food temperatures, poor plating, and sticky, outdated menus that didn't reflect what was actually available. If you do decide to give it a try, I recommend Brittany's watermelon or peach lemon drop and the crab cakes. Both were solid. But based on all three visits, here's the pattern: something will arrive cold, something will be missing, and you'll likely be waiting longer than expected. Hosts seem untrained or overwhelmed, food service is staggered, and management is either absent or ineffective. The bartenders make you want to come back--but the inconsistency makes it hard to justify doing so again. Sunset Kitchen has all the visual potential, but the service and experience need to catch up to the aesthetics.

Ima sucker for good old fashioned customer service. The service alone would make me come back but baby the food. Let me give y'all my experience. Let me start. I saw a post on Facebook and thought to myself I would love to try this place. So one Saturday evening after attending Fevers Candlelight Tribute to Coldplay we decide to give it a try. When we arrived we wanted to know where to park, so we called the restaurant and one of the owners said he would come and valet our car for us! Total shock. We get inside and the vibe and the ambiance was amazing! There was a couple inside enjoying their date. The candles were lit and smelled fantastic by the way. It just gave my husband and I an overall relaxed feeling. The decor was beautiful and it reminded me of some of the great jazz spots in Washington DC. Alice's to be particular. The fireplace was lit and the design choices were carefully crafted. The husband (owner) did a great job of orating the history of the location and the contributions his parents made to both the US military and the local Dentistry community here in northeast Ohio. While the wife (Owner/Chef) did a terrific job of informing us of how the food would be prepared and what flavours and notes were present in each dish and how they would compliment each other. We just live a good cocktail and a story. Speaking of cocktails we tried the "Doli Stoli" a delicious cocktail made with Vodka and infused pineapple. Delectable. I did not eat the appetiser (allergy) which was the Chicken & Shrimp Gumbo consisting of a Rich roux trinity cajun spices and rice. I have to assume it was delicious since I didn't even get to take a picture because the husband was devouring it. I enjoyed the Zuppa Toscana; a tasty soup comprising of Rustic potatoes in savory parmesan broth with house turkey sausage & spinach. I wanted to ditch my manners and lick the bowl but I didn't. The husband enjoyed the Fish & Chips which was a delicious platter of Beer battered Cod filets, crispy fries & creamy slaw w/ house tartar sauce. I don't even know where to begin. Everything was so delicious and fresh. A true burst of flavour exploding in your mouth. I will say this the overall experience was other worldly, but you know the God was good when you get home with leftovers and eat everything without warming it up. Insane. This place is what this community needed. We have the gift of folk who are rooted in community, experts in their field, and actually love what they do and guess what; it shows in their food!

Old 70's & 80's soul music and soft ballads- Stevie Wonder was on while we were there-played continuously and softly. The food was filling without feeling heavy. What a great place to relax, spend time talking, eating, drinking, and listening to good music. It was an experience.
