Just a heads-up--they don't serve food, so plan accordingly. I sipped on a crisp sparkling wine, and the elegant stemware with a twist of lemon was a classy touch. If you're looking for a stylish, intimate spot to enjoy well-crafted drinks, this is it!

Fun vibes on a weekend band night!…read more After driving by numerous times we decided to meet some friends on a night when they had a band. We arrived a half hour before the band started and was able to get a table in the patio area. They had heaters setup to help warm it up. Our group tried some of the beer options. I had the seltzer and it was tasty. The menu is mostly paninis, pizza and hot dogs. Since it was busy some of the food took awhile to come out. It is smaller than it looks on the outside so if you want a good spot for a band night you would need to get there early.

My wife, her daughter, and our family decided to try Beaver House in Lorain for Father's Day…read more Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We arrived as a party of six and were told there would be a 40-minute wait, which was understandable given the holiday. However, we were asked to wait outside. At the time, the Canadian soldier flies were extremely active, making it very uncomfortable, especially for the grandchildren. Because of that, my wife's daughter and her family decided to leave, leaving just my wife and me. As soon as our party was reduced to two people, we were seated immediately. While waiting, I noticed a table that had just become available after a party of six left. It appeared large enough to accommodate our original group, which made the situation even more frustrating. After being seated, we ordered drinks. When our server returned, she informed us that shrimp scampi was not available until 2:00 p.m. and that they were already out of perch. Both were items I would have considered ordering. The way this information was presented came across as dismissive rather than helpful. I commented that there seemed to be a lot of restrictions on what could be ordered. The server responded sarcastically, saying, "Yep, and you can leave, but you'll have to wait five minutes." At that point, I felt completely unwelcome as a customer. After reviewing the menu and considering both the limited options and the server's attitude, I decided not to stay. I also noticed that the table that had seated six people remained empty for at least 15 minutes after we arrived. When I told the server that I was unhappy with how I was being treated and would likely leave a review, she laughed and replied, "Make sure you tell them my name is Lexi." As we left, she continued to laugh. Adding to the confusion, after we left, the restaurant called the phone number we had provided for our original party of six, indicating that our table was ready. This only reinforced my belief that our entire group could likely have been accommodated much sooner. This was my first visit to Beaver House, and it will also be my last. What should have been a Father's Day celebration turned into a disappointing experience due to poor customer service, lack of communication, and an overall feeling that our business was not valued.

I really love Brittney & Rachael they are great bar tenders. Tony is good too. They hired a new bouncer that is huge but it makes me feel safe seeing them in there. The food is good especially the wings. There are a couple waitresses that are really rude tho (older ladies) they've been there for a long time I guess and for the life of me I can't figure out how they even work in customer service but they usually work during the day so I've just stopped going in there to eat while they're working and just go in when the shifts change. I go there to wind down some times when I don't have my kids, grab a bite to eat and a couple drinks and leave. It used to be rowdy but now it has gotten better with the new security I guess. a bit pricey but prices are going up everywhere. read more

Great neighborhood bar feel with really good food and friendly bartenders…read more I had a burger, 1/2 lb done perfectly with onion rings that were excellent. Last time the onion rings were a little oily, yesterday they were perfect. Our adult daughter just had fried pickles, she said they were great. Perfect batter to pickle ratio and they were spears not rounds which made them great for dipping. Wife had a lake erie perch sandwich, she said it was amazingly good. Busy place, but the kitchen was kerping up about 7:30 on a Friday night. I highly recommend Rudy's especially if your in from out of town.

Drinks and food were delivered in good time…read more BUT...minus one star because this is one of a growing number of restaurants that have begun adding 3.00% to the bill for using a credit card...and it's insulting! Credit and Tap to Pay are the standard these days - who carries cash? Servers expect tips off of the total including tax instead of the subtotal (which I struggle with a bit but always use that total @ 20%). Now it's subtotal + tax + CC surcharge. My first instinct is to tip 17% and tell the server her boss took part of her tip. Goodness gracious restaurant owners!!! Charge $12.59 for your $10.95 chicken salad wrap and stop adding one more level of complexity to the process. It's not a lot of money but a silly little add-on line item to the bill for using a standard method of payment is, in principle, ridiculous.

The biggest issue for me is the food. There are simply too many options on the menu, and unfortunately, the quality doesn't seem to be there. It feels like a case of being a "jack of all trades, master of none." I honestly think this place could benefit from cutting the menu down significantly and focusing on doing a smaller number of dishes really well. I think that would make a huge difference and could actually bring in more customers. The service is another frustration, especially if you're sitting at the bar. The bartenders are also responsible for waiting tables, which means they're frequently away from the bar serving other customers. As a result, it can be surprisingly difficult to get service when you're sitting right at the bar. With the new ownership, I was hoping to see some changes, but so far it doesn't seem like much has changed. That's honestly disappointing because I want to enjoy coming here. Instead, it often feels more stressful than enjoyable. I'm not leaving this review because I want to see the place fail--I actually want it to succeed. I think there's a lot of potential here, but I really hope the ownership takes a hard look at the menu, food quality, and staffing/service model. Focusing on doing a few things exceptionally well could go a long way.

Super Easy solution: add a couple baseboard heaters & temps will stay constant! Food was another matter. About half was satisfied since about half had an issue. My Patty Melt was laughable. Smallest sandwich I've seen served at an actual restaurant. At 8.69 it was a rip-off.. DQ has a burger fry sundae & drink for $7 & is comparable. The bread is likely sliced in house b/c it is half thickness of a regular slice of bread. It was over grilled like a crouton too. But the real disappointment was the minuscule amount of grilled onions hiding underneath the 1/8th pound burger patties. I also asked for mayo on it & didn't get any!! Shoulda got regular Oh boy which is cheaper, has twice the bread, ton of lettuce compared to my onion, and comes w/ sauce vs. my no mayo. Other complaints: cheeseballs were not as good since they confirmed they switched suppliers. They're actually curds now. Onion rings were overfried & really dark which was fine but they were actually not warm so they musta sat in window too long. A few liked their super OhBoys but at $13, it's an average value. Chicken wrap was a value but needed more sauce / kinda dry. Service: We asked if garden burger had chunks of veggies or a Griller type & she said no veggies but it was indeed that type. A couple other mess ups w/ missed toppings & sides & pop missing syrup rounded out the visit.

The updated décor gives the restaurant a great vibe and atmosphere, and the low lighting is exceptional--it creates a relaxed, welcoming setting that makes dinner feel like an experience rather than just a meal. The food is outstanding and very well balanced. You can tell there's real attention to quality and flavor. The price point is also spot on for what you get--great quality food and generous portions that make it feel well worth it. While the original owners were great, the new ownership is by far a better fit for the space and what the restaurant has become. Felix and Ellie have really elevated the place. Dinner service runs from 4 PM to 10 PM, with the kitchen usually closing around 11 PM. One thing I appreciate is that if the place is busy, the owners are known to stay open a little longer so guests can enjoy themselves. The dining room is on the smaller side, so you can't pack in a huge crowd--but honestly that's part of the charm. The close-knit atmosphere makes it feel personal and lively... or as Felix would say, it's "way more gooder." My advice: make reservations if you can. You can try just stopping in, but be warned--on Friday and Saturday nights this place is usually packed. If you're in Lorain and looking for a great dinner spot with an awesome vibe, Diso 2.0 Grille is definitely worth checking
