    Soup and salad with two roll  maki lunch
    Rose K.

    Stopped in for lunch after an appointment in the area. Had the two sushi roll maki lunch specials. Reasonable price. Peter our server was nice. He checked on us twice. The miso soup was good for a drizzly Friday afternoon. The salad was the typical ginger dressing and tasty. The sushi was very good. The restaurant has an outside door and a door into the strip mall area across from stone oven. It is a simply decorated place. Recommend for a quick tasty sushi lunch.

    Bento C, Chicken/vegetable Soba noodle lunch
    Carl W.

    I came here for lunch while the Cleve. Hts location is being renovated. I immediately noticed the menu is different and abridged. I asked the waitress about it and she claims it's a totally "different company", "different owner". Not sure if that is true or whether it was just a misunderstanding. Regardless, I had the Sashimi Bento box. Everything was excellent. It did not have my favorite though...smoked tuna. The Soba noodles I ordered for my daughter was OK, cooked fresh--you could tell--but had the predominant flavor of asian 5 spice which was kind of odd. I added some soysauce to it and my daughter loved it. Overall, a nice place although I miss the other menu items of Cleveland Hts Pacific East.

    Bomb roll & Hamachi to-go

    I'm from Los Angeles and pride myself on having a good taste for fresh fish. I was told to try this chain and have only visited the Chagrin location but was immediately hooked! Fish was fresh and rolls were YUM! The nigiri was sort of hit and miss, but I understand this is not a coastal city and that means they don't have the luxuries a city in CA might have. I ordered the Bomb roll several times and it never failed. The Empire roll is also amazing if you like spicy tuna (also somewhat inconsistent w freshness but overall really GOOD!) I don't know why the reviews are so low. On one occasion I went with a group of coworkers, the service was fairly slow, but it looked like there was only one server. We were very understanding and still very pleased with the experience. Times are tough right now and this is a business that deserves some appreciation.

    Although the restaurant is small, the food is fresh and delicious and the staff is wonderful! Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly, they even offered sushi recommendations. They have a variety of rolls that they make fresh and all of the ingredients were great, but could have had a more expansive menu. Definitely a great lunch spot, we will be back!

    We travel all over the country and eat sushi frequently (especially on the west coast) so I have become a bit of a sushi snob--sorry, not sorry! I have had amazing sushi in Cleveland frequently. We ordered 4 rolls and the basic Philadelphia was my favorite. The fantastic tempura roll would have been good without the tablespoon of "special" sauce on top. We chose eel as our fish. --the sauce was sweet and would be good if drizzled. Reminded me of a dollop of sour cream on a potato! The empire roll was OK, it also had too much sauce though and felt like something was missing from the filling for flavor combo. The bomb roll was not bomb. The cucumber was incredibly over powering, this would have been delicious in a traditional wrap. Oh and the calamari was completely over cooked ‍ The service was good, she was very nice. Unfortunately for a $75 dinner, we won't be back.

    Sashimi pieces have gotten soooooo much smaller.
    Lin H.

    This place is just SSSSOOOOO bad nowadays. Based off of the texture of the sashimi escalor, it has clearly been frozen and thawed and frozen again. Maybe then blanched also? So mushy, I immediately gagged it out. I keep saying to not go. Maybe my family will finally listen to me. And even worse, how are they gunna fix this? Offer a credit..? So I can eat more mushy fish? NO THANK YOU.

    I love the food and service here! The waiters were very nice towards the customers. They provide great service and I had to leave them a great tip. My favorite food was definitely the crazy tuna roll. It was so fresh and I would definitely recommend others to try it. Overall, I'm satisfied and would definitely come back.

    Takeout. Philadelphia and spicy tuna roll
    Julia T.

    I thought this pacific east would be better than the one on Coventry in Cleveland Heights. Sadly, they are both pretty bad. The taste of the sushi is probably one of the worst I've had. Something just always tastes off, no matter what roll I get. They also use way more rice in their rolls than any other sushi place I've ever been to. It's the closest sushi spot to me though, so whenever I crave sushi I'll still cave because of the convenience of location. I pretty much always regret it though.

She is truly a gem at The Capital Grille. The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed everything we ordered, and everyone had wonderful things to say about their meal. Even the mocktail was fantastic. I usually order an alcoholic drink when I dine out, but I would happily order that mocktail again. To top off the evening, they surprised us with celebratory desserts, which made the night even more special.

Unfortunately, it just does not feel like the same place anymore. First, the addition of high tops really changes the atmosphere. What once felt upscale and classic now leans more "sports bar with expensive steaks." Maybe that is just me, but part of the appeal was the elegance and experience. Then came the steaks. We ordered three expensive steaks medium, and before they even came out, the waiter realized the kitchen heard "well done." We politely asked for it to be corrected before the food hit the table. Somehow, one still arrived well done anyway. Thankfully, someone at the table took one for the team and ate it, but when dinner runs around $600, you hope the steaks and the temperatures are both memorable for the right reasons. At one point, a side dish was dropped on the floor. Accidents happen, no big deal. But we did have to gently clarify that yes, we would still like the dish... just preferably not the "farm to floor" version. The disappointing part is that I had promised a fantastic worker and his amazing wife a really special night out. This unfortunately was not it. I genuinely hope this was just an off night, because this place used to set the standard. For now though, we will probably try another steakhouse next time.

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.
