I've been to WSM many times before, but never tried the cafe somehow. I have to say that this place…read morehas some cool old school diner vibes. It's the kind of place where you would kinda expect to see an old man in a fedora reading the newspaper with a flashlight and a cup of black coffee...and sure enough, there he actually was. When we arrived they were busy but quickly got us seated and our orders taken. We ordered the West Side Market Omelette and The Hot Mess. The omelette was packed with vegetables and cheeses and comes with potatoes and choice of buttered toasts. The Hot Mess is a perfect choice for anyone who likes a savory, but somewhat sweet combination. Everything tasted great. I believe I saw that they use fresh ingredients from the WSM as well. Between the food, atmosphere, and the classic diner vibes, this place is a gem and I'm looking forward to coming back soon.

Even before we got I food, I already knew I was giving this place 5 stars. I felt like I was…read morestepping back in time! Pretty loud and busy, but still a great time. All the staff welcomed us and were hospitable. Their menu looked so good and has tons of breakfast options. It was all very filling and tasty. The omelettes are well seasoned and herby, and their sausage gravy is super good (it was sweeter than I expected, not in a bad way. Maybe they use maple sausage?)! You can then go shopping afterwards or stop by after a day of shopping for a drink. Overall, I would say it's gonna be one of my new favorite breakfast sports in Cleveland and I can't wait to come back and bring my book to read while I eat!

I wanted to like this place I really did but I think people hyped it up so much that I set my…read moreexpectations too high. This place gets very busy depending on when you go so it gets a little too tight for comfort. I kind of felt like people were eating on top of me when we were seated eating dinner with a group of friends. Service is decent but if you want to go for drinks, it's probably best to just go to the bar for faster service. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and try. I ordered the Banh Bao and the presentation is there until you open up the bao. I was very disappointed to see more fat to actual meat ratio in my dish. It was also a little bland so I got a little more disappointed that we paid so much for bland food. I think the only thing we did like was the fried calamari because I would have never thought to dip it in sweet chili sauce.

Tonight my wife and I decided to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary at 17 River grill. Now I've…read morebeen there before no stranger to it but I felt there was some issues that needed to be addressed. Our reservation was for 7:30 we arrived about an hour early just because I really like being prompt. At first glance when you walk into place I reviewed the dress code. Apparently I'm the only one that reviewed the dress code. Baseball hats, t-shirts hoodies not the collared shirt casual business attire that was required on the website. We checked in for our appointment our only prerequisite is we really wanted to have something with the view for our anniversary. We waited in the bar and ordered some drinks while I pass the time with my lovely wife. There is a fruit fly issue that needs addressed. I could not help but notice for all the employees standing around they're certainly were a lot of tables that went un bussed. As you had people that wanted to be seated one could logically deduced that bussing the table with one way to do it. After a while I went back up to the server station to check on our status all three people at the service station were entrenched into their phones. Tick tock, Instagram doing anything but bussing tables and tending to the customers. I interrupted the ladies whom were supposed to be working to have them check on a table for me. Nothing was available yet but the table had to be cleaned off. Ironic because they could have put their damn phones down and cleaned the table. One of the biggest time wasters with employees and restaurants is that phone. There's a restaurant in Cleveland called Town Hall that once reported to work your phone gets locked up therefore you get locked in to your job. This place would benefit greatly by making their employees lock their phones up. We ended up getting a table on the patio downstairs and my wife nearly bit it on the dirty and greasy carpeting as we walked downstairs. It was gross and indefinite need of being cleaned. Overall everything seemed sticky and dirty windows made it feel unclean. We were seated at our table for about 12 minutes until we were approached by our server she was very nice but clearly she seemed a tad overworked I'm not sure how many other tables she had. I counted no more than four different servers and two busboys walking by this table that had a bunch of dirty glasses on it and nobody bothered to pick it up. My steak frites were the highlight of the evening my wife had the filet which was also amazing for her. We had finished our mail and our conversation and we're ready to go but unfortunately our server was MIA. I could see her through the windows she wasn't wasting time she was actually working she appeared to be one of the only ones working. She must have received my message and came out to bring us a box and the bill. I went into the into the restroom on my way out of the door and in the men's stall I couldn't help but notice the lock had been busted and you couldn't lock the door. Which was super awkward as I was using the restroom there was a fellow who opened the door and got an eyeful. Nice evening cap. As we traversed the slippery greasy steps to head back up and back out I couldn't help but think how far this place must have fallen. I was unable to spy any management as I kind of felt feedback was necessary at this point. I chuckled to myself as I passed the hostess station in the same hostess that seated us, that I had to have her get off her phone to seat us was still on her phone. Must have been a really good video. So to whomever the owner or manager of this establishment is do yourself a favor: eliminate phones. That's the only way to save this place. There's no excuse to leave glassware and dishes piling up on tables that could be used to seat folks that want to have an enjoyable dining experience. * Clean your establishment. * Eliminate phone usage. The lack of productivity did not go unnoticed. I was not the only customer whom noticed. * Repair broken restroom locks in the downstairs men's toilet * Address the fruit fly issue in the bar * Degrease the steps and carpeting before someone is injured * Make an attempt to enforce the dress code so you don't look like a chili's * MODs need to be visible. Management by presence is an effective way to enforce duties. It's a shame that a place with such a fantastic view is not a place I would go back to.

One of the best pies, the filling is as refreshing and sweet. The bee pollen didn't have much taste, had a chalky texture but was visually appealing. Though the pie crust was hard to insert the fork (probably because of the honey?), it was still good. Favorite of the night. 5/5 Service was good, a little slow but they were busy. Seating was comfortable and reservations available online (walk in was fine too when I went). Heads up that there's a 3% dine in service fee. During brunch, we've ordered a pie to-go, and the pie was sadly still included in the dine in service fee. Parking available as street parking (pay via ParkMobile) or you can find a free spot if you're willing to walk a block or two. Overall good quality food, will definitely come back for more pie.

Sandwich: I'll try to do it justice! A normal hot dog style bun, but...a polish sausage with onions, a slaw (I asked, homemade, not mayo based; vinegar based great flavor tangy and sweet), and a sweet spicy bbq sauce topping it off. Incredible! And pretty cheap overall too! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids had smash burgers, which were a hit too. Everyone at the table left happy, and that almost never happens with four different orders. A nice touch while we waited: they had board games out, including chess and Jenga, which kept the kids entertained. The walls also had some interesting artwork, all with the same signature, so I'm guessing it's a local artist. Nice touch that added some personality to the space. The woman working that evening went above and beyond. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. That kind of service really stands out and made us appreciate the visit even more. If you're in the area, especially after a day exploring downtown, definitely give Aireals a try.

Ok, ok Matt - I am glad you decided to come back…read more At first glance the menu and vibe is very much like Melt - which is the true heart of the start of it all. Providing offerings of all types, having options that make your mouth water as you read through the them is a common feeling. I will circle back around to the food. I did like the menu being a bit small as it was extremely hard to decide what to go with. Small menu means he is keeping it fresh. The prices vary, but it is truly hard to determine what is priced to high or just right in the current economy. But I would said it is on par with other like minded establishments in the area. The back yard dining experience is a special kind of experience that is a must on a cool summer night in the CLE. Table seating throughout with a cozy bar which I could see myself sitting at in the near future. Service was fast and pleasant. We stopped in on the later side and everyone welcomed us and thanked us as we left. No one denied service and no one tried to rush us out. Now to the drinks - cocktails brought on a new touch of things using fresh herbs and average pricing. Selection of local beers and NA, along with small selection of wines. The main star of the show was the food! Wow! I had a hard time deciding from a Melt classic and something new because the something new sounded amazing. But I pivoted for this time and went with the classic Cleveland cheesesteak. But... I went with the vegetarian version which was not satin but smoked tofu. It was so dang good with the chipotle mayo drizzle on top. Yup - that is correct smoked tofu. While sitting in the back patio we did notice the new smoking the corner. I only could imagine what goodness will come out of that. My sandwich was huge, as it should be for the price but I an't going to lie, I got two meals out of that big boy! And I couldn't wait to eat the second half - it was calling my name all morning. Did I mention the smoked tofu - lol. Ok ok. My guys got food to and they loved it as well. If you got this far, all I have to say is don't look any further and get your butt in a chair and start getting your grub on. I am sure you will not be disappointed. Cheers!

But the intermediate pepper olive tapenade gave off an odor and flavor that made me actually smell the fish multiple times to be sure it wasn't rancid. The tapenade was awful to add and made me second guess whether it was that or the fish multiple times. I finally figured out the fish itself was okay and it was the bad sauce making the whole dish foul. The potatoes and Brussels sprouts app is always good and plenty spicy with a nice fried crunch. The tempura vegetables were good- mostly mushrooms and some potato I think with a spicy aioli and some sort of mildly sweet syrup type of sauce. The tofu wings were pretty dry and kinda tough. The burnt bbq sauce was unique and tasty- Smokey, kinda sweet, and definitely spicy. The aioli it was with was like a dilly ranch.
