They have a ton of wine and an extensive beer cooler which I love. They also had a really fun seasonal cocktail menu with lots of variety. I got the Sanguine - a red sangria. It was pretty good. My friend got the seasonal pumpkin pie martini which was delicious! Didn't eat any food, but I'd def go back to try this especially if I'm in the area. Service was friendly:

This place is worth the visit. 1st time: Our waitress was Janayla. It's the first time we have ever seen her, she is new. What a great addition to the team. She was so professional, respectful and you can really see she loves working with people, all smiles, very attentive and helpful. 2nd time: We are on our way to visit family, we asked if they wanted something to eat. We sent them a link to their website menu, and they texted their order. This time we ordered front in the front. Wilson one of the owners was taking our order. That man gets dressed with patience in his sleeves... lol. He was so good to us as we were trying to get everyone's orders right. 3rd time: Today August 22, 2026 - My husband asked me what do you want for lunch as we were driving back from Ukraine Parade in Parma. I said nothing, not hungry. He said what about Tropical Bay! He knew I would change my mind. This time Joelys took care of us. She's been there ever since we started going. Wonderful young lady and I know she's been rightfully going up the ranks at the restaurant and given more responsibility. She does a great job! Already knows what I order and all the intricacies. She's always happy to see the customers. Through every visit if the owners are there, especially Diana she makes it a point to come see us and takes a few minutes to say hello. They are salt to this earth wonderful, hardworking people. My favorite: Fried Pork with Tostones - I love all their food but I'm Latina so I make all these foods, I don't make the pork bites and tostones. These are melt in your mouth. My husbands: Tri Fongo with Shrimp, Cuban Rice, Rice and Bean The food I took my guest that they loved, Beef Pastelillos/Empanadas, Dominican Chicken, Butter Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice and Beans The place looks so cute and celebratory. Music playing, the Tropical Feeling, it's so nice. You will not be disappointed. I have severe food allergies and this is the only place I trust with my life.

We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

It was very insightful to see the community gathered all in one location for the same purpose.

For dessert I got the almond raspberry cake and I felt like the sweetness was perfect. It was one of my favorite almond cakes I have had out here. My favorite appetizer was their Brussels sprouts. I wish I would have ordered a side of the sauce because that's what made it good. You have to order on your phone and I recommend to not show up hungry because if you're seated in the vineyards room, their wifi shows up sporadically and you have to quickly click it before it goes away. We did like that there was no server but wish they got a wifi extender or just better wifi to make it easier on the clients. For the bad. I ordered the mushroom pizza which didn't have much flavor to it. It felt like it was missing something. The best way to describe it is bland. We also ordered the truffle fries which were ok.... I don't think they deserve to have the name truffle on there. I was excited for the food because people have raved about it but maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Overall the place is ok. I can find good desserts and food anywhere else for a better price but I'm glad I came once.

It was nothing like an actual Nashville hot chicken. The outside had a fishy taste to it and there was zero seasoning to it. The fries were ok, nothing special.

We ordered spanakopita, roasted red pepper hummus, a small salad, a lamb and beef gyro, a blackened salmon gyro, and baklava. Our total came to roughly $60-$70 and it took about 15-20 minutes to get everything ready. We sat on the patio while we waited and one of the employees was nice enough to bring our order out to us. For starters, the hummus was amazing. I didn't expect there to be such a kick, but it was phenomenal. The pita was delicious and the veggies were the freshest set I've had in a very long time. This includes the veggies I find at the store. It took me about 3-5 days to finish the hummus and the pita and veggies were just as fresh. I loved the beef and lamb gyro, it was the best one I've ever had! Andrew on the other hand was less impressed with his salmon gyro, but he's extremely picky when it comes to salmon. He tried my gyro and said he will definitely be ordering that next time we stop by. I tried so hard not to finish the baklava in one sitting, but it was SO good. This is one of the best restaurants we've tried in the past 3 years and I'm disappointed we don't live closer. We will have to make this a monthly trip

Food was great, ordered a selection of apps for the table to share as well as a Panini, bacon smash burger and the chicken alla vodka. The apps we got were the house salad, mozzarella sticks, the soft pretzels, and chicken tenders. The chicken alla vodka was SO good, the sauce was not too acidic and tasted fresh plus the chicken cutlet on the pasta was crispy but definitely still full of flavor and not dry at all. Their chicken tenders with honey mustard are always a staple, definitely a fan favorite. The staff were super friendly, frequently checking in and asking if we needed any help. They were on top of dishes and even kindly helped us remedy an ordering error. The manager was great, making conversation while we got up to place our order and grab our drinks. Plus, on a Tuesday evening there was a selection of tables to choose from and the patio doors were open which offered great airflow.

They were nice enough to accommodate changing the tv to THE Ohio State football game. I ordered the OG Smash burger and fries and my wife ordered the Philly cheesesteak bites. We both drank water. The food came out in a timely manner. My smash burger was cooked well and I could tell it was quality, fresh beef. That's about where the upside ended. The burgers weren't seasoned at all and the special sauce that was supposed to be on it was maybe a teaspoon full and had soaked into the bun. I couldn't taste it. The fries were borderline cold. My wife's Philly cheesesteak bites were hot and delicious though. The bartender was very engaging. Sometimes a little too much. We didn't need to hear a story about how he made a coworker walk out. All in all, it was a good experience and the food was good. We'd definitely try it again just for the pizza. The pizza looked and smelled amazing.

What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.
