Fish fry and Italian sausage sandwich were ok but portion wise things were definitely smaller / lacking than what we were used to. The entire sausage sandwich had one small sausage link split in half across a massive ciabatta bun so it was all bread and no meat. Fish was just a tiny piece with lots of batter and "fry" but the tartar sauce was to die for. Luckily we got French fries on the side (which are always amazing) and I got to dip those in the remaining tartar sauce because I'm not kidding you I could drink it (LOL). Will always come back no matter what!

My husband and I had lunch at Tropical Bay Latin Cuisine on Friday and it was fantastic! 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!

We called to find if there was availability and due to the weather there was a lighter crowd than normal. We drove down from the Cleveland Clinic at 5:15pm. Pulling into the parking lot the winery is in a residential area and grapevines surround the place. Nicely landscaped and designed facility. Inside the atmosphere is what you Would expect if visiting a winery. Smaller tables, wine racks, soft sofas, and a big bar. Really nice. We drink reds, so Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot were ordered as they rated high/the best in California's latest wine competition. Young wines (less than 3 years) but good. The Pinot Noir was outstanding. Dinners are shared (I learned that) so order with that in mind. We had 1/2 loaf of bread, Vineyard Salad (excellent house dressing) and it was crisp, and Spaghetti Bolognese. All was prepared and presented very well. I'd order again. General Mgr Pete was personable and a wealth of information. Sun his graciousness, he offered a quick tour (and as a home winemaker myself) this was a treat. The production area was clean, limited in space, and organized. A barrel room is always a treat to visit and MA's is climate and humidity controlled. And of course smells fantastic. A great visit! And a return trip is planned soon. Oh crud, visit the bakery! Delicious and a must for chocolate lovers. And non-chocolate lovers too.

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

We are locals and I'm kind of obsessed with their soups. Although they didn't have a soup I'd eat…read moretonight, I saw a veg lasagna on the specials menu so we headed in for dinner. To start, we got the spinach dip, which was tasty. Our daughter got the kid's chicken tender meal and ate every single bite of her chicken which is really rare for her! Unfortunately, they server let me know that the lasagna special was only for lunch so I made a very strange order of French dip minus the beef on the sandwich and my husband got the shrimp. Now why this review is 5 stars: about 3 minutes after we ordered, someone (the manager?) came and asked if there's anything else they can add to my sandwich to make it more hearty since I'd said no beef. He then came back and let me know they do still have the veg lasagna if I was interested! I really felt like both our server and the manager cared that we got a good meal and I really appreciated it. The food was good, the service was amazing, and our kiddo was happy...yo can't ask for more than that!

The hostess greeted us warmly and kindly walked us to our table. Our server, Cam, was excellent--very polite, attentive, and a great communicator throughout the evening. We started with three appetizers: the baked brie with poached pear, bang bang shrimp, and the French onion soup. All three were delicious and well seasoned. The baked brie with poached pear was especially amazing, and the French onion soup had wonderful flavor. For drinks, we tried the basil lemonade mocktail and white chocolate martinis. The martinis were fantastic--rich, chocolatey, and delicious. The mocktail was refreshing but could have used a little more flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband ordered the beer-battered cod special. His fish was perfectly seasoned and the batter was crispy and delicious. My seafood pasta initially came out a little dry and needed more sauce. When we let Cam know, he immediately communicated with the kitchen and they brought out a freshly made sauce right away, which made the dish much more flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere was great and the entire staff seemed friendly and professional. Overall, we had a really nice date night and appreciated the attentive service. We'll definitely be back again soon! If you'd like, I can also make a shorter Yelp version (which tends to get more engagement) or a funny/lighthearted version for date-night vibes.

(One complaint was the wood fired pizza. It's just not there. First, it's not New York Style. It's an attempt New Haven style, or more simply, Neapolitan. It wasn't bad, but something just wasn't there.). As far as the location, the outdoor patio is great. Unfortunately, we were seated at high tables which is all they have inside. You really have to have a mix of seating. The service was good. The ordering is self serve and the staff helps. The problem is, it's on a system that restaurant servers would use to place orders, so it's not very user friendly. They really should invest on a customer-facing ordering software that's more intuitive. Another thing about the service is that, even if they don't have actual servers, they really could have some of the staff just mill about and check on tables to make sure everything was ok. Last, the Brew Wall: AMAZING! Love sampling the beers, and easy to use. Would go back just for that, which is kinda the point.

They finally asked if we had been here before and the 2 kids I had with me had but I stated I hadn't. They asked if we would be having separate tabs or all together and I let them know that the kids would not be drinking as well as I wouldn't and it would be all together. They then stated seat yourself, allowed us to pick the table, brought us menus... and no other instructions. Unsure of how to order or what to do we finally got up and asked the single gentleman who was walking the dining room and looking friendly. We finally figured out how to order (you walk up and order). We got a Stromboli, perogies, mozzarella sticks, garlic knots, and a burger. Everything came out not at a time within about 15 mins except the burger took an additional 10 with no communication on things. A girl (Jillian) came by when we were nearly done and had a couple plates stacked and asked if we needed anything, I said boxes in a bit but the plates could be taken. She glared with a look of "you want ME to take this" and then took them. Overall not very welcoming except for the long gentleman helping everyone. The 5 girls at the host stand didn't seem to care about anyone except their selves. It wasn't too busy when we got here and not loud. As someone who has worked in restaurants with bars you could see the frustration on guests trying to pour beer (self serve) with no clue how and very little assistance offered. Lots of foamy drinks. Would also be great to not have a whole onion with the perogies

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.

They are crispy AND fluffy! Yum! My scrambled eggs were not at all greasy or oily. My iced tea was delicious and refreshing. My lovely wife had the chorizo hash, which I tried. Oh, my. So good. And the chipotle crema on top was just perfect. They have excellent diner coffee here as well. My service experience was immaculate the first time and just OK today. He was fine initially, but I feel like he kind of forgot about us after he checked on our food. We were stuck way in the back. Maybe he was on a break, which is fine. I spent time as a waiter in two different restaurants, so I'm sympathetic, but I did not get a drink refill, and I wanted one pretty badly. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and it feels like a hidden gem.
