    four shot glasses of white wine on a wooden tray

    Eh. This place was just OK. We went right when they started opening up the restaurants after Covid so the outdoor seating was helpful and eased our concerns. We were told up front that the wait staff wasn't really wait staff they were kitchen people who were helping out for the day. The service was just fine. The food well, I'm not sure if it was a limited menu because it was during Covid or what but it was a very very limited menu. I think we got a pizza I can't even remember it was that forgettable. The wine wasn't that great either but the ambience was excellent. This review is coming off somewhat negative and I don't mean for it to come across that way. I Definitely would give this place another try but I would go into it with lower expectations. I am grateful, very grateful that they opened up as early as they did and gave us a place to go.

    I went here this past weekend with my parents. We were looking for something to do that would be relaxing, and being new to the area from California it seemed like a good choice. The drive from reminderville was really nice too! While I'm not a big wine lover, my parents are. I don't like reds or anything really dry so I tried the few sweet ones that were available. They were eloquence, discretion and defiance (did I mention they are all named after virtues?? Cool!). The defiance was my favorite (my mother said that was fitting lol), it was a rosė blush and soooo good! My parents said the ones they tried were all good with one exception but I don't recall which that was unfortunately. Tastings were .50 each and glasses were $5 I believe. We also got a cheese plate, and I ordered the meatball soup, can't remember the exact name. The cheese plate was pretty basic, the soup was actually really good but just a little bit salty. But not too much that I didn't enjoy it! The girls working were nice and helpful, service was good. It was pretty empty when we arrived but got busier by the time we left. The set-up was fine, tastings and food orders placed at the bar and they bring your food to your table. There's also a back room, like an enclosed patio and an outside patio as well. We would definitely go back!

    The food and wine was really good. I was surprised by the nice selection of both wine & food!

    See all

    They actually resemble a Merlot which is rare in an Ohio winery.

The food, for me, was nothing to write home about. The beet salad wasn't my fav but it was ok. The chicken I would not recommend because it had literally no flavor and the whole thing was covered in arugula why My boyfriend loved the burger though! And I thought the wine was good This place wins in terms of ambiance, it's really gorgeous and feels exclusive. I just wish the food matched that vibe. I'd come back for their brunch for sure in the summer, I hear they might have bottomless mimosas??

    We were seated promptly and it wasn't too busy in the patio dining room. It took almost 10 minutes…read morefor anyone to come to our table and greet us and ask if we'd like anything to drink. We placed our drink order and waited...out came 2 glasses of wine, then the third and then the beer that was ordered. Also asked for lemon wedges for the water which came after the beer. Placed appetizers order of crab cakes and smash burger. Waited a bit and then placed order for two salads as part of our dinners. Salads came out before the appetizers. I must say the crab cakes were delicious (maybe not $26 delicious), the smash burger was ok, very greasy and fries were not very hot. My biggest disappointment was my entree, Parmesan Crusted Seabass which is one of my all time favorites that I order when I see it on the menu. The plate looked delicious but looks can be deceiving. The Seabass was more breaded than Parmesan crusted. Usually When I order this it is Seabass topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and baked, this was not that! Then the sauce that covered the spinach and potatoes and lobster pieces had red chili flakes added(which is not noted on the menu) which added "heat" to the dish that I was not expecting nor was I able to eat. For $55 I was very disappointed. No, I didn't mention this at the time as we were dining with family and I didn't want to disrupt the dinner by sending it back. Such a simple thing to note on the menu description! The short rib was the best entree of the table, nice portion and delicious sauce. The filet was tiny, maybe 4 oz. Definitely not anywhere near 8 in as stated on the menu and it was hard to find with all of the broccoli on the plate. We will be visiting family here again but definitely won't be back here. On another note, the music they were playing would be more suitable to a dance club than a venue such as this.

    Came in for Christmas Eve dinner and had a great experience! Very small and intimate vibe and our…read moreserver was very attentive and helpful as well. Started off with bread that came with a great garlic butter. Wish the bread had come out warm but it was good. I had a Caesar salad with shrimp for dinner which was great, filling but still light and the shrimp were fantastic, nice and big and very flavorful. We also ordered Brussels sprouts, fries and "onion rings" for the table. The Brussels were fantastic, probably my best bite of the night. I also really loved the fries, they had the perfect amount of salt which I always appreciate. The onions rings were very good, but I would call them more of onion straws so just be sure you know what you're getting if you grab those. Others at my table enjoyed the burger a lot, as well as the shrimp pasta. A lovely holiday experience overall!

    Tonight was another Saturday night date night. But this was a special one. My wife just retired and…read morethis was our retirement celebration night out. So she chose the Christmas lights of Chagrin Falls and "Odd Fellows Restaurant" which looks out on the Gazebo and all the lights of the square. We arrived at the restaurant and immediately were seated at a comfortable table in the center of the room by a very professional young woman. Very shortly after, the sweetest, most bubbly young lady greeted us and introduced herself as Bianca, our server for the evening. I can't say enough about Bianca. She was absolutely extraordinary. Friendly is an understatement. She had a beautiful smile that never left her face. She was so personable you could not help but feel comfortable in her care for the evening. Throughout the 2+ hours we were in her hands she just kept getting more impressive. If you decide to give "Odd Fellows" a try you would be doing yourself a great service by requesting her as your server for the evening when you make your reservation. Our initial order included refreshing drinks from the bar along with great crusty bread and excellent "Roasted red pepper soup". Very nicely done. We followed that with our entrees. I ordered the "Sesame Tuna" which was very nicely prepared. My wife and sister-in-law had the "Walleye" and they loved it. My brother enjoyed the "Shrimp Bucatini". I must say the kitchen did an exemplary job all evening... Kudos to the entire kitchen staff. We followed dinner with excellent coffee and very nicely presented desserts. A marvelous finish to a marvelous evening at "Odd Fellows". I give them my highest recommendation and encourage you to give them a try. Don't forget to request Bianca -- she is the cherry on top.

    "Square Bistro" is a go-to place for us. When we don't have a special place we need to be. And we…read moreneed an easy, relaxed evening. The establishment that usually comes to mind is "Square Bistro". It sits on the scenic square in downtown Chardon. The beautiful small town atmosphere is very calming. Great for a pre or post dinner stroll. You don't have to be concerned in any way about safety before or after dark. It's just a great place to be. Making reservations is easy... but definitely necessary. Lots of people love this establishment. It is always full. They have a very nice conventional menu as well as an excellent Sushi bar. And currently they are having their "Fall Clam Bake" with loads of options. We entered and met Megan, our server for the evening. She had a smile that never quit. Her bubbly personality made for a very fun evening. She was very attentive but never intrusive. After ordering our beverages and appetizers she gave us plenty of time to get comfortable and investigate the menu options. A basket of the most wonderful warm bread was delivered to the table and when it was gone another appeared in it's place. All 4 of us ordered the "Tomato Salad" - Organic Heirloom Tomatoes | Fresh Mozzarella | Basil Olive Oil | Aged Balsamic Reduction | Fried Garlic & Shallot Chips. It is one of my favorite items from their menu. Everything is so fresh and the house made dressing is wonderful. I always look forward to it. For our entrees my brother and I ordered the "Veal Milanese Piccata" - Panko Herb & Asiago Breaded Veal Cutlet | Lemon Caper Cream Sauce | mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. Our spouses ordered "Crab Crusted Grouper" - Pan Roasted Gulf Red Grouper | Cajun Crab Crust | Lobster Saffron Cream Sauce | Chef's Grain & Vegetable. I always enjoy the food at "Square Bistro" so I must say, during this visit the Veal was not quite up to their standards. It had good flavor, however the breading was too thick and a bit dry. Also it needed some additional sauce. I only make that note because it was not the norm for them. I'm sure it was a one-time misstep. Everything else we ordered was excellent as usual. After dinner was followed up with an excellent cup of coffee and fabulous desserts. We had "Pumpkin Spice Creme Brule", "Ice Cream Bomba", and "Candy Apple Tart". Each and every one was exceptional! So, as usual, "Square Bistro" on Chardon Square was a wonderful night out. It was a great evening as always. This establishment belongs on your "must see list".

They seemed pretty busy but not too crazy. Food is good however they forgot our $18 sushi which was the main part of our meal. Really hope they double check the orders next time, because the food is worth it. Kinda upset but I guess we should have double checked the bag before we left.

Service is always a very pleasant experience & the food is delivered in an appealing manner as well. Where else could you get a pint of Christmas ale for $2.90?! - well you can't get it here anymore this year because the last keg blew. - If you're looking to play darts, this place has four boards - Hell yea! They also have a bowling machine and a pool table. Now let me tell you about the wings and the fries. For starters the fries are fresh cut from unpeeled potatoes and are absolutely delicious while the wings are simply to die for. I got mine crispy and they were done to perfection. I chose hot as as well as buffalo Parmesan garlic. Ooooo weeee they are delicious -now go and get you some!! 5 for $5 or 10 for $10 and I'll bet you could get 15 for $15 or 20 for $20 if you wanted to .

    Why a 5 star review when we have only tried a small portion of the items on the menu ? Because what…read morewe have tried has been excellent so far & plan to eventually try everything on the menu (that's why) ! Prices are quite good & affordable. The onion rings (Huge & solid, that bite cleanly instead of pulling out all at once. Leaving a handful of hollow batter) & fried mushrooms ( pretty killer too) are addictive. The burgers (I'd easily say that it is one of the 2 best burgers in Geauga County. The other being JC's up the road just before the square in Burton. Hah.....Take that Cleats ) & the giant chili dog are spot on (moist but not greasy). Speaking of the chili, we all enjoyed a bowl by itself & plan to order it again. Also look forward to trying the French Onion Soup. Really good potato skins that I could make a meal of on there own. The Buffalo hot wings aren't greasy & better than Cleats in Chardon as well (but not as good as the Pterodactyl Wings from the old Maxx Doogan's in Chardon that broke our hearts when it closed............SIGH ). Nice atmosphere & it is quite pretty inside as well. Folks were friendly, professional & helpful too. Based on what I have seen I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to take the children here for lunch or dinner. All in all very happy to have found them & hope it stays this way !
