    Doc's On Harvard Restaurant & Lounge - Lobster Risotto

    This is what I've been waiting for. An upscale restaurant with diaspora inspired flavours with the…read moreservice and attention you would expect from the Ritz Carlton while exemplifying the absolute best in southern black charm. 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!

    The food was superb. I had the white fish, and my husband had the pork chop. He was impressed-no…read moresmall feat. I don't care for porkchops as a rule, but when he gave me a tasty bite of his, I almost pulled his chop onto my plate! It was perfect! The service was good, too. The staff and the proprietors were attentive. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. 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.

    I discovered Zanzibar Soul Fusion via Google Maps after searching "Southern food Cleveland" for…read moreSouthern food restaurants with vegetarian options. I was pleased to find that it was listed on Uber Eats, which is my preferred ordering platform. Its 4.1-star rating (out of 2,000+ reviews) gave me the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience, along with an endorsement from Mallory S., a Cleveland Yelper I follow. There was another Zanzibar closer to me--which was the one I originally found--but this location was the only one accepting orders at the time and it had a higher rating. Looking through the menu at Zanzibar, I just could not order from this restaurant without getting the soul rolls. After a thorough search of the menu, I discovered that the standard soul rolls contained chicken, which led me to choose the veggie option--only to find out they were unavailable. Something I could not take my eyes off of was the walleye cakes entrée. It is served with a side of house cajun corn plus a choice of an additional side. The thought of ordering baked macaroni & cheese put a smirk on my face, so I swapped out the cajun corn for it, and then chose collard greens as my additional side. I ordered all of that along with a cornbread muffin! Hey now, I cannot order from a Southern food restaurant and not get cornbread! Whether using Grubhub or, in this case, Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is so convenient. Much praise to my Uber Eats delivery driver, Julian, for arriving at a reasonable time and meeting me in front of the hotel. Julian also made sure to confirm my identity before handing over the food, which I cannot thank him enough for. Oh, the wonderful smell of Southern food! I could not help but smell my order while riding the elevator up to my hotel room. I was very satisfied with the presentation of it, which had generous portions for the price I paid. The walleye cakes had a flavor my taste buds absolutely loved; they had a slight kick, but nothing unbearable. The addition of red bell pepper and green herbs complemented the dish perfectly. I would definitely order it again if I saw it on a restaurant menu. It honestly had me dancing in between bites! The macaroni and cheese had my mouth watering for more. It was a perfect blend of cheesy, buttery goodness, and it was clearly baked! My mouth watered at the first bite of the collard greens, which thankfully did not have chunks of meat inside. That was something I worried about prior to ordering, based on a past experience at another Southern food restaurant. They were so good--perfectly smoky, savory, and a little bit tangy. Mmm...Need I say anything about the cornbread muffins? They were the icing on the cake to top off this satisfying meal and the last thing I ate. It was the best cornbread muffin I have had in a while, and that is no exaggeration. If you are undecided on what to order at Zanzibar, I highly recommend this meal because it will surely leave you satisfied and possibly dancing. Alright now, Zanzibar! You have won over this Midwest traveler from Chicago. Because I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from Zanzibar Soul Fusion again--whether via Uber Eats delivery or takeout--whenever I visit Cleveland.
