The Perfect Pistachio Martini is SO good. And little did I know, we were there for happy hour, and…read moreit was only $7. I usually wouldn't give a place 5 stars if I was just there for a drink, but this pistachio martini was just too good, and I'm still thinking about it days later. And the interior of this place was cool. I want to come back the next time I'm in town. I got the Banana Bread Espresso Martini because I was interested... hadn't heard of it before. But it was just okay. It was kind of watery, and mine had pieces of ice in it. I guess it was just hard to go from the creaminess of the pistachio one to the more bitter banana bread one. All in all, cool place, great happy hour prices, and really delicious, unique pistachio martini! Go here even just for that. See ya next time; thanks for having me!

This place is not…read moreyour traditional bar; it's a cocktail-forward, date night, girls night kind of joint with low lighting and eclectic, timeless adornment. To note: it's a small place and reservations are imperative. They don't allow standing room in order to keep the intimate feel, so plan ahead. I've been able to walk in and grab a seat at the bar, but this place is in high demand and frequently fills up. There's a 2hr time limit on tables to ensure a higher volume of patrons may indulge these unique, craft cocktails and award winning bites.

After visiting Kent State University we needed a place to relax and have a snack. We found "The…read moreRiver Merchant" 5 minutes from campus on the Cuyahoga River. It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

We took our family to Beaus on the River for Mother's Day 2026…read more We drove 30 minutes south, some of us driving 1 1/2 hours. What a disappointment. For $55 per person, we expected more. Much of the hot food was cool, the "fresh" fruit was fermented and they ran out of desserts. I was disappointed and embarrassed that I had made the arrangements to choose this place. The best part was the ambiance, the mighty Cuyahoga entertained us as we ate. Our server was pleasant and took good care of us. We won't return and we won't be recommending Beaus on the River to anyone.

I mean, I…read morecan work anywhere, but this place has a very unique atmosphere, and the food is fantastic, and the service is very processional, and it's IN A HOTEL. So like, that's perfect.

My wife and I went here last night with some friends. It was our first experience at Downtown 140…read more This place was very busy, so if you're going on a weekend, highly recommend a reservation. Even Uptown 140(upstairs bar with appetizers available) was super busy. Kind, nice, and attentive service from the staff. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or special occasion. Our friends hold this place in high regard and had us hyped up to try. Good variety menu for drinks and food. I was told they rotate the menu to always introduce new dishes. Our friends ordered a red blend that was very flavorful. I had a lavender cocktail that was strong yet good. We had calamari for an appetizer and it is one of my favorite experiences with calamari. Very flavorful in a crisped bun with a savory sauce. My wife had a crab cake and I ordered the chicken dish. Chicken is often not very exciting to order, but this dish caught my eye when browsing the menu. I was blown away by how well they had the chicken prepared and how flavorful the sauces and additions were to this dish. Even my wife loved it. My wife enjoyed her crab cake. This is a pricey restaurant, but you get what you pay for. I saw several menu items I have interest in trying, so it's safe to say we'll be back.

The food has totally spiraled in recent years. Our latest trip was the absolute worst. The wings were underdone and had the most watery "buffalo" sauce that had next to no flavor. The chicken club looked really good when they set it down until we realized it was only half filled. They put the chicken in the middle and cut it so it looked abundant but then the outer parts of it was just bread and lettuce. The fries are flavorless and underdone. Salt and ketchup can't even save them. They also reduced hours so they are no longer a late night after concert spot. Really disappointing.

This restaurant is on a cliff overlooking the river rapids. It could be a McDonalds and it would be…read moreawesome. But it's NOT. It's actually reasonably classy. It's like, a converted old mill or something like that. So the inside of it is almost as fun as the view. It's friendly enough for families, but could be a little more intimate or romantic if you wanted. The food was great. Honestly, I was disappointed with the tuna nachos. It was literally 6 nachos. I mean, in retrospect it's fine for the price, but it definitely did the job of the appetizer. I could have probably consumed 100 of those. As for the meals, everybody had clean plates, so no complaints there. I had the avocado chicken club, which did not leave me wanting. We did still have desert though, and I'm glad we did, because we got these little puff dough things with strawberry and chocolate dippers. Again I could have going through a bucket of those things. So yeah I guess the food is great. The service was good too but I did feel like our waitress recognized me from before I went into witness protection, but maybe that was just me being self conscious, and it made things only a little awkward because I didn't know if I should try NOT to look at her eyes because she'd recognize me, or if I SHOULD try to look at her eyes because otherwise she'd KNOW I was trying to hide something. But that's not really a reflection of the resturaunt.

Customers should not be treated this way!!! Nobody wanted to speak up, which was another problem. As for the food, the chicken sandwich and fries was mediocre at best.

I'd avoid this place at all costs, unless you want a rude owner to belittle you in public! Then ask for your money.
