The pesto hummus was still good, the grape leaves were still tasty. The tabouli was the issue. Although the flavor initially was ok, as we got to the bottom, you could literally taste grit and sand, not pepper & salt. It was clear that some of the parsley wasn't rinsed well at all, which ruined the dish. It ruined our experience as well. I'm not sure if the food quality was diminished because we ordered right after they opened for the day or what the issue was. I will say the customer service at this location is AMAZING! They are so polite when you are there in person. It's quite refreshing! That alone makes me want to consider giving them a try in the future. TLDR - Don't order take-out as soon as they open. The food quality won't be as good as it usually is.

New location in North Royalton…read more I recently had a chance to visit the charming store and take a cooking class and it went beyond my expectations. The store was so beautiful and inviting. They take a positive effort in bringing French style to the area along with a sustainable stance. I took the French picnic class and it was well organized and delicious. There was a crew that helped bring out ingredients and equipment as you focused on the cooking element. Even cleaning up as you went along. Lots of care and detail was put into the class. On top of that everything we made was delicious. The salad dressing was simple and tasty, crepes had the options to customize with toppings, galette was savory and unique, plus the chocolate mousse was the perfect finish. If you have been on the fence about trying a class here, I suggest scheduling. You won't regret the experience and all you learn.

I've been hearing about this place for almost 2 years from my BF who used to work here when it was…read moreMedina Steakhouse. When we finally wanted to make a move to go during Valentine's, it was temporarily closed. Alas, we had to wait until the end of year for my birthday when it reopened to try it out. So I my anticipation and expectations were quite high at this point. This place really is more like a 2.5 star BUT I wanted to sprinkle a little recognition to the very solicitous (and attractive) servers as well as available parking. This place is billed as a French restaurant but their updated menu was completely devoid of all French items. This was a major bummer as I love French food and style of cooking. No duck, escargot, confit, nada. It was a bland menu with common Italian dishes. I ordered the pasta carbonara for my entree and was thoroughly disappointed. They used bucatini (while this is one of my fave pasta shapes) which is all wrong for carbonara. There was a lack of sauce as you can see from the picture and no eggy flavor at all. It was drenched in parmesan flakes and they didn't even use guanciale or even pancetta! The portion was too small for a pasta dish and for the high price. Our appetizer of pork belly was delish but I would've gone easier on the frying. BF's entree of spatchcock chicken was great as well. I ate a lot of that instead of my entree... Not impressed that in a place like this, they asked if we wanted to tack on bread service for $5.99. Wow, they can't even include it like most restaurants? Non merci! I look forward to going to a real French restaurant a lot closer to me with real French dishes and perhaps even free bread/rolls, literally SOMEthing. The newer one in Chagrin Falls looks tempting and authentic!

Our dining experience at Blue Heron was good! The food was timely and tasty, ambiance was…read morecomfortable, and management is especially proficient. The only barrier from a five star review came in the form of one waiter with a receding hairline and starter studs, who asked for certain IDs when our table was ordering drinks based on subjectivity and looks. An insensitive comment was made to myself and my friend; he said "She doesn't look young, but SHE does" A bit after me not being able to provide ID because I did not have my wallet, he proceeded to accuse me of sipping someone else's drink and threatened to take it away. Upon backlash from our table, he remarked that someone had been watching me to make sure I hadn't sipped any drinks. This made me extremely uncomfortable, like I was being watched. I don't believe any of this waiter's behavior is a good standard of conduct as far as professionalism. I have never had a problem with trying others' drinks at restaurants. Regardless, I Am 21, so there was not a real issue in the first place. Once management got involved, the situation was diffused immediately and we received abundant compensation for the bother, like free drinks and an extra entree to take home! Everyone (except hairline) was super sweet and accommodating. So, in conclusion, this place is awesome as long as you have your ID (or you look "old enough"!)

We asked if they had any homemade hot sauce in the back, and they brought some out--great heat, great flavor. We got homemade guacamole, which tasted incredibly fresh, like something you'd get in Mexico.

We finally went this past Sunday for Father's Day and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Service was excellent; very attentive and helpful wait staff and the place was very clean and welcoming. Food was outstanding; we started with a couple of their garlic cheese breadsticks and coupled with their fresh table bread we almost got filled up before the mains arrived. Next up, salads which were also fresh and paired with their house Italian dressing, outstanding, and we needed more of the fresh bread (had three hungry young men with us). Last up our entrees and we had a little of everything and it is all yummy. Wife had a Cobb salad that looked excellent and was. One son had the pasta with meatballs plus a cauliflower crust pizza, another son had a regular pizza with pepperoni, onions and sausage, our friend had the chicken parm and I had the veal parm. My veal was incredibly tender and delicious (waitress recommendation btw) and not much was left on the table. Four soft drinks, one very full pour old fashion (for me), two appetizers and six entrees and the total bill was $197 which was a hell of a good deal for the dinner we were served. Trust me, we won't wait long to come back. Fantastic restaurant!
