    Amazing dinner with friends. And the restaurant continues to live up to the expectations. Great drinks, amazing food and an even better ambiance. Make a reservation, it's worth it!

    My husband and I dined here with another couple not that long ago. The service we received was excellent! The server and hostess were very warm and informative. We all had delicious cocktails! The atmosphere is super cozy decked out with European charm! I can't stress enough the loveliness of this space! The only downside was that for tapas , which we usually enjoy, we all found the food mediocre. We definitely will return for cocktails and might try a few different dishes.

    Amy was there instead of Nikki so I couldn't ask her to make her version of the Bitter Kiss, but I had almost an exact reproduction of my birthday meal, except with the soup of the day and an Emma off their cocktail menu which was scrumptious. In my earlier review, I guess I forgot that the Buffala mozzarella and arugula came with peaches *and* prosciutto. Amy was there and there also seemed to be an expanded cast of employees there, with Amy and a hunky bartender. A meal at the Reserve is always a performance, with delicious food, props, entertainment, tech theater in the form of a playlist and stage set. Amy was too eager to pick up my plate. Normally something I complain about in lesser restaurants I guess most people don't enjoy polishing off every bite of deliciousness that is my way. I mean every bit of the Emma was fantastic including the lime zest, which took the form of a roasted lime wedge.

    I had really high hopes heading into this dining experience. The menu had me intrigued and the ambiance is quite cute and inviting. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations. The food lacked flavor and even though it is tapas style, the portions are quite small for the price point. However, the service and cocktails were much more promising. If I returned it would be for pre dinner drinks, not for dinner itself.

    Well "The Reserve" certainly was not what I expected. We made reservations 3 weeks in advance. I thought maybe that was necessary because it was relatively new, hopefully really good, likely because of its excellent location in the center of Chagrin Falls. Turns out all that is true. But the biggest reason for the extended advanced reservation is because it is SO small! When we entered I was amazed to see a long bar to my left, a table in each of the two front windows, and 3 booths along the other wall. That was it. 5 tables and a bar... interesting. I wondered how this was going to work. A marvelous women, with a big smile, greeted us immediately and after confirming our reservation, seated us promptly. She introduced herself as Nikki, quickly took drink orders and was off like a shot to return just as quickly with our orders. After a comfortable period of time she returned to take our orders... I've always been impressed by wait staff that can perform their job strictly by memory while at the same time holding a conversation. A marvelous talent I do not possess. The menu is clearly tapas (which I love) and a bit limited, but sufficient for assembling an interesting meal. I loved my "Fig & prosciutto toast". The flavors were wonderful. That was followed up by a fantastic "Heirloom tomato salad". Hard to believe that much flavor could be in a tomato salad. Finally, my entree was a "Beer braised pork belly"... just excellent. After dinner coffee and "Chocolate Pot de Creme" was the perfect finish. By the way, after just a bit of conversation we found out Nikki is the owner of the establishment. She is friendly, engaging, and just plain wonderful. If nothing else you need to visit just to meet her. I highly recommend "The Reserve". It is an excellent experience.

    Don't sleep on this place! Came here with hubby for a date night. Very small space. Half is bar seating. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the cocktails and watching the bartender/server make cocktails. A unique experience. The many was varied and unique. Small plate style with moderate amount of options. Everything we ate was enjoyable. I thought the hot dog was pretty fun. Definitely recommend for an intimate meal!

    We were faithful fans of umami and have been to the Reserve 3 times since the change over. We really enjoy it. The reconfiguration of the space creates an openness. Parties of 2 should be prepared for a more communal dining experience at the bar. Sitting at the bar also means that you see all the wonderful craft cocktails being assembled. There are still well curated beer and wine lists but the cocktails are special. And there are 4 mock tail options, as well. The new menu is small plates only. New favorites include the sashimi (so undeniably fresh) and the hanger steak plate. The Shiraz salmon "caviar" pearls in the crab and caviar plate are also impressive. Reservations are highly recommended because the space is so small. Treat yourself and go!

    Beautiful spot in downtown Chagrin Falls. Very small space so definitely would recommend reservations, they're on Tock. Service was excellent, our waitress was engaging and very helpful. The restaurant focuses on small plates, we were starving and got four "starters," two "mains" and two deserts which was about the perfect amount of food. Oysters, steak tartar, the bison special, and tuna were all very good, would order again without any hesitation. Goat cheese dumplings and scallops were phenomenal. Both deserts were really well executed too. And the plating for everything was gorgeous. It isn't cheap but definitely a good value for the quality of what you get. Awesome date spot, will definitely be back.

I got the brat burger with potatoes, pickles and some type of slaw. The slaw is creamy, maybe lean more towards a flavor could make it better, a little sweeter maybe? Wife only got a pretzel, the creamy dip was okay, the mustard is great. However the pretzel could have proofed more. There were strands of uncooked dough inside. Overall still a highly recommended place.

The space is dark and cozy and you'll forget all about the CVS outside by the time you sit down. The menu offers a nice variety of small plates, salads, sandwiches, entrees and pizzas. There are also cocktails, wine and a small but sufficient selection of beers on tap. The prices feel a couple dollars higher than you'd want them to be ($18 for a smash burger or a 12-inch pizza) but are comparable with similar restaurants in the area. My parents and I split the Medjool dates starter, Crunchy Greens salad and a mushroom pizza and all were very good and enough for all of us to enjoy (sorry, forgot to take pics). We drove this way after cross country skiing at Punderson State Park, and I can imagine us going back after our next outing there. Do recommend if you're in the area.

My friends and I were having a girls night and we arrived at 8:00 pm and when we first arrived, we were told there was a 25 minutes wait. We waited almost an hour to be seated, other people that arrived after us got seated before us. The rest room was disgustingly dirty and when told about it, the worker said that they knew but they were busy. It took over 20 minutes for our server to come over and ask us what we wanted to order. Then it took about 40 minutes for it to come out. My food, as seen in the pictures, came out like warm, greasy and with no seasoning on the chicken. One friend of mine ordered chicken fingers and it came out cold. Another friend of mine ordered a burger, medium well and it came burnt inside and out.. Our server hasn't checked on those almost the whole time we were sitting and till we got the manager involved and then she can't come over every five minutes. Now, as we're leaving, all the surrounding stores around us are closed and now we cannot even finish enjoying our evening and we came far to visit our friend. I'm trying to give this half a star and it will not allow me so I'm gonna give it a one star. I did not recommend this place at all and this is the location at Chagrin Falls on Main Street.

This spot brings a shareable Italian dining experience, meaning large portions that don't compromise on flavor. For me, the true test of an Italian restaurant is its red sauce, and Capriccio's nailed it--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Whether poured over pasta or served alongside hearty entrées, you can taste the quality in every bite. And speaking of pasta, they make theirs fresh, which adds an extra layer of authenticity and texture to every dish! Beyond the incredible food, they offer craft cocktails, which immediately caught my attention because, well, I'm a low-key cocktail snob--the more intricate, the better! Their drinks are thoughtfully prepared, adding a perfect complement to the meal. Now, let's talk about dessert--because their Biscoff cheesecake is TOP TIER. Creamy, rich, and full of that buttery Biscoff goodness, it's a must-try. The server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Tip: Make a reservation Capriccio's is tucked away enough to make it an ideal date night spot--whether with your partner or your sneaky link (no judgment here!). I'll definitely be back for more of their authentic flavors and cozy vibes!
