Best Date Night Restaurants in Independence

We always get the tasting with wine pairings. It is always quite good, can’t help but wish they would do something more innovative with the main course thought….its always beef, well cooked but boring and doesn’t hold up to the other courses.

This is the model for a great seafood restaurant… came here serendipitously two years ago not expecting anything.. was shocked a restaurant this good could be so far from an ocean. Returned today… hoping it was still great. It is. The staff greeted us warmly as if we were well-liked regulars. The atmosphere softly lit, with every table full, yet without feeling over-crowded. The menu just right… all the favorites.. with nice touches and specials… all fresh. Dessert offerings were solid… and maybe that best describes this restaurant… a solid 9 out of 10. It would hold its own in Manhattan, Miami Beach , Boston or LA.

WOW! Amazing experience of dining. The entire night we felt like we were given such attention and guidance from the perfect appetizers to the Primi to the ensalada to the pasta and bone-in-ribeye! Wow! Dawn and the entire staff were welcoming and attentive —-we must have had six wait staff taking care of us. We felt we were in the kind of care European restaurants strive for…can’t wait to come back.

Christopher took care of us really well. Despite being arguably one of the best steak stops in Cleveland? We went for the seafood tower. Mac n cheese side and a chicken spring roll app. Food was incredible, everyone was attentive and the ambiance was superb. Honourable mention: the bananas foster desert is table made and done so beautifully. 10/10

Had a late Christmas Eve lunch. Everything was exceptional, service, food and cocktails were all perfect+. Giuseppe, our server, could not have done more to makes us feel welcome and take care of us. The restaurant even served complimentary Snickerdoodles for the day - sweet touch. Thank you, Lockkeepers, for such excellence with your food and staff and being open on Christmas Eve. We look forward to our next visit.
