Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Rocky River

The service and atmosphere are impeccable, although it is loud on a busy Saturday night. The roomy, plush seating is reminiscent of a high-end 1950’s Vegas steakhouse, and so nice in a time where so many other places have you practically sitting next to strangers. We ordered the Smashing Dan Dan dumplings for an appetizer. They were delicious, but tiny. We were hoping that wasn’t a sign of things to come, since we came hungry. It absolutely was not! My son had the Wagyu ribeye with chimichurri sauce, which was not only huge, but divine. It was expensive, of course, but he said it was the best meal he ever had! Husband ordered the whole Maine lobster mac and cheese, which was absolutely delicious; rich and creamy, and filled with sweet lobster. I had the duck two ways. The breast was so good; perfectly cooked and plentiful, and the eggplant and baby bok choy accompaniments were very nice. The crispy duck leg was a little dry and over-cooked, however. It was my husband’s birthday and he splurged on a couple tableside-prepared old-fashioneds. The presentation, by the bar manager, was as fabulous as the drink itself. We capped the night with the tableside presented bananas foster. Just delightful. The rum cakes made it the best bananas foster I’ve had. Our server couldn’t have been better. He was attentive, knowledgeable and very professional. We felt pampered throughout the night! All in all, we really loved it and will definitely be back.

Great service and food as always. We love their menu with calorie counts, especially in January after Christmas! 

Sat in the bar area, server was very nice and attentive, got oysters (fried an raw w/toppings, delicious) We had the salmon (outstanding) and steak (good but needed more seasoning) Overall great night an will definitely be back

Fantastic food, best steak I’ve ever eaten! Special was 18z ribeye… and let me tell you, I couldn’t cook a steak like that if I tried! We went for our anniversary and the way we were treated was phenomenal. Diana was our server and she amazing! Highly recommend!

Wife and I had terrific dinner last evening. Ostrich and scallops appetizers, lobster pasta and mussels saffron pasta entrees all outstanding. Our server Jen was extremely helpful in choosing two bottles of the style of wines we wanted (we took part of each bottle home!). Looking forward to returning to try many other dishes.
