Always an impeccable experience here. Food was exceptional; the rockfish marsala was a delicious, inventive new take I'd never seen before, and the scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned, maybe the best I've ever had. Drinks? Delicious. Dessert? 10/10. Live piano in the corner? Delightful. But what really stands out here is the waitstaff -- Ricky, our waiter, was so friendly, attentive and helpful, checking in at exactly the right moments, and we really appreciated him! Could not be happier -- this one of the best dining out experiences in Cleveland, hands down.

Such a fun experience! The food was incredible! If you have a horror movie fan, you have to take them! They have a purge birthday experience as well, which was such a fun little thing. I also appreciated that they could tell my autistic son was not excited about the characters, and they didn't go up to him! Would definitely come back!
