We originally found the restaurant on TikTok so we planned on coming to the haunted house restaurant for our 7 year anniversary! The environment was amazing, the food was amazing and service was amazing! We drove 2hrs and 33 minutes to come to the restaurant! We definitely loved every minute of it! We definitely will be coming back!

Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
