   We had a 3:30pm reservation in a Sunday during the Film Festival so it was not crowded (they had just opened). We opted to sit at the bar and John, our server was attentive, friendly and got everything to us quickly. We ordered the Pissaladiere which was excellent! Flavorful thin crust with sautéed, (not carmelized) onions, garlic, Kalamata olives, fresh anchovies (just a hint) roasted red peppers. The Spinach and Goat Cheese “pancake” was very good too although it was thicker, more like a tart. Will go back again to try an entree.

   We had the "Lenten Fish Fry." We called it "Fancy Fish Fry." Perfectly prepared Fish and Shrimp, Fries and Coleslaw. Great staff and service

   We went there on Friday for the Lenten Fish Fry Luncheon Special. Absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

   Everything was great. The staff was courteous, responsive, fun and helpful. The food was delicious. I love the mission of the restaurant - it was specifically why we chose it. Would highly recommend.

   This was my first time dining here and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a supper before seeing a show at Cleveland Play House and it was a prefect location for a pre-show supper. Great food, good service, and very convenient location. We'll definitely go back.

   We really want to see Friars Table be a success, so we reserved a table for two prior to our show at Playhouse Square. We were immediately greeted and seated. We ordered wine and a cappuccino, then ordered our meal. The meal came out within five minutes of us placing our order -which meant it was pre-cooked. When my husband ordered the salmon, the waitress told him there were no sides to it, and we understood that. A small piece of salmon in a dish of cream sauce came on a large plate - I guess we shouldn't have been surprised, but we were. I might suggest adding a little something. My husband said the salmon was good. I ordered the pork which was supposed to have some fig and cheese; I didn't see or taste any fig or cheese, and mine was a bit bland. My husband's cappuccino was only froth - it had no coffee in it. My husband chose not to say anything. The service was excellent. I'm sure the staff is still learning. We wish you well!

    So glad this place was recommended to my friend and I. A pleasant atmosphere, friendly service with some top rated suggestions from the menu. We had the mushroom tart that was loaded with mushrooms and so satisfying! The lamb dinner was phenomenal! I was hesitant as I've had lamb in the past and wasn't a big fan, but decided to give it a try and I was so glad that's what we decided on. We ended the experience with coffee and the beignets. It was truly a delightful experience and we were not disappointed with any of it. The concept behind the restaurant and how they're trying to help others makes it all the better. Thank you for a great dining experience!
