My husband and I had an excellent experience here after a matinee show at The Playhouse. We sat at the bar and were totally charmed by the bartender. She was just the right amount of friendly and funny. We ordered The Amadeus specialty dessert cocktail on the menu paying homage to Amadeus (the show we attended). The cocktail was delicious! We also ordered a second round of drinks. They had a good wine selection and my husband loved his Old Fashioned. We also ordered the calamari and enjoyed the texture (slightly chewy) and flavors. The atmosphere is laid back, modern and classy. We definitely will be back!

Playhouse Square 5 stars This Playhouse Square favorite in the Crowne Plaza Hotel has the heart of the house led by Executive Chef Landon Barnes. He has taken his team back to basics with unique flares and fantastic authentic European additions. I was there w my son, age 11, who chose the Lasagna Bolognese, a dish completely new to him and he ate over half. He, of course, ate all the rolls rolls before the his entree arrived. One of my favorites, which I am finding less I and less, was on the menu, French onion soup. I started w that. It was sheer perfection. From the exactly right amount of cheese to the precisely right firmness of the onions and finally to the soup itself which I wanted to pick up the bowl and drink the last drop. Next I chose the German Soft Pretzel. I did this because I was saving room for Bananas Foster as dessert. Then the "soft pretzel" arrives. The description needed to read COLOSSAL GERMAN SOFT PRETZEL FOR 3. The pretzel was warm and crispy and soft accompanied by the most amazing authentic German mustard and cheese. We Loved it! Then the most incredible thing happened...a man stopped at our table and asked my son if he liked his lasagna. He talked with us for about 20 minutes about food and different types of food, ideas for food and getting back to basics and doing it right. He also got us to go boxes. If you know much about the food industry, you know most Executive Chef's don't wander the dining room- they tend to stay back in the heart of the house. When a chef is among the diners it shows the confidence, pride and love he has for what he is presenting. And he should - our dining experience was 5 stars! Wonderful, my sincere compliments to. Chef Brandon and his team. This is must eat at restaurant in Cleveland

What great service!!!!! Chef Alex is AMAZING!!!! I just had salad but another guest in my party had a steak. The Demi glacé was absolutely delicious. My inner chef wanted to know how to make it and clearly I just like to eat because 3 days to make ANYTHING is not in my repertoire!
