What a hidden gem! Or at least for me it was until I found this place. Now I see they’re on many best restaurant lists in Cleveland and for good reason.
I go to restaurants all the time and I’ve had plenty of good food, but this place is truly unique and special!!
The food is so good that I actually took my time to savor every single bite.
You can tell the quality of the food is incredible. You can see by their unique menu the amount of time they take to put these unique meals together. Although you can get typical breakfast items here I couldn’t resist trying some of their interesting and different brunch meals.
The quality of the food is obvious. The unique and rich flavors of the food was different and nothing like I’ve had before. It was one of the most incredible meals I have ever had. Period.
I can’t remember the name of what I got but it had short ribs with eggs and cheese and maybe some potatoes. It was also recommended by our server. It was absolutely incredible! It was packed full of flavor. It was savory, it was rich, and it was delicious. I took my time and savored every bite.
I will say at first I was disappointed at the portion sizes compared to the prices, but after trying the food the portion sizes were perfect. The food is that good, rich and flavorful that I didn’t want it to end. I don’t know how else to describe it. It was just that good.
My daughter had The Omelette which could not top the meal I had, but I was surprised at how good it was. I’ve clearly never had a good omelet prior to this one. I didn’t realize what I was missing my whole life. I forgot to mention how fabulous their coffee was too.
Everything from their coffee to the food was top notch and perfect.
This place is truly unique and special and I highly recommend checking them out for brunch.

We were here for a early holiday lunch. The menu seems small but the portions are generous. I am kind of a plain, simple eater so I ordered the Mediterranean chicken without the arugula, basil, hummus, tomatoes, etc. and added a side of Yukon potatoes. It was perfect for me. If you get the ham sandwich, which several people did, be prepared to be rolled out because it’s ginormous. We had a bit of everything from the dessert menu. They were all amazing. I don’t you could go wrong ordering anything off the menu. So just go for it!
The service was great. I told our waiter my order like 20 minutes before anyone else ordered and he remembered it. If he wrote anything down, I didn’t see it, but my order was perfect. Everything was pleasant. We didn’t repeatedly ask for anything or wait extensively on anything. It was great.
I hear getting in on the weekends is hard. I can confirm that getting in for lunch during the week is easy! Treat yourself.

Such a nice place! An absolutely wonderful patio with great ambiance. The food was what really stood out. We went for their happy hour specials and were not disappointed! The hummus and pita? Delicious. The dolmades? So good. The cheese board? Fire. Would totally recommend for a nice light dinner or lunch during happy hour.

My hubby and I decided we would have a fun get-away trip to Cleveland for the weekend. While we were walking we saw a restaurant we had seen featured on Guy Fieri’s show! We sat at the counter and were greeted with the kindest waiter!! He helped us decide what to order. The food is something that will have you dreaming about later!!! Its out of this world!! The service is even better!!! If you’re in downtown Cleveland , it’s an absolute must to visit!!! We would give it 10 stars if we could!! An absolute gem!!!

We just had brunch and it was the BEST ever! Jess our server was also the BEST! She made a great espresso martini and was so helpful in guiding us towards the best choice in our meal. Everything was delicious! And then we shopped in the market to get their very own Mediterranean made olive oil! We will definitely be back and need to try lunch, dinner, and happy hour! Yum!!!

This is a very informal place, essentially a cheese shop with some tables. But, service is engaging, helpful, and very fun. We stopped in for lunch after shopping at West Side Market. The cheese board was just great. The gyro was very creative with sort of a meatloaf instead of the typical meat mix, and crisps roasted potatoes. Really enjoyable. Only complaint is that Avgolemono soup definitely didn’t have egg in it, so not really the correct article. Really a fun place, will go back.

Best brunch in cleveland hands down. The croquet madame is easily the best I’ve had. The bechamel on it is very well seasoned with a nice rich flavor. The ham on this sandwich is also very high quality. The debris gravy saganaki has a very deeply flavored with a rich beefy flavor. The kasseri cheese is amazing perfectly golden and it’s incredible. The drinks here are also great. They’re strong but balanced there take on a mint julep is great with very punchy flavors. I really enjoyed it. The biggest downside is parking can be hard here it’s all street parking. But it’s absolutely worth trying.

The Prosciutto and shrimp eggs benedict was awesome, as well as the stuffed crepes. The bacon and sausage were bland. The mushroom omelette was good but the mushrooms weren’t cooked enough. The potatoes were also a little bland and needed cooked longer but the tzatziki was delicious. The arugula salad was pretty good. The coffee is really good. Overall it was a good breakfast, but some things were better than others.

Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Classic Cleveland experience. Authentic food with excellent quality. Our server was very informative. We were there on a Saturday, after the brunch, so we’ll have to go back to experience the full menu.

Incredible every single time! Brunch and dinner are equally delicious. Cappuccinos are unreasonably good for a restaurant!
