   It was our 40th wedding anniversary. We had reservations. When we arrived there weee only 3 other parties seated. Once we ordered our food arrived at our table in less than 10 minutes. At that time I knew it was impossible that our meals had been freshly prepared. I had scallops. They were prepared nicely but very chewy which, to me, indicated they were not fresh. The risotto was barely warm which indicated it was prepared in advance. The taste was very strong and I actually could not eat it. I believe it has been warmed over. I have no proof of it. I really like risotto and was looking forward to having it. Needless to say, our anniversary dinner was ruined. We were very disappointed. Although the waiter, Tony, was kind, he seemed to be afraid to get too close. He always seemed to be just passing by instead of really serving us. I do not plan to return.

   Excellent all around! I got the wedge salad and the filet. The filet was cooked perfectly and was super tender. My husband got the blueberry salad and brisket, both were great. Drinks were very tasty and even the bread and butters were delicious. The lava cake and ice cream dessert was a lovely end to the meal. Our server was attentive and friendly, we’ll definitely be back.

   Risotto was not really Risotto, it was more like rice with a little pizzazz. We didn’t feel like when we left we were satisfied for the amount of money spent to quality of entree:. Drinks were delightful, and service was great.

   Looking for a quick after theater dinner. Nice atmosphere, close to theater, everything was fine but nothing special. I usually look for a dining experience, it was not outstanding

   I took my family for Downtown Cleveland Restaurant Week. We had a great time on an early Sunday afternoon. We received excellent service from Chris and enjoyed generous portions. The atmosphere was bright, classy but not too forward about it. It felt like a more polished version of one's go-to neighborhood restaurant.

   We visited the District for brunch before a show. The location to the theater was a quick 5 minute walk, which was our primary reason for choosing it. The vibe was pleasant and they had a duo performing some quiet easy listening music. The food was a bit of a disappointment. Two of us ordered the breakfast omelet which lacked on flavor and was over cooked. Our other guest ordered the eggs Benedict which she said was good. Service was slow even though it was not that crowded. I would return only for the convenience of being a close walk to the theater.

    First time there. Very disappointed in scallops entree my husband got. It looked like what you’d get for an appetizer - 5 very small pieces with 3 pieces of asparagus that’s it. $28 ? I had to share my dinner with him, which was just ok. Over seasoned pork chop, marinated in garlic or something. Nice atmosphere but not impressed with food

    After being seated, had to wait a long time for a server to bring water and drinks. Food was average. My salmon dinner was food. Spouse had pork chops. The pork chops were tough. Dessert creme brûlée was a frozen dessert - certainly not home made (and disappointing). Coffee sat too long.

    The tables were too close to enjoy a conversation with my wife. The person sitting next to me was bumping elbows with me. In addition the service was less than average. Lastly, I ordered the filet cooked medium. Not only was it a terrible cut, it was cooked well and tasteless. I will say the truffled mashed potatoes were very good. All in all I really can’t refer a friend to District and I won’t be returning. Thank you

    Overall a good experience, just a few Minor things. I asked to be sat in a more romantic location if possible. We were instead sat in a very very loud corner area between 2 groups. It did quiet down a bit after another table left but it was difficult to carry a conversation in the beginning. We also had 7:30pm reservations and the menu was fixed choices due to it bring NYE and at 7:30pm items (clams) were already sold out and unavailable. Also had to ask several times for the cocktail menu. Other than that, we had a great time with the friends we were with and the food was good.

    We went before the theater, but there were no reservations prior to 6:15 PM and our play was at 7:30 so we were concerned that we would be rushed. We got there a little early and there were only two tables of other diners, so I have no idea why there weren't any Open Table reservations available before 6:15. That was the first red flag. Our server was nice enough, but there weren't any specials and nothing on the menu popped out at us. I ordered the brisket and it was full of fat. The gravy was gelatinous and unflavorful. My son ordered the Delmonico and it, too, was totally fatty. He probably had 3 bites that weren't full of lard. Totally gross. My other son got the scallops and liked the dish. Husband got the parppardelle and it had so many olives in it that the flavor overtook the dish. When we left, the place was nearly empty except for a few people at the bar. Also, we sat in the middle of the restaurant, not even by the door, and it was still drafty when the door was opened. Overpriced food that isn't very good. Don't make the same mistake we did, and go to Cowell and Hubbard or Cibreo before the theater.

    I realize we were there pre-theater and the restaurant was very crowded all with pre-theater people. However the confusion going on with the food and drinks out of the kitchen was incredible. The food tasted good, and our server was very attentive,but items all came in a random order. The tables on either side of us were also missing items. Entrees coming before appetizers, sides and drinks never showing up. It was very chaotic. District is leaving a lot of money on the table. More drinks would have been ordered, possibly dessert. From being crammed in I could see the same happening at the adjacent tables.

    We happen to be at a show this past Saturday and saw the restaurant, looked up a few reviews (They were great), booked our reservation on OpenTable for after our show and arrived with a super friendly staff and super accommodating. My wife got the short ribs and they were fantastic. I got the seafood risotto dish and it was absolutely outstanding ate every last bite. Great place ! We will be back every time we go to a show.

    We were originally seated by the door (pet peeve of mine especially having made reservations a month ahead of time). Thankfully the host reseated us along a wall with other guests. The food was decent. Nothing to write home about. Our server was great but didn’t make up for the noise level and ok food. Probably won’t go back. Just didn’t feel like the price matched the whole experience and resulted in a low value result for me.

    This was our first time there, and the ambiance and the menu exceeded our expectations. However, the food fell far short of what we expected. The salads we delicious but the entree, the prime rib special, was tasteless and the texture was as if it had been put through a tenderizer. They did give us a free dessert and we chose the pumpkin trifle. It was tasteless, as if they opened a can of pumpkin and didn’t flavor it. Very disappointing

    What District has going for it is the proximity to the theaters. It has a cool décor and vibe. The food was ordinary. The drinks were good. The service was good and prompt but they forgot the salad dressing in my wife's salad.

    My wife and I go out weekly for date night dinner. Our experience at District last Sat was wonderful. Our server (whose name I don’t have) was great! Attentive, competent and friendly! My barramundi was delicious! Again, we eat out almost every Sat and have been to most every fine dining restaurant throughout NE Ohio and beyond I would put this experience up against any restaurant - including restaurants with entree and wine prices double that of District. In a word, great job!!

    It would be extremely helpful if the menu explained that the fries accompanying the wraps and sandwiches were sweet potato fries and not regular fries as it suggests. I despise sweet potatoes and there was no accomodation even suggested after the waiter asked if I was ok with that and I said no and the plate was already in front of me. So, wasted food product that could have been avoided. And, for the price of the meals there should have been a suggested alternative.

    Initial service was good, but had to ask for bill and then no one came to pick up the payment. Only two tables in the restaurant, so they weren’t too busy to give good service. Food was good, but carpet was dirty under all tables and needed swept and the wood on the bottom of the tables was dirty and needed dusting.
