- EEstherCleveland / Akron / Canton •3 reviews4.0Dined on Apr 20, 2025Brunch at Doc's Restaurant on Harvard was a great choice for Easter Sunday. The Chef's excellence in preparation and presentation was evidenced in the creative and delicious menu items. The ambiance of a warm and welcoming setting, which was enjoyed by me and my family, was enhanced through the attentiveness of the owner. Hopefully, an increase in staffing levels will decrease the extended wait time between courses, eliminating the one negative aspect of the dining experience.More infoDoc's On HarvardPrice: Expensive• American• Shaker Heights•5
