Best restaurants near me in Avon / Avon Lake, OH

This was our first time visiting & we had a wonderful experience, from the moment the hostess opened the door for us to enter until the end when the server walked us to the door. Our son gifted us with this experience & to be honest, we had never heard of the Strip; but we will be singing your praises now. We had a private corner table on the first floor since my wife is limited with mobility. When I called to make the reservations the hostess asked us if we wanted upstairs or on the first floor; this removed any surprise of showing up & realizing we needed the first floor. The hostess also asked us what we would be celebrating before we arrived which made the night more special. I would say that we had the best server in the building but honestly they all seemed to work together as a team for the good of the guests. Now, the food. WOW! I had the Cowboy steak & my wife had the salmon; not only was the food delicious the portions were large, so large in fact that we brought home enough for lunch & dinner the next day. The server realized we were not going to be able to eat everything & asked if we wanted boxes. She brought the boxes out & packed up our leftovers; just in time for dessert. There were so many choices, but we chose the banana cheesecake. It was decadent & looked beautiful complete with a birthday candle. We saw money on the walls & on the fish decor, which seemed a little odd. Turns out not only is the atmosphere welcoming & the food top notch but the owners give back financially to the community. Turns out the owner matches dollar per dollar what is collected throughout the year & gives this money to a local nonprofit organization that blesses children all year. The USA Flag hung on the wall next to a praying hand display appears to be the outward decor of the foundation of this fine establishment. If you haven't tried the Strip check it out this summer I'm sure your experience will be just as memorable as ours.

Food and service were excellent. Nicely decorated and pretty busy for a Monday evening. We did have reservations for three. Highly recommend.

Everything was very good. We both had the branzino. Since you don't carry High Noon and had a non-alchoholic drink. All it was was ginger beer, grapefruit juice and a basil leaf in a very small fluted glass......for $9.00!?!?!. Then she asks me if I want another one. I said no. She jokingly said Oh, you're driving? I said no, $9.00. That's a bit much for a little juice and soda pop.

The new manager is wonderful. So attentive and genuine. That attitude permeates the entire staff. Great job.

Love the new restaurant - beautiful decor; Heather provided excellent service. Menu diverse enough to satisfy a party of 6
