    We have dined at Bistro 185 several times in the past few months. Typically service and food have been fabulous. Unfortunately this time we were seated on a back corner booth and the server forgot about us most of the night. Initially it took 15-20 minutes to greet us and bring a drink. Had it been our first visit we would never go back again. We know better than to accept that table and waitress.

    Enjoyed their fish special; veal chop and filet were other entrees ordered by my party . Oversize salad with beets is great to share. Generous cocktails. Key lime and coconut pies, again shareable, delicious! Melissa is a terrific server. We'll be back again soon.

    Fantastic, fresh food thoughtfully plated and prepared. Would recommend for any occasion. Moderate pricing, craft cocktails and from scratch desserts are also a nice touch. Will be back.

    Great setting in one of cleveland's oldest neighborhoods. Old bar, with gourmet food, perfectly mixed drinks and no pretentiousness. If you cannot find an entree on the menu you like, you literally do not like food. I recommend taco tuesday.

    Dinner was delicious and service was perfect. The booth was generously sized providing us with a nice cozy space to ourselves for conversation. Perfect.
