My eggplant parm came singly on a plate and looked lonely. A single slice of eggplant for $21 burnt on the bottom with some cheese and a little sauce. I finally ordered a side of pasta for $6 to make a meal.

Probably one of the best Caesar salads I’ve had. Good drinks, decent burger, and good fries. My one complaint is that the staff seemed like they didn’t care and weren’t very attentive. Other than that, nice spot

Food was just ok. Meatballs felt like they had been frozen. I got the lasagna and it was overcooked and hard to cut. My wife got the shrimp scampi and it wasn’t anything special, and they left the tails on the shrimp, which was an interesting way to serve it. We’ve been there for brunch before and it was tasty. Would go back for brunch, not dinner though.

This was not good. The food was terrible. The drinks were even bad. The server was nice but very slow. The volume of music was also very loud. They did lower it about halfway through our meal so that was better. We will not be back.

We had to ask the server to turn off air conditioning, it was freezing in the dining room. Special Easter dishes were put on website, avacado toast and a pizza that sounded gross is not a Special Easter treat. Disappointed

The special pizza was different than it used to be. Crust was thicker, no pancheta hardly any cracked Pepper. $16 espresso martini was almost all foam. Good atmosphere bad food and drinks

Bright side Cleveland was a terrific experience. Our server was super friendly and attentive and offered great suggestions. We loved the vibe and the music, and they offer nice brunch options. We went at 1:45 pm on a Saturday, and we were a little surprised that brunch are the only menu options available until 5:00 pm on weekends. However, the food was amazing. We are happy we found this place and we will be back.
