    LockKeepers is a reliable choice for fine dining. The primarily Italian menu has many items and specials seldom found elsewhere (duck Bolognese, for example). The wine selection is broad and similarly interesting. The service is always gracious, and yesterday everyone wished us a happy Father's Day.

    This is one of our "go to" places that is convenient for folks from Akron and Cleveland. It is casual but lends itself to more formal special occasions as well. Staff were well prepared to assist with and suggest ways to accommodate food allergies. Between the 4 of us we had salads (Franks and burrata), tomato-basil-artihoke soup, short ribs, veal Milanese, lobster ravioli and tuna along with their special oil cake. Service was great (thanks to Vanessa and team) and all the food was delicious!

    The food is some of the best we have had in the Cleveland area. The patio setting is lovely but the road noise a bit distracting. We had a new server, perhaps, who wasn't always speedy, but the food and the price point make Lockkeepers a good option. The warm olive oil cake was particularly good.

    Excellent food and service as usual. Always a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. The complimentary dessert for the celebration is a nice and appreciated touch. The only comment is that the staff kept clearing the table and drinks too quickly, which made us feel a bit rushed.

    We had not been back to LockKeepers in quite a while due to some inconsistencies with food and service, and we were so glad that we gave it another chance. Not only was the food delicious…the salads were very fresh and tasty and the entrees were wonderful (by husband raved about the gnocchi and my lasagna was the epitome of comfort food)…but the service was outstanding. Jesse and Karen were knowledgeable and helpful, and helped to make the evening so enjoyable! Thank you….we will be back!

    As usual outstanding food and service by CADE. Cade is the waiter we had a few months ago. He is exemplary with detail, remembering what we ordered last time, management of all my allergies and is always there checking into needs. The artichoke tomato soup rich and creamy. An apricot salad with salmon was fresh and perfectly made plus a mascarpone cheesecake that was perfection. This has become my favorite restaurant!
