The food was good and the portions were large. The server was fine HOWEVER the restaurant has a policy to not provide separate checks for parties of 6 or larger. That is disclosed in the smaller print when making a reservation, which I wasn’t careful enough to note. That spoiled our plans to pick up the Prosecco for the table. (We were hoping to pay for a celebratory drink for one of the members of the party. )What isn’t disclosed is that they will not split the bill over more than 2 credit cards. (There was a group of six. Two couples and two more individuals). Which I consider to be subpar for a restaurant at this price point. I always promoted this restaurant because of their mission but it will no longer be on my list of choices. It’s just too inconvenient.

Lovely ambiance and excellent service. Menu includes something for everyone-meat/non-meat. Sides can serve two although we weren't advised to order one for the two of us. Entree's have a middle-eastern influence which may not appeal to everyone's palate. Overall, worth a visit to decide for yourself!

Modern American cuisine in a modern yet comfortable setting. Restaurant is on the ground level of the Carlyle Condominium, at the back of the building with a view of the lake to downtown Cleveland--at night it was lovely to see the skyline lit up and looking very festive . Great service and food was excellent.

Making reservation very easy. Seated immediately Hostess and server extremely efficient and friendly. Food choices were good. Bacon was sweet instead of salty - not a big fan. Scrambled eggs were not quite done and toast needed jam. All in all it was enjoyable and I will return. M. Mason

Food was beyond excellent. As a first time visitor and having made reservations weeks in advance we had heard how beautiful the view of downtown was. Unfortunately we were seated at the end of the bar with a view of an ice dispenser and never really were able to see the downtown view as it was at the other end of the restaurant. Fortunately we had excellent company to spend the evening with which made for a very nice evening.
