Gastro Pub

Lakewood

About the restaurant

Everything here is carefully curated to create a pleasant and interesting dining experience for those who visit. Cleveland magazine named it one of the 25 best restaurants in the city. Crumb & Spigot's menu is best described as a Gastro Pub, with a near equal emphasis on quality eating and drinking. Starters include Mussels with jalapeño lemon butter, house made Soft Pretzels with triple mustard and Dry-Aged Meatballs. For entrées, The Bar Steak with whiskey mustard and mushroom pan sauce or sandwiches like the Lobster Burger or Carolina Pulled Pork. Pizzas from our wood fired oven making our Speck and Mushroom pizza the center of attention notwithstanding an influence of vegan options like the Spaghetti Squash with arugula coulis.

We’ve never been but have wanted to try Valerio’s for some time. From the moment we walked in and were greeted till we left, I felt the service was excellent. Out server was Salvatore and he was a delight to have and made very helpful suggestions with our dinner. I had the cod and my sone had the Saltimbocca. Both were very tasty. The tiramisu was so light and one of the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to return again very soon.

We sat in a quiet booth, most patrons were outside, so it was nice & quiet. The food was good and servers were friendly, not overbearing. Gather is a favorite.

I cannot say enough great things about Lager & Vine, the food is always on, the staff is always warm and engaging, and the vibes here are immaculate. I have had the pork chop, the short ribs, and now the chicken marsala( with the mashed potatoes), and all three are delicious!!!- the Elqui Chilean red blend wine paired perfectly with everything and I feel lucky to have found this gem in my new town!

My experience was amazing!! The ambiance was top tier, the service was top tier, the food was top tier! Everyone in my party was satisfied with everything! I can’t say enough about this place! Special Shoutout to Jay and Anastasia for making my birthday truly memorable!! I would highly recommend (almost everything on the menu. lol) the mushroom risotto, the wings, the shrimp, the Lamb chops (yummm), the mussels, chicken and beef skewers, the date salad…like I said…almost everything 😁 The saxophonist for the evening was amazing!! I would highly recommend this place!!
