    Our server (Lisa) was polite, helpful, and attentive. She made my daughter feel special on her graduation from college Saturday. The food was very tasty, and my daughter’s porterhouse steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Three of us got the Sea Bass, which was beautifully cooked. There was not much asparagus in the dish, which made us wish we had ordered a side of veggies for the table. We’ll likely return when we’re in Cleveland again sometime.
