Restaurants in Rocky River

“Always a go to spot for our family.”

“Fire boba, IMMACULATE vibes, awesome owner! It’s a must stop!”

“I was invited to a music gig on a Sunday several weeks ago and have stopped several times since. It's a great place and bike riding distance from my home. Each time I've met new friends and owner and bar are authentice and unique! The music presented is such a gift.”

“My boyfriend saw a video on Facebook about another customer doing a review and shared it to me and we both agreed we had to try this place…. Did NOT disappoint!!! I had the BLT and he had the chef’s choice wraps. Mine had a bunch of flavor to the sauce. It was really good He said his was spicy not too spicy. We both had the cannoli chips and OMG!!!!! Soo good. Very dangerous 😉! You will get hooked!! We will be back!”

“Our local PTO ordered their grab and go catering for a Staff Appreciation lunch. I have received so many “thank-you”’s and compliments on how delicious it was! Highly recommend. BONUS we were able to help support a local business AND treat our hardworking teachers and staff! GW PTO 100% recommends!!”

“We had Old Carolina cater our wedding this last Saturday (2.24.24) at Lake Affect Studios in Cleveland, OH and we cannot thank the staff enough. We opted for a buffet option which worked out so well. We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was. When we were thinking about food for our wedding, I knew I wanted a barbecue buffet! Once we saw they were on the preferred list of vendors for Lake Affect Studios it was a no brainer and we went with them as our first choice. We used to love eating at Old Carolina when they had a restaurant in Mentor, OH. Kelsey was so helpful in answering all of my questions leading up to wedding day, and assisting with the set up the day before. They did an amazing job keeping everyone fed and the staff was friendly and efficient. They let us take home left over food and we were able to enjoy the barbecue even after our big day. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding the perfect day! - Rachel & Pete”

“Amazing food! I had a hot reuban sandwich, and it was one for the books! It was piled high with corned beef, just the right amount of saurkraut and Swiss cheese. Then, grilled to perfection. The French fries were fried to a golden brown and were just right. I skipped dessert this time. In the past, I have had the carrot cake, yummy. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming. Our waitress was accomodating and helpful.”

“Amazing service, large potions and FRESH salad! I loved it!”

“I've had the pleasure of visiting Gather FOOD & DRINK twice, and each experience has been fantastic! The staff is incredibly welcoming, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for relaxing. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!”

“they have a separate vegan menu which most non vegan places dont”

“I Celebrate my 60th Birthday at Salmon Dave’s (3/15).For my entrée had the Pecan crusted Grouper dinner.. It was great. The atmosphere was nice and our waitress (Bird) was the best.. We will return.”

“Amazing pizza and great atmosphere”

“I would give this place 5 stars if I could! We went for my birthday dinner and it was a great experience. They have a whole vegan menu and large portion sizes! Our waitress was wonderful too. We got the French Onion soup (which I’d literally never had before bc I’ve never found a place that had a vegan one), the blackened tofu Tartine, the Brussel sprouts, the vegan steak entree and a pb, chocolate, caramel dessert! Also, we ordered a side of the wild mushrooms and they were to die for! Everything was delicious and we had leftovers to take home too. Can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in town!”

“Love this place. The hub wanted to try a new place and this was his pick. Smart choice babe! Great service, atmosphere and delicious food. Jessica was the absolute best!! And no, we're not affiliated to establishments or Jessica. Just die hard honest reviews!

“Great and warm atmosphere , the staff are very friendly. The food never disappoints. Highly recommend going there or doing take out !”

“Will forever go here for any and all of my cake and dessert needs! They knock it out of the park every single time. Great business to support with high-quality desserts. Very accommodating and bring any vision to life with ease.”

“Had the best experience at Handel's in Rocky River! Staff is super kind and will go above and beyond for you. The ice cream is by far the best in Cleveland. Don’t forget to get a dogster for your pup!”

“I stopped in over the summer with my sister for lunch and we were so glad we did, food was absolutely amazing! I told my boyfriend after we have to go there, it is so good! Took him yesterday for his birthday, we are both still talking about it today. He told me he told multiple people at work about it and has been thinking about your cannolis all day and I have been too, best I've ever had. Ever single thing from cocktails to dessert to atmosphere is absolutely amazing, I, we cannot brag about you guys enough! Classy cocktail menu, the char sour and classic old fashioned are a must try. You're selection of bourbon for bourbon lovers is top notch too! Last the food, beet salad, lobster rolls, cassoulet pie are to die for 🤌 have to talk about the cannolis again, one pistachio and one chocolate chip, don't snooze on those if you go! My biggest compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back.”

“We had Mario cater our small wedding last week. He went above and beyond to make the our guests happy with his delicious food! All of our guests raved about the dinner provided for them. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Mario gave us exactly what we asked for and elevated his food with the love he has for cooking. I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤”

“A very elegant atmosphere. Our server was very attentive but not overbearing. I will probably be comparing other Italian restaurants quality to Stino's. the food was fabulous. I will come back next time I am in Cleveland.”

“Amazing, cozy, warm atmosphere. $15 beer flights of 8 beers and all are very good! Two hoppy & malty IPAs are among the best. $9 burgers every Tuesday- the Black & Bleu Burger is delicious. The bartender Kelly is friendly, knowledgeable, high energy, and fun- be nice to her and tip her well. Men’s washroom is clean and cool. Last but not least LOTS OF PARKING in their free parking lot. Highly recommend. I’ll be back! 🍻”

“They are giving Chick-fil-a a run for their money!!”

“Best pizza ever! Food is way better than “bar quality” high quality ingredients, and delicious recipes. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good layout with lots of TVs. 10/10”

“Food was as expected, good. Lemon chicken more tender than orange chicken. I ordered from a carry-out menu from earlier this year that was already outdated. Make sure you have current pricing or you will be quite surprised.”

“Warm, Friendly local establishment with fantastic staff and service!”

“I’m well aware that I can be hypercritical. When dining in the greater Lexington area, I’m often referred to as “a prick” by family and friends. But I’m not in Kansas anymore. As a connoisseur of the finer things, I immediately shut down the suggestion of ”Wine Bar” as the Michelin Man failed to namedrop this Rocky River Staple. But then I ate there and realized the Michelin Man should get out more !! Where do I begin? The sights, the smells—or perhaps I start with my wonderful server, “Santa” Hanna? To transform wine into grapes may be divine, but to have the dinner I just consumed? Redemption itself. I think my family may have a new nickname for me fairly soon…”

“Great space, friendly staff and great food.”

“Thank you so much for giving me a good door dash review today for that late order. Unfortunately it started out as 19.50 and they changed it to $6. So waste of my time but I found your gem of a place. Make sure you delete this lol!! I’ll contact DoorDash tomorrow good thing they have access to my messages with customers because I had a bunch back and forth with them. They definitely got it, they were at a wedding”

“the smoothie bowl i ordered was fantastic!! 😍 i will definitely be coming back for more”

“sliders were great, pickles on them were amazing. brisket smash burger was great. fries were fresh cut and delicious. very good selection of draft beer. good patio atmosphere with mood lighting. cool interior. laid back casual or dress up, all would fit in.”

“1st time there, great food, great service and love the atmosphere. I rate it 5 out of 5 Luchadors!”

“Excellence in food. Waitress kind, kitchen slow. Don't give away whole dinners for free just because slow kitchen. You will loss too much money. Give free appetizer or percentage.”

“Always like to go here, Has different and unusual foods from the regular food places. Also has a good selection of wines and beers. If you are looking for something different this is the place to go.”

“The White pizza was great! Also had the small garden salad, which was plenty. The place was very clean and organized.

Parking: Plenty of parking!”

“Burger, fish sandwich, salad, broccolini, and tots all shared with my wife tonight while seated at the bar. Special shout out to our barman Ray, who we're getting to know here. He's as affable and attentive as any in Rocky River. Cheers!”

“All you can eat fries with your meal the first order was hot and fresh.
The second order took forever to arrive at our table and when they did finally arrive they were cold as ice.
This could be because our server was distracted constantly by talking to her coworkers they were all just standing around either talking amongst themselves or playing on their cellphones.”

“It’s super akward when they ask you if you want to tip-at the drive through. Tipping culture is getting quite pushy. Service is also incredibly slow, no one seems to have any sense of urgency or speed. Having said that, the food is usually decent and coffee is good.”

“Adorable shops and the staff is wonderful. Their sweets look amazing but I was disappointed with the most recent case cake I got. It was beautiful but it was like 30% frosting. I was dying for more cake because it was delicious!”

“Everything!!!!! The best ❤”

“This Smoothie King location is a true gem! There are only 3 in the surrounding Cleveland area; however, the service is unmatched. The employees are always kind and cheerful. The smoothies are always exceptional and they produce a very welcoming environment.”

“First time here and definitely will return! Really charming old building, we dined outdoors. My margarita was wonderful (fresh lime juice in there) and the food was terrific! 3 of us, we each had a cocktail and a nice big lunch. Bill was under $100. The server was personable and the food came out quickly!”

“The crew here was very energetic and very fast service”

“Great food and service here! Definitely recommend the lemon chicken pasta, the new York strip steak, the ribeye, the walleye, and their creme brulee dessert. Great atmosphere there as well.”
