LOCKKEEPERS REVIEWS

Visited here back in October and this month with my family. Food is delicious, we have tried all the desserts and heavily recommend the Budino. We shared the meatballs and calamari together. Recently, I had the specials of the endive salad and duck. Service has been very accommodating when issues arise, and very kind, professional, and informative. Atmosphere is formal, and air quality was in a good range <1000. I noted the chairs have arms which is not as accessible for larger people. I'll expect we'll be back for other family gatherings.

All around excellent experience. Great atmosphere and the food and drinks matched the intended ambiance perfectly. Pork chop was ridiculously delicious. Well worth meeting up with friends or for a date night.

Always a great experience at LockKeepers!! The service, drinks and food always exceed expectations! I had the Pock Chop Saltimbocca, Cherry Old Fashion and the milk chocolate budino. My wife had the Filet, Italicus spritz and the Creme Brulee. We can't wait to go back again and again.

MIA BELLA RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Oh my god Mia Bella is amazing! My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate valentine’s day and it was the perfect place. We ordered the Spicy Calamari for our appetizer and it was truly phenomenal we had never eaten calamari so good in our lives and we’re calamari enthusiasts! For our main course we ordered the cheese tortellini and the lobster ravioli and oh. My god. Whatever the chefs are doing they need to keep it up. Service was a 10/10 as well. They really have a high quality servers and food. We’ll be back for sure.

My husband and I had Yassine as our server and he provided us with the best Mia Bella experience we’ve ever had. He was attentive, extremely personable and quick. The food was also incredible and we feel that the quality has increased since we visited earlier this year. Overall fantastic experience.

The spicy seafood soup was amazing! So much flavor. Chicken on top of the Alfredo was soooo good. The sauce is so creamy. Delicious meal here! Loved it.

CASA LA LUNA REVIEWS

We had lots of fun at Casa La Luna. We celebrated an occasion and it was very romantic. The atmosphere was just perfect and staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had very interesting conversation with the waiter, he was just lovely. The food was very nice and they provided us with a desert on the house due to our celebration.

I picked this place to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and let me tell you very well worth it.! The food was amazingly delicious.! The service was excellent and I loved the dimming of the lights.! Everything was perfect.! Definitely coming back.

For our last night in Cleveland, we wanted to go to a nice restaurant with excellent food. This place did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was exceptional. It was extremely busy and the service/wait staff was still attentive.
