    This was not good. The food was terrible. The drinks were even bad. The server was nice but very slow. The volume of music was also very loud. They did lower it about halfway through our meal so that was better. We will not be back.

    We had to ask the server to turn off air conditioning, it was freezing in the dining room. Special Easter dishes were put on website, avacado toast and a pizza that sounded gross is not a Special Easter treat. Disappointed

    Bright side Cleveland was a terrific experience. Our server was super friendly and attentive and offered great suggestions. We loved the vibe and the music, and they offer nice brunch options. We went at 1:45 pm on a Saturday, and we were a little surprised that brunch are the only menu options available until 5:00 pm on weekends. However, the food was amazing. We are happy we found this place and we will be back.
