Lunch-NO WAY; Dinner-OK

by Jillyeater1 at Citysearch

I have been a frequent diner at this restaurant since it opened and can honestly say that I have NEVER had a bad meal. Although I agree with other reviewers that the menu seems limited-whatever I finally decide on does not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful but I get annoyed that the staff doesn't wear name tags-I don't always remember the name and enjoy addressing and thanking someone by name.

Here's what I have to say-AVOID lunch! I cannot for the life of me figure out why this place can't seem to get a handle on lunch. The service is absolutely dismal at lunch even when the restaurant is empty-there always seems to be more employees than patrons. At best I can't get my water filled or at worst I'm waiting 2 hours for my meal (no exaggeration)!

On a positive note, dinner is 180 degrees the other way. food, service, atmosphere etc is ALWAYS top notch. The drink prices are high but they do serve Top shelf which is a plus. I don't care for the Lobster Nachos but the Lobster Bisque is wonderful! Any meat selection (or the scrumptious Scallops!) will please and the Bibb Wedge salad is the best!!

Lastly, the Patio they have open in the summer is without a doubt the most AMAZING option available in the Greater Cleveland area. Should stop to get a cocktail on the Patio in the summer-very enjoyable!

Hope this review helps-it's worth the trip but be prepared to spend your money!

• Pros: Decor, food, dinner staff, top notch liquor
• Cons: Price, Lunch waitstaff

Mediocrity at its best

by buckeyejy at Citysearch

Excellent service, friendly staff, decor from the mountain west that is very out of place and has little to do with the food. Food was mediocre. Steaks were very good but pretzel-crusted fish was nothing to write home about, salmon was over-done. Had lobster ravioli but the lobster was lost amongst the black beans and red/green peppers and completely over-powered by the odd addition of fresh dill which was accompanied by a pesto type sauce which would have stood well with the ravioli on it's own without the other accompaniments. Nice atmosphere but not really worth the price or the drive. Great views

• Pros: Nice view, great service and wait-staff, good steak
• Cons: specialty items, seafood, value

If you want a fun place...Blue Canyon is it!

I love Blue Canyon, it's great for drinks and appetizers at the bar, or for a full on meal in one of their dining rooms. Their Sunday Brunch is WONDERFUL! I've always had wonderful service, knowledgable and friendly staff. I would recommend reservations, esp on weekends. The dining room thins out a bit after 9PM, so it's a great spot for a later dinner and possibly more romantic meal that some might be searching for.
