Greater Cleveland might not be home to spectacular landscapes such as those found in deserts or mountains, but locals are treated to some downright mesmerizing features. Babbling brooks, quietly tumbling knolls and bluffs, wetlands, and fields are simply bursting with inhabitants, and their scenic features change with the seasons. We know that these lovely places are filled with native wildlife, but seldom do we ever find the opportunity to come face-to-face with it in a serene and non-disruptive way. However, one local restaurant has redefined the dining experience by infusing meals with stunning views that will have you feeling like you’re dining in one of Northeast Ohio’s loveliest forests.
Imagine dining in a world where you're surrounded by serenity and the most enchanting critters.
Locals latched onto the concept of this charming West Side restaurant almost as soon as it opened its doors, gathering a patron list that, over the years, has included some of Greater Cleveland's most prominent residents.

The restaurant opened its doors in the midst of Prohibition, and it unashamedly indulged in the forbidden pleasures of the era.
The booze, rumors tell, was always flowing. It was ferried in nightly, exposing visitors to some of the finest spirits of the era despite local and national laws outlawing its sale. On-site gambling also likely took place, but such a fiasco is now a mere memory in this business' long history.
Today, that same Prohibition-era mystique lingers over the restaurant, delighting visitors with the atmospheric comforts of a bygone time.
The view changes season by season, as you may guess, and each weather pattern seems to offer an entirely new scene to delight diners and staff members.
Not only is their ambiance nothing short of magical, but their menu is simply to die for.
With unique appetizers like Apple Onion Soup Gratinee and Escargots Bourguignonne as well as familiar entrees like salads, chicken, beef, and seafood, dinner services are always unforgettable.
