“ This place has some bomb mussels, I actually never had them before trying them at Chagrin Tavern. Each dish we ordered was delicious. The view is so serene... sitting on Chagrin River you can enjoy it from the window during the colder months or the patio in the warmer months. The prices are very affordable and for the taste and portions it’s definitely worth trying. Now I’m not from the Eastlake area so to me this place wasn’t easy to find, something like a hidden gem. I had to use my gps to locate it, but I was far from disappointed each time we visited. This place was recommended to me and I was not let down. ”
“ If you want a great time, delicious food, kind-hearted staff, a beautiful view of the lake, and some live performances (depending on day and time), then this is your place. Summer, a wonderfully pleasant and sweetheart of a hostess, greated us and brought us to a lovely table near the lake. Our waitress was an amazing woman, and everyone was enjoying themselves. ”
“ Definitely a hidden gem in Eastlake. Very great food with an awesome chef who works there. I used to work there with the chef and he was really kind and was open to teach me anything I wanted to learn about cooking. Rita also makes the best desserts and takes her time and patience with it. Great place great food. Would recommend everyone going that has never been. Or if you’ve been go again! ”
