May 21, 201015 yr Melt sounds so good right now, but I'm staying away. Waiting at the Steak n Shake drive thru for a turkey melt instead, which, depending on the day, might be arguably slower, lol.
May 24, 201015 yr Viking Tavern, if anyone is interested, is a quaint little hole in the wall bar with a couple flat screen tv's, booths, and a nice laid out bar. They also set out a few tables and chairs outside as well. I was just in there today after leaving the Playhouse & I hear it can get quite packed. The workers there were pretty nice too :)
June 1, 201015 yr Went to Antalya Red Square's website (in Lyndhurst) and found this: http://www.arscafe.com/ Sounds exciting!
June 2, 201015 yr I'm not surprised about that. They just weren't doing a good enough job to survive.
June 2, 201015 yr When are they closing?? I still have a gift certificate for them. Where was it reported? Thanks in advance.
June 2, 201015 yr henry's at the barn in avon has also closed... looks like I no longer have a reason to ever go to avon.
June 2, 201015 yr Not too surprised about La Boca....it just wasn't that good. Ate at L'albatross last night. Excellent!!! Service was outstanding, food is great and they make a good drink.
June 2, 201015 yr And I have two Michael Symon places I can get to without going to cultureless vaccumes thank you very much. :wink:
June 2, 201015 yr Route 6 in Lakewood ( detroit and Summit, in the old Niko's Space) apparently closed too. At least that's what the hand written sign on the door says? WTF?
June 2, 201015 yr Not too surprised about La Boca....it just wasn't that good. Ate at L'albatross last night. Excellent!!! Service was outstanding, food is great and they make a good drink. Absolutely agree re: L'albatross. I thought it was outstanding and I don't think I ever mentioned it here.

June 3, 201015 yr henry's at the barn in avon has also closed... looks like I no longer have a reason to ever go to avon. What about Nemo's?
June 3, 201015 yr Aw, La Boca is closing:( I wonder when they are closing. I have one of those restaurant.com coupons that I have been meaning to use. Any we have been there 4x. 2x excellent, one time v.good, last below average. Better use that coupon...
June 4, 201015 yr Sorry to see La Boca close. I thought the food was very good. The service was a bit hit and miss but so was the service when it was Cheddars. I suppose we just got used to that service in that spot. I hope Latitude is doing well. Last time I was in there for Sunday breakfast it was pretty crowded and the food was good. I hear Indian Delight in DS is good.
June 4, 201015 yr Latitude seems to be doing well when it is open. They have their crowds. I've been to Latitude only once (for breakfast) but I wasn't too impressed with their food. Maybe I need to give it another shot.
June 4, 201015 yr Update- La Boca is saying they are only closing for about a month to redo their menu. They want to go heavy on Tapas and wines by the glass. I hope this is true... India Delight. Went for lunch last week. Friend and I thought the buffet was a bit better at the indian place in lakewood. Tandori chicken not authentic. Goat tasty. I thought the flavors were too mild.They said the buffet was $9.99 on the phone but charged 11 .99. Check said "weekend buffet"...it was Friday. Despite all this I will still be back....if they make it. Potential is good.

One person even suggested some partnership with Marlin Kaplan for the new project.
June 4, 201015 yr Latitude seems to be doing well when it is open. They have their crowds. I've been to Latitude only once (for breakfast) but I wasn't too impressed with their food. Maybe I need to give it another shot. Yeah...its a bit of a cold weather comfort food place. Their menu is limited as far as what I would chose to eat, but what I do, its decent. The only thing I really don't like abut the place is that the floors need to be kept cleaner...and the annoying radio needs to be shut off. I asked them to turn it down and guess what? No one missed it and business went on just fine! Someone even thanked me. I hope the space next to them is filled soon. It is a great building. Anyone know anything about possibilities with it? The old Snickers place, I think. By the way, on another related note..Not really a restaurant, but the Athens bake shop on Loraine in Ohio City moved recently.... Does anyone know if these spaces are looking into being occupied? it really leaves a blank and foreboding void across from Souper Market. I wonder what the real reasons are they moved. Any information?
June 4, 201015 yr LEAP is moving into the old Athens space. They are currently down the street at 25th and church area.
June 4, 201015 yr Athen's lease was not renewed by the new owners of the building MRN so they had to move. On a side note the owners of Athen's also own a strip of land across the street that sits between two parcels MRN wants to combine for a parking lot. So far they have not been able to come to terms on a price. This info comes from last neighborhood block club meeting where MRN was trying to get the neighborhood to support their parking lot expansion plans.
June 4, 201015 yr MRN has already torn down a building that faced Lorain (formerly Grilly's Bar) and over the past week tore down another building on west 26th (formerly a baptist church). These parcels and the existing parking lot on the corner of Lorain and west 26th are planned to be combined into one huge parking lot.
June 4, 201015 yr Interesting news about MRN's parking lot. I don't want to carry on this discussion in this thread...but any news as to where Athens will move? If anyone knows, please respond here: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2492.msg488396.html#new
June 5, 201015 yr A couple of restaurant snippets to note: The old crazy Rita's space in Lakewood, this area is becoming quite the restaurant row (from Scene): Chef Demetrios Atheneos is leaving his post at Bodega to join the team at the soon-to-open Deagan's Kitchen and Bar (14810 Detroit Ave.). Dan Deagan is reworking the old Crazy Rita's space in Lakewood into a warm, upscale pub with exposed brick walls and salvaged barn siding. Chef Atheneos describes the food as "chef-driven pub fare with a twist," applying playful touches to traditional pub cuisine. Diners can look forward to things like truffle fries, Italian sausage sliders, soy chile-glazed wings, tuna tartare, as well as salads, sandwiches, and entrées. A new draft beer system will dispense 30 craft selections. Look for an early August opening. Also, Michael Simons pastry chef Cory Barrett has left town for a gig in Seattle... And Karen Small opening a market next door to Flying Fig. http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/bites/Content?oid=1922209
June 6, 201015 yr henry's at the barn in avon has also closed... looks like I no longer have a reason to ever go to avon. and you call yourself a mcclevelander?!! :whip: :wink: http://bubbasq.com/

More of those gorgeous parking lots. Wow...if the car became obsolete one day... How would we explain parking lots?
June 7, 201015 yr Also posted in the Little Italy thread, Mia Bella has it's grand opening this FRIDAY. It's located in the old Corbo's Bakery storefront in Little Italy.

June 10, 201015 yr Downtown's losing a good restaurant, but Marlin Kaplan will transform La Boca spot... One Walnut to close in downtown Cleveland, but chef will open a second spot near Gordon Square Wednesday, June 09, 2010, 7:01 PM Joe Crea, The Plain Dealer read more at: http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/06/post_51.html
June 10, 201015 yr Bummer about One Walnut. It has been a while since I have been there but I once had a soup there that was so good my reaction embarrased the rest of the table.
June 10, 201015 yr I saw the lights out on Sushi 86 on Ontario, and "restaurant space available" signs posted - does anyone know if they're relocating, or have they called it a day? They were in my top 3 lunch spots downtown. :-( clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
