My advice to the chef: rework the menu. Consider that some of the current pairings do not work well together. My dinner was essentially inedilble due to fighting flavors. I tasted another dinner and found it lackluster. I do know that one member of our party loved her scallops and said she ranked them in the top 2 of all the times she had been served scallops. But that isn't enough to build an entree menu.The service is friendly but again, lackluster and inattentive. I asked for a substitution with my order and received both on my plate. (I admit, I forgot to see whether or not there was a charge.) The desserts were average. Again, attention to detail in flavor pairings would be helpful. One dessert, the souffle stood out as being excellent. The location is pleasant and there is parking in the rear although we did find street parking across the street. Sensitivity to the customer would be nice. The sun shone way too brightly and eventually, one member of our party, closed the drapes which did prompt an appearance of our waiter. But it had been obvious that we were uncomfortable for awhile and staff should have come to our assistance.I won't be returning unless there are serious adjustments to the menu despite liking the physical site.Please understand, one member of our party was my daughter who has spent time in Paris on a few occasions, having lived in Europe at one point. She couldn't identify anything particularly French about the menu nor in the preparation.

My husband and I were thrilled to find this wonderful Hungarian restaurant during our visit to Cleveland. My heritage is Hungarian and I have memories of growing up eating wonderful Hungarian cuisine cooked lovingly by my mother. Eating at Balaton was really a treat. When we entered the restaurant we felt like we were in Hungary as the decor was done in a Hungarian motif. We were greeted by Louis, the owner who showed us to our table. We then met his nieces who are the extraordinary chefs at this fine restaurant. The goulash soup was delicious. That was followed by potato pancakes which were absolutely fabulous. My husband had the liver paprikash and I had the chicken paprikash. Each dish was beyond wonderful and brought back memories of my childhood. Service was excellent and we felt like we were dining with family. Our only regret is that this restaurant is in Cleveland and we live in New Jersey. While there, I even got to practice my very limited Hungarian with Louis. If you are ever in the Cleveland area, whether or not you are Hungarian, treat yourself to a wonderful dining experience and eat at Balaton. You will not be disappointed.

Microbrewery with a nice tap selection on a very long bar. It is also a restaurant in a nice airy room with very good traditional German food. Attached next door is a small delicatessen with a great selection of imported German and other European specialties. Short walk from the West Side Market.

I had the artichoke and arugula salad and loved them both. My other 7 companions had various dishes and each loved their dinners. We ate in the private wine room which was cozy. Our service was excellent. The outdoor patio is where we shared drinks and appetizers. Wow, what a place to sit outside! The olives, pizza and cheeses were perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant.

A couple from Cleveland whom we met at a winery near Erie PA recommended this place. It is fantastic. The food from Pierogis, Veiner Schnitzel, to Stuffed Cabbage was terrific. The portions are huge. This is a cafeteria style service, but someone carried our trays to a table for us. The hours are limited and the lines long. This is where the locals eat. If you are anywhere near Cleveland this is a must stop.

Four of us went for dinner and were extremely pleased. The four different entrees were all good. Veal and pork schnitzel, chicken paprikash and a combo plate. We all agreed this was a place we would enjoy again and would recommend. They had a pumpkin brûlée and it was good as well.

Food was absolutely phenomenal and hands down the best burger I've ever had. Wife had grouper which was cooked to perfection and delicious. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was beautiful. The icing on the cake, however, was the owner, Brandon, checking on all the guests at the valet and since the workers were busy he went and got our car for us. He was helping with everything inside the restaurant throughout the night too and this is a perfect example of leading by example. Fantastic dining experience and would highly recommend.
