82nd Street Grill

This evening my Dad came up to take me out for a belated Birthday dinner. I had to pick Matt up at his baseball game in North Royalton so my Aunt suggested trying the sports bar near the school. Keith found that to be a good idea so he could watch more basketball madness and I didn’t really care cause I love trying new places.

Upon arrival at the restaurant the parking lot was full and it looked rather small and run down on the outside but then upon entering I found it to be not so small and a rather nice decor. It reminded me of what I imagined a Irish Pub to look like. We got immediately seated and shortly after our waitress came to take our drink order. This would be the last time our waitress immediately did anything. We decided to order the sampler appetizer after telling our waitress we wanted to order one and away she went. Then upon delivering the appetizer to our table she said she would be back in a few minutes to check back on us not even asking if we wanted to actually order dinner or something. We told her we wanted to order and then again away she went until we had to flag her down to refill our empty drinks. The sampler was mediocre at best the best part of it was the potato skins the chicken fingers where dry and the quesadilla was tiny and almost nonexistent. When our dinners arrived my mashed potatoes where delicious but the meatloaf was not so great! It did not sit well in my stomach either! My dad got the same thing but Keith got a burger that he described as a frozen patty they heated up with cheese. His fries where little and tasteless. Matt never complains or has anything to say about food other then when he can get more so I have no opinion on his wrap. Finally after finishing our food and talking for awhile I tracked the waitress down for our check and then she disappeared again for a while before coming back to get it.

So on my Nina review scale I would give this place a 1 the food was non-impressive and the service was very poor. Which is sad cause the decor is really nice and would be a cool sports bar to hang out with friends and watch a game!
