Heart of Gold

This was my favorite brunch restaurant until Saturday, April 15, 2023

I came in for brunch at 11:35 am. I told them I needed a table for three. I sat at a table and read a book because my friends told me they would be 15 minutes late. At 11:45 am, the lady who takes orders at the register came to my table and said

“Excuse me, sir, but do you plan on spending any money at this establishment?

I replied, “Yes, I’m just waiting on my friends, who should be walking in at any minute.

She said, “Do you want to buy a coffee or something at least because we are about to get busy and we will need all our seats here? “

I said, “Yeah, I come here a lot, but I’ll just come and order my food.”

As soon as I get up, my friends walk through the door. We ordered and enjoyed our food.

I want to note that most customers sat outside, so inside never got busy to where there was no seating.

She made me extremely uncomfortable. After eating, I thought are we sitting here too long?

I actually understand where she was coming from, but I think she jumped the gun. She should have waited a bit longer. Waiting on a friend for 10 to 15 minutes isn’t enough to determine if someone is sitting around. Maybe she thought I was homeless.

I used to talk this place up so much that I will no longer recommend this place, and as a top Google reviewer, I will take this off my list of too brunch places in Cleveland. I liked this place, the food was gold but nonetheless I’ll never visit again.

6/2020 Oh my goodness. We randomly stumbled upon this place. It’s a short walk away from 25th street. The busyness died down a little, so I expected this place not to be great, but when we walked in, we instantly saw how beautiful it was with a gorgeous patio.

It was uniquely different, and I thought it was awesome. The food and drinks are different than the other places that serve brunch. This is probably the best brunch meal I’ve ever had. The food was so delicious. I was upset it was gone. I wanted to order it again. They had drinks I’d never heard of, creating a sense of adventure.

I 100 percent recommend Heart of Gold. It’ll be great for a date or to take a group of friends.

I enjoyed it.
