SONNETS — Restaurant in Wadsworth

What an absolutely amazing dining experience this was. Friends, I have reviewed a lot of places over the years but this one is definitely deserving of a great review.

First off, this place is located in a small peacefull town, just off the beaten path. Easy street parking up front and spaces in back. Very clean and cozy as you enter with a layout reminiscent of a relaxed coffee shop up in the front and a local pub in the back. The bar was well stocked with a good variety of your typical things as well as a great mix of whiskey, Bourbon and beers.

But let's talk about the FOOD!!! We were told this location is a collaborative effort of the coffee house up front and Zydeco Bistro in the kitchen. The chef of Zydeco is the same Executive chef that works his magic in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland at the Bourbon Street Barrel Room. If you have been there than you know its a New Orleans style food that makes your knees shake its so good. This location is no different, it was pure bliss from start to finish.

We ordered the spinach salad, AMAZING, as well as a sampler platter, Po Boy sandwich with Ocra, sampling of Jumbolia, cappuccino and out of this world bread pudding for desert. OMG, Just writing this is making my mouth water. All this was delivered with great presentation and unbelievable flavor!!!! And finally, the price. This meal was so perfect and to finish it off we paid $52 dollars. What an amazing price. You simply can not go wrong here. You REALLY need to check this place out. You will not be disappointed at all. I am planning my return...

I went in for the first time today as I live right across the street and heard great things about them.Sadly I conclude this place is a bit over-hyped.

Firstly the kitchen was poorly ventilated as steam and smoke poured out and engulfed the entire restaurant in a grease cloud. Not sure if this is a common thing, there might have just been a problem with the hoods in the kitchen but if this is normal I wouldn't want to stay too long.

The art on the walls was neat, and the vibe was pretty chill so I appreciated that.

The food was just OK, had a pastrami sandwich that wasn't all that stand-out but the coffee was fantastic, and they did have lots of different flavors.

I wouldn't mind going back for coffee in the morning but not for food, the place was decent but not as good as I thought it would be.

UPDATE Having gone back a few more times the steam from the kitchen was still spreading out each time I went, so it is the case of poor ventilation.

I have also tried several different types of coffee and have enjoyed every one of them, the Guatemalan blend is in particular very good.

Still, nothing about the place really strikes me as deserving of all the praise it gets. It's has only been a decent...
