My Husband and I travel quite a bit and we just had landed in Cleveland to visit some friends. They took us to this little Bistro for Dinner before a play..

I have dined at the best in New York, Chicago and L.A. and by far this was the best meal of the year for me. We all stated with the Greek Platter , creative yet good……..and my husband and i tried the Greek Surf & Turf , what a creative dish. I was full but not stuffed what a great little place you have there.
