Wonderfully warm welcome. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommend the Arancini with parmesean sauce, lobster/shrimp ravioli and the ravioli with pesto sauce. They were exceptional. The lemon cake was a dream.

Clevel is our favorite restaurant. The food is always superb. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The views are fabulous. I usually order the ahi stack which is absolutely fantastic. The ahi is fresh and the crab, avocado and mango augment both its flavor and texture. The sauce has changed from year to year (There was a time when the ahi was seared but if you requested unseared, the chef complied), but the dish remains my favorite. My other favorite is lobster mac and cheese. It is sinfully delicious, and I am one of the people who can easily devour it in one sitting. The times I haven’t (I am a slow eater) I have finished my “doggie bag” as soon as I arrived home! The rest of the menu is also superb; I have tasted most dishes. But these two are my absolute favorites.
