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.

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration! The food was fantastic, the nonalcoholic drinks were tasty, and they brought out an ice cream to share with a sparkler in it in celebration of our day. It was very nice, and the service was impeccable! Thank you for a lovely evening!

The food, service, beautiful city view setting were tremendous. One of the best meals I have ever had. So glad we dined with Mr A. I especially appreciated the numerous gluten free opens. A gem.

Amazing service, very attentive. Never ending cheese bread, continually filling water. The food was amazing. Loved the filet mignon and picchana. Husband loved the lobster tail also and the papaya dessert. Will be back!!

Madi is excellent. Great coffee and breakfast. So far I’ve had the GOAT sandwich, the Surfer breakfast burrito and the brioche French Toast. Everything tastes fresh and is super tasty. I LOVE that they take reservations!!!
