★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Carlson · Jan 2026

My husband and I have pretty much stopped going to restaurants because we have been terribly disappointed over and over. I'm a much better cook than most restaurants we've been to lately. Tonight's meal was different. My husband said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had in a restaurant. He had the ribeye, garlic mashed potatoes, and lobster gnocchi. I had the filet, garlic mashed potatoes, and truffle fries. Service was perfect - attentive but also left us alone. Everything was excellent!

The Western Reserve was an awesome surprise from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with that classic steakhouse feel but without being stuffy. Their booths are honestly some of the best I have sat in: roomy, comfortable, and perfect for settling in and taking your time over a meal. Our server was friendly, checked on us often, and had great timing with everything, which made the whole visit easy and enjoyable. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, and it was one of the better versions I have had. It came out hot and creamy with plenty of flavor and just the right amount of cheese, and the wood fired flatbread it was served with was perfect for dipping. It disappeared from the table fast and set the tone for the rest of the meal. The highlight of the visit was

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joshua Miller · Nov 2025

My overall experience was positive. However, the menu and food were a confusing experience. The wood fired chicken was unavailable and so was the coulotte steak. The menu lists wagyu as an option on the pizza but does not indicate which cut. The menu also lists a black opal wagyu steak but does not list the cut. That is what I ended up ordering which was a denver steak. The steak was actually phenomenal and one of the best steaks I have ever received at a restaurant. It had a nice char and butter. It was also cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was very tender. The green beans were under seasoned and the mashed potatoes were dry. My wife got a pizza with caramelized onions and basil. However, the onions were not caramelized and the pizza had parsley instead of basil. The cheese also did no

We came for lunch today and the menu for lunch was amazing and very affordable . The tacos are a must try we tried one of each beside the lobster but that’s next. We had a chicken bacon ranch taco, shrimp taco, wagyu taco, and chorizo with a side of fries and chips and salsa and an espresso martini for 40$. The drink was basically the most expensive item we had. Chips and salsa seemed to be fresh and house made and the fries also. We recommend coming here!! Love this place.
