Wine Loft

My first experience at the Wine Loft was a good one.  I was stopping in after a wedding to see some friends.  It was around 11 on a Saturday night and not too crowded.  I knew I would like the place when the sign on the door said to pick a seat wherever it looked comfortable.  The high tables, couches, and bar area were all very modern and clean looking. 

The menu was full of different wine selections of course but also had some good sounding food as well. One of my friends ordered the potato skins with goat cheese which had an interesting gourmet taste.

The wait staff was very quick with refilling drinks and closing customers’ tabs but managed to do it in a non conspicuous way.   I definitely want to go back to enjoy the relaxing environment and try out their dinner menu.

Every trip to Pasha Grill feels like a an overseas destination.  With curtains and stucco walls, the Turkish décor and wait staff make you question if you’re still in Ohio. 

Speaking of wait staff, recently we took advantage of a restaurant week deal and had a coupon.  With tax, our bill barely made it over the coupon threshold and yet the server still honored it without a hassle. (Definately Impressive and a breath of fresh air!)  He was very friendly and personable and was great about making recommendations.  Our glasses stayed full and our food came out in a timely manner at a good temperature.  

The food is packed with flavor. The lunch deal includes a great variety of items (appetizer, lunch portion entre, and dessert) at a great price.  Dinner is a little more expensive but a generous serving.

I've tried the bread, rice pilaf, roasted veggies, Shepherd's salad, lentil soup, apple tea, kabobs, almond pudding, lamb saute, kebabs with yogurt and all of it has tasted wonderful.  

If you're feeling a little adventurous you should definately check it out!

That Crepe Place

A good stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner, That Crepe Place has a menu full of good selections.  So much so you may have trouble decided on just one to order.  However you probably don’t want to order more than one for yourself since the portion sizes are large and very filling. 

I’ve tried the Mediterranean which consisted of Chicken Breast, Feta Cheese, Sweet Roasted Red Peppers, Fresh Baby Spinach, with Balsamic Glaze and the Nutella and Fruit Crepe which was full of Creamy Hazelnut Chocolate spread with choice of Bananas and Strawberries.  Both were very delicious!!

There’s not a whole lot of seating: 3 or 4 high round tables and chairs and a few tables and chairs outside.  But the decor is very fresh and clean.

It was kind of neat to watch the crepe creation process.  I overheard the owner say that he’d like to eventually franchise the concept which I could see taking off with the unique concept.
