Reviews of Sara's Place By Gavi's Restaurant (Night Club)

walter waetjen

Always a very pleasant experience. I only wish they you had enough steamed mussels to accommodate a later dining crowd... That's the 2nd time that we have Gone to Sarah's and they are out of a wonderful steamed mussel appetizer.... Still the food and the service was spectacular

Christine Cowan-Gascoigne

Always enjoy Sara's Places. Good food and great service!

JJ Souther

Small place. Looks like mostly locals. Food is good, nicely creative menu. I ordered the chicken piccata with lemon sauce and capers. It was not as flavorful as I would have expected. Almost bland. I had to put black pepper on it. I'll try something different next time I go.

Tricia Scott

This is our place for a special event. We loved Gavi's, but since they closed, this is our place for Birthdays and our Anniversary. Caramelle has always been my favorite, but I have been branching out to try other entrees and have never been disappointed. Love it and can't wait to get there again! Owners are both so nice and you always see them, it's nice to feel the personal touch they offer.

George Brown

Impeccable service. Great food fairly priced. A tad too loud

Tina Joyce

Always a great place to be. Staff is awesome, food is amazing.

Ashley Seme

I am here right now having a delicious dinner with my family. My son gets the lasagna every time we come. Highly reccomended!

Andrew Yarger

Charming, adorable, and cozy with excellent service and reasonably priced.

Scot Shermer

Outstanding value during happy hour. Great service. Fantastic food. Excellent atmosphere.

CAROL WEBSTER

Very attractive . Two floors . Upstairs has a Tavern feel with bar and Fireplace. Downstairs is brighter with windows out looking Gates Mills charm.

Wendy Marks

It is very charming. Nice portions for the price. Lunch was a very good time for a moderate crowd. Wait staff is very helpful and respectful of our time. I would recommend The Pot Pie. Casual dress, but no tennis shoes. I enjoyed my visit with a very special lady without feeling I was being rushed for the table.

CECILIA AGOSTINE

Amy Peet

Russell Brower

Patricia Miller

One of my favorite places. Food, ambiance and service great!

Shelley Kronick

Half of our group of 6 didn't like their salmon or the overcooked walleye. I had the white bean soup, VERY thick with the beans. Also had the meatball appetizer which was good. Seating is too tight in the dining room. Don't really recommend.

KrookedOrchids

Very nice staff fun time with my family! Tim is great

C. Peter Cimoroni

Love the food...atmosphere and excellent service.

Michael Miller

Nestled and tucked away in the Hunting Valley/Gates Mills area, I stopped by for tea and dessert in the lounge upstairs. So this is my review of the lounge. Nice, homey, cozy, intimate. Quaint. Really dim lighting. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating. Wasn't that busy. Kind of like being in neighbor's living room with a bar. The reason for the just ok 3 stars is that I wasn't that impressed with the menu or the food. Mostly, instead of some nice music for ambiance, there was a TV on loud at the bar. Politics for one or two patrons. Risky move today. We decided to leave. Don't want to get into it. This place has been running long enough to be sensitive to the mood. Your mileage may vary. If you find yourself in the position of the loud TV, I'm sure you can ask to turn it down. I can imagine it being a nice yet informal place to meet, otherwise. Decide if you want a lounge or a bar. Can't have both.

Shawn Cooper

Always great food and great service

Mark Bors

Awesome.

Mark Mendes

A true gem. Food and service are both superb. Decor is simple yet elegant, but in no way stuffy. Menu very broad. Upstairs lounge is a real treat. Clientele is predominantly local, which in this neck of the woods means decidedly upscale.

Zack T

Fabulous restaurant with phenomenal service. The waitress was wonderful to be around and did really well with small talk. The family and I appreciated that. Lots of options to choose from. They offer take out for anyone who cannot stay. Sara’s Place is a must for anyone who loves food.

Lauren Alessandro

Great food and staff

Michael Welch

The food was nice. Accommodating on changes, and service was well done

Adair Arko

My husband and I come here. Usually it's to bring work colleagues from out of town. The atmosphere is lovely and cozy. The strange thing about this place is the variety of food options on the menu. Usually that means the food will be mediocre but not here. The food here is EXCELLENT. Seriously. And since they have such a wide variety it makes it worth coming back again and again. Also a great wine list.

JayMichael Neill

Nice place for a quiet, healthy lunch.

Dave

Fun night Cosy dining friendly staff

Richard Kondas

Very comfortable setting with prompt efficient service, great wine & food choices (excellent cabbage rolls and baked eggplant) and an excellent setting to enjoy friends!!

Bob Henderson

This might be the best restaurant in Northeast Ohio. Excellent food and the most professional service in the area. I would give Sara's a higher rating if Google would allow. We held a birthday party and the room was perfect. Access to the beautiful patio and the attention of their best server. My only regret is that I cannot recall her name. Book your reservation now. You will not be disappointed!

Steve Jerome

Always a good meal.

Kassandra Spates

Love this place! Great food, great options--Vegan n Gluten free too!!!

This place is a true gem. I have not ordered something I have not enjoyed.

Lori Decker

Dan T

Service Great Food is always fantastic

Chuck

Awesome

William Gold

Sigh. Used to love this place. It has become good, not great. The food is okay, but dishes like their beans and greens that used to be amazing are now a bit pedestrian. And the menu has not evolved much in the past 5 years. Still love the staff and location.

Samuel Morgante

Very good food and servers were very professional. great atmosphere

Fahad yousef al-refai

I came for the melaniase, Wow, the best veal I ever had in the Northeast Ohio area, highly recommended, the staff was amazing on their recommendations and service. My family and I had the most exciting meals and flavors. I wish we knew about Sara's Place earlier.

paula goddard

There were four of us for dinner on a Tuesday. The restaurant was at full compacity, and it took a while before the food was served. The food was very good, we had a nice waitress, but a bit pricey.

Mike Allen

Service was excellent and so was the food.

Lynne Muzik

Excellent menu and service.

Raylon Givens

Had a chance to taste their food and wines, and everything was excellent. Our host/waitress Sue was awesome, and made the experience great. We will definitely be back, and recommend to all.

Cda Chrissy

The noise level upstairs was unacceptable. We couldn't hear our conversation. Salad was fresh but mac and cheese was undercooked and chewy. For the price, I would expect better.

Patrick Fleming II

Great place for a quick bite to eat or a full dining experience. Late night desert menu and drinks.

Steve Alfred

While our experience may have been an aberration, our weeknight dinner a week before Christmas was so noisy that we could barely hear the other couple with us or the waitress. While the food was certainly good, a restaurant evening is as much about conversation as food. In this regard, they failed miserably. It will be a long time, if ever, that I go back to this restaurant.

Lorrie Rung

Fabulous

April Siegel-Green

Beautiful and eclectic ambience with some of the most amazing cuisine. Their pasta Bolognese and Mac and Cheese are simply fantastic. Love the scenery and the service is super!!!

Ellen Forbus

Always fabulous! Food is excellent and servers are efficient and polite. Quaint atmosphere. Easy to access from street. Upstairs is an adorable pub.

Cristina Hasigan

While strolling through the village of Gates Mills, Ohio we discovered a jewel ...charming family owned restaurant and bar with a rich variety of dishes, fresh seafood and hand cut steaks, great service and a sweet surprise...Cleveland’s own Mitchell’s Homemade Ice Cream.

En Johnson

Very good stuffed cabbage.

Qamar Khan

Good place for dinner.

Jan Kriwinsky

Always very good food and service and friendly

Jeremy Hylen

Food was great

Rob Stanziale

Very good food.

Robert Bell

Food OK. Service attentive but too fast. At these prices extra time should be given to patrons to eat and digest.

David Spotts

This is one of my favorite east-side locations in the city. Tucked away in the hills and very elegant. I have appreciated this location for over a decade.

Mike Andrews

A charming restaurant nestled in Chagrin Falls. A perfect atmosphere, creative entrees & appy's. Dining in the lounge is our favorite. Especially if our waiter, Al, is on duty.

Katie Grabner

We LOVE Sara's Place and we eat there almost every week. Monday's are especially our favorite night to dine in with family. The staff is excellent and the food is always delicious. There is something for everyone on this menu. It's also a great place to grab take out if you're busy.

Raymond Shipley

Lori Blum

Vladimir Shulepin

Great work environment

Jason Kolenc

OrganizedI was there for a celebration staff great job food delicious very nicely

Sebestian Segro

A anniversary dinner with a couple of Manhattans, Greens and beans appetizer. Rack of lamb and Chicken Milanese and a complimentary canolie. WoW. First time their. Five star if a little quieter but it was the lounge. It would be nice if other guests didn't use their cell phones.....

Angela M Barbati

Friendly happy hour reminiscent of “Cheers”

Eileen Levine-Soeder

Very, very nice! We sat on the patio and it was delightful. Service was great and food delicious.

Chad Atzemis

Northeast Ohio's hidden gem. One of the best restaurants in the region. A great menu, a great staff, great ambiance, and the upstairs bar is the perfect place for a nightcap or a relaxing conversation. The menu is great, but the specials are always a sure thing. A solid wine list and great healthy Vegan / veg options make it one of my favorites.

bill repke

The food is so scrumptious and reasonable for what it is just think of lunch as dinner and enjoy

Kimberly Smith

Food and service we're all awesome

Marnie Paumier

Very accommodating for dietary restrictions including Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian. The normal menu is easily marked. Gluten free buns, pasta and pizza crust available.

Cat McBrien

Very good - came out hot - with nice servers. And a smile

Michael Rodriguez

Consistently good food!

Kate Pitrone

It's a charming place to eat. The food can be really good.

Thomas Reed

One of the most enjoyable evenings we have had in quite some time. The food is excellent. We had three very different entrees, pasta, veal and halibut - all were superior. The mussel appetiser was the best any of us had ever had and we all well traveled. Best mussels in Ohio, yep! It's the sauce. Priscilla, our server made the experience even more enjoyable. Informed, relaxed yet prompt, and a joy to talk to. The ambiance was perfect given the quaint springlike setting. Although we dined inside, it would have also been the perfect out on the patio. I wouldn't recommend stopping upstairs at the bar for a drink first. The drinks are excellent, but the hustle was a tad disconcerting. Not enough to take off a star from the wonderful experience we had with our special out of town guests.

Brian Huntley

Reasonably priced, good service, tasty food, great appetizers...beautiful drive to get there.

Dan Schneider

We all loved our meal!

Thom Toth

Wonderful and Romantic

D.J. Brown

The food is top quality, so it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. I've always found their spicy dishes to be particularly good, though. The decor is pleasant and has a very airy feel. The location is really beautiful, being located in a well forested area. My only gripe is that it's located pretty far from anything else, making it difficult to go on a regular basis.

Brandon Vero

Nice all around.

Tim Reynolds

Wonderful food, great service. Has a local pub feel.

paul hach

Awesome place.. great food and service

Joel Pomales

Pricey, but fantastic. Bring a date.

Tim Sisson

Amby J

Love this place. The food was delicious. The portions were great and the staff was amazing

John Nowosielski

Very attentive, friendly, good food, plenty of parking. Meal proved at seminar, so I can't speak to pricing.

Tim Shell

Really great food. Wonderful atmosphere. We arrived early and got a table outside. The dinner was delicious. I had the pork chop and it was fabulous.

Sally Zalben

Fabulous dinner, lovely atmosphere and superb service.

Janis Mohat

Quant restaurant, excellent food.

Lyudmila Shvartsman

Great place

Brian Parsons

We had a delicious meal at Sara's Place. We recommend it to others and will plan to return.

Jay Schonfeld

Food was good(burger). We sat upstairs in the bar. It was so dark at 6;30 that most of the people had to use their cell phone flashlight to read the menu I would think that the owner would get the hint that they should increase the lights. By the time we left at 8:30 it was so loud that we couldn't wait to get out of there. Been there before and this was the worst experience. Or

Marge Blackburn

Great food & service. Beautiful outdoor atmosphere on patio...

THOMAS STEWART

Very nice good chicken piccata

Dennis Gerrity

Superb food. Friendly, courteous, service.
