my mother and i were in town to visit the cleveland clinic and looked up restaurants in the area. lockkeepers came up as one of the top rated and reviewed restaurants so we figured why not give it a try and see what all of the hype was about. it was about a 20 minute drive from the clinic and very easy to get to. it was just off the freeway. the atmosphere and interior design is amazing. its one of those restaurants that, for some reason, look bigger on the inside and takes you by surprise as to just how high end the interior design is. they have a cozy loungeareaand beautiful spacious dinningareawith a really high cathedral ceiling.
after taking my first bite of my entree, i knew exactly why they had so many positive reviews especially regarding their food. i ordered the lobster ravioli and it was out of this world. it was one of the best tasting meals i've had in a long time. the bread they brought out before our meal was soft, fresh, warm home made bread and the spread they make and serve with their bread is the best i ever had. my mother ordered there chicken and it too was delicious.
the service was super friendly and polite. they even have valet parking. they let you choose between eating in the dinningareaor the lounge. our waiter was really friendly and had a great personality.
my only complaint was that the portion size of my entree was small. it did not come with any sides either. if it had at least come with a potato, it would have made a big difference in the overall value. my mothers chicken had a better portion size and did come with mashed potatoes. however, it was the only restaurant of this kind where your soup and salad do not come with their entree's and actually cost extra.
the pricing wasn't too high for it being a higher end restaurant with very high quality of food. our meal was $48. they have a wider range of prices so it isn't hard to keep your meal under $50 for two people but you can easily spend twice that if you're not concerned with price and want to order more food or more expensive entree's.
overall, it was a great experience, the food was incredible, friendly service and staff, and we will likely visit there in the future.
