Summer Place

What a fortunate change of plans that brought us to Summer Place for the first time for Sunday brunch. We were seated by the windows so we got to enjoy the views of frozen Lake Erie. The service was exceptional and the food was wonderfully presented, tasting even better than it looked! YUM!! I had the short rib hash and the hubby had Mickey's Big Breakfast- the steak was medium-rare as ordered. The meals were nicely priced and worth every penny! Even more inspiring is the restaurant's partnership with Awakening Angels - phenomenal food AND profits going to a truly worthy cause = WINNING!! We will definitely return to try some other menu items.

Came here for a birthday dinner celebration. Beautiful ambiance, great cocktails, and delicious food. The caviar on the deviled eggs added a unique pop of flavor, and the Gold Coast Burger was so flavorful. Our server was attentive and personable. I will definitely return!

Amazing place. The drinks and food are good too! Update: We came back for dinner and I absolutely loved the ambiance and will be back for that alone. Our appetizers, the deviled eggs and Caesar salad was really good, both very tasty. My lamb bolognese was so dry and tangy that I had to send it back. My hubby’s short rib was phenomenal and it’s a must try. We skipped dessert that time but will be sure to try it once we come back!

Everything was so fresh and DELICIOUS! I discovered Summer Place on Yelp and recommended it for brunch to our football parents after the Moeller X St Ed’s game in Cleveland. We were all very pleased. It is nicely situated on the waterfront and the scene is modern and swank. As a table, we ordered salads, a burgers, chicken and waffles, fresh juices, a bloody mary, and I ordered an omelet. We were so busy talking and taking in the scene that I totally failed to capture a photo of my food. But it was tasty! Additionally, the service was friendly, fast and efficient I both recommend and plan to visit again while in Cleveland. Cheers!

Celebrated my birthday here. Love the vibes , the service and the food. The grilled oyster is really good, short ribs is sweet and the hanger steak is savory. Deviled eggs presentation is beautiful and such a small bite very easy to eat as appetizers and the taste is not disappointing

I recently had dinner at Summer Place, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is elegant and upscale, making it a perfect spot for a special night out. I started with the deviled eggs topped with caviar, which were flavorful, refined, and beautifully presented. The beet salad was fresh and vibrant, and the lamb T-bone was the highlight of the evening—tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to perfection. On top of the amazing food, the service was excellent attentive, professional, and very welcoming. The combination of refined ambiance, delicious dishes, and great service made my visit truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fine dining experience

I can’t say enough good things about my recent dinner at Summer Place! The atmosphere is stunning with phenomenal views of Cleveland and Lake Erie, the service was amazing (Tiffany was terrific!) and the food was top notch. Truly an excellent experience and a great evening.

The atmosphere here is perfect. The views of the lake and city as well as the natural light make for a very fun and welcoming environment. You feel fancy being there without the stuffiness and awkwardness of some other upscale restaurants. The food is great as well as the drinks.

The food was fantastic and the ambiance for the holidays was out of this world. To top it all off the restaurant supports an unbelievable cause. If you are in the Cleveland area this is a must stop all year round.

New menu was great! We tried the tuna and bone marrow for appetizers and both were delicious. The holiday lights are amazing, and the cozy interior décor really sets the holiday spirit. I also have to mention that our server was very attentive, and all of our courses came out quickly. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Great food. Amazing service. Beautiful restaurant. I love how this place is in honor of Mikey and there are photos and paintings of him all around the restaurant. So sweet. We came for brunch on our way back home from a weekend trip. I had the lobster toast and it was amazing. We also ordered the Deviled Eggs and Cinnamon Roll. ‍

The brunch at summer place is very good, but also very overpriced. All of the food was delicious except for the chicken. I added the chicken onto the cinnamon roll, and it was unfortunately very disappointing for the price. The chicken was dry and bland. The drinks were good, but also very overpriced. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous. The service was fine.

Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food. Came here with colleagues and we were not disappointed. I tasted a bunch of different items in the menu and they did not disappoint. Definitely recommend !

Great experience at summer place! The staff was above and beyond friendly. Even in the winter, the views of Lake Erie are great. The clothesline bacon shareable is a must-have! I also love how they partner with Awakening Angels. Will most definitely be back to try the short rib hash!

My boyfriend & I went here for my birthday dinner! I made a reservation and requested to be sat by the window to see the sunset. They followed through - It was beautiful in the dining room and the perfect view for our meal!!! For drinks, we got the Strawberry Thyme Lemonade summer cocktail and a Moscow Mule. They were both delicious. For an appetizer, we couldn't decide between the lamb meatballs or whipped feta dip. We decided on the Whipped Feta with pita chips and we added on the assorted vegetables with an extra charge! We ate all of it - it was great! For entrees, I got the 8oz. Filet Mignon cooked medium and my boyfriend got the 14oz. New York Strip cooked medium rare. My filet was cooked to perfection and was probably the best filet I have had in awhile. We split the sides of garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus to go with our steaks. I am only giving this review 4 stars due to the New York Strip being cooked about medium well when we cut into it (requested to be medium rare). We didn't say anything as he enjoyed it regardless. But curious if this would happen again. A nice surprise was a birthday gelato with a lit candle! Overall, I highly recommend this place for a date night, celebration, or a nice dinner out with friends. I will be coming back!

I was here for a baby shower over the weekend and the atmosphere is amazing. The food was delicious even though it was a buffet style for the baby shower. This wasn't my first time here and just really love the service and vibes. Such a cute place with a great view. Parking lot is small since it's a hidden gem in the back of a building but there is parking spots on the side of the building also.

Excellent dirty martini. This is my second visit and the pasta was nothing special. The sorbet was good.

Deceptive marketing practices. Restaurant canceled our NYE reservation 3 days prior to the booking stating that they have a fix menu for NYE. Still able to make standard reservation with standard menu, but nut honored by the restaurant. Disappointing marketing and customer service. Left a party of 12 scrambling to find a NYE venue.

Came here for my friends birthday this time and it was, again, delicious! We got a pizza and burger to share!! The short bread pizza was so yummy!! You kind of get a steak for cheaper in my eyes... right? either way it was good and the entire pizza was gone!! The burger was the perfect counter part!! Cooked perfectly as we asked and the fries were so crispy...(the best way to eat fries!!!) We even got a cheese cake to celebrate our friend's birthday!!! And we of course... all got espresso martinis!!! Delicious and gave us more energy to keep yapping all night!! Thank you summer place for another great birthday celebration!!

Had a wonderful girls night at Summer Place! My sister and our friend had been here before but it was my first time. It was so cute inside. We went at happy hour and the drinks were delicious. We got three appetizers to share between us which was just enough food. But I have to give a special shout out to the Brussel sprouts! Can't say I'm not a fan of them but Summer Place's Brussels sprouts made me a believer that they're delicious. The service was wonderful. We were checked on often but didn't feel like they were rushing us. A wonderful girls time was had, and the view from Summer Place wasn't half bad either.

We ordered take out since it's convenient for us due to living so close. The burger is always worth it. With that being said we always like to order something "new" to try. This time we ordered the whipped feta. It was good but the amount of feta they provided vs the pita, well we need more pita. Would not get the whipped feta again. It was busy when we arrived but they were ready to help us and the food was already done even though they said 20 mins.

Been here a handful of times- service this time was below average. Our server was stone cold with no personality. Waited 45 minutes between ordering and getting our food. 20+ minutes between our plates being cleared and getting the bill. Food was good though! Love the atmosphere.

A very beautiful location and good service but the brunch food was a bit mid, imo. I got the oysters to split with others and the big breakfast (with steak and eggs). The main issue I had was that the steak was kind of tough and that was the main star of the meal. The eggs were fine ( though a friend got scrambled and did not like it) and so were the hash browns. I needed to add some salt to the food in general. I did get to try someone else's chicken and waffles which was good though.

Fantastic service and fantastic food with amazing lakefront views as usual! Delicious pear martini. Amazing apps that are unique ranging from the clothes hanger bacon to long form cornbread and feta dip.

A nice restaurant in Cleveland by the water, it makes you feel like you are dining in Southern California. Great summer ambiance, with the bright lighting and boho vibes. The food was solid. I got a veggie omelette and my friend got a benedict. Good portions, as I was having a difficult time finishing my omelette. Of course, recommend the clothesline bacon.

I love the Lakeview location but it is just overpriced. Food is very good, but overpriced. Drinks are tasty but overpriced. Service was great, not overpriced. Theme is cool but... wait for it, overpriced.

Wonderful location on Lake Erie, very well appointed, great ambiance. Service here was very attentive with great suggestions. The food and drinks were amazing. Definitely a good date night location. A little hard to find but a gem!

So glad I went here, it has beautiful views of the lake and a beautiful indoor. Great wrap around bar. AMAZING FOOD BEST CORNBREAD I HAVE EVER HAD. Great service. I have ZERO negative things to say about this place!!!

This place is definitely a feel good spot! Why you ask? Well first and foremost the owners have turned this restaurant into a memory of their late family member who had down syndrome (DS), all the proceeds go fully to a DS nonprofit in Cleveland. To top that off, the ambiance is 10/10, you fan dine or brunch right by the lake in a beautiful well lit space, or if you're a group of 10-12, you can reserve their cozy private room (with a small fireplace). So, what are you waiting for?

This restaurant offers beautiful views of Edgewater. Really is lovey. Honestly this place is good for drinks. The food was a disappointment. Had to send my plate back. I would definitely revisit to share drinks and a good time with my friends.

In night in Cleveland for one night - wanted a place on the water and found Summer Place! Sat at the bar, great service! Fast, attentive and super friendly! The vibe is upscale casual with upscale touches! We had the airline chicken and the Strip steak....the creamed corn was different and delicious! We enjoyed everything!

I cannot recommend this restaurant more! The service was amazing and the food was AMAZING, even better the drinks!! My grandma and I are visiting family and we're in from California and this is the best restaurant I've been to. The message and goals are even better. All profits go to families who have the blessing of children with Autism and Down Syndrome and it's so refreshing that there is a place that focuses on giving back!

Fabulous place to dine! Food, service, and ambience top-notch !!! The views of the lake and the city are the best in town! Love it here

I came here Saturday for my friend's bday brunch. I will say we waited almost 30 minutes for a 1pm reservation, but the overall experience and food made up for it. I ordered the breakfast burger and it was tasty. But the star of the show was the cinnamon roll! Delicious. Also a great espresso martini. And comfortable seating!

The Summer Place is magical. Feeling of peace and tranquility! From the very first step into this Devine lakefront location to the exit out to the free parking, what a special experience! Highly recommend this for Lovers! Celebrate anniversarys, and birthdays! Perfection!!

Sat at the bar for a glass of wine to end my night and was not impressed with the wine list. Most of the wines by the glass are not good and are overpriced. Personally Justin cabernet is the best choice for a glass of red which is what I ordered. Unfortunately my glass of red was accompanied by a group of fruit flies throughout my time at the bar which was not pleasant. Service could also improve as my water was left empty for the majority of my time and our bartender was very difficult to find and flag down. For the price this place charges for their food and drinks I would expect higher quality and more attentive service.

My husband made a reservation for 6:15pm on a Friday. It was busy so glad we did. Very nice inside. Server was very friendly. They had a few Mocktails on the menu that were good. Nice wine selection. We shared the Fattoush salad that was very light and tasty. My husband got the Lamb Bolognese and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Sauce was good, you could taste the red wine and bay leaf, very traditional. I got the lamb meatballs and side of mashed potatoes (pregnant and all over the place when it comes to what I'm in the mood for lol). Both were great. Nice date night spot.

We had a fantastic brunch celebration for Mother's Day. Our server was friendly. The meals were prompt and the drinks were tasty. The views throughout the restaurant make the experience. Definitely give this one a try.

We came here from a different restaurant because we were disappointed in the food there. My mom wanted a place overlooking the water and to drink some wine so we came here and sat at the bar. Anna was our bartender and she was great! Very friendly and on top of it. This place has amazing east coast oysters and they had the sambuca with the three beans that my mom loves. I overheard a couple talk about how good their steak was so I know we have to come back to try it. This place also partners with Awakening Angels who has done so much for those with Down syndrome and developmental disabilities. They truly care for others and coming here helps Awakening Angels. I very much recommend this place! 10/10

Every year I take my wife and daughters and the whole family to brunch for mothers day. Well we have been going to Pier W for the last 10 years . I booked summer place this year cause our family has grown . What a great experience , so much room for children , and adults very spacious . The food was out of this world amazing , there was absolutely no waiting in line for two or three separate areas to choose you meal . I be already booked Saturday night because I cannot imagine how delicious dinner will taste . And then we met the owner and he said all of the profits from this high end Dubai style restaurant actually go to his late son Mikey's charity. I could go on but I highly recommend Summer Place for brunch , or Dinner. Service was beyond our highest expectations. Thank you to all the staff as well , I felt like 12 people waited on us !

Our favorite local restaurant. Can't beat the amazing city of Cleveland waterline view. But mostly the staff, attention and incredibly delicious food!!!! Could be at any resort in the world and we have a Gem in our backyard of Cleveland Ohio Love Summer Place!!!

very disappointed that even though it was a tax free week in Ohio, the owner, Tony George, trumped up a tax for "high food costs" and also charged me a transaction fee even when I paid cash. The waiter said that fee was for my pineapple juice because it was a specialty drink....really???? Then the waiter did not return my change. THAT IS ILLEGAL. VERY sad for me and my party. We will not return even though the food was good.

Beautiful location and restaurant. The cocktails were made very nicely and well balanced. We had an early reservation. I hadn't realized the dining room and kitchen closed between brunch and dinner. So something to consider when planning your visit. The filet which my husband ordered was cooked to his liking. The fish of the day was pleasant, but a bit on the dry side. I wish there was a saucy buttery-ness to it. The lamb meatballs were 100% delicious.

My wife and I got a window table with a lake view at the Summer Place. It was a good start to an OK meal. Service was good and we had a round of drinks to begin. We ordered the beet salad and the wedge salad. Both were tasty. My wife ordered the Airplane Chicken and I had the short rib pizza. Her chicken was good and was accompanied by creamed corn. The pizza looked good (much like a fake pizza in a staged dining room) but it had nothing that tasted good. If I ever go back, I'd avoid this pizza. Did I mention that the Summer Place is quite expensive?

First time coming to Summer Place, and I was not disappointed. The ambiance is absolutely breath taking and welcomes you with the best veiw of the Cleveland I have ever seen. The food was really out of this world. Completely complimented the entire visit. Especially enjoyed the cornbread and tea butter. Our server Maggie, was very attentive, and explained the specials very well. Explained the drink options that were best to pair with our food options abs even suggested some ideas not on the menu. The entire restaurant was glowing, it's excellence in service from every corner. I will happily return.

Not worth it. Their brunch is equivalent of a Hampton Inn complimentary breakfast buffet. Terrible service too. The views are decent. I suggest a cocktail with a view over their food.

This place gets pretty busy! Came here for brunch with friends and children. Service was decent for a table of 10, but got a little upset that I couldn't hear her at all from one end of the table. Also, she didn't even care to offer my child a water, so I had to ask my friends if they were going to drink their water so I can give it to my kid. Food was delicious! We ordered 2 shareables, deviled eggs and French toast. Deviled eggs weren't your normal thanksgiving and Easter appetizer, it was definitely better with great flavors. Got an order of pancakes and eggs Benedict. The pancakes were large and delicious. sweet enough that syrup wasn't necessary. But it came with a side of jam. The Eggs Benedict english muffins were quite large compared to the store bought english muffins. Hollandaise sauce was delicious! I always order eggs Benedict for brunch and this one is definitely on my top 3! Overall food was delicious! Service was ok but it wasn't terrible. And the view of downtown Cleveland while having brunch was beautiful. Will definitely come back again.

Cute vibe. Very pretty on the inside. The food was decent. That bacon rack was sooo good. View of the lake was amazing. Small portions for the price. Service was friendly and fast!

Came here on a romantic date and loved everything about it. The VIEW, y'all! Unbeatable. The location, the decor, the cleanliness, the crystal clear indoor pool view, the spaciousness, the vibe...it was bougie without the attitude. This is the only restaurant that can cook bucatini correctly al dente. I've tried two other primarily Italian restaurants that don't know how to cook it. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. The food was excellent and portions are reasonable. Prices are in line with ambiance and location. Parking was available in the same lot as the apartment building. The only confusing part was that there was another seafood restaurant under the same apartment building one parking lot away...we might've gone there first by accident...

The food was good, but the ambiance is over the top if you love waterside dining and looking out over Lake Erie as I do. I had the Wild Mushroom Pasta which was a delicious vegetarian dish. I'd ordered a glass of wine which the waitress forgot, but when we reminded her she apologized, said it was entirely her fault, brought it promptly and said it was taken off the check because she'd originally forgotten it! Will definitely go back!

Food good. Views amazing. Service was pretty bad. Never saw our waitress after ordering. We had to bus our own table and go to the bar for drinks. Still would come back but would ask for a different waitress than Miranda.

Truly one of the premier brunch locations in the city. The vibe, the atmosphere, the service and the food are all an experience. It feels like you're away on vacation.

Amazon brunch and atmosphere! Went on a Sunday and someone was playing the piano. Very lovely.

Great views, great service. Food is good...TINY portions, pricey. I ordered Quinoa cakes. I got two small toasted cakes on top of about three tablespoons of purple rice. The small eight dollar portion of potato salad was good, not great. My friend ordered the small oyster appetizer. Two tiny but tasty oysters. Lol. She also ordered Walleye...another very small piece. These pricey dinners do not even come with bread. We can say we tried it once but definitely won't be back.

This time around I stopped by summerhouse for a nightcap. Their creme brûlée was strawberry favor! It was okay, but the consistency of it was just right. We ordered a hummus and it was amazing! The hummus was just right. We had some coffee drinks and those was pretty simple and right. I've always liked the food and service. But the views always has be mesmerized!
