1330 On The River - Cleveland

We first visited on a Thursday and enjoyed an amazing outdoor dining experience. This past Saturday, we returned to celebrate our engagement with our parents. It was a lively Saturday night, and we dined indoors this time. However, our food arrived at different times, and the window we were seated by was a bit dirty and uninviting. Despite the higher prices, my mother absolutely loved the figs! Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we plan to return.

The restaurant is ideally located along the Cuyahoga River in the Cleveland Flats, offering an incredible view of the city. We even had the chance to see an iron ore freighter move down the river, which was a nice touch. The sushi roll we ordered was a fantastic starter. Both the steak and chicken were cooked to perfection, and I absolutely loved the signature Brussels sprouts as a side dish. To complement our meals, we enjoyed Stone Cold Steve Austin's American Lager, which paired nicely. The staff provided prompt and friendly service, making our experience truly enjoyable.

The food was delightful, and our waitress was very friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant was quite empty, which led to the staff chatting among themselves, causing us to experience long waits when we needed assistance. We also encountered an issue at the bar; we ordered six lemon drop shots, and as a group of women, it felt like they were trying to take advantage of us. Each shot was priced at $13 and had almost no alcohol in them. Despite the restaurant being empty, we had to repeatedly ask for service at the bar. Overall, we were very disappointed.

We ordered two orders of brussels sprouts has appetizers. Then our meals came, and everyone of the meals were loaded with brussels sprouts. I'm very disappointed that the waitress didn't tell us to pick alternate sides.

Bacon wrapped goat cheese dates , glizzy pops with a spicy yet sweet breading , and the best Brussel sprouts you ever had. I'm not a fan of goat cheese because it's so strong but wow I never knew someone could make something so savory and beautiful with every bite there's a different flavor and it just gets better and better. The bacon was definitely perfectly crisp the date was sweet but not overwhelming and the goat cheese just tied everything together so well. The Glizzy pops ???? Omg honey cornbread mix with a spicy Frank in the middle omggggggg. This is the best thing I think I've ever had. No sauce needed with anything on this plate. But the special sauce definitely takes this to a new level ! I asked for an order of these to go because well come on. I'm the hardest person to please when it comes to Brussel sprout because well no one does them right. These were freshhhh perfectly sauced perfectly steamed. I'm not sure what the sauce on here is but babyyyyyyyy send me home with a bucket of this sauce. I asked for the recipe 2-3 times so I can make it at home . 1330 on the river is absolutely a place that I will visit every time I come to Cleveland. All the food is made to order so everything came out quick , HOT, and super fresh. Please go see Lauren and Harry at the bar if you want a GOOOD TIME ! Every drink she made from the simple to the special to the intricate was a 12/10, service was perfect as well from all the staff. Everyone made sure to ask us 1000000 times if we were okay and ensured us with the best customer service ever. We got to meet the owner and he's such a nice guy he personally came out to make sure we were all having a good time. Please make sure to ask about the tequila that they make on their own when I say smoooooooooooooth I mean it's perfectly smooth. The music is the perfect mix it's a little bit of this a little bit of that but it fits whatever vibe you're looking for in my opinion. Oh and it's pretty inside ! Neon signs and the food and service is good ?? Never heard of this combo before. The bathrooms as well as the resturant were extremely clean when we came as well.
