My husband and I went on our honeymoon! The wait staff was so kind and even brought us champagne (and ginger ale for my husband since he doesn’t drink). It was such a special way to kick off our marriage, and the food was incredible.

Stumbled upon Cleveland’s cultural hub while dining at this wonderful French Bar and Brasserie. We ate out on the patio and really enjoyed the ambiance. Great food and our waiter Tyler was awesome.

We consistently have wonderful experiences at L'Albatros - we used to reserve it for special occasions, but now we come just for drinks and snacks as well. We brought our parents while they were in town, and they were thrilled with everything from the beautiful patio to the escargots (SO delicious) to the outstanding service. We truly appreciate all the extra care and precautions during the pandemic.

Outstanding and Covid safe! We entered with masks, temperature was taken and menu uploaded to phone. We sat outside, bread brought out in darling brown bag and masked waiter was timely and efficient. We ordered, food piping hot, (no heat lamps here !),and everything perfect. Tables very far apart. I checked out inside tables and spacing is outstanding. Bravo to Zak Bruell and staff for making us feel safe while still being able to serve the perfect patio dining. The manager( I think) stopped by to check several times and the food runner was polite and I was able to see smiling eyes, although masked. We will be back sooner then later!! Thank you!.

Our server was delightful—friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and fun. The cheese server helped us pick great cheeses for us, and our food was terrific. We had the trout and the pasta special—vegetables in a perfect Parmesan broth. Also, the restaurant was very well equipped for social distancing and masks, which we appreciated. We can’t wait to visit Cleveland again for another fine dinner here.
