As y’all know, I love the Cleveland area. I graduated from Case Western Reserve and so I sorta made it my mission to explore all that Cleveland has to offer as much as I can. I may be in Bedford, Cleveland Heights, etc. There is so much to see around the city!
In support of Midwest Black Restaurant Week, my friends and I decided to dine at Fredrick’s Wine and Dine ( http://www.fredericksdine.com/) located in Warrensville Heights, OH. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and due to COVID all guest were kept 6ft apart.
The menu was short and sweet but provided a good variety of appetizers and entrees to choose from. For our appetizer we had the oysters which was really good and sat in a tomato based sauce which paired well with the bread provided to us. For our entrees, I had the pork chops with baked mac and cheese and candied yams. I also had a side of corn bread. My friend ordered fish with greens and baked mac and cheese. The food was extremely good for both of us and I loved their bread as well.
To wash down my meal, I ordered alcoholic beverages of course! My first drink was a strawberry puree drink that for me was my least favorite because it had too much of the strawberry flavoring inside which I felt took away from the alcohol that was in it. The second drink I decided to try what my friend Ashley had which was the margarita you see in the picture above on the right. It was delicious, refreshing, and strong and so I decided to order my friend Candice one as well. 🙂
Overall, we were very pleased with the restaurant for food and customer service. Our server was very sweet and helpful at choosing items on the menu and checked on us often. The owner of the establishment stopped by our table a few times and engaged us in conversation and we even met his son who helps cook the food. They were both very sweet and nice people. This provided a nice “family” feel for us and made us feel even more welcomed. I plan to go back to this hidden gem the next time I am around.
