 -

We may sit "non-reserved" guests with some waiting time 

at the door, only if not in conflict with existing reservations.

Please call  216-921-9691, thus helping us 

to prepare for the volume of those busy hours.

 

Note: A voicemail notice is not a confirmed reservation. An automated (oogle or else) 

attempt by Artificial Intelligence is not a reservation. Ours being a person to person 

service, hence those reservations shall be confirmed by talking with real people, 

calling back during regular business hours, connect with reality, person to person.

 

Furthermore, we are kindly cautioning our would be patrons, this is a Family Restaurant 

and we make our menu fresh. We do not employ drones or "Artificial Intelligence" 

nor "apps" and do not serve "Virtual Food" You see, we have remained traditionally slow 

about slow cooked food. We make our food with care, and respect for our beloved 

Patrons whom understand the gift we share, called natural world. Thank You


 Carry Out scheduling 1-3 days ahead
We prep and cook fresh to order.
This is a slow food restaurant, not a fast food joint!!
We prefer local services, local harvest, local goods!!
--
What a mistake some make thinking food is done in minutes! 
For natural food One has to wait, or plan ahead. 
First greens have to ripe, grains cultivated, food not manufactured. 
Then it has to be cleaned and cooked with respect. After all, it is the gift of life. 
One must understand the rush of the Global chaos must stop somewhere. 
Stop it then at your front door, or stop it at the line of your mailbox if you can. 
One shall learn to live again, and take a great sigh with joy.

For Everyone else the message is Patience! 
The Stone age is over and the Apps age shall be over soon.
