Jekyll’s Kitchen

Completely impressed. This is a small town near Cleveland and this restaurant is in a small touristy spot near the falls. I expected cookie cutter food from a small town tourist trap, but everything was seriously wonderful and top notch. We went on Father’s Day and were seated on the terrace overlooking the falls without delay. The service was outstanding. Everyone from the server to the young lady who refilled our water was impressively upbeat, friendly, attentive, and professional. My son is disabled and while sweet can be a handful, but every person who interacted with us was amazingly kind, patient and loving. The food was first class. I had Pasta Bolognese and a Caesar Salad, my son had chicken, fries and a side salad, and my brother had a Thai Chicken Salad. The chef here has chops. The portions were generous, the bolognese sauce I had was perfect with just the right balance of sweet and acid, my son’s meal was wonderful, the salads were fresh and absolutely delicious, the seasoning was on point. This is not Applebee’s (which is kind of what I expected) and the cost is a little bit higher; but the quality and service on our visit were far above what I expected so the cost was much lower than I would have expected from such a fine dining establishment. It felt to me like we got 5 star food and service and paid 4 star prices.

Crappy hour. We tried this place despite my trepidation. I said to my wife that I wasn’t sure about a place that served pizza and sushi. We arrived and the staff were very nice and friendly, no complaints about the service, it was very good. We ordered drinks and the truffle chips, which tasted great, perhaps we should have stopped there, but no we did not. She ordered the spicy tuna sushi, and I the Italian sausage pizza. The presentation was great, however the food was not. The sushi looked like it was deep fried and it was warm, the pizza looked okay, but the bottom line is that I got home and within an hour I was on the toilet, and I spent the entire night, every several hours there. I will never return… to Jekylls that is!

Definitely going again. The staff was very nice the food was absolutely amazing. They had so many options. But there food is a bit over priced. I recommend going here u got sushi and it was amazing.

We went for my sons graduation, and the service was nothing short of excellent. Constantly refreshing our drinks and the manager stopped by to ask how our food was. On top of this, my son was greeted by a «Congratulations» card from the staff and a free piece of chocolate cake, compliments of the chef. Great place to celebrate a milestone!

People love this place and the ambiance is nice and the view is nice. The truffle chips were amazing but the rest was just mediocre for what you pay. I’ll go back so that’s really what matters isn’t it?

No real complaints. My burger was good.
I’ve had some of the pizzas too and they also were pretty good.
The inside is nice, but the patio is even better.
Not a whole lot of menu options, and what they do have is a little pricey.
I assume they can charge that because it is Chagrin Falls.

My mom and I went for a Mother’s Day dinner. We arrived at about 4:30 in the afternoon and got a table right by the falls without a reservation! Not sure if this is the norm for a Saturday, as I did get a little busier as time went on. The menu is a little smaller and pricy, but in terms of quality, it was absolutely exquisite!
We had the deviled eggs as an appetizer, which you receive 4 of. As a lover of deviled eggs, the consistency was very smooth, and the garnishes really added some great flavor.
My entrée was the Atlantic Salmon with a Lemon Lime Butter Sauce and a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The salmon was also pan-​seared. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the mashed potatoes had a great consistency, and the asparagus was very good. My mom and I cleared our plates!
The drink menu also very nice, with large selection of wines, spirits, and beers. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but not too unreasonable.
Our waitress was very nice too. There were times where she went through spells without coming to us, but she was very helpful when she did come back around. She even took my mom and i’s mother day picture in front of the falls for us. The manager also come out to ask how we were and how our experience was going. He was very professional.
Overall, my mom and I had a wonderful experience, and I would certainly recommend this restaurant to any who would ask me where to eat in Chagrin Falls. Considering the location and economic status of the area, the prices are what you might expect, but still reasonable, and the quality of the food is worth its price.

My wife and I made reservations for date night here. We have an almost two year old so date nights are a special night for us. We had reservations at 6:30 and we arrived on time. Greg, our waiter, was prompt to serve us our water and said he would give us a few moments and come back for our drinks. After 15 minutes of waiting he never came back. We decided to call another restaurant and got up to leave. On our way out what appeared to be a manager asked if we changed our mind, and I said yes we’ve been waiting and no one came back. She said I’m sorry and told me to have a good night. Very disappointed in this restaurant after hearing good things.

I went with a group of girlfriends back to Jeckyl after their re-​opening. The new layout lets you see more of the falls from the main dining room and the bar. The flow is much better. The food was amazing. I had the truffle chips, no one can resist these, and pizza. Everyone at my table enjoyed everything they ordered. We had perfect service as well. The place is always packed so plan ahead.

I haven’t been here since they re-​built it. It’s a really nice place and the food is really one of the best places in Chagrin. If you decide to make a reservation… ask for a view of the falls. It’s a great romantic view. As far as food: the truffle chip are a must have!

Came here for dinner with a friend. Have to agree with some of these comments about the wait staff. Once we were seated our servers were AWESOME but when we went to the bar while waiting for our table the bartender blatantly ignored us for a good 15 minutes. A couple came up they seemed to know and took their order while a group next to us even commented about it and laughed it off with us.
Now for the food– I could tell the go to was the flat breads which looked and smelled delicious but I was in the mood for sushi and went with the spicy tuna crunch– I thought it was done very well. My friend got a salad and said hers was good. Lots of options with goat cheese on the menu (which i loved so happy to see that!)
Overall a good variety of food choices (sushi, flat breads, steak, burgers, and more) so a way to find something everyone can like. Would like to return to try the flatbreads and hopefully get better service at the bar or go without a drink!

Fantastic!!! The Best birthday dinner I have ever eaten. Our meal was outstanding! The fresh truffle chips were amazing! The short ribs were outstanding, and the flourless chocolate cake was to die for! Cannot wait to go back!!!

I had read some lackluster reviews and was worried about going to Jekyll’s for a Christmas party with a group of 6 other women. The place was very busy for a Monday evening. A couple of us started in the bar where we were helped by our bartender, Rob. He made sure to get our bottle of wine to the table when the rest of our party arrived. So far, so good.
At our table, it took a trip to the Manager (by one of our group who knew him) when we hadn’t been approached for quite awhile to even offer us water. After that it took literally 30 seconds for 2 waitstaff and the Manager to come see us. We were offered two complimentary appetizers as well as a verbal apology. After that we had very good and friendly service.
The potato chip app was very good. Even those who didn’t like Blue Cheese loved this. The calamari rings were small but very tasty. I had the beef short ribs which came with a mushroom risotto and sauteed spinach for $ 25. It was truly excellent both visually and taste wise. The Salmon was also a big hit, A big portion done beautifully with a choice of sauces. Several others had the pan fried scallops. They were tasty but could have used a darker sear especially since it presented a very beige dish when offered with the smashed potatoes. It should have been paired with a colorful side dish. I would have had the potatoes in the center with the scallops on top. Then a green vegetable surrounding it or laid over top.
Overall, our experience was terrific and we thank Jekyll’s for a memorable evening!

Trutfle chips, kale and brussell sprout salad were very good. The best part about this place is the view of the falls and the general ambience. Meals here are pricey with entrees between 20 – 40 $. There’s free parking after 6pm and all day Sunday. It’s a nice place to visit when in the area and the truffle chips drizzle in blue cheese are the most memorable offering. It’s a big portion, enough for four people to share.

I am actually a big fan of Jekylls Kitchen in Chagrin Falls. My favorite parts:
–the scene: great views of the falls, really nice outdoor bar and seating area, weather permitting, and love the village area
–food: a few of my favorites include the blue cheese balsamic potato chip things that I love. Limited options but decent (American) sushi — yummy veggie roll. Sides are also tasty — uniquely and well seasoned. Somewhat limited vegetarian options but I left full and satisfied.
Some cons of Jekylls:
–the service: I have been here a few times and the hostess staff are frequently totally unhelpful and I get the sense that they feel that they are much better than everyone else. I am telling you, not the most welcoming crew. The wait staff is typically much better but not above average.
–prices are on the more expensive side but not unreasonable.
Happy eating!

Perfect salmon dinner, I am a sushi snob so their sushi roll was not the best. It had way too much rice. The atmosphere and the customer service were great. Definitely loved watching the falls while having dinner.

I honestly think giving two stars is being EXTREMELY generous… Everything is sooo mediocre from the overly sugary cocktails to the basic food menu. The only reason to come to jekylls is for the scenery. The patio is nice overlooking the falls…
The food is horrible. I’ve had everything on the menu from the sushi to the pizza. Every time I have eaten the sushi, the rice has been extremely hard. I know this isn’t a sushi restaurant so I have really let the bad sushi slide.
The pizza taste exactly like the frozen digiorno pizza from the grocery store…
The fries are definitely far from good. The sauce they bring out with them taste like nothing but mayo. Which could be yummy if you like straight mayo on your fries
I LOVE cocktails and defiantly do not mind paying $ 10+ for an awesome cocktail. I really felt like all I was drinking was sugar water. Also I don’t like $ 10+ cocktails that are premade… I felt like I was at a dive bar that was trying to slang sugary cocktails as quick as they could (and have you open and pour your own premade cocktail)
Its extremely over priced so if you’re going to go here go for happy hour so you can get the mediocre food for mediocre prices

Overall: I want to like this place since it’s in amazing location, but they need better service and focus on a particular type of food.
Appearance: 5 stars. Very well built and designed interior. The outside patio is possibly the best in all of Cleveland.
Food: 3 stars. Mixed. They have a ton of variety (seafood, steak, pizza, sushi) and that usually means they don’t do it all well. The calamari was terrible; it was the smallest I’ve ever seen and almost all breading. The sushi was mediocre but I like that they offer it. The salmon was very good.
Service: 2 stars. The waitress seemed like she didn’t want to be there, and gave sarcastic short answers.
Prices: 4 stars. They are a bit high, but not bad for the area and a nice dinner.

I have been here twice now and neither time has it disappointed. The food is amazing, I have gotten salmon both times and my wife has gotten a filet. I usually eat a good portion of my wife’s steak and they do a great job. Cooked to perfection and worth the cost.
I’d advise you to make a reservation because there is no room to wait inside and wait times can be pretty long, especially on the weekend. The last time I went I had a reservation and it made a huge difference.
The view of the falls is perfect for dates or romantic dinners. There is also plenty to do around the area before or after dinner, parking can be a pain, but valet was only $ 3.00, so do that.
If you like fish or steak then go here and give it a try. But please try to dress decently, it doesn’t have a dress code, but it should. Seeing people dressed in sleeveless shirts and jean shorts hurts the overall atmosphere of the restaurant.

Love this place! Having the falls in the back ground while you’re eating is so nice! The food was great! They have everything from pizza, steaks, fish, pasta, and even sushi ! Portions were good and the specialty drinks were delicious! Definitely a great place to go!
