Edgewater Yacht Club

I love this place. My friend has a membership so we frequent the pool and restaurant.
It has an amazing view of Cleveland and all the members are very friendly.
The food is really good. They have a quite a variety of options from a club sandwich to seared tuna with seaweed salad.
The pool is great. It is always kept clean and having a bar out there is great too.
It’s also a great location for families and kids.

I’m not a member and I’m not a boater, so maybe I have no business writing a review, but I won’t let that stop me. :-)
A friend of mine is a member and every time I go, I’m struck by the friendliness and utter lack of pretension here. Drinks are stiff (albeit made with Paramount well). The food isn’t great but the setting is. In the unlikely event that I ever had a boat, this is the kind of place I’d keep it.

Came here to watch a regatta on a Sunday morning and stayed to watch the start of the Browns game with my friends. The little bar was sunny and lively as Clevelanders cheered on a victory over the Steelers on 2 flat screen TVs; I enjoyed a Bloody Mary, spin dip and chicken club sandwich on a pretzel bun (yum!). The spin dip was delicious and a very generous portion — our server brought us more pita without having to ask. This place is affordable and kind of like a little secret next to Edgewater Park. With the Metroparks taking over Whiskey Island too, I think this place will start to get noticed more. Cheap food, booze and some REALLY great Cleveland views!

I’m most definitely biased of this place because I’m a member but I consider this a terrific place to belong and visit. Plus it has terrific views if the lake sunsets and a killer view of downtown CLE.
The food and bar are alone reasons to join. The staff and members make it a point to get to know people and genuinely care. The drinks are well priced and well poured. The food can be as simple as a burger and fries or a high end seafood or steak dinner.
If you have kids, and I do, the pool is a godsend. It’s clean, new, and while there are almost always people there it never feels crowded and there is never not a few chairs to grab ad camp out in. The bar by the pool has full food and drink menus so you don’t have to go hungry or thirsty just cause you wanna swim or lay out.
The management always has events planned that add to it being more than just a yacht club. They have wine tastings, parties, family movie nights by the pool, and so on.
If you have a family and love sailing or boating in general this is the place for you.

Dining room, bar, pool side and patio food service available. Reasonable menus prices. Bar pub style food on regular menus with nicer specials in weekends.
Closed most Mondays during the day. Service can be slow if you sit in a remote area, but walk up service in the bar is always available, prompt and efficient.
On slow days sticking close to the menu basics is a good idea. On popular days everything can be good.
Homemade soups and clam chowder.
Big well prepared burgers and sandwiches. Several interesting salads and vegetarian selections. Special preparation requests are normally accommodated.
Restaurant closes earlier than some other regular places. 8 – 9:00 depending on evening and time of year. Bar is always open. Stiff low priced drinks. Friendly people at lunch and dinner most night in bar. Easy place to be at for a meal or dinner alone.

We sailed over to Edgewater to grab some lunch the other day. There was only one other couple eating there, but we seated ourselves and waited for a server. It must have been 15 minutes before somebody acknowledged us… and that was after one of us went inside to ask if anybody was going to help us. Finally somebody came with some menus (the same woman serving the other table, who had walked past us several times).
After perusing the menu, I decided on some sort of avocado chicken wrap and chose the sweet potato fries as my side. The food didn’t take too long, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. My wrap was very good, as were the sweet potato fries.
The 2 stars is for the restaurant only… I may give it another shot, but it won’t be first on the list.
