It was an experience.
Thanks CosmosHuman. Don't laugh, I suggested it although only in jest and after a few drinks. We loved our years in Cleveland raising a family but that time has passed. We'll settle for return in June for a Cavs game or October for the Tribe.

Thank you sgh and for the recommendation. We've decided that we like the vibe of the East Side and in particular the Upper East Side. We'll be back in a couple of weeks for another round and see how we feel and whether we can find something within the budget that feels right.

Pan-grilled Sole is my favorite fish when I visit France. I thought it was only served at "Le Bernardin" in NYC.
The Jean-Georges Nougatine version was amazing. Would highly recommend.
