Really cool vibes here! Just what I wanted from a themed speakeasy experience. I loved the cocktails we got and I really appreciate the vegan menu. The service was great and they made us feel very welcome. I was celebrating a birthday too and they made a nice effort to make the date special. Highly recommend for anyone who likes medieval fantasy or vegan cuisine.

Very good food! You could tell that fresh ingredients were used and dishes were simple and flavorful. Restaurant was a little tight for space. Servers were very attentive. Great value!

Beautiful November morning in Coronado do had breakfast at an outdoor table and service and food were great. Enjoyed the guava-pineapple mimosa and the egg white turkey omelet. Busy place so reservations are recommended!

Clevel is our favorite restaurant. The food is always superb. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The views are fabulous. I usually order the ahi stack which is absolutely fantastic. The ahi is fresh and the crab, avocado and mango augment both its flavor and texture. The sauce has changed from year to year (There was a time when the ahi was seared but if you requested unseared, the chef complied), but the dish remains my favorite. My other favorite is lobster mac and cheese. It is sinfully delicious, and I am one of the people who can easily devour it in one sitting. The times I haven’t (I am a slow eater) I have finished my “doggie bag” as soon as I arrived home! The rest of the menu is also superb; I have tasted most dishes. But these two are my absolute favorites.
