"We were out driving around the Brecksville area and decided maybe we could find a patio to sit on somewhere to stop for a few apps and a drink. First place we wanted to try was closed for a private party. So I suggested Burntwood in Brecksville. I hadn't been there in years. What a mistake. Pulled in the parking lot and no one was sitting on the patio on a rather nice day. Not sure why maybe it was closed for some reason, we didn't ask. We entered the restaurant and the lady that was greeting people told us that she wanted to just let us know that we would not be able to order anything that needed to be fried because their fryer wasn't working or something. You would think a restaurant would have mulitple fryers. So we decided to sit at the bar and order a drink and ask the bartender what was available that we could order for food. There were three tables occupied and two guys sittng at the bar. We ordered a bloody mary and a watermelon drink they had on the menu. The bloody mary came with a piece of celery only and when I picked it up to eat it was soft and drooped. I assume it had been sitting at the bar for a long time. I told the bartender and I handed it to him and he said yea that's pretty bad and never offered to get a another fresh piece. Guess the restaruant didn't have any celery either. The bloody mary tasted fine. The watermelon drink we think was supposed to be strained but instead was muddled and wasn't too good. We decided at that point to skip the limited food they had available because of the fryer situation and just asked for our check. As we were waiting for our check, we happened to look over by a table of where two ladies were sitting and there was a pile of towels on the floor with what appeared to be water around them. I assume they were trying to soak up water from some leak or something. Looked unappealing. We won't be back as the place also looks a bit run down. In all fairness, we have eaten at other Burntwood restaurants and things were better. We ended going to Creekside not far away and it was clean, lively and had great service, great food and drinks."

"So 6 years ago I left the below review. which you can see under this one I am doing today. I thought by now they would have gotten their act together. Giving local restaurants my hard earned money is important to me so I figured I 'd give them another try.....6 years is enough time to do better. Not so...never going back here again! I orderd the Ceaser Salad with Salmon and a side of vegetables. The side of vegetables of which I paid plenty for consisted of 3 pieces of sliced Zucchini, two pebble size pieces of onion and a tiny square of a red pepper. Are you kidding me? $7.00 for a side of vegetables that literally would have left a 9 month old hungry! I called the restaurant to see if they forgot to include a side and all the girl on the phone could say was sorry that 's just how we do it. The salad was not good and once again, even after telling them more than once the food came to me with no napkins and no plastic utensils. Burntwood Tavern loves to have you eat your take out food with your hands! There are so many other restaurants who deserve my hard earned money...this is definitely not one of them. Poor food, poor service, poor everything. I 'd stay away and try some other restaurant around town. Once bitten...twice shy! Horrible! Just picked up take out when I told myself I wouldn 't do it again. Flatbread was ice cold, hummus was not good, and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes for food to come out when we gave them a 1/2 hour notice before pick up. They didn 't seem too busy so not sure why that happened. Anyways never been impressed with this place so not going back. Great atmosphere and good looking building but had more than twice mediocre experiences so its off the list."
