    What a very enjoyable experience we had. My sister and brother-in-law had just arrived this afternoon from Florida and we were searching places for lunch. I had heard about Hecks, but had never been. So we decided to try Hecks … we will be back.  Our server was prompt and very knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot on, our food was delicious! The Hecks Martini was perfect. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. What a wonderful beginning to a holiday spent with family.

    Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
