Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Shaker Square

We really appreciate that the Standard is open on Thanksgiving. It's just me and my elderly mother who doesn't cook anymore, so it's nice to have a good place open on the holiday. Overall, the food was very good. We had: French onion soup, Romain "wedge" salad, braised lamb shank with risotto, white meat turkey special and an apple tart each. Mom said the soup was good - though not quite as good as the one she made herself for a Julie and Julia from the French Chef's cookbook some years ago. My salad was very nice. Mom's lamb was good, but a bit tepid and short on vegetables. My turkey and accoutrements were very good, well-seasoned, not dry, and hot. The only real disappointment was the dessert. The tart was flat with no discernable edge to the crust - which was underbaked. Our waiter said that it was the first attempt at this item and it could use a bit of polishing. Our server was very personable and engaging. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The noise level was moderate. Overall, a great experience. Thanks Standard!

Just celebrated Thanksgiving with my family at Summer Place. Wonderful ambience and lake view. I know the set up for Thanksgiving a little different than normal menu since it was a buffet — a perfect traditional turkey, beef and ham and every side you could dream of. Everything delicious. Such terrific service from T. We can’t wait to try Summer Place again.

The restaurant atmosphere is wonderful. It’s beautiful inside old rustic look of old Italian restaurant. Terry, the host was absolutely gracious brought over some fresh made pasta for sampling to our table. Great waiter great service highly recommended.

Great time and exceptional service! We would highly recommend!

Great location if you are seeing a show at playhouse. Good was good, service was a bit slow, but they are packed if you are going to dinner before a show.
