First timer. Loved the ambiance and service was great. Cocktails were a bit too concentrated with sweetness but I appreciated that I could still taste the liquor and the presentation was beautiful. Food comes in small portions and is overpriced. If you're considering dinner, I'd come for a drink and then move on to the next establishment. I'd be willing to come back and try brunch!
The last page has great ambience. I love coming here. The prices are a little excessive however it doesn't make me stop coming. They have happy hour Tuesday through Sunday from 4 to 6 where they have $10 appetizers. I think half off wine and beer and discounted select cocktails. I got some vanilla pear old-fashioned that I don't know really was unsatisfying, but I didn't send it back. I tried to drink it. I couldn't finish it. The next drink. I had however was delicious. I'm trying to remember the name and failing. I'll update this review if I can remember, it was tequila based with tajin, bitters and came out smoked. Oh! Got it. THE MYSTIC. GET IT!
We came on 1/11 for the first day of the Sushi Kuwahata pop up and got the chef's tasting of the day with 6 pieces of nigiri and we added on the supplemental chutoro and uni rolls. The sushi was the best we've had in Cleveland and on par with some of the sushi we've had in NYC! We also got the roasted carrots for our vegetable from the last page menu. In terms of the cocktails I got the Mystic which was smoked to perfection and came in a cloche and the FML margarita which was well balanced. My SO got the only sake they had. Unfortunately they do not have any sake cups and did not mix up the sake properly before pouring it so the first pour was very clear and the second pour had a lot of the fermented rice dregs. Overall great sushi, cocktails and carrots! Definitely a gem in Pinecrest
First time back in a while and was delighted to see the quality hasn't lapsed at all. The steak and eggs were amazing as was my wife's ham and cheese sandwich. Cocktails on point and service was warm and friendly - they were understaffed on a busy Saturday brunch and still managed to get to us regularly. Pretty festive atmosphere with a lot of patrons between the holidays. Will be back soon!
What a swanky spot to grab a cocktail! I was in town on business and once the business was through, we decided to grab a celebratory drink before calling it a night. My coworker and I easily grabbed a seat at the bar and browsed their cocktail menu. The bartender was attentive and answered all of our questions in regards to the most popular picks and what she thought we would like. I went with a light, citrisy, floral drink - the botanica. It comes with Watershed gin, lavender syrup, lemon, orange bitters, and a ginger liqueur. My goodness, it was exactly what I was wanting and was absolutely delightful. It had an ice cube with a frozen lemon peel and was served in a martini glass. Very elegant looking. I let my drink partner give it a try and she liked it so much so switched her order. While we didn't eat, I can speak to how nice the space was inside. They even had it decorated for the holidays. The restrooms were very clean and had some funky wallpaper on the walls. They had televisions playing the Cavs and light music playing. It was an overall vibe. I can totally see myself coming here for a night on the town with friends, on a date, or even for a nice dinner and drinks with family. Until next time, my friends!
We had a wonderful dinner at The Last Page last Saturday night. I found the restaurant on Yelp and it was mere steps from our hotel. You need a reservation so make sure to get one in advance. The decor and atmosphere was amazing, but to be honest, in the dark, we could not see or find the front door at first haha! We had a good waitress and we started off with the bread and butter appetizer. It was wonderful! My husband got the Peruvian chicken and loved it! I got the truffle orecchiette. It had the right amount of truffle and it was cooked to perfection. This main meal would be really hard to finish. My husband took several bites and sadly it went back with noodles still on the plate. I would love to go back and try a dessert or the weekend brunch next time we are in Beachwood.
Went to The Last Page for a cute little double date. Super cute! The waiter knew the menu well and was helpful because one in our party has several allergies. The food was wonderful! The Burrata & Peaches was so good it changed my husband's opinion on burrata! So take that as you will. All the other food kept up to the hype of the appetizers. We sadly didn't get dessert but that's just another reason to go back.
Ambiance: The place is well decorated & contemporary with a fairly loud environment. Drinks were great. Really liked the Sozo Sour made with Mezcal. Food/Service: Real surprised how the timing of the food was off. There were only 2 of us. I ordered the brazino & hubby ordered the Peruvian chicken. My dish came out first & I was over half way done with my dish when his chicken finally showed up. He said it was good but they definitely left it on the grill longer than needed! The branzino came with a sweet, slightly tangy/slightly spicy sauce. Very nice balance! It comes topped with mint leaves & cilantro. I really do not like mint leaves so if you don't either, ask for them to top it with cilantro only. However, it's easy to just move the leaves off the dish. I didn't get a shareable side item cause we really weren't that hungry but I must say as much as I enjoyed the branzino, you definitely need to put a side item with it because it is a fairly small, light proportion. I usually don't finish my entrees but no problem with this dish!
Let me tell you somethin'... I initially found this place on a late night after work and wanted wings. I saw a picture of their Crackin' Ghost Wings as the featured photo and I was sold. I paid this place a single visit and I was HOOKED. Now I have to absolutely visit this place whenever I'm in Cleveland... here's why... Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is in a huge "strip mall" of sorts, but I'd rather call it a mini-city. There's a movie theater here, people can buy apartments above the stores, there's restaurants everywhere, it's NICE here. So The Last Page is kinda tucked away a lil' bit across from Pinstripes and the valet stand. There's a bit of an outdoor section for the warmer months. Once inside you are transported into a futuristic, modern utopia of sorts. The restaurant is wide-open giving you the impression that this place is huge, but it's not. There are booths around the perimeter and tables right in the middle with the beautiful well-lit bar right at the back. The ceiling is kinda wild too! I love the feeling this place gives me just by being here. And when you get the chance... check out the bathrooms... all 4 of them, they're all different... and ask to see the secret private room. ;-) Service: Reine (a manager who know longer works here) welcomed me in with open arms and Joy was my bartender who took care of me. I haven't seen her in a while, but Desiree is who I've been seeing lately! Everyone here is just so friendly, helpful and makes you feel welcomed. Food: I've been here several times and have had quite a few dishes. Let's start from the top... Lol. The Last Manhattan: It consists of barrel-aged Bulleit rye, carpano antica, fee bros orange bitters and served with applewood smoke. It was Earthy, a bit sweet, delicious, rounded with a good burn from that rye. It was well balanced and the smoke was so... refreshing if I can say that? You have to taste it to believe it. Lol. Mai Tai: It consists of Appleton Estate rum, rhum clement, orgeat, lime, sugar cane and fire. It comes served in the cutest ceramic fish cup then lit on fire right in front of you. Lol. It was tropical, light, refreshing and a little on the sweet side, but that's kind of what you'd expect from a drink you're supposed to be drinking on a beach... in Cleveland. Grilled Broccolini: Toasted panko, crispy garlic, parmesan, romesco. The presentation was phenomenal and delivered amazing aromas. It was SO FLAVORFUL from the char to the cheesiness to the soy and umami flavors. Well done. Never have I been so excited for broccoli... Lol. Cracklin' Ghost Wings: THESE along with the dranks Big Dezzi creates are single-handedly what keeps me coming back to The Last Page. So these are made with a sweet & spicy dry rub then served with an umami ranch. I love these so much and they're so simple. The batter is light, airy and fluffy. The chicken is rich, hot and cooked well. The flavors don't pop like a sauced wing, but they're definitely there. There isn't much spice, but if you want it, just bite the dried pepper on your plate. Lol. Broken Yolk Fried Rice: Again, presentation is ON POINT. Joy recommended this to me so I had to try it. It's a dome of fried rice topped with light peppers, kimchi, spinach and a nice seat for a single egg yolk. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to stir that yolk in and enjoy! The rice was cooked perfectly. It was soft, creamy, smooth, garlicy, flavorful, salty and was just plain GOOD. You don't even need a protein to go with it. The Last Word: Made with Four Peel Watershed gin, luxardo cherry, chartreuse, lime juice then topped with a rosemary bubble that has some smoke in it! Lol. The flavors were so complex and worked so well. The rosemary/lavender smell enters your nose as you put the glass to your face. There's no grape in the drink, but I sure tasted some! Lol. Swiss & Salty: Dark chocolate Swiss roll, ganache, coffee cream and served with salted caramel ice cream. Presentation is another 10/10, but a perfect way to end the meal. It was smooth, rich, a teeny bit salty and just overall GREAT. The ice cream was a perfect complement with its... you guessed it, bold salted caramel creamy flavors. Value: You gon' pay to play here. It is what it is. It's a nice place so be prepared to spend, but it's not Michelin Star level. However, the secret is to come for happy hour from 3:00pm to 6:00pm Tuesday through Sunday. All wines by the glass, beers and signature cocktails are 1/2 off! Some appetizers (including the wings) are heavily discounted. Like I said before, I love this place SO MUCH and am missing it right now as I write this review. I can't wait to come back! Check this place out and tell them I sent you!
