Second visit and this one happened to be my birthday. Walk in & up to the hostess, who looks at me and says,"What can I do for you?" Um... Greet us? Get us a table? Anything but stand there and ask that question? Unfortunately, dining options are EXTREMELY limited in Cleveland these days because one must choose between starving due to lack of service or vomiting due to lack of food preparation standards. Backdraft was no exception. It appears that servers have no set "section" here. So, our server was not only waiting on us, but another table at the back of the restaurant, which meant if you needed something you had to ask the hostess who would get the waitress... Etc... This is when they weren't all standing at the hostess station talking about one another. Didn't order an app because it was obvious right from the start that we wouldnt see our server again for 30 min if we ordered one. Salad bar was ok, entree was mediocre & took entirely too long to arrive, could be because I saw 2 different cooks come to the hostess station to fuss about something while we were waiting on dinner. Food looked disgusting and the sides weren't enough to satisfy a child, much less an adult. (See photo) I had the pineapple salmon & hubby had the shrimp special. Neither were good enough to waste anymore time reviewing them. Smoke does get into the non-smoking section, just FYI. I personally don't care, but the couple next to us that had a newborn with them appeared to. Another fail for Cleveland dining. Surprise. Surprise.

Good, but slow in the kitchen. Great tilapia!

Smack dab in the middle of a nice downtown area. The staff is really nice and friendly. I have eaten here twice. On the first visit I started with crawfish tails and cheeze sticks which were pretty good. The salad bar was OK but not special. I ordered the Chicken Falafle (sp?) which was recommended by the waitress and was actually really good. A friend got the lobster tail and was very happy with his choice saying he would order it again. The second time I visited I was taking some customers out for dinner. The food was still really good as my friend ordered lobster tail again and I tried the ribeye. My only gripe was that it took way too long for the food to come out....I mean awkward long and kind of embarrassing in front of my customers. I do not want to be too rough as the food was great once it came out. But....this is something they may need to improve on. I agree that the pricing is scaled a bit higher than it should be, but this is still worth trying out.

Within a moment or two of arriving, our server comes to greet us and tells us the specials and takes our drink orders. I decide to test the bar tender's repertoire. I ordered an "Old Fashioned" and wait breathlessly until the waitress returns and informs me that their bartenders don't know how to make one. So, the bartenders don't know how to make one of the six classic cocktails. I am somewhat concerned because I believe ANY/EVERY bartender should know how to make the six classic cocktails and any bartender that doesn't at least know enough to improvise one of these has no business pouring anything but beer. I forgive the deficiency of the bar assuming that the bartender is a college kid who hasn't slung liquor long enough to appreciate the appeal of a well made cocktail. I toss the bar a softball and hope that they will console me with a passable amaretto sour. I am not disappointed as a perfectly blended beverage finds its way to my table. Leigh and I decide to split the appetizer special, pepperoni dip. I order a cup of the crab soup for myself as well and we ponder our entrée options. The menu has most of the staples you'd expect for dining in the delta and a few eyebrow raising surprises. Leigh decides upon a steak and I order the Alaskan salmon with a mango chutney paired with garlic whipped potatoes and an order of the barbecued shrimp on the side. Our entrees come with a salad and I fill a small plate with a delicious bean salad from the salad bar. It is light, effervescent, and a wonderful blend of vibrant flavor and firm yet yielding textures. About half way through my salad our pepperoni dip arrives with a basket of bread and we dig in. I am somewhat skeptical of this concoction until I take the first bite and fall in love with the seductive blend of gooey mozzarella, hearty pepperoni, and silky smooth cream cheese. Leigh and I quickly dispatch with the small sizzling bowl of love in front of us and just as we do, my soup arrives. The soup is one of crab, corn, and vegetables in a cream broth. It is almost a blend of crab bisque and cream corn chowder. The soup has a definite kick from what I presume is cayenne. The spices aren't overwhelming, but the heat is certainly there. It is delightful and I share some with Leigh. She loves it and remarks about it right away. Finally, our entrées arrive and we dig in. Leigh's steak is done to perfection with a nice seared crust and just the right amount of pink in the middle. The steak's flavor is excellent and the cut is appropriate (some local steaks can be a little under or over proportioned for my tastes). The salmon is better than I anticipated. The portion was large enough to be satisfying and the meat was flaky without being rubbery or chewy. The mango chutney gives a distinct bright sweetness to the dish that plays well with the delicate flavor of the salmon. The potatoes were a little less firm and garlicky than I would have liked, but they were by no means bad. I prefer mashed potatoes to have some texture to them and to be a little more liberally flavored with garlic. The barbecued shrimp was a little less satisfying. There was no description of the shrimp in the menu and I had envisioned skewered shrimp grilled with barbecue sauce. Instead the shrimp were served in a bowl of sizzling oil and barbecue sauce still in the skins. I have no problem with peeling shrimp of they are boiled, but reaching in to a bowl of sizzling fat saturated with barbecue sauce and spices to peel my shrimp isn't my idea of fun. The shrimp were good, but more labor intensive and less flavorful than I would have enjoyed. The mess of peeling and eating the shrimp seemed somewhat out of pace with the otherwise accessible and neatly presented meal. I would recommend sparing the customers the "dirty work" of cleaning their own shellfish unless they are being served boiled shrimp, crawfish, or another traditional dish where one expects to "dig" for their meat. Overall on a scale of one to ten, I give Backdraft a 6.5, with a 7 easily within their grasp given a more proficient bar staff and at least the addition of a handy-wipe to their more "finger dependant" fare. The menu is familiar and diverse enough to please most locals and the prices are comparable to other local places such as The Roof or Airport Grocery. I recommend taking a friend or someone special there and sampling the cuisine for yourself. I will definitely frequent the establishment again and look forward to discovering more from their menu.

Enjoyed a nice, kind of quick, pre-theatre meal there tonight. Crabmeat au Gratin was as good as I've had anywhere. The Seafood Stuff Portabella was good also and my companions liked their Tilapia, Catfish & Salad. Service was friendly & efficient. We were in, out & on our way to the BPAC in plenty of time. Hope to be able to return soon.

This is the best restaurant in Cleveland by far. I've been here a few times, but this is the first that I got some pictures and am writing a review. Very cool atmosphere, both as a bar if you want a drink and an appetizer; and also as a restaurant for a nice sit-down meal. It has a very cool nostalgic firehouse theme. Right in the heart of downtown Cleveland on Cotton Row. My girlfriend and I went last Saturday for a nice dinner. I had been wanting to try the pork loin for a while now, and finally got my wish. It was absolutely amazing. Stuffed with andouille sausage and grilled. I had a twice baked potato on the side which paired perfectly. We got the crab au gratin as an appetizer, which is a go-to app here for me. It is delicious, and addictive. She got the shrimp and corn bisque, which is usually get and am absolutely in love with. Once again, this restaurant is the nicest in Cleveland in my opinion. Go here.

This new Cleveland restaurant seems to be attracting crowds, but I don't know if they'll get a lot of repeat business. The food (mostly seafood and a couple of steaks) is mediocre and overpriced. My steak was tasty, but the salad bar and the side dishes were either not good or just ok. The firefighter theme is kind of strange. Plus, service was very friendly but very slow, and it's smokey even in the non-smoking section.
