Cleo Lounge

So...we went in hungry and I forgot to take pictures of the food before we devoured it. It was my birthday and my sister and niece in law wanted to treat me. And boy was it a treat. I had the braised short rib and it was delicious. My sister loved the monte cristo. The home fries were awesome in all the dishes, seasoned and crunchy. The service was awesome, everyone looked like they were having fun.

Cleo is a good place for drinks but the food leaves a bit to be desired at the price. I wouldn't quite characterize it as Tapas because each plate is the cost and size of a regular, albeit small, meal elsewhere. Circling back to the drinks you will find mainly heavily sweetened cocktails and a decent wine selection. My main complaint is at this price point you expect everything to be overall better than what you get. If you get seated in the back half of the restaurant you get a pretty generic strip mall dining experience. The front half is where you want to be for sure.

This lounge is an entire vibe!!!! From the food to the drinks to the music… everything was perfect! Pictured is the shrimp, lollipop chicken, seasonal symphony drink, and floral margarita. I also had the creole croquette! When i tell you, it was so good. The flavor combinations were so well constructed. You can tell that everything was created out of love. This place is a must try!
