Burntwood Tavern - American restaurant in Brecksville - 8188 Brecksville Rd, USA

My husband and I came here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. We got the BWT Smash Burger and the Burntwood Burger, along with a house salad and some BBQ wings. The burgers were well made and well seasoned and pretty tasty and the chicken wings and salad were delicious. Whatever was in that Sweet and Sour vinegrette, I'll take a whole bottle please! The chicken wings were tender and juicy. The French fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned deliciously. The portions looked small when they brought out our food but looks can be deceiving because we both needed boxes to take home our leftovers. The atmosphere was nice; rustic and cozy, and we even got a table by the window with a curtain draped above us. All in all we would return. Thank you to our server, Chaz, who was friendly, accommodating, and informative.

The service was very good, however my calamari was over cooked and my crispy shrimp tacos were on the burned side. My lobster bisque was very sloppy with the bisque spilled all over the side of the bowl. There were only a few people here on a Tuesday at 3:30pm.

Perfect Venue For My Daughter’s Bridal Shower! Marg, one of the managers, could not have been more accommodating, kind, and just present for anything and everything. She was available through text as needed before the event, which to me is priceless when planning such a big event. She met with us two times and took down notes and even made a drawing of what we wanted as far as set up so that it would be ready for us on that day. She also allowed us to bring in whatever we wanted to decorate. Marg responded to our text on the morning of the event and made sure the doors were unlocked for us to set up. She made arrangements to allow us to drop off some things the night before the shower and store them in the Burntwood office and then helped us carry them up to the loft area as we were setting up! On the day of our shower, she made every step of the way so easy for us. Marg made sure that our waitresses were up there ready to help! I have to say, we had two amazing waitresses, Emily and Emily! The two Emilys were very helpful, polite and did an exceptional job serving and taking care of the entire party. There were many times they had to run downstairs to bring things to us and they did it with smiles on their faces. I also have to mention the breakfast/brunch food was delicious and fresh! We had waffles, eggs, bacon, crunchy potatoes, fruit, muffins and danish, They offered a mimosa bar as well at a reasonable cost. It turned out to be such a beautiful and fun wedding shower for my daughter. Everyone raved about it! It would not have been possible without Marg’s organization and the accommodating staff at this venue. One more shout-out to another manager, Dillon. He was also very helpful with answering questions and confirming some things in the planning part of this event when Marg was not in. The price of the event was just right and I would not hesitate to go back to this particular Burntwood (in Brecksville) for any future event! Amazing managers and just a great venue for any occasion! One suggestion…. Wish there would have been elevator access or maybe a ramp for those who could not use stairs to get up to the beautiful loft area.

The atmosphere here is amazing. We dressed casually, but there were also people there in suits and dresses, so anything goes. The food was good and the service was great. This would be a great choice for a date night or a family dinner. They take reservations, and they fill up fast at meal times so I recommend one.

Having only visited this restaurant when it was called "The Spanish Tavern", I was stunned at how different it is; in the best possible way! We love the historical feeling of the restaurant itself, and the staff made us feel welcome to wander around the restaurant, because I'm a history nut. The wait staff was amazing and possibly the most accommodating that I've ever seen. The food was better the first time I was here, but that could happen anywhere. Also, while wandering around, we noticed a very strong wet/musty odor in the lower bar level which will likely keep me from eating a meal down there. For me though, the history of the building (worth a look-up before you visit) and the very historical ambience is what I love the most. Oh, and did I mention the Ghost?!

Delicious!!! The food was amazing. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm. Definitely going back. Only criticism...when we walked in there were 4 hostesses standing there doing nothing and it was a little off putting. I'm sure because it wasn't incredibly busy but made us a bit hesitant out of the gate. The food and bartender totally turned it into a great experience.

The atmosphere is elegant. The prices are reasonable and the food is excellent. The cedar plank salmon is delicious, well seasoned and tender. The service is prompt and polite. It is a great place to meet family and friends. They have great happy hour specials also.

The food was decent once we finally received it, we had a reservation for 13 and 11 showed up, but the table only held 10 comfortably. One person had to squeeze in at the end of the table with another person! Not sure what we would ha e done if everyone showed up? No accomogations were made for another table. We were seated by the door that kept opening and cold air rushing in each time. I asked for a list of whiskeys and the waitress came back with a picture on her phone of the bar. Drinks took forever, about half an hour and we had to keep asking for them. The food came out 1 or 2 at a time and long in-between. The waitress not once but twice tried to give me a steak, when I ordered chicken and insisted it was my order. Everyone was done eating by the time I finally received my dinner. Not a good place for larger parties and bad service all around!
